Several warm and hot springs exist all over the world whose microbial diversity and
physicochemical properties have been explored using both conventional and metagenomic
methods to reveal biotechnologically relevant ...
Indiscriminate use of antibiotics in poultry production is among the factors responsible for antibiotic
resistance by microorganisms. Large amounts of poultry droppings are generated annually which
are used in fish feeding ...
Schools’ Food Service Establishments (FSEs) have been incriminated in numerous
foodborne diseases outbreaks globally and have been linked to the environment and food
handling procedures in the establishments. Despite ...
The potential of L-asparaginase to inhibit acrylamide formation (a carcinogenic compound
from fried starchy foods) and the growth of cancer cells have attracted scientific attention in
biomedical fields. Utilisation of ...
Generation of bioethanol from food crops is a well-established industrial process. However, this poses serious challenge to global food security. Lignocellulosic substrates are possible alternatives for production of ...
Complementary foods are used for transition of infants from a mother’s breast-milk preparatory to regular foods. Many food blends including costly foreign and locallyproduced ones have been adopted for weaning infants. ...
Antimicrobial Resistance (AR) in bacteria is currently one of the greatest threats to global health. Antimicrobial resistance research has primarily focused on hospitals, but recent information points to the environment ...
Sugarcane Bagasse (SB) is a major waste of the sugar industry and constitutes disposal
problem in the environment. The bagasse is known to contain cellulose and hemicellulose
which can be converted to bioethanol. ...
Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) and yeasts are exposed to constant physical and chemical fluctuations in food matrix during fermentation, resulting in stresswhich often reduce the quality of food products. Microorganisms are ...
Listeriosis is caused by eating foods contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. Antibiotic resistance in Listeria monocytogenes makes the treatment of listeriosis difficult hence, the need to explore other alternatives ...
Various groups of microorganisms are associated with traditional apple cider production. These include molds, yeasts and bacteria whose incidental occurrence often leads to inconsistency in the products’ quality. The ...
Cellulolytic enzyme is a major renewable source of production of cellulase with high potential for degradation of lignocellulosic waste materials into useful end-products. Industrial processes involved in recycling ...
