Published: March 2016

Flavour is a very important attribute contributing to the sensory quality of meat and meat products. Although the sensory quality of meat includes orthonasal and retronasal aroma, taste, as well as appearance, juiciness and other textural attributes, the focus of this review is primarily on flavour. The influence of species, age, gender, muscle anatomical location, diet, harvesting conditions, ageing of meat, packaging and storage, as well as cooking method on the flavour of game meat are discussed. Very little research is available on the factors influencing the flavour of the meat derived from wild and free-living game species. The aim of this literature review is thus to discuss the key ante- and post-mortem factors that influence the flavour of game meat, with specific focus on wild and free-living South African game species.

The maintenance of cognitive function is essential for quality of life and health outcomes in later years. Cognitive impairment, however, remains an undervalued long-term complication of type 2 diabetes by patients and providers alike. The burden of sustained hyperglycemia includes not only cognitive deficits but also the onset and progression of dementia-related conditions, including Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Norm strength and norm stability.

In our review, we explore two different flavors of social norms: strength and stability. These two fundamental features are crucial for understanding norm change and designing effective interventions. Strong norms, which significantly influence behavior and are widely adopted, and stable norms, which endure over time, are essential for group coordination and addressing collective challenges.

Unpleasant flavor is a commonly stated reason for avoiding vegetables. However, repeated exposure to flavors, even unpleasant vegetable flavors, improves acceptability. Yet, increasing exposure to vegetables is difficult, as vegetables can be less convenient, available, and affordable than other foods.

Game changer for anaerobic fermentation of paper mulberry: Sucrose-loaded biochar enhancing microbial communities and lactic acid fermentation.

Bioresour Technol

December 2024

College of Grassland Science and Technology, China Agricultural University, Beijing, China; College of Animal Science, Guizhou University, Guiyang, China.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study explored how biochar, alone or with added sucrose, affects the fermentation quality and microbial communities of anaerobically fermented paper mulberry.
  • - Biochar interacts with lactic acid to enhance the growth of beneficial bacteria; when sucrose is added, it supports a different fermentation process that increases lactic acid and decreases ammoniacal nitrogen.
  • - Tests showed that the combination of biochar and sucrose led to better rumen digestion and lower methane emissions, making it a promising option for improving lactic acid production in anaerobic conditions.

The European Union (EU) aims for a tobacco use prevalence of less than 5% by 2040 with its Tobacco-Free Generation goal, aligning with the tobacco endgame approach. In the Joint Action on Tobacco Control 2 (JATC-2) -project, we examined adopted and planned endgame goals and measures as well as preparedness to counter tobacco industry interference in the process. We surveyed key informants in 24 out of 50 countries in the WHO European Region (19 of the 27 EU Member States, MS).
