Its quality depends on many factors, such as, country of origin, altitude, climate, post-harvesting processing and others. This paper is focused on the possibility to determinate origin of American, African, and Asian coffees based on chemical properties of the final beverage, such as total antioxidant capacity (TAC) measured using DPPH radical, content of chlorogenic acids and caffeine determined by HPLC-DAD. Samples of green and roasted coffee (roasting level medium dark Full City ++) were used. In green samples the highest values of TAC and caffeine were measured in American samples (averagely 93.014 % inhibition of DPPH and 0.854 g.100 g-1 of caffeine respectively), the highest content of chlorogenic acids showed samples from Africa (averagely 5,037 g.100 g-1). In samples of roasted coffees values of TAC decreased by 7, 47 % in Africa samples, by 18,12 % in American, and 13,73 % in samples from Asia. Roasted African coffees showed on average 1.035 g.100 g-1 of caffeine, the highest average was measured in American samples (1.201 g.100 g-1), and lowest Asian samples (1.089 g.100 g-1). Lowest content of CGAs was obtained from African samples (0.595 g.100 g-1), and the higher from American (0.596 g.100 g-1) and African samples (0.6345 g.100 g-1). ANOVA single factor showed significant differences between green samples regarding the TAC and caffeine content. However, content of chlorogenic acids did not show any difference (p-value=0,6809) regarding the geographical origin. Same results were obtained comparing roasted samples.","PeriodicalId":22746,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Microbiology, Biotechnology and Food Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86940278","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}

The two fermentations in the mixed juices were similar physicochemical parameters (the growth of yeast, pH, total acidity, total soluble solids, and total sugar). The most abundant of the volatile compounds in these wines were ethyl acetate, ethyl hexanoate, ethyl octanoate, ethyl decanoate, isoamyl acetate, ethanol, isobutanol, isoamyl alcohol, 2-phenylethanol, β-ocimene, and acetic acid. Seven volatile compounds in the wines had odor activity values (OAVs) higher than 1, and also were selected and quantified (ethyl octanoate, ethyl hexanoate, ethyl decanoate, isoamyl acetate, isoamyl alcohol, 2-phenylethanol, and linalool). Ethyl octanoate (fruity, floral, and pineapple) had the highest OAVs in both of the mixed juices fermented with the yeast strains C12 and EC1118. The S. cerevisiae strain EC1118 can significantly produce the highest total volatile contents (359.23 mg/L), and we also found a higher level of total ester (95.50 mg/L) in the wines. Additionally, the S. cerevisiae strain EC1118 can provide a higher content of fruity aroma in wines, as indicated by the calculation of OAVs. The sensory analysis of the wines was acceptable to all the panelists, who gave color, clarity, taste, flavor, and overall acceptance scores as “like slightly” to “like moderately.”","PeriodicalId":22746,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Microbiology, Biotechnology and Food Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85161224","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}

Recently, FACS has been used to eliminate DNA-damaged human spermatozoa using YO-PRO-1 staining. Fragmentation of sperm DNA is considered as one of the reasons of male infertility. Moreover, YO-PRO-1 can effectively mark apoptotic as well as dead spermatozoa. Till now, only two FACS instruments were used for the spermatozoa sorting. However, both of them are not more commercially available from different reasons. In this study, we used novel FACSMelody Cell Sorter for the elimination of apoptotic and dead cells from the rabbit and ram semen samples in order to improve their overall quality. Briefly, semen samples were stained using YO-PRO-1 dye (apoptotic and dead cells) and/or propidium iodide (PI; only dead cells). Three different sorting experiments were performed: E1 – YO-PRO-1 and PI stained rabbit sperm cells were sorted into the tubes containing 1 ml of PBS; E2 – PI stained rabbit sperm cells were sorted into tubes that were washed with FBS prior adding PBS; and E3 – YO-PRO-1 and PI stained ram sperm cells were sorted into tubes washed with FBS prior adding PBS. As a sheath fluid sterile PBS was used. All samples, control (before sorting), negatively and positively sorted fractions, were analysed using CASA for motility assessment. Moreover, all sorted samples were re-stained with PI for viability assessment. In conclusion, elimination of dead (PI+) sperm from rabbit samples might improve their quality, since their progressive motility increased significantly (P<0.001) after sorting from 40 to 65%. However, ram spermatozoa seem to be sensitive to sorting procedure thus further optimisation of this procedure is required.","PeriodicalId":22746,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Microbiology, Biotechnology and Food Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74366763","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}

Attention was primarily focused on monitoring changes in carbohydrate processing, namely glucose, fructose, sucrose, maltose, mannitol, galactose, trehalose, and s-glucosidase activity. These biochemical determinations have shown limitations in carbohydrate processing, particularly sucrose in yeasts, and fructose, glucose and sucrose in bacteria. The effects of silver have also been observed in natural microflora found in grape must from Chardonnay and Hibernal. Colloidal silver at concentrations 40, 70 and 100 ppm and silver nanoparticles at concentrations 70, 150 and 250 ppm were used for inhibition. A plate method was used to determine the number of viable colonies. With an increasing concentration of applied substances, the growth of both yeasts and bacteria was strongly inhibited, as indicated by the numbers of colonies cultivated from the must.
