In order to expand with validated scientific data the limited knowledge regarding potential application of insects as innovative feed ingredients for poultry, present study tested a partial substitution soya bean meal and oil defatted black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae (H) in diet growing broiler quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) on growth performance, mortality, nutrients apparent digestibility, microbiological composition excreta, choice, carcass meat traits. With this purpose,...
In the perspective of improving sustainability meat production, insects have been rapidly emerging as innovative feed ingredient for some livestock species, including poultry. However, at present, there is still limited knowledge regarding quality and sensory traits derived meat. Therefore, present study tested effect a partial substitution soya bean meal oil with defatted black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae (H) in diet growing broiler quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) on...
In the present study we characterized 47 food-borne isolates of Bacillus cereus using multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Newly determined sequences were combined with available in public data banks order to produce largest set possible. Phylogenetic analysis was performed on a total 296 strains for which MLST information is available, and three main lineages--I, II, III--within B. complex identified. With few exceptions, all group I. The occurrence horizontal gene transfer (HGT) among...
The emergence of microorganisms exerting resistance to biocides is a challenge meat-processing environments. Bacteria can be intrinsically resistant but also acquired by adaptation their sub-lethal concentrations. Moreover the presence biocide determinants, which closely linked antibiotic could lead co-selection during disinfection practices along food chain and select cross-resistant foodborne pathogens. purpose this work was test wild strains Listeria monocytogenes, isolated from pork meat...
This study evaluated heavy metal levels (Pb, Cd, Hg, As, Cu) and the presence of Salmonella spp. Listeria monocytogenes in mussels commonly consumed fishery products from Marmara region Türkiye. Health risks were using total hazard quotient (THQ) index (HI) values, while microbial fresh ready-to-eat (RTE) estimated via Risk Ranger tool. Among 625 samples, Hg (36.96%; CI95 = 33.27–48.81), Pb (9.76%; 7.67–12.34), Cd (19.36%; 16.45–22.64) exceeded permissible limits, except crabs, which...
Mozzarella cheese obtained from buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) milk is a typical Italian product certificated by means of the European Protected Designation Origin (PDO). can also be bovine or bovine/buffalo mixtures, but in this case, it cannot sold as PDO product, and its label must report actual ingredients. However, products was frequently detected past, suggesting fraudulent addition accidental contamination. Several methods based on end-point polymerase chain reaction (PCR) have been...
In fresh fish products, excessive loads of Pseudomonas can lead to their rapid spoilage. It is wise for Food Business Operators (FBOs) consider its presence both in whole and prepared products. With the current study, we aimed quantify spp. fillets Salmo salar, Gadus morhua Pleuronectes platessa. For all three species, detected presumptive no lower than 104-105 cfu/g more 50% samples. We isolated 55 strains carried out biochemical identification; 67.27% isolates were actually Pseudomonas....
The assessment of histamine levels in fishery products has emerged as a paramount issue the context global food safety, given its profound implications for human health and consequential impact on quality trade. Histamine intoxication, stemming from ingestion foods containing heightened levels, results bacterial decarboxylation histidine under conditions improper handling, processing, or storage. This study endeavors to provide thorough examination contamination frozen-thawed tuna (Thunnus...
Fish fillets are highly susceptible to spoilage, with Pseudomonas spp. bacteria being among the main culprits. To maintain products' quality and safety, it is important control load of these microorganisms understand their growth potential in fish fillets. However, setting up challenge tests might be hard due difficulty differentiating intentionally inoculated from those already present on overcome this obstacle, a pilot study using aeruginosa, clinically significant bacterial species that...
The aquatic ecosystem is the natural habitat of microorganisms including Vibrio and Aeromonas genus which are pathogenic to human animals. In present investigation frequency these bacteria enzymatic characteristics 34 alginolyticus strains isolated from bivalves harvested in Venice Lagoon (Italy) Guanabara Bay (Brazil) were carried out November 2003 February 2004. mussels' samples submitted enrichment Alkaline Peptone Water (APW) added with 1% sodium chloride (NaCl) APW plus 3% NaCl...
Abstract Considering that few data are currently available about donkey milk microbiological quality and given the spread of food‐borne outbreaks strongly linked with consumption raw milk, aim present study was to investigate food safety Italian milk. Total viable count (TVC) coagulase‐positive Staphylococcus were evaluated verify process hygiene criteria for donkey's The presence Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes , Cronobacter sakazakii E. coli O157, Campylobacter spp. estimate its...
In North-East Italy (the Veneto region), several public school nutrition policies have been developed to reduce the consumption of high-caloric snacks and beverages. However, little is known about whether actually influence students' dietary behaviors. order address this point, a multi-center cross-sectional survey 691 Italian students was conducted. Students completed Beverage Snack Questionnaire, which assesses beverages at out school. Three-level Poisson Models with random intercept...
<p>The experiment aimed to study the effect of Digestarom® dietary inclusion (herbal formulation containing a mixture essential oils, herbs, spices and extracts) on apparent digestibility digestive ecosystem growing rabbits, as well effects its supplementation before after weaning growth performance. At kindling, rabbit does litters were divided into 2 groups (51 does/group) fed either control diet (C) or supplemented with 300 mg Digestarom®/kg (D) until weaning, which occurred at 35 d...
