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, ...
Detection, fate and inactivation of pathogenic Norovirus employing settlement and UV treatment in wastewater treatment facilities.
(Elsevier, 2016-10)
It is accepted that discharged wastewaters can be a significant source of pathogenic viruses in receiving water bodies contributing to pollution and may in turn enter the human food chain and pose a risk to human health, ...
Use of Zebrafish embryo assay to evaluate toxicity and safety of bioreactor-grown exopolysaccharides and endopolysaccharides from European Ganoderma applanatum mycelium for future aquaculture applications
(MDPI, 2021-02-07)
Natural mycelial exopolysaccharide (EPS) and endopolysaccharide (ENS) extracted from
bioreactor-cultivated European Ganoderma applanatum mushrooms are of potential high commercial
value for both food and adjacent ...
Genomes of Anguillid Herpesvirus 1 strains reveal evolutionary disparities and low genetic diversity in the Genus Cyprinivirus
(MDPI, 2021-05-05)
Anguillid herpesvirus 1 (AngHV-1) is a pathogen of eels and a member of the genus
Cyprinivirus in the family Alloherpesviridae. We have compared the biological and genomic fea tures of different AngHV-1 strains, focusing ...
Food ingredients and active compounds against the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic: a comprehensive review
(MDPI, 2020)
As media reports have noted, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated market
mainstreaming of immune-boosting food bioactives, supplements, and nutraceuticals. However,
most studies reporting on the potential of bioactives ...
Comparative studies on the novel sterilisation of Irish retailed infant milk formula using electron beam and pulsed light treatments.
(IJSET, 2016)
This constitutes the first study to compare use of electron beam (EB) irradiation
and pulsed light (PL) for novel sterilisation of infant mik formula retailed in Ireland. The
microbiological quality of 60 powdered infant ...
The production of functional γ-aminobutyric acid Malaysian soy sauce koji and moromi using the trio of Aspergillus oryzae NSK, Bacillus cereus KBC, and the newly identified Tetragenococcus halophilus KBC in liquid-state fermentation
(Elsevier, 2021-12)
The anthropogenic spread of pathogens contributes to the decline of some species. However, restocking programs
implemented to counteract the decline of such populations can also contribute to the spread of pathogens, ...
Microalgae as a natural ecological bioindicator for the simple real-time monitoring of aquaculture wastewater quality including provision for assessing impact of extremes in climate variance - a comparative case study from the Republic of Ireland
(Elsevier, 2021-08-17)
Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing food producing industries globally, providing ~50% of fish for human consumption. However, the rapid growth of aquaculture presents a range of challenges including balancing ...
Disease-mitigating innovations for the pollination service industry: challenges and opportunities
(Elsevier, 2021-04)
Commercially reared bumblebees are often deployed for fruit, vegetable, and seed crop pollination. Commercial bumblebee pollination contributes significantly to economic and nutritional security, thus maintaining healthy ...
Bacterial inactivation, photoreactivation and dark repair post flow-through pulsed IV disinfection
(Elsevier, 2021-04-19)
Pulsed UV (PUV) technology is accepted commercially for disinfection within the food packaging industry, but has yet to be deployed by the water/wastewater sector. This is partly due to a lack of robust, independently ...
