Modulating the aroma and taste profile of soybean using novel strains for fermentation.
Curr Res Food Sci
December 2024
A key factor influencing consumer acceptance of soybean products is the aroma and taste profile, which can be modulated through fermentation using unique microbial strains. This study aimed to identify and characterize novel microbial strains with the potential to enhance flavour profiles including umami, while reducing undesirable flavour notes such as beany aromas. The results showed an 800% (8-fold) increase in free amino acids in samples fermented with , which correlated with an increase in umami intensity as measured using an E-tongue.

Contrail avoidance is a potential option to mitigate this warming effect, however, uncertainties surrounding operational constraints and accurate formation prediction make it unclear whether it is feasible. Here we address this gap with a feasibility test through a randomized controlled trial of contrail avoidance in commercial aviation at the per-flight level.

- Anatomical education is shifting from traditional cadaver dissection to a combination of learner-centered methods and technology-enhanced learning.
- The study, conducted at a graduate medical school in Singapore, used the technology acceptance model to evaluate first-year MD students' preferences for different learning technologies in anatomy tutorials.
- Results showed significant preferences for 3D-printed models over Primal Pictures in Spine Anatomy and for Primal VR over the Anatomage Table in Brain Anatomy, emphasizing the importance of visualization in learning despite some technologies having a steeper learning curve.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the incidence of surgically managed Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury (TSCI) in Singapore and identified factors influencing patient discharge locations from two level one trauma centers from 2020 to 2021.
- Out of 44 patients, the majority were elderly (median age 65), with falls being the leading cause of injury, and half of the patients were discharged home while the others were sent to community hospitals or nursing homes.
- The research highlighted the need for falls prevention strategies, specialized spinal rehabilitation for older adults, and the potential establishment of a national registry to improve TSCI management in the country.
