The operating environment for food safety interventions in nations such as Saudi Arabia, with limited local agricultural productivity, high reliance on foreign food imports and observance of Islamic laws, is remarkably challenging for the national control and regulatory institutions, since compliance to the mandatory food safety regulations and the...
Considering population aging and the adverse health consequences older adults face due to protein malnutrition, older adults' protein intake is receiving increasing attention. Meanwhile, growing concern around the world's environmental challenges has elucidated the crucial role of dietary choices. This study gives insight into more sustainable ways...
SCOPE: Metabolites derived from individual foods found in human biofluids after consumption could provide objective measures of dietary intake. For comprehensive dietary assessment, quantification methods would need to manage the structurally diverse mixture of target metabolites present at a wide concentration range. METHODS & RESULTS: We develope...
Toxoplasma gondii is a worldwide prevalent, zoonotic parasite of major importance for public health, which can infect any warm-blooded animal species, including humans. Humans can get infected by consumption of meat from a chronically infected animal, by ingestion of sporulated oocysts (resulting from the sexual replication in felids), via contamin...
Vaccinating pigs against Salmonella Typhimurium (ST) might be a way to control ST infections at farm level and reduce human infections. Two main issues have to be addressed before such a mandatory vaccination program can be implemented: the effective reduction of attributable human incidence has to be demonstrated and all socio-economic barriers im...
Spiced beef is a representative traditional Chinese processed beef product. In order to establish quality evaluation of aroma profile, the widely accepted and characteristic volatile flavor of seven typical spiced beef was investigated using headspace solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry. A tot...

The unclear components and complex evaluation indicators affect the effectiveness of inhibition methods for warmed-over flavour (WOF). To evaluate the main components of WOF, the changes in flavour compound profiles of precooked pork after reheating were investigated quantitatively by using gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry with chr...

This paper reports on new thermal insulation packaging materials made from feathers. Clean and disinfected feathers from the poultry industry have been processed into fibres and air laid using commercial pilot-plant facilities to form non-woven feather fibre composite mats. This process can produce materials with different thickness and density by ...
