Further comments on the single-cell protein ingredient manufactured from a non-GMO Corynebacterium glutamicum as an alternative protein nutrition

Sehyeon Park, Seungki Lee, Taeyeon Kim, Ahyoung Choi, Soyeon Lee, Pil Kim

In the previous study, Park et al. reported the efficacy of a single-cell protein manufactured from a growth-accelerated high-vital Corynebacterium glutamicum strain and potential strain selection strategy for development of non-GMO industrial strains harboring enriched target nutritional component, named as growth?acceleration?targeted evolution (G.A.T.E.) strategy [1].

Understanding microbial influence on mental health

Zachary S. Vrobel, Shasha Zheng

The past decade in science has seen an influx of new research articles showing the relationship between the human gut microbiome and its direct or indirect effect on the Central Nervous System (CNS). Much of the current research points to microbial therapy as a potential treatment option for many mental health disorders and conditions.

Influence of milk containing water, penicillin and ammonium chloride on the processing properties and chemical composition of yoghurt and Sudanese white cheese

Tayseer, A. S. Idrees, Ibtisam, E. M. El Zubeir

Yoghurt and cheeses are important rich food for the human, however they might be subjected to adulteration, which alter their quality. This study investigated the effect of milk adulteration on the processing properties of yoghurt and Sudanese white cheese and their chemical composition. Cheese and yoghurt were made from milk with known amounts of added water, penicillin, and ammonium chloride; separately.

Glucan and Vitamin D supplementation showed synergy in improvements of the immune response against an influenza challenge in mice

Jana Vetvickova, Vaclav Vetvicka

Influenza infection remains a serious health problem throughout the world. Unfortunately, current medicine offers no real treatment or protection, moving our attention to alternative options. In this study we aimed to evaluate the possible effects of a combination of glucan and vitamin C on immunosuppression caused by influenza infection.

Food-to-mealtime associations influence food selection in a UK-based sample

McLeod CJ, James LJ, Witcomb GL

Humans tend to consume food throughout the day in a regular pattern [1]. This routinised behaviour reflects primal foraging strategies of repeating tried and tested fruitful paths to obtain food, without predation or starvation [2]. Modern-day food-related routines are still unpinned by these ancestral behaviours but are shaped by social, environmental and culture factors that influence preferences and beliefs about food [3,4].

Current understanding of gender dimorphism regarding type 2 diabetes

Jennifer R. Clark, Guoxun Chen

Today, both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus affect 33.3 million people in the United States and nearly 500 million adults worldwide, and there is concern that this number may increase steadily in the future. Previous studies have linked the development of type 2 diabetes to multiple lifestyle factors, including physical activity level and diet, and biological characteristics, such as body composition, age, and race; however, current research suggests that gender may also have an impact on one’s risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Variations in type 2 diabetes diagnosis, prevalence, and progression have been found between males and females.

High exposure to pollution requires nutritional improvements in children

Vladimir Svozil, Josef Richter, Vaclav Vetvicka

Sickness rates of children living in regions with extreme environmental pollution resulted in our study evaluating effects of 30-day supplementation with two different food supplements containing nucleotides, amino acids and polypeptides or β-glucan. This study was based on published studies evaluating these effects on children with chronic respiratory problems transported to the region without environmental pollution and into the medical program complemented with climatotherapy, speleotherapy, higher motion activity, rehabilitation, and a special nutritional program.
