Pulsed ultraviolet-light technology and ecoinnovations for safeguarding consumer health and fragile seafood industry from norovirus outbreaks
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
Contamination of water and food are responsible by many outbreaks and deaths worldwide, caused by failures in production, ineffective disinfection techniques, proximity to sources of contamination, and human intervention ...
β-glucan metabolic and immunomodulatory properties and potential for clinical application
(MDPI, 2020-12-10)
β-glucans are complex polysaccharides that are found in several plants and foods, including mushrooms. β-glucans display an array of potentially therapeutic properties. β-glucans have metabolic and gastro-intestinal effects, ...
β-Glucan
(MDPI, 2021)
β-glucans are a key active ingredient in mushrooms and are also found in oats, barley, yeast, bacteria and algae. In microbial sources, they are a structural component and in grain sources, they are found in the endospermic ...
