Profilin family members are highly conserved food allergens that can cause widespread cross-allergic reactions. Our previous research has demonstrated that the covalent conjunction with quercetin can disrupt the conformational epitopes of a profilin allergen, Bra c p. In this study, we further...

Surface contamination by pathogenic and deteriorating microorganisms is a constant concern in the food industry. Therefore, in this study we evaluated the antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), produced using the essential oil of Lippia origanoides Kunth and ethanolic extract of ...

The domestic and international market is increasingly seeking for foods with reduced chemical additives. The viability using a versatile product as mechanically separate meat (CMS) to produce safety food is necessary to expand the product market. Hansenulawingei strain was selected, a yeast known...

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Jianpi Yangzheng decoction (JPYZ) possesses a potential anti-tumor activity in gastric cancer. However, potential effect of JPYZ on regulating tumor-associated macrophage (TAM)-derived exosomes to affect gastric cancer is still unclear. Aim of study: We aimed to...

The study assessed the role of equids at slaughter as faecal carriers of Salmonella enterica and the occurrence of contaminated equid carcasses during the slaughter process in Northern Italy (Emilia-Romagna Region). From June to November 2021, 152 equids (146 horses, 5 donkeys and 1 mule) were...

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is a major cause of foodborne illness, ranging from mild diarrhea to permanent kidney failure. This study summarizes the results of four surveys performed at different time periods, which investigated the occurrence and characteristics of STEC in beef,...

Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by Toxoplasma gondii, the transmission of which has usually been attributed to ingestion of undercooked or raw meat. Epidemiological studies also mention cured meat products as a potential risk factor for acquiring toxoplasmosis. With the aim of contributing to...

Campylobacter is an important foodborne pathogen as it is associated with significant disease burden across Europe. Among various sources, Campylobacter infections in humans are often related to the consumption of undercooked poultry meat or improper handling of poultry meat. Many European...

Nocardia seriolae is a pathogenic bacterium that commonly infects largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), causing chronic wasting disease characterized by multiple nodules. The mechanism by which Vitamin D3 (VD3) can resist Nocardia seriolae (N. seriolae)infection is unknown, although VD3 has been ...
