In the most parsimonious CM[T][pH][aw] meta-regression model, whereby the variability due to type of broth was extracted in a nested random-effects structure, the optimum growth rate μopt of L. monocytogenes was found to be lower when measured as CFU (0.947 log CFU/h; SE = 0.094 log CFU/h) than when measured as OD (1.289 log CFU/h; SE = 0.092 log CFU/h). Such a model produced the following cardinal estimates Tmin = -1.273 °C (SE = 0.179 °C), Topt = 37.26 °C (SE = 0.688 °C), Tmax = 45.12 °C (SE = 0.013 °C), pHmin = 4.303 (SE = 0.014), pHopt = 7.085 (SE = 0.080), pHmax = 9.483 (SE = 0.080), awmin = 0.894 (SE = 0.002) and awopt = 0.995 (SE = 0.001). Integrating the outcomes from numerous L. monocytogenes growth experiments, this meta-analysis has estimated pooled cardinal parameters that can be used as reference values in quantitative risk assessment studies.Human gut microbiota (HGM) is a microbial complex where dynamic mutualistic interactions related to digestion and absorption of dietary components take place. selleck compound The consumption of specific food ingredients, such as prebiotics and dietary fibers, constituted mainly by carbohydrates polymers, can modulate the HGM composition and metabolism serving as a fermentable substrate to produce bacterial metabolites with beneficial effects on host health. Especially, bacterial short-chain fatty acids, tryptophan and organic acids have shown positive effects on pathogenic bacteria control, mineral absorption, weight control and obesity, immune response homeostasis, gut barrier improvement, brain modulation and anticancer activity. Despite the fact that these effects vary between individuals due to personal HGM richness, the information presented in this review contributes to understanding the effects of prebiotics and dietary fibers consumption on the generation of HGM metabolites and the mechanisms by which these metabolites interact with host cells improving host health.In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, the commercial restaurant sector is struggling to organize itself. Resilience is crucial for a system to be able to respond adequately to events of this magnitude, and is aimed at the recovery and adaptation of the concerned sector in view of the adversities. In the commercial restaurant sector, resilience efforts are primarily intended to protect the health of both those who consume food and those who produce it. Amid the creative initiatives of individuals within their workplaces, restaurants, even unconsciously, seek to build resilience in the pandemic by applying the food safety practices recommended by the sanitary legislation and remaining economically active. Targeting public health preparedness, in this letter, we present an overview of the stages of resilience and their interaction with the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of commercial restaurants.This work investigated the effects of different thermal temperatures (84 °C for 35 min, 95 °C for 30 min, and 121 °C for 20 min) on the shelf life and microbial diversity of Dezhou-braised chicken. During refrigerated storage at 4 °C, the increase rate of total viable counts, pH and TVB-N value, was lower in 95 °C-treated and 121 °C-sterilized groups, when compared with 84 °C-treated group. Electronic nose revealed that the fresh odor of Dezhou-braised chicken treated by 84 °C and 95 °C could be maintained during storage. Additionally, 95 °C contributed to the maintenance of good texture of chicken. High throughput sequencing showed that Bacillus and Clostridium were only very active in 84 °C-treated samples, but not in 95 °C-treated and 121 °C-sterilized samples. Taken together, 95 °C can be developed as one potential thermal treatment temperature for Dezhou-braised chicken, due to its positive effects on maintaining fresh odor and texture together with extending shelf life while also protecting food safety.This research approaches the utilization of brewery waste yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a vehicle for
