Transfer rates of Salmonella Typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, and a human norovirus surrogate impacted by macronutrient composition of food inks in 3D food printing systems
This study aimed to determine if the macromolecular composition of food inks would impact the transfer rate of foodborne pathogens from the stainless steel food ink capsule to the 3D printed food. Salmonella Typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, and a human norovirus surrogate, Tulane virus (TuV), were inoculated onto the interior surface of stainless steel food ink capsules and dried for 30 min. Subsequently, 100 g of one of the following prepared food inks was extruded: (1) pure butter, (2) a powdered sugar solution, (3) a protein powder solution, and (4) a 1:1:1 ratio of all three macromolecules. Pathogen enumeration was...

Toxicological Evaluation of Protein Powder Derived from Cupriavidus necator
AbstractMicroorganisms have the potential to produce nutrient-rich products that can be consumed as food or feed. The protein-rich powder derived from heat-treatment of the whole cell biomass of polyhydroxybutyrate deficientCupriavidus necator, a metabolically versatile organism that uses elements found in the air, is an example of such a product. To assess the safety of the protein powder for use as a nutritional ingredient in human food, in accordance with internationally accepted standards, its genotoxic potential and repeated-dose oral toxicity were investigated. A bacterial reverse mutation test, an in vitro mammalian...

Use of Legal Appearance- and Performance-Enhancing Drugs and  Substances: Findings from the Canadian Study of Adolescent Health Behaviors
CONCLUSIONS: This study is the first to document legal APEDS use among a sample of Canadian adolescents and young adults, providing important implications for health care and policymaking professionals. Further research is needed to gain greater insight into APEDS use among Canadian young people.PMID:36576273 | DOI:10.1080/10826084.2022.2161318 (Source: Substance Use and Misuse)

An overview of walnuts application as a plant-based
The plant-based refers to plant-based raw materials or products that are available as the source of protein and fat. Utilization and development of walnuts as a plant-based, resulting in a high-quality protein-rich walnut plant-based product: walnut protein powder and walnut peptides. Progress in research on the application of walnuts as a plant-based has been advanced, solving the problem of wasted resources and environmental pollution caused by the fact that walnut residue, a product of walnuts after oil extraction, is often thrown away as waste, or becomes animal feed or compost. This paper reviews and summarizes the re...

Performance of Manufacturer Cleaning Recommendations Applied to 3D Food Ink Capsules for the Control of a Human Norovirus Surrogate
This study aimed to determine if manufacturer cleaning recommendations for food ink capsules utilized in 3D food printers are adequate to control human norovirus (HuNoV). A HuNoV surrogate, Tulane virus (TuV; ~  6 log10 PFU/mL), was inoculated onto the interior surface of stainless steel food ink capsules. Capsules were either unsoiled or soiled with one of the following: butter, protein powder solution, powdered sugar solution, or a mixture containing all three food components. The capsules were allowed to dry and then one of three hygienic protocols was applied: manual washing (MW), a dishwasher speed cycle (DSC), or a...

Sustainable Wheat Protein Biofoams: Dry Upscalable Extrusion at Low Temperature
Biomacromolecules. 2022 Nov 8. doi: 10.1021/acs.biomac.2c00953. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGlycerol-plasticized wheat gluten was explored for producing soft high-density biofoams using dry upscalable extrusion (avoiding purposely added water). The largest pore size was obtained when using the food grade ammonium bicarbonate (ABC) as blowing agent, also resulting in the highest saline liquid uptake. Foams were, however, also obtained without adding a blowing agent, possibly due to a rapid moisture uptake by the dried protein powder when fed to the extruder. ABC's low decomposition temperature enabled extrusion of the mat...
