A review paper published in the journal Foods describes a study that provides an overview of studies on minimally processed vegetables (MPVs), with a particular focus on the Brazilian market. Data is presented on hygiene indicators and pathogenic microorganisms, especially Escherichia coli (the main indicator of fecal contamination), Salmonella spp., and Listeria monocytogenes, with prevalence rates ranging from 0.7 per cent to 100 per cent, 0.6 per cent to 26.7 per cent, and 0.2 per cent to [...]

Washington DC [US], July 22 (ANI): A tremendous amount of plastic has accumulated in landfills and the ocean as petroleum-derived packaging materials degrade slowly and are rarely recycled . To address this issue and meet the growing demand for products that are safe for human health and the environment, the food industry is investing in the development of more sustainable packaging alternatives that preserve nutritional quality as well as organoleptic traits such as colour, taste, smell, [...]

An electrochemical sensor that can identify Parkinson's disease at various stages has been created by researchers at the Federal University of So Carlos (UFSCar) and the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in Brazil. The gadget was created using a standard 3D printer and showed early disease detection capabilities, serving as a model for the detection of other diseases, according to the study. Findings in the journal published in the journal Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical. "The [...]

WASHINGTON: A study shows how SARS-CoV-2 infects brain cells called astrocytes, causing structural changes in the brain. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 can cause brain alterations and neurocognitive dysfunction, particularly in long Covid-19 syndrome, but the underlying mechanisms are elusive. Daniel Martins-de-Souza and colleagues used MRI to compare brain structure in 81 study participants recovering from a mild Covid-19 infection and 81 healthy individuals. The authors found that the former [...]

According to new research, scientists have discovered a new technique of converting methane gas into methanol using light and dispersed transition metals such as copper. As per a study published in Chemical Communications, the reaction was the best obtained to date for the conversion of methane gas into liquid fuel under ambient conditions of temperature and pressure (25 °C and 1 bar respectively). The term bar as a unit of pressure derives from the Greek word for weight [...]

An article published in the journal 'Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology' describes a study conducted by researchers at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and the University of So Paulo (USP) in Brazil that demonstrates how a human protein interacts with a SARS-CoV-2 protein, as well as one of the ways the virus that causes COVID-19 recruits cells to replicate. In laboratory tests, the researchers used a drug to inhibit the interaction between the molecules, [...]

Researchers at the University of Sao Paulo have calculated the impact of a dolescents consuming ultra-processed foods on the risk of obesity. The findings of the study were published in the journal, 'Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics'. There are 3,587 adolescents aged 12-19 who took part in the 2011-16 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). They divided participants in the study into three groups according to the amount of ultra-processed foods [...]

A recent study led by a team of international researchers revealed that the dangerous combination of weak muscles and abdominal fat can lead to a significant loss of gait speed in older people. Older people with abdominal fat, weak muscles have a risk of developing mobility problems, according to a recent study led by a team of international researchers. The findings of the study published in the journal 'Age and Ageing', was conducted by researchers at the Federal [...]
