Hazelnut skins (HS) are usually managed as waste; however, this by-product is a source of bioactive compounds, with potential applications in feed and food sectors. Phenolic compounds can be extracted using green protocols combining enabling technologies and green solvents. This work investigates subcritical water extraction (SWE) of bioactive compounds from HS.

Specifically, it has been highlighted that minced pork meat is easily perishable and may increase the growth of , which could be harmful to the general public's health. This study aimed to investigate the potential application of olive oil mill wastewater polyphenolic and red beet extracts as natural antimicrobial agents for growth control in burgers.

- - Feline primary hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a heart disease involving thickening of the left ventricle, and this study focused on the regulatory roles of microRNAs and mRNAs in affected cat heart tissue.
- - Researchers analyzed the expression of key sarcomeric genes in heart tissues from both primary and secondary HCM cats and found significant differences in gene expression, particularly an increase in several genes in primary HCM cases.
- - While the study does not fully uncover the causes of HCM, it highlights the significance of specific microRNAs and their potential in assisting with the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease in feline patients.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined the ability of multidrug-resistant (MDR) serovar Infantis strains to form biofilms, which can link environmental contamination to food processing issues.
- Eighty strains were tested at two temperatures (22 °C and 37 °C) to assess biofilm production, with results showing most strains produced strong biofilms at 22 °C, the temperature found on broiler farms.
- Whole genome sequencing and PCR revealed important biofilm-producing genes, emphasizing the significance of temperature in biofilm development and its implications for biosecurity in poultry environments.
The treatment of dermato-pathogenic spp., particularly , in companion animals presents significant challenges due to rising antimicrobial resistance. This review explores innovative strategies to combat these infections.
