It is associated with a number of potential health benefits for human organism. Many foods are a good source of it but it is mosty found in meat and dairy products, derived from ruminants. Dairy products contain CLA in different amounts. The enrichment of these products with CLA is appropriate given the lower CLA content in these products in comparison with the recommended health intake. Modification of CLA concentration can be done by specific animal feeding and diet modification, by direct CLA supplementation in the form of oils or by addition of specific starter culture. The influence of technological treatments on the stability of the final product during storage and maturation is still not completely elucidated. There is a need for further studies on the physiological effects of CLA isomers on humans. The purpose of this review is to summarize the possibilities for increasing CLA content in milk and dairy products and to determine the possible effects of this enrichment on product stability – sensory, chemical, microbiological profile, shelf life and potential health effects of the obtained products.","PeriodicalId":22746,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Microbiology, Biotechnology and Food Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79134387","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}

Luminescence-based techniques, for they cost efficiency, fastness, reliability and reproducibility are particularly appropriate for such studies. We used bioluminescence sensing assay to determine ATP levels in the yeast Schizosaccharomyce pombe. Determination of adenosine concentration per cell was assessed in the yeast cells counted prior to the experiment. To test the methodology, model organism was exposed to life-threatening concentration of heavy metals cadmium and nickel for three hours. Afterwards, changes in the ATP levels were detected and compared to the control. Strikingly, our results revealed that such conditions lead to considerable increase in the production of ATP by mitochondria compared to untreated cells. Normal level of ATP in the control increased from the basal 9.92x10-16 M to 2.90x10-15 M after Cd exposure and to 7.58x10-15 M upon Ni treatment. The methodology was subsequently used for assessment of cleanness of margarine producing company devices after regular sanitation procedure. Detection of only negligible amount of the ATP signal confirmed good cleaning strategy in the tested food processing company.","PeriodicalId":22746,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Microbiology, Biotechnology and Food Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78603161","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}

We investigated effect of extract consisting mainly of polyphenols, brown algae and plant polysaccharides on the reproduction potential of male rabbits (New Zealand white breed) during 60 days long dietary experiment. The rabbits were divided into three groups. Control was fed a basal diet, whereas the second and third group were supplemented with seaweed and polyphenols mixture: T1 = 0.3% and T2 = 0.6% respectively. We observed that sperm concentration in both experimental groups increased in comparison to the control group. Results of the CASA analysis showed enhanced motility (C = 85.09±7.53%, T1 = 87.21±8.25%, T2 = 89.38±8.02%) and progressive motility (C = 74.28±12.6%, T1 = 79.07±13.89%, T2 = 81.28±11.37%) in experimental groups supplemented with combination of algae and polyphenols in comparison with the control group. While monitoring ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP), we found the highest value in T1 group, changes were insignificat. An increase in GPx activity was measured in experimental groups in comparison with the control group with major difference in T1 group. In experimental groups, we determined an increase in activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in comparison with control group, the difference was significant in T2 group (C = 0.26±0.11 U/mg TP; T2 = 0.31±0.09 U/mg TP). In conclusion, our studies suggest that dietary supplementation with brown seaweed and plant polyphenols mixture may be potentially useful for enhancement of sperm motility and protection against oxidative stress.","PeriodicalId":22746,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Microbiology, Biotechnology and Food Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76809774","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}

Root mean square error (RMSE), correlation coefficient (R2), and the sum of square errors (SSE) these four statistical measures were examined for nine different models to learn the best-fitted model.
