Article Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to critically assess the effects of grape product supplementation on lipid profiles in adults. A comprehensive electronic search was performed with no limitation in time and language. All randomized controlled trials (RCT) that reported the effects of grape products in any form on lipid profiles were included. Moreover, fifty-nine arms from forty-eight RCTs were included in the present study. Meta-analysis indicated that the consumption of grape products reduced the concentration of total cholesterol (MD: -6.196 mg dl-1, 95% CI: -9.203, -3.189), low-density lipoprotein (MD: -4.964 mg dl-1, 95% CI: -7.594, -2.334) and triglyceride (MD: -7.641 mg dl-1, 95% CI: -12.120, -3.162). However, grape products did not have significant effects on the concentration of high-density lipoprotein (MD: 0.385 mg dl-1, 95% CI: -0.364, 1.133). Grape product supplementation changed the HDL and LDL in a non-linear fashion based on the dose of polyphenols. The present study revealed that grape products might have a favorable role in the achievement of a lipid profile target.

Significant agro-industrial waste is produced during the winemaking process, including grape stalks, which are a rich source of the valuable biopolymer holocellulose that can be utilized for biotechnological processes. The purpose of this study was to delignify grape stalks in order to extract holocellulose. Then Lactobacillus plantarum (LP) was immobilized in the interstitial spaces of holocellulose and then coated with natural polymers (chitosan, Ch; and alginate, Al) to create the Holo-LP/Ch/Al complex.

is considered one of the main fungi responsible for black and sour rot in grapes, as well as the production of the carcinogenic mycotoxin ochratoxin A. The global regulatory methyltransferase protein controls the production of various secondary metabolites in species, as well as influences sexual and asexual reproduction and morphology. The goal of this study was to investigate the role of the regulatory gene in physiology, virulence, and ochratoxin A (OTA) production by deleting this gene from the genome of a wild-type strain.

Apples and strawberries hold significant commercial and nutritional value but face pre- and post-harvest spoilage due to infections by While spoilage is conventionally managed using synthetic chemicals, there is a growing interest in utilising yeasts as biological control agents. This study aimed to assess the antifungal potential of non- yeasts , , and against three strains (B05.10, IWBT-FF1, and PPRI 30807) on agar plates and in post-harvest trials on apples and strawberries.

Through its initiative known as the Climate Change Act (2008), the Government of the United Kingdom encourages corporations to enhance their environmental performance with the significant aim of reducing targeted greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2050. Previous research has predominantly assessed this encouragement favourably, suggesting that improved environmental performance bolsters governmental efforts to protect the environment and fosters commendable corporate governance practices among companies. Studies indicate that organisations exhibiting strong corporate social responsibility (CSR), environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria, or high levels of environmental performance often engage in lower occurrences of tax avoidance.
