Ongoing outbreaks of foodborne diseases remain a significant public health concern. Lytic phages provide promising attributes as biocontrol agents. This study characterized KFS-EC3, polyvalent and lytic phage, which was isolated from slaughterhouse sewage purified by cesium chloride density centrifugation. Host range efficiency plating analyses revealed that KFS-EC3 is can efficiently infect E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., Shigella sonnei. had latent time 20 min burst size ~71...
We investigated the effects of steaming Fijian taro (Colocasia esculenta L. Schott) corms on their functional compound contents and antioxidant activities by comparison with those un-steamed corms. Taro from Fiji were washed, peeled, cut, then either steamed or left un-steamed, freeze-dried. Ten gram each freeze-dried corm sample was extracted water, methanol, ethanol. The total phenolic content (TPC) flavonoid (TFC) determined using Folin-Ciocalteu’s colorimetric aluminum chloride methods,...
