Book Emerging Dairy Processing Technologies

Download or read book Emerging Dairy Processing Technologies written by Nivedita Datta and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluid milk processing is energy intensive, with high financial and energy costs found all along the production line and supply chain. Worldwide, the dairy industry has set a goal of reducing GHG emissions and other environmental impacts associated with milk processing. Although the major GHG emissions associated with milk production occur on the farm, most energy usage associated with milk processing occurs at the milk processing plant and afterwards, during refrigerated storage (a key requirement for the transportation, retail and consumption of most milk products). Sustainable alternatives and designs for the dairy processing plants of the future are now being actively sought by the global dairy industry, as it seeks to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and comply with its corporate social responsibilities. Emerging Dairy Processing Technologies: Opportunities for the Dairy Industry presents the state of the art research and technologies that have been proposed as sustainable replacements for high temperature-short time (HTST) and ultra-high temperature (UHT) pasteurization, with potentially lower energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions. These technologies include pulsed electric fields, high hydrostatic pressure, high pressure homogenization, ohmic and microwave heating, microfiltration, pulsed light, UV light processing, and carbon dioxide processing. The use of bacteriocins, which have the potential to improve the efficiency of the processing technologies, is discussed, and information on organic and pasture milk, which consumers perceive as sustainable alternatives to conventional milk, is also provided. This book brings together all the available information on alternative milk processing techniques and their impact on the physical and functional properties of milk, written by researchers who have developed a body of work in each of the technologies. This book is aimed at dairy scientists and technologists who may be working in dairy companies or academia. It will also be highly relevant to food processing experts working with dairy ingredients, as well as university departments, research centres and graduate students.

Book New Insights   Updates on The Molecular Epidemiology and Antimicrobial Resistance of MRSA in Humans in the Whole Genome Sequencing Era

Download or read book New Insights Updates on The Molecular Epidemiology and Antimicrobial Resistance of MRSA in Humans in the Whole Genome Sequencing Era written by David Coleman and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have been a major cause of healthcare-associated (HA) infection globally for several decades. During this time many distinct clones have emerged independently around the world, some of which have achieved pandemic status. More recently, community-associated (CA) and livestock-associated MRSA clones have also emerged, some of which have become established in hospitals and other healthcare facilities, and sometimes have displaced previously predominant HA clones. Importantly, MRSA can frequently exhibit resistance to a wide range of clinically relevant antibiotics, which limits treatment options and complicates patient management and outcomes. Investigating routes of transmission and spread of MRSA in healthcare facilities have conventionally been undertaken by combining available epidemiological information with data from DNA-based typing systems such as pulse-field gel electrophoresis typing, spa typing, multilocus sequence typing, and more recently, DNA microarray profiling. However, these approaches can frequently lack the discriminatory ability to differentiate between MRSA isolates in healthcare environments where a relatively small number of clones may predominate. The advent of high-throughput whole genome sequencing (WGS) over the last decade with the development of affordable, easy-to-use benchtop DNA sequencing platforms, associated sequencing chemistry and bioinformatics tools, has revolutionized studies of MRSA epidemiology and evolution. The significantly enhanced discriminatory power and resolution afforded by WGS has also provided hitherto unimaginable insights into the origins, emergence and factors that drive the evolution of specific MRSA clones. Furthermore, WGS has highlighted the very significant contributions of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) encoding virulence factors and resistance genes from coagulase-negative staphylococcal (CoNS) species to the emergence and evolution of MRSA. This Research Topic brings together a collection of original research articles and up-to-date reviews that highlight the significant impact WGS is having on our understanding of the epidemiology and routes of transmission of HA- and CA-MRSA in humans and the phylogenetics and evolution of specific MRSA clones. The Research Topic also highlights the impact that WGS is having on our understanding of antimicrobial resistance in MRSA by acquisition of MGEs and the role of specific CoNS species in the origins and evolution of particular MGEs that can promote the survival of MRSA following acquisition. Finally, the Research Topic highlights the immense potential impact of WGS technology in surveillance, rapid pathogen detection, identification of virulence factor profiles and antibiotic resistance genotypes, possibly from clinical samples directly.

Book The Use of Drugs in Food Animals

Download or read book The Use of Drugs in Food Animals written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-01-12 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of drugs in food animal production has resulted in benefits throughout the food industry; however, their use has also raised public health safety concerns. The Use of Drugs in Food Animals provides an overview of why and how drugs are used in the major food-producing animal industriesâ€"poultry, dairy, beef, swine, and aquaculture. The volume discusses the prevalence of human pathogens in foods of animal origin. It also addresses the transfer of resistance in animal microbes to human pathogens and the resulting risk of human disease. The committee offers analysis and insight into these areas: Monitoring of drug residues. The book provides a brief overview of how the FDA and USDA monitor drug residues in foods of animal origin and describes quality assurance programs initiated by the poultry, dairy, beef, and swine industries. Antibiotic resistance. The committee reports what is known about this controversial problem and its potential effect on human health. The volume also looks at how drug use may be minimized with new approaches in genetics, nutrition, and animal management.
