We used Biochemistry and molecular biology methods to identify presumptive lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains and their biotechnological proprieties screened. The count of germs in CFU/g of Total Mesophilic Aerobic Microorganisms; Staphylococcus aureus, Total coliforms, fungi and LAB shows that the analysed samples are good for consumption (AFNOR, 1996). LAB strains were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus fermentum, Pediococcus pentosaceus and Pediococcus acidilactici. Lactobacillus fermentum shown better acidification and antioxidant activity. Pediococcus pentosaceus produced high lactic acid and showed better proteolytic activity. Pediococcus acidilactici produced high exopolysaccharide while the best amylolytic activity was observed by Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus fermentum.

Acetate, propionate, and butyrate maintain colonic lining integrity and ideal colon activity. Butyrate is also known to be an energy source and assist in anti-inflammatory response. Maintaining an optimal ratio of these SCFAs reduce the risk of inflammation and promote a healthy colon. We evaluated the effect of Revivify Oral Liquid Gel (composition: US Patent 11 224 636) on gut microbiomes and SCFAs by an in vitro model of gut microbiome study.

It reflects the public concern over animal suffering during transport and slaughter. The research aimed to assess the knowledge of slaughterhouse employees before and after their participation in an e-learning program and to evaluate their assessment of the e-learning program, with the goal of improving online training materials for animal welfare in livestock transport and slaughter. This study utilized an online platform to deliver an e-learning program on animal behavior and cattle handling. The program consisted of two pilot modules with training videos. For each module, an evaluation and a pre-test and post-test were conducted using the same set of questions. Participants were employees in German cattle slaughterhouses, and data was collected through animal welfare officers. This study involved 25 participants, predominantly German-speaking, who completed two pilot modules, a knowledge test, and an evaluation. The participants had diverse demographic characteristics, with varying years of experience and educational backgrounds. German-speaking participants performed better in the pre-test of the animal behavior module, while Romanian-speaking participants scored higher in the post-test. Romanianspeaking participants also outperformed in the cattle handling module. There was a significant improvement in scores from pre-test to posttest in both language groups. Some specific questions were sometimes incorrectly answered in the pre-test but were correctly answered in the post-test. Romanian-speaking participants took longer, potentially due to translation difficulties. Limitations included participant selection and the lack of long-term assessment. Overall, the results suggest that participants had prior knowledge, while knowledge pertaining to specific questions was improved by e-learning, possibly influenced by video-based learning.","PeriodicalId":15858,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Nutrition Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135649384","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}

In a sample of 471 immigrants, we identified common tendencies and actual perceptions on their ability to adapt to Cretan food and cuisine. The most favorable food category by the immigrants was bread, cereals and flour, followed by eggs, milk, yogurt, and cheese. Fish was the least favorite food category. Depending on gender, age, countryof- origin, marital status, population size at place of residence, employment in the country-of-origin, and education level in the country-of-origin, the results show differences in the dietary habits of immigrants. The level of inclusion of Cretan products in their daily menus is high (46.5%), and the most popular traditional Cretan dish is lamb roast in a wood-fire oven (42.5%). Most respondents do not report to miss traditional dishes from their home country (58.6%). Testing on the “level of English language used”, at a 5% significance level, we found a positive correlation; the better the English language level, the more they acknowledged the extent of change in their eating habits. A similar finding was recorded for the parameters: “educational level”, and “monthly income in the country-oforigin”. The study recorded significant adaptation of the immigrants to the new nutritional and social conditions. Our results may help relevant government and local self-administration policies, i.e. improving the language level of the immigrants and offering nutritional consultation will certainly help.","PeriodicalId":15858,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Science and Nutrition Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135649398","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}
