Resistance of Shiga toxin-producing (STEC) O157:H7 and serogroups O103, O26 and O145 to synthetic gastric fluid (SGF, pH 1.5) were investigated during frankfurter storage. Pathogens were inoculated (5 ± 1 logcfu g) on frankfurters and frankfurters were stored at 4 °C for 75 days in vacuum packages. Population changes of the competitive flora and STEC, changes in the pH of the frankfurters and resistance of STEC to SGF were monitored on days 0, 15, 30, 45, 60 and 75 of frankfurter storage. Direct synthetic gastric fluid (DSGF) challenges were also conducted to assess pathogen resistance without being effected by frankfurters, by inoculating pathogen cultures directly into SGF. Results showed that acid resistance of O145 and O26 was stronger than that of O103 and O157 during frankfurter storage. Resistance of O103 to SGF was better than that of O157 during frankfurter storage but, was similar to that of O157 during DSGF challenges. Results indicate that acid resistance of some strains of STEC pathogens might differentiate during storage of frankfurters. Different resistance capabilities to SGF were observed in the STEC strains when inoculated and stored on frankfurters than directly inoculated in the SGF.

Article Synopsis
  • Feeding low iron milk substitutes contributes to anemia in neonatal dairy calves, often leading to the need for iron dextran injections on their first day of life.
  • The study found that while iron supplementation increased serum iron levels, it did not significantly affect serum ferritin levels and that diseased calves had lower iron concentrations compared to healthy ones.
  • Results indicated significant correlations between red blood cell count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit levels, highlighting the complexity in using serum ferritin as a reliable anemia indicator in very young calves.

The aim of the study was to investigate how smoke-associated flavoring substances behave during storage in Frankfurter-type sausages. The diffusion behavior of seven selected aroma substances in the sausage matrix and the influence of the packaging and the casing were examined over a storage period of 28 days. The sausages were cut into uniformly thick layers at defined time intervals and examined by headspace-solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Nanoparticles including extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells are of increasing interest for research and clinical use in regenerative medicine. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including also previously named exosomes, provide a promising cell-free tool for therapeutic applications, which is probably a safer approach to achieve sufficient healing. Storage of EVs may be necessary for clinical applications as well as for further experiments, as the preparation is sometimes laborious and larger quantities tend to be gained.

Nuclear receptor corepressors (NCoRs) function in multiprotein complexes containing histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) to alter transcriptional output primarily through repressive chromatin remodelling at target loci. In the liver, loss of HDAC3 causes a marked hepatosteatosis largely because of de-repression of genes involved in lipid metabolism; however, the individual roles and contribution of other complex members to hepatic and systemic metabolic regulation are unclear. Here we show that adult loss of both NCoR1 and NCoR2 (double knockout (KO)) in hepatocytes phenocopied the hepatomegalic fatty liver phenotype of HDAC3 KO.

Technology in the meat industry is advancing to create healthier and more sustainable food. Incorporating micro- and macroalgae into meat products presents an exciting possibility for the meat sector to develop functional food, given that they serve as excellent natural sources of nutrients and bioactive compounds. This review aims to systematically outline the impact of incorporating whole algae and their extracts into various meat products, examining their effects on quality, physicochemical and functional properties, sensory characteristics, and potential for enhancing shelf life.
