Article Synopsis
  • Ostrich meat is a nutritious alternative to traditional meats like poultry and beef, and adding plant species like hot peppers and acerola can enhance sausage quality and consumer acceptance.
  • Researchers conducted thorough microbiological and chemical analyses to examine aspects such as biogenic amines, heavy metals, and antioxidants in these sausages.
  • The study found that the addition of plant additives improved health benefits by reducing fat oxidation and enhancing taste and smell, while lactic acid bacteria present posed a potential risk due to biogenic amines.

Objectives: The cognitive outcome of pediatric epilepsy surgery has mainly been examined on the basis of standardized tests. Here, we analyzed the outcome in six cognitive domains from the parents' view.

Methods: Included were consecutive surgical pediatric patients whose parents filled-in a comprehensive questionnaire on cognitive problems in children and adolescents (Kognitive Probleme bei Kindern und Jugendlichen (KOPKIJ); Gleissner et al.

The presence of Alicyclobacillus, a thermoacidophilic and spore-forming bacterium, in acidic fruit juices poses a serious problem for the processing industry. A typical sign of spoilage in contaminated juices is a characteristic phenolic off-flavour associated with the production of guaiacol. Spores are formed in response to starvation and in a natural environment re-access the nutrients, e.

The presence of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris, a thermoacidophilic and spore-forming bacterium, in pasteurized acidic juices poses a serious problem for the processing industry. Therefore, the use of other more effective techniques, such as high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCD), is considered for preserving juices in order to inactivate these bacteria, while reducing the loss of nutrients and sensory quality of juices. On the other hand, HHP and SCCD when combined with a moderately elevated temperature can induce germination of bacterial spores, making them more vulnerable to inactivation.

Given the importance of spoilage caused by Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris for the fruit juice industry, the objective of this work was to study the germination and inactivation of A. acidoterrestris spores induced by moderate hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure treatment can induce the germination and inactivation of A.
