Motivations, changes and challenges of participating in food-related social innovations and their transformative potential: three cases from Berlin (Germany)
AbstractDominant agri-food systems are increasingly seen as unsustainable in terms of environmental degradation, mass production or high food waste. In an attempt to counteract these developments and foster sustainability transitions in agri-food systems, a variety of actors are engaging in socially innovative models of food production and consumption. Using a multiple case study approach, our study examines three contrasting alternative economic models in the city of Berlin: community gardens, the app Too Good To Go (TGTG), and a cooperative supermarket. Based on 15 qualitative interviews, we provide insights into their t...

SWATH-MS reveals that Bisphenol A and its analogs regulate pathways leading to disruption in Insulin signaling and fatty acid metabolism
This study has important implications in addressing health concerns related to EDCs. Given that the analogs of BPA are considered alternatives to BPA, the findings of this study suggest they are equally potent in altering fatty acid metabolism and inducing insulin resistance.PMID:38653447 | DOI:10.1016/j.fct.2024.114667 (Source: Food and Chemical Toxicology)

HacA, a key transcription factor for the unfolded protein response, is required for fungal development, aflatoxin biosynthesis and pathogenicity of Aspergillus flavus
In this study, the hacA gene in A. flavus was knockout. Results showed that the absence of hacA led to a decreased pathogenicity of the strain, as it failed to colonize intact maize kernels. This may be due to retarded vegetable growth, especially the abnormal development of swollen tips and shorter hyphal septa. Deletion of hacA also hindered conidiogenesis and sclerotial development. Notably, the mutant strain failed to produce aflatoxin B1. Moreover, compared to the wild type, the mutant strain showed increased sensitivity to ER stress inducer such as Dithiothreitol (DTT), and heat stress. It also displayed heightened s...

Dissemination of IncC plasmids in Salmonella enterica serovar Thompson recovered from seafood and human diarrheic patients in China
In conclusion, to our knowledge, it is the first report of the co-existence of blaCMY-2, qnrS, and qepA in IncC plasmids, and the conjugational transfer contributed to their dissemination in S. Thompson. These findings underline further challenges for the prevention and treatment of Enterobacteriaceae infections posed by IncC plasmids bearing blaCMY-2, qnrS, and qepA.PMID:38653121 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2024.110708 (Source: International Journal of Food Microbiology)

Aloe vera Gel –Reinforced Biodegradable Starch–PVA Blends for Sustainable Packaging of Green Chillies
The objective of the current study was to evaluate the feasibility ofAloe vera gel as a plasticizer and crosslinker in improving the properties of starch –polyvinyl alcohol blends that could find applications in packaging. The concentration ofAloe vera gel was varied (1%, 3%, 5% and 7% wt/wt) to produce SPA-1, SPA-3, SPA-5 and SPA-7 films, respectively. The plasticizing and crosslinking characteristics associated withAloe vera gel had a positive influence on the mechanical properties of the films. Addition ofAloe vera gel increased the tensile strength of films from 27.45 MPa (control) to 32.98, 32.53 and 32.32, for S...
