PRACTICAL APPLICATION It is a challenge to produce whey protein isolate (WPI) beverages with high stability, good transparency, and smooth mouthfeel. The polysaccharide (PS)-protein complex might help the food industry overcome these obstacles. We have demonstrated that soybean soluble polysaccharide (SSPS), at [SSPS][acWPI] ratios of 12 to 130, can significantly improve the colloidal stability of the acidified whey protein beverages. This SSPS-whey protein system could be used as a stable beverage base for a variety of beverages. © 2020 Institute of Food Technologists®.Goldenberry is a wild fruit that has been widely used for centuries, mainly in folk medicine. While most studies on goldenberry had focused on the fruit, recent research developments are all related to its byproducts, which had been considered as waste until date. The main objective of our study was to systematize the published information regarding the composition of goldenberry byproducts (calyces, leaves, seeds, and pomace) and their effects on biological systems. Goldenberry byproducts contain minerals, amino acids, withanolides, flavonoids, and essential fatty acids, thus representing good sources of these compounds. Some of their major biological effects include anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antidiabetic, and antiproliferative effects. Information regarding their toxicity has also been presented here. To determine the optimal dosage, further safety studies would be recommended to ensure the best health benefit of these compounds. Available evidence has collectively demonstrated the nutritional value of different byproducts of goldenberry, suggesting them as potential candidates for use in the cosmetic industry, in the preparation of functional foods, and in phytomedicine for the prevention and adjuvant treatment of some diseases.

(2019) proposed that rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations "inhibit malate production in chloroplasts and thus impede assimilation of nitrate into protein of C3 plants, a phenomenon that will strongly influence primary productivity and food security under the environmental conditions anticipated during the next few decades". Previously we argued that the weight of evidence in the literature indicated that elevated atmospheric [CO2 ] does not inhibit NO3 - assimilation in C3 plants (Andrews et al. 2019). New data for common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and wheat (Triticum aestivum) were presented that supported this view and indicated that the effects of elevated atmospheric [CO2 ] on nitrogen (N) assimilation and growth of C3 vascular plants were similar regardless of the form of N assimilated. Bloom et al. (2019) strongly criticised the arguments presented in Andrews et al. (2019). Here we respond to these criticisms and again conclude that the available data indicate that elevated atmospheric [CO2 ] does not inhibit NO3 - assimilation of C3 plants. Measurement of the partitioning of NO3 - assimilation between root and shoot of C3 species under different NO3 - supply, at ambient and elevated CO2 would determine if their NO3 - assimilation is inhibited in shoots but enhanced in roots at elevated atmospheric CO2 .

PRI-724 This sequential explanatory study aimed to determine if dental hygiene students' self-assessment using the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) tool reduced the risk of MSD development and explore students' experiences using a risk tool. METHODS Dental hygiene students (n = 21) in the last 2 of 4 sequential clinical semesters completed self-assessment using the RULA, employing photographs ta
