New aquaculture production systems are evolving for prolong of Atlantic salmon smolts or post-smolts before stocking in traditional net pens, such as semi-closed containment (S-CCS) sea (Fig. 1) and recirculating (RAS) on land. The microbiota these can potentially have great impact the robustness health fish. These two types likely to different challenges regarding pathogenic invasion due water management, e.g. treatment intake turnover water. In this study, we investigated bacterial both...
Nitrite derivatives react with endogenous precursors forming N-nitrosamines associated development of colorectal cancer. The present study aims to investigate the formation in sausage during processing and vitro gastrointestinal digestion after adding sodium nitrite and/or spinach emulsion. INFOGEST protocol was used simulate oral, gastric, small intestinal phases digestion, added oral phase mimic input from saliva as it has shown affect N-nitrosamines. results show that addition emulsion,...
This study investigates the relationships between basic tastes and fattiness sensitivity food liking in 11-year-old children. The taste of 106 children was measured using different methods, namely detection (DT) recognition (RT) thresholds, responsiveness. Caffeine quinine (bitter), sucrose (sweet), citric acid (sour), sodium chloride (salty), monosodium glutamate (umami) were investigated for DT RT at five concentrations water solutions. In addition, responsiveness collected high-intensity...
Boar taint is a major obstacle when using uncastrated male pigs for swine production. One of the main compounds causing this androstenone, pheromone produced in porcine testis. Here we use microarrays to study expression thousands genes simultaneously testis high and low androstenone boars. The allows identification pathways associated with elevated levels, which essential recognising potential molecular markers breeding purposes. Testicular tissue was collected from 60 boars, 30 extreme...
The effect of extrusion barley and oat on the fecal microbiota formation SCFA was evaluated using growing pigs as model system. were fed a diet containing either whole grain (BU), groat (OU), or their respective extruded samples (BE OE). 454 pyrosequencing showed that affected by both type. Extruded resulted in lower bacterial diversity enrichment operational taxonomic units (OTUs) affiliated with members Streptococcus, Blautia Bulleidia genera, while untreated OTUs Bifidobacterium...
In 2015, the United Nations' sustainable development sub-goal 12.3 called for halving food waste per capita by 2030. Norway, dinner leftovers are largest consumer category, particularly in households with children. To reduce household waste, we hypothesised that different strategies profiles necessary and aimed to document self-reported relation consumers' attitudes personalities. a survey, 333 consumers children reported their perceived (PDW). addition, collected respondents' towards as...
Boar taint is the unpleasant odour and flavour of meat uncastrated male pigs that primarily caused by high levels androstenone skatole in adipose tissue. Androstenone a steroid its are mainly genetically determined. Studies on metabolism have, however, focused limited number genes. Identification additional genes influencing may facilitate implementation marker assisted breeding practices. In this study, microarrays were used to identify differentially expressed pathways related liver from...
Boar taint is an unpleasant odor and flavor of the meat occurs in a high proportion uncastrated male pigs. Androstenone, steroid produced testis acting as sex pheromone regulating reproductive function female pigs, one main compounds responsible for boar taint. The primary goal present investigation was to determine differential gene expression selected candidate genes related levels androstenone pigs.Altogether 2560 boars from Norwegian Landrace Duroc populations were included this study....
may persist in food production environments and cause listeriosis. In Norway, a product of concern is the traditional popular fermented fish "
A more plant-based diet will contribute to food sustainability. Achieving this change requires collaboration across disciplines which is not easy achieve. This article illustrates how interdisciplinary in a large research project can be facilitated through design-led innovation process juxtaposing approaches from design and science. Consumer insights were used creative workshops ideate develop packaging product concepts for focusing on ‘environment’, ‘health’ ‘Norwegian’ imperatives....
Human health is to a large extent affected by our food choices. Recent advances in the sensory field have shown relations between taste perception and oral microbiota, which could open up for new pathway change preferences. Here, we summarize latest insights on microbiota discuss upon knowledge gaps. Although relationships bacteria thresholds been shown, there are inconsistencies among studies, direction of causality needs be proven. Within-subject longitudinal studies recommended, three...
The objective of this study was to investigate the relationships between taste responsiveness and food liking in preadolescents. Model samples grapefruit juice (GF) vegetable broth (VB) modified with four additions sucrose sodium chloride, respectively, were employed. Intensity perception for sweetness, sourness, bitterness measured GF while saltiness umami VB. children (N = 148) also completed choice, familiarity, stated neophobia questionnaires. test conducted at school, instructions...
Cold-smoked salmon are ready-to-eat products that may support the growth of pathogenic Listeria monocytogenes during their long shelf-life. Consumption such contaminated can cause fatal listeriosis infections. Another challenge and potential risk associated with CS is high levels sodium salt. Excess dietary intake serious health complications. In present study, anti-listerial bacteriocin (nisin), P100 bacteriophages (Phageguard L, PGL) fermentates (Verdad N6, P-NDV) were evaluated as...
