Developing a robust and safe carrier for enzyme immobilization is crucial for their application in the food processing industry. In this study, a novel crosslinked chitosan microspheres (CSMs) were prepared using glutaraldehyde (GA) as the crosslinking agent, using a newly developed emulsification-neutralization combined method. Nuclease P1 (NP1) was immobilized onto these microspheres, the maximum activity of NP1@CSMs-GA reach to 53,859.4 U/g. The activity recovery yield reach to 75 %. Compared to the free NP1, the stability of NP1@CSMs-GA was significantly enhanced. Its v and K is 895.71 mg/(g·min) and 77.27 mg/mL respectively. This NP1@CSMs-GA was utilized in production of nucleotides through hydrolysis of RNA. In BSTR, NP1@CSMs-GA retained more than 75.1 % initial activity after 10 cycles of reuse. Moreover, in PBR, the RNA hydrolysis conversion rate maintained 81 % after 24 h of continuous operation. These results demonstrate that NP1@CSMs-GA exhibits excellent reusability and production stability in practical processes.

Enzyme catalysis is important in food processing, such as in baking, dairy, and fiber processing and beverages. A recent advancement in catalysis is the development of Pickering emulsions as enzymatic catalytic systems; however, the use of Pickering emulsions (PEs) as catalytic systems in foods remains largely underdeveloped. Challenges exist that inhibit the widespread adoption of PEs as catalytic systems in foods.

Interest in animal cell-based meat (ACBM) as an environmentally conscious replacement for livestock production has been increasing; however, a life cycle assessment (LCA) for the existing production methods of ACBM has not been conducted. Currently, ACBM products are being produced at a small scale, but ACBM companies are intending to scale-up production. Updated findings from recent technoeconomic assessments (TEAs) of ACBM were utilized to perform an LCA of near-term ACBM production.

Introduction: Chronic disease is generally known to affect dogs' quality of life (QoL) as well as being associated with increased strain on their owners. Gastrointestinal (GI) disease is a common problem in companion animal practice, yet little is known about the QoL of dogs with chronic enteropathy (CE) and how their owners and veterinarians assess it.

Methods: The aim of this study was to explore: (i) how dog owners and veterinarians observed and evaluated QoL for dogs with chronic GI disease, (ii) how having a dog with CE affected the owner's QoL, and (iii) characteristics of the communication and relationship between the dog owner and veterinarian.

Animal-based foods such as meat, dairy, and eggs contain abundant essential proteins, vitamins, and minerals that are crucial for human nutrition. Therefore, there is a worldwide growing demand for animal-based products. Since animal-based foods are vital resources of nutrients, it is essential to ensure their microbial safety which may not be ensured by traditional food preservation methods.
