Evaluation of Antimicrobial Activity of Extract against Proven Antibiotic-Susceptible and Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) Strains of Bacteria of Clinical Origin.

The goal of the present research was to screen the antimicrobial activity of an ethanolic extract of against 30 multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial strains isolated from healthcare-associated infections. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the samples against the tested bacteria were determined using the microdilution method. MDR bacterial strains were characterized using standard biochemical tests and the commercial identification systems API 20 NE and API 20 E as: spp.

Techno-Functional Properties of Burgers Fortified by Wild Garlic Extract: A Reconsideration.

The aim of this research was to examine the chemical properties of freshly squeezed wild garlic extract (FSWGE) and its use as an additive in burgers (BU). Technological and sensory properties of such fortified burgers (BU) were determined. LC-MS/MS analyses identified thirty-eight volatile BAC.

The Effect of Erythritol on the Physicochemical Properties of Reformulated, High-Protein, and Sugar-Free Macarons Produced from Whey Protein Isolate Intended for Diabetics, Athletes, and Physically Active People.

This study reports the possibility of obtaining sugar-free WPI-based macarons with erythritol addition. The whey protein isolate (WPI) solution (20%, /) was whipped, and erythritol was added to the foam at concentrations of 20, 40, and 60 g, with 125 g of almond flour. The rheological properties (τ, G', G″, and tan (δ)) and stability of the macaron batters before baking were evaluated.

Seasonal variations of Saanen goat milk composition and the impact of climatic conditions.

The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of climatic conditions and their impact on seasonal variations of physico-chemical characteristics of Saanen goat milk produced over a period of 4 years. Lactation period (early, mid and late) and year were considered as factors that influence physico-chemical composition of milk. Pearson's coefficient of correlation was calculated between the physico-chemical characteristics of milk (fat, proteins, lactose, non-fat dry matter, density, freezing point, pH, titrable acidity) and climatic condition parameters (air temperature, temperature humidity index-THI, solar radiation duration, relative humidity).
