Photosensitization can be an effective risk-reduction strategy against the post-baking mold spoilage of bread
Food Microbiol. 2024 Feb;117:104390. doi: 10.1016/j.fm.2023.104390. Epub 2023 Sep 21.ABSTRACTPhotosensitization was developed as a risk-reduction strategy against the contamination by environmental mold spores during the bread cooling phase. Two food-grade photosensitizers -chlorophyllin (CHL) and riboflavin (RBF), were used to evaluate the effect of visible (blue) LED illumination against three common bread spoilage molds. Aided by CHL, 405 nm LEDs inactivated Rhizopus stolonifer and Penicillium expansum by 77.4 ± 3.3% and 52.1 ± 7.3% respectively in 30 min on dichloran rose bengal chloramphenicol agar. These reductions...

Polyphenolic natural products as photosensitizers for antimicrobial photodynamic therapy: recent advances and future prospects
Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has become a potent contender in the fight against microbial infections, especially in the context of the rising antibiotic resistance crisis. Recently, there has been significant interest in polyphenolic natural products as potential photosensitizers (PSs) in aPDT, given their unique chemical structures and inherent antimicrobial properties. Polyphenolic natural products, abundant and readily obtainable from natural sources, are generally regarded as safe and highly compatible with the human body. This comprehensive review focuses on the latest developments and future implications...

Time-Resolved Concentrations of Serum Amino Acids, One-carbon Metabolites, and B-vitamin Biomarkers during the Postprandial and Fasting State: The Postprandial Metabolism in Healthy Young Adults (PoMet) study
Br J Nutr. 2023 Oct 27:1-42. doi: 10.1017/S0007114523002490. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMetabolomics has been utilized in epidemiological studies to investigate biomarkers of nutritional status and metabolism in relation to non-communicable diseases. However, little is known about the effect of prandial status on several biomarker concentrations. Therefore, the aim of this intervention study was to investigate the effect of a standardized breakfast meal followed by food abstinence for 24 h on serum concentrations of amino acids, one-carbon metabolites, and B-vitamin biomarkers. 34 healthy subjects (18 males and 16 femal...

Low micronutrient intake in nursing home residents, a cross-sectional study
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Ahead of Print. Low intake of micronutrients is associated with health-related problems in nursing home residents. As their food intake is generally low, it is expected that their micronutrient intake will be low as well. The nutrient intake of 189 residents (mean age 85.0 years (SD: 7.4)) in five different Dutch nursing homes was measured based on 3-day direct observations of intake. Micronutrient intake, without supplementation, was calculated using the Dutch food composition table, and SPADE software was used to model habitual intake. Intake was compared to the estimated av...
