Abstract Grape berry, a nonclimacteric fruit, during ripening turns from green, hard and acidic to coloured, soft sweet. Many studies have focused on dynamic changes of mRNA levels, metabolites, sugars or individual proteins, but this is the first report proteomic approach applied screening most prominent variations that take place berry ripening. Vitis vinifera cv. ‘Nebbiolo Lampia’ berries were collected at 10‐day intervals, starting 1 month after flowering complete ripe stage; total...
The control of ripening the non-climacteric grapevine fruit is still a matter debate, but several lines evidence point to an important role for hormone abscisic acid (ABA). effects ABA treatments on Cabernet Sauvignon berries before and at véraison were studied using 2-DE proteomic approach. Proteins from whole deseeded (before véraison) berry flesh skin (at treated with 0.76 mM collected 24 h after treatment separated analysed. A total 60 protein spots showed significant variations between...
The Holder method is the recommended pasteurization for human milk banks, as it ensures microbiological safety of (HM). loss some biologically active components, due to heat treatment, a main limit diffusion donor HM. High-temperature short-time (HTST) may be an alternative maintain nutritional and immunological quality aim present study was compare impact HTST on HM protein profile. patterns HTST-treated raw were similar. modified bile salt-stimulated lipase, lactoferrin components immune...
Ageing is often characterised by nutritional deficiencies and functional alterations of the digestive immune system. The aim present study was to analyse impact consumption conventional milk with A1/A2 beta-casein, compared containing only A2 beta-casein variant, a protein profile favouring gut health. Twenty-four ageing Balb-c mice (20 months old) were fed for 4 weeks, either control diet (CTRL), supplemented bovine (A1A2) or A2/A2 (A2A2). Lymphocyte subpopulations, enzymatic activities,...
Abstract Background Horses are often fed high amounts of starch in their diets despite the well-established benefits a fibre-based diet to promote gut health and animal welfare. The aim present study was compare effects two different – one based on (HS) vs. base fibre (HF) specific parameters environment across intestinal compartments horse digestive tract. To this end differences gastrointestinal between HS HF horses were assessed terms dry matter, organic matter ash content; particle size...
Infectious and toxicological risks are the main potential hazards that operators of Human Milk Banks (HMBs) encounter must eliminate. HMBs trying to implement procedures allow manage sanitize human milk without altering significantly its nutritional biologically protective components, obtaining a product characterized by valid balance between safety biological quality. The history processing is linked origins themselves. And although other forms sterilization were used originally,...
The study was aimed at evaluating the effect of prolonged refrigeration fresh human milk (HM) on its fatty acid profile, free content, lipase activities, and oxidative status.HM from mothers preterm newborns collected, pooled, placed in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) refrigerator. Pooled aliquoted analyzed within 3 hours collection, after 24, 48, 72, 96 storage. samples were for pH, total activity room temperature 4°C, presence sodium cholate (bile salt-dependent lipase), antioxidant...
Donkey milk is considered as a functional food for sensitive consumers, such children who are allergic to cow milk. No information available regarding the effect of farming systems on quality donkey The present study aimed evaluate system and lactation stage with respect gross composition, well fat-soluble vitamins fatty acids (FA).Individual samples were collected from lactating jennies (n = 53) six largest farms located in North West Italy. performance jennies, herd characteristics feeding...
Fortification of human milk is a standard practice for feeding very low birth weight infants. However, preterm infants often still experience suboptimal growth and intolerance. New fortification strategies different commercially available fortifiers have been developed. Commercially are constituted by blend ingredients from sources, including plant oils bovine proteins, thus presenting remarkable differences in the quality macronutrients with respect to milk. Based on consideration that...
ABSTRACT Objectives: Human milk (HM) feeding leads to improved outcome for preterm infants. When mother's is unavailable, pasteurized donor HM (DHM) the recommended alternative over formula. The Holder pasteurization (HoP) method universally performed in banks; however, it known impair several functional components. aim of this study was compare efficacy HoP with 2 innovative processing methods (high‐temperature short‐time [HTST] and high‐pressure [HPP]) preserving some bioactive protein...
Abstract Background Over recent years, pet owners have started to demonstrate increased sensitivity toward their companion animals, which includes an increase in the attention paid towards nutrition, seen as a way of safeguarding pets’ welfare. The aim this study was identify how food quality traits are perceived being most important by dog and cat owners. To end, survey conducted means questionnaire distributed stores trade fairs throughout Italy. Results A total 935 surveys were collected;...
Studies have yet to evaluate how bentonite properties may affect the protein profile, polyphenol content, metal concentration, and heat stability of a white wine at different pH values. Therefore, this work assessed proteins, polyphenols, metals, haze forming tendency when heating samples before after fining treatment with four activated sodium bentonites in typical range (3.00 3.60). Soluble proteins were separated by dodecyl sulfate - polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, images compared...
Objectives: The purpose of the present randomized controlled clinical trial was to compare use donkey milk–derived fortifier (DF) with commercial bovine (BF) in very preterm or very-low-birth-weight newborns, terms feeding tolerance. Methods: This included 156 newborns born at <32 weeks gestational age and/or a birth weight ≤1500 g. Newborns were 1:1 receive enteral either BF-arm, new, DF-arm for 21 days. fortification protocol same both study arms, and 2 diets designed be isoproteic...
