Beers and other low pH beverages are often stabilised by pasteurisation. There is a lack of guidance as to how many pasteurisation units are required for effective treatment of novel products so as to avoid over-pasteurisation. Yeast are common spoilers of such beverages and some species can...

Egg yolk (EY) is an excellent supplement for aquatic animals and has good technofunctionality. Ascorbic acid (AA) is a potent bioactive substance and is essentially added to shrimp feed; however, it is drastically lost in both feed processing and in rearing environments. In this study, AA was...

The production of clothing in recent years is mainly based on synthetic materials. Synthetics such as polyacrylonitrile fiber (PAN) significantly reduce the costs of clothing production. PAN fiber requires considerably more water than natural fibers in the treatment process, which has a negative...

The Droughtmaster is a tropical breed of beef cattle developed in North Queensland that exhibits a combination of heat resistance and parasitic resistance from long-term artificial selection. Therefore, we used next-generation sequencing technology to screen the chromosomal regions and genes...

In this study, we show that phosphate decreases the spore heat resistance by accelerating the rate of loss of cations from spores. Heat resistance of spores of Geobacillus stearothermophilus A1, D1, P3 and ATCC 12980 were determined in distilled water containing varying concentrations (0.1, 1 and...

Saccharomyces boulardii as the probiotic yeast was widely used in the pharmaceutical, feed and food industries. The influence of skim milk, gelatin, and carbohydrates on the heat resistance of S. boulardii is explored in the article. Response surface methodology was effectively applied to optimize...

Salmonella is the pathogen mostly associated with feed and dry food safety incidents and is a cause of many foodborne outbreaks. In most feed mills conditioning and retentioning systems are installed to improve the pelleting process but also as a kill-step to reduce the microbial load of the feed...

Besides classical semen parameters, semen stress tests (SSTs) are helpful tools to assess the fertilizing capacity of sperm. However, valid studies on SSTs in relation to fertility are rare because several corrections of common fertility parameters for female and male effects are required....

Bovine leukocyte antigen, class II, DO beta (BoLA-DOB) is related to antigen presentation, which can triggered by multicul factors. And the condition of immune function determines how much cattle load to heat stress. To evaluate the relationship between heat-resistance and single nucleotide...

Polymorphisms in the 5' regulatory and translated regions of a heat shock protein 70 kDa protein -A1 (HSP70A1A) are observed as the responsible for cellular protection against heat stress and associated with heat tolerance in dairy cows. The present study was conducted to determine the genetic...
