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, ...
Performance of mycelial biomass and exopolysacccharide from Malaysian Ganoderma lucidum for the fungivore red hybrid Tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) in Zebrafish embyro.
(Elsevier, 2020-07)
Natural mycelial biomass (MB) and extracted exopolysaccharide (EPS) from the pre-grown Malaysian Ganoderma lucidum mushroom are both considered as high-end materials due to their high commercial value in the aquaculture ...
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 ...
Synchronizing use of sophisticated wet-laboratory and in-field handheld technologies for real-time monitoring of key microalgae, bacteria and physicochemical parameters influencing efficacy of water quality in a freshwater aquaculture recirculation system: A case study from the Republic of Ireland.
(Elsevier, 2020-04-16)
There has been growing interest in exploiting microalgae as a natural process for low cost wastewater treatment and for water quality control and remediation in aquaculture. This constitutes the first study to report on a ...
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 ...
Potential use of peatlands as future locations for the sustainable intensification of freshwater aquaculture production - a case study from the Republic of Ireland
(Elsevier, 2020-03-01)
There has been an increasing interest in enhancing freshwater aquaculture processes without hindering the progress of the Water Framework Directive. Bord Iascaigh Mhara (Ireland’s national seafood development organisation), ...
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 ...
