Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess nitric oxide modified-atmosphere packaging (MAP) as a new alternative for preserving the color of ground beef compared to high oxygen (HI-OX) and carbon monoxide (CO) packaging.
- Throughout a 120-hour display period, various color metrics, myoglobin percentages, and chemical stability indicators were measured to determine the effects of each packaging type.
- While carbon monoxide showed the best results in maintaining redness and reducing discoloration, nitric oxide demonstrated a distinct color change cycle that suggests potential for future optimization, despite its performance being lower than CO.
Article Synopsis
- * Discovery of 7 new genetic loci associated with FVIII and 1 new locus for VWF, supporting their roles in thrombotic outcomes via Mendelian randomization.
- * Functional testing revealed that silencing genes like B3GNT2 and CD36 impacted FVIII and VWF release from endothelial cells, indicating their potential regulatory roles.
Background: Oral contraceptive (OC) use increases venous thromboembolism risk 2-5-fold. Procoagulant changes can be detected in plasma from OC users even without thrombosis, but cellular mechanisms that provoke thrombosis have not been identified. Endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction is thought to initiate venous thromboembolism.

However, consumer skepticism toward novel foods presents challenges regarding the acceptance of food innovations like the AAACS. Effective communication about this and other food technologies is critical.
