At the same time, the enormous potential of WGS in the surveillance of microorganisms and Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is increasingly realized. One Health Solutions-based on cross-sectoral typing and source attribution are increasingly spreading in relation to foodborne disease and AMR prevention. Collaboration for disease prevention between human, veterinary and food sectors is already instituted in some countries and has in some cases resulted in significant reduction in foodborne disease risk, as well as AMR risk. The success of One Health risk mitigation is to a large part based on the potential to link relevant microbiological data from different sectors (animal, food and human) as the basis for science-based decision support to reduce the risk of foodborne diseases and AMR. Such linkage is only possible if the methodologies used, or at least the outcome microbiological characterizations, are comparable. While this has been a major problem in the past, novel DNA sequencing methodologies are now providing promising new potential. The case is made for the potential to develop a global, equitable system of whole microbial genome databases to aggregate, share, mine and use microbiological genomic data, to address global food safety and public health challenges and most importantly to reduce foodborne and infectious disease burden.","PeriodicalId":12403,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Nutrition","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88964606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A cross-sectional study was conducted with food handlers from restaurants and undergraduate students of Culinary Arts and Gastronomy courses located in the metropolitan area of Florianópolis, in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. Data collection was carried out between May and July 2019, using a questionnaire. Forty six food handlers and 99 undergraduates participated. When asked if they had heard of CD, 58.7% of food handlers and 76.8% of undergraduates answered ‘Yes’, however only 10.9% of food handlers and 30.9% of undergraduate students answered correctly the concept of the disease. Regarding gluten, 95.3% of food handlers and 99.0% of undergraduates replied that they had heard about it. However, only 20.0% of food handlers and 45.4% of students were able to answer that gluten is a protein. Only 15.4% of food handlers and 37.4% of undergraduates correctly mentioned all gluten-containing cereals and 12.5% of food handlers and 28.6% of students correctly indicated all substitute options. When asked about conducting training on CD, only 7.1% of food handlers claimed to have received any training. The present study showed that the food handlers and undergraduate students in the sample presented unsatisfactory knowledge about celiac disease, gluten-free diet and culinary practices to avoid crosscontamination by gluten, which may interfere with the quality of services provided in restaurants and consequently with the quality of life of celiacs. The findings indicate the need for training of Brazilian food handlers on the subject and the inclusion of Nutrition subjects, with a focus on dietary restrictions in the Culinary Arts and Gastronomy courses in Brazil.","PeriodicalId":12403,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Nutrition","volume":"39 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87091619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ledermanniella schlechteri (LDMSC) is a genus of Podostemaceae plant family and is well known to grow naturally on rocks of rapid waters. LDMSC is rich in nutrients and one of the most consumed aquatic vegetables in Africa. However, there are not any studies performed to assess the level of toxic metals in this aquatic plant. Consequently, the aim of this study is to assess the concentration of toxic metals in LDMSC and to evaluate the potential health risk to the consumers. Plant samples were collected in Congo River at the rapid of Kinsuka-Mimosa, in the vicinity of Kinshasa, Capital City of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Toxic metal (Cr, Cu, Zn, As, Cd and Pb) concentrations in LDMSC were determined using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry whereas Hg analysis was performed using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Metal levels in LDMSC were compared with international regulation for human consumption set by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Health Organization (WHO). Metal concentrations in LDMSC varied significantly according to sampling sites. The average values (in mg kg-1) ranging from 0.44 -9.1 (Cr), 0.14-4.52 (Ni), 5.5-78.4 (Cu), 336.14-1520.91 (Zn), 0.08-0.49 (As), 0.21-0.78 (Cd), 0.44-11.81 (Pb), and 0.02-0.24 (Hg). In all sampling sites, the average concentration of Zn, As, Cd, and Hg in plant samples exceeded the FAO/WHO permissible limits for human consumption. According to FAO/WHO regulation and the calculated values of targeted risk quotient, the impact on human health is likely to occur. On other hand, according to the metal levels in LDMSC, this plant can be used as bioindicator to evaluate the state of river pollution by toxic metals.","PeriodicalId":12403,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Nutrition","volume":"277 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83069374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, demonstration of feed chopper was undertaken with objectives of demonstrate and evaluate engine driven feed chopper technology, create awareness among farmers, developmental agents, subject matter specialists and other participant stakeholders on engine driven feed chopper technology and build farmers’ knowledge and skill of production and management of the enterprises. A total of 80 trial farmers were selected from Sofi and Wahil potential sorghum and maize growing kebeles and training was given for participants on how to use the machine for livestock feed forage chopping. The machine could chop time of chopping 0.03hr, chopping efficiency 95%, Wt of off cut length 19 to 31.54 %.

After germination, the germinated brown rice should be dried at 55oC with a moisture content of less than 14% (w/w).
