Background Bread is one of the most widely consumed staple foods in Burkina Faso and is generally considered a safe product due to the high temperatures applied during baking. However, inadequate hygiene practices during production and...
Purpose of review This review examines why the incorporation of plant proteins into meat products is frequently associated with technological and structural limitations. It aims to determine whether these constraints arise from ingredient selection,...
Consumers exhibit a persistent preference for fresh geographical indication (GI) agricultural products from distant origins. However, the challenges of preservation and the risk of spoilage during long-distance transportation not only increase...
Parvalbumin is a prominent fish allergen with notable heat stability in structural and allergenic properties. However, high temperatures reduce immunoglobulin E (IgE) reactivity, likely due to the destruction of IgE-binding epitopes via heat-induced...
Background Elemental impurities in pharmaceutical products present significant risks to patient safety due to their potential toxicity. These impurities may arise from various sources, including raw materials used in the process, manufacturing...
In response to the growing market for alternative high-protein foods, the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) has produced a series of five new certified reference materials (CRMs) including insect-based (black soldier fly larvae, cricket...
Introduction Dietary recommendations for athletes vary according to the type of sport, and the use of uniform assessment criteria may not accurately capture diet quality of athletes from different sport disciplines and weight categories. For example,...
Accurate measurement of therapeutic protein concentration is critical for ensuring manufacturing consistency. Synonymous gene recoding is often used to improve protein yield, including for coagulation Factor IX (FIX), used to treat Hemophilia B....
It has been shown that cold long-term storage of Entrophospora etunicatainoculum may decrease the concentration of spore proteins. However, no studies have been carried out to understand how long-term storage under cold conditions may interfere...
Background Medication mix-ups and medication errors are among the key risks in emergency care. Errors rarely arise from individual failure alone, but are often caused by a combination of time pressure, interruptions, look-alike/sound-alike (LASA)...
The updated version of ISO 7218:2024, titled “Microbiology of the food chain—General requirements and guidance for microbiological examinations”, serves as a significant horizontal standard that underpins microbiological testing throughout the food...
Skin yellowness is a predominant age-related concern, particularly among North Asian populations, and is suspected to be associated protein carbonylation. However, the precise chemical mechanisms linking skin yellowness and protein carbonylation...
Pearl millet (PM) is a nutritionally rich and climate-resilient cereal; however, the poor shelf life of its flour due to rancidity remains a major constraint to its wider utilization. This study compared four traditional PM landraces with the...
The influence of substituting semolina with Pangas fish protein concentrate (FPC) (3–15%) on the technological quality and nutritional value of the developed pasta was examined. Results showed that increasing FPC from 3% to 15% significantly...
Purpose Nitrosamine impurities are highly potent genotoxic contaminants that present significant safety concerns in pharmaceutical products, necessitating sensitive, robust, and environmentally sustainable analytical methods for their trace-level...
Foodborne pathogens, including Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella, remain leading causes of foodborne illness worldwide, underscoring the urgent need for rapid detection strategies. Herein, we assessed the feasibility of integrating membrane...
The mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (MALT1) is a central regulator of inflammatory signaling downstream of immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif-containing receptors and G protein-coupled receptors...
Accreditation and Quality Assurance (Accred. Qual. Assur.; "ACQUAL") publishes conceptual and practice-oriented articles on all aspects relevant to...
Journal
Plant Foods for Human Nutrition (previously Qualitas Plantarum) is an international journal that publishes original research, critical reviews and...
Submitted manuscripts should fall within one of the journal’s designated subject areas (sections). Click hereto see the detailed information...
