Trials have been carried out to examine the effects of a food additive supply (Maturex) and/or of anabolic implant (Revalor) on carcass characteristics and on veal meat qualities. Twelve Holstein × Française Frisonne Pie Noire calves acted as controls, twelve calves were implanted with Revalor, approximately 60 days prior to slaughter, twelve others were fed with Maturex, whilst the remaining twelve animals were fed with Maturex and implanted with Revalor. All animals were slaughtered at 4 months. Revalor implantation had a significant effect on carcass weight and conformation. Feeding with Maturex had no significant effect on different carcass characteristics. Neither anabolic treatment nor Maturex supplementation significantly affected pH value, haematocrit, pigment content, FOP, colour characteristics, collagen content and solubility, or dry matter. Although Revalor had a negative effect on weight losses during cooking, Maturex showed no significant effect. While Maturex showed a positive effect on tenderness and no effect on juiciness, Revalor showed a negative effect on tenderness and juiciness. For all sensory characteristics, no effect was noted when both Maturex and Revalor were used together.

Background/objectives: Dementia is not a single disease but an umbrella term that encompasses a range of symptoms, such as memory loss and cognitive impairments, which are severe enough to disrupt daily life. One of the most common forms of dementia is Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a complex neurodegenerative condition influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Recent research has highlighted diet as a potential modifiable risk factor for AD.

Tick-bite hypersensitivity encompasses a range of clinical manifestations, from localized allergic reactions to systemic conditions like alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), an IgE-mediated allergy to galactose-α-1,3-galactose (α-Gal). This study investigated the clinical, molecular, immunological, and genetic features of two hypersensitivity cases. Two cases were analyzed: a 30-year-old woman with fixed drug reaction (FDR)-like hypersensitivity and a 10-year-old girl with AGS exhibiting borderline α-Gal-specific IgE.

Beef jerky is a traditional meat product. It is uses beef as the main raw material, and is processed through multiple procedures such as curing, maturing, drying, sterilization, and packaging. However, changes in raw materials, curing solution, the choice of fermenter, and fermentation conditions affect the quality and flavor of beef jerky.

represents a diverse group of pathogens commonly associated with food contamination including red meat. Even though pre- and post-harvest cleaning and sanitization procedures are widely implemented at meat processing plants to mitigate the hazard, cells may escape the process by colonizing, on contact, surfaces in the form of a biofilm that functions as an aggregated microbial community to facilitate mutual protection, antimicrobial resistance, proliferation and dissemination. Biofilm development is a complex process that can be affected by a variety of factors including environmental temperature.
