Article Synopsis
  • The study explored how Rhizopus oryzae and Candida tropicalis convert olive mill waste into flavor compounds through microbial fermentation in different culture methods.
  • Results showed significant increases in microbial populations and varying levels of d-limonene production, with C. tropicalis outperforming R. oryzae in shake cultures but the opposite occurring in bioreactor settings.
  • Sensory analysis revealed different aromatic profiles, with R. oryzae producing a broader range of strong aromas compared to the more limited profiles from C. tropicalis.

Bioflavours are called natural flavour and/or fragrance compounds which are produced using metabolic pathway of the microorganism and/or plant cells or their enzyme systems with bioengineering approaches. The aim of this study was to investigate bioflavour production from tomato and red pepper pomaces by Kluyveromyces marxianus and Debaryomyces hansenii. Obtained specific growth rates of K.

The yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus produces a range of volatile molecules with applications as fragrances or flavours. The purpose of this study was to establish how nutritional conditions influence the production of these metabolites. Four strains were grown on synthetic media, using a variety of carbon and nitrogen sources and volatile metabolites analysed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Adrenal incidentaloma was detected in an 81-year-old male patient and a 37-year-old female patient who had been diagnosed with essential thrombocytosis. Each patient's Janus Kinase 2 (JAK2) V617F mutation was positive, and they were evaluated as having non-functional adrenal incidentaloma. The JAK2 activates the signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) proteins which then activate the phosphoinositol-3 kinases, Ras, mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases, and transcription.
