title: Advances in dry hopping for industrial brewing: a review

description: Abstract highly hopped and dry hopped beer production and consumption has increased steadily for the last twenty years, following the rise of craft breweries in the United States of America and the trend they set over the world. This overuse of hops offers some environmental, technological, and economic challenges for the beer industry. Researchers have been studying several ways to make beer more ecofriendly by promoting reuse of spent hops and increasing extraction yields. Dry hopping is a size-dependent process, making it feasible for craft breweries with their small scale production, but quite a challenge for larger tanks and breweries. Based on the literature and industrial experience from brewers, the aim of this research was to analyze and discuss different dry hopping methodologies for the brewing industry and how the parameters affect the final product. In order to shed light on this trending topic and to better aid brewers in choosing the most suitable, efficient, and environmental-friendly dry hopping process for their brewery, this work approaches the main variables that promote aroma transfer from hops into beer and how to optimize it.

title: Drying and cooking effects on the final quality of pea grains (Pisum sativum L.) varieties

description: Abstract Genetic and process factors influence the final quality of dried pea seeds (Pisum sativum L.), particularly the physical properties and the proximal composition. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of air-drying temperature (45, 50, 55 and 60 °C) and cooking on physical and the proximal composition in two pea varieties (“Obonuco Andina” and “Sureña”). The physical properties and the proximal composition were determined for the best drying treatment. All pea samples were dried until a final moisture content ≤ 15% (w.b) was reached. The results showed that the drying temperature had a statistically significant effect on the final quality of both pea varieties. The treatment at 55 °C was determined to be the most suitable because it did not present any testa detachment or generate off-flavors.

title: Three DPP-IV inhibitory peptides from Antarctic krill protein hydrolysate improve glucose levels in the zebrafish model of diabetes

description: Abstract Ala-Pro (AP), Ile-Pro-Ala (IPA) and Ile-Pro-Ala-Val-Phe (IPAVF) as DPP-IV inhibitory peptides were purified from Antarctic krill protein hydrolysate (AKH). Diabetic zebrafish model was rapidly induced with combination of high glucose immersing and cholesterol diet for evaluation the three DPP-IV inhibitory peptides activity. Physiochemical indexes including DPP-IV activity, glucose, triglyceride and cholesterol; the relative gene (insa, glucagon and pck1) expressions levels were detected. The results showed that after 15 days of peptides treatment, the physiochemical index levels of peptide groups were significantly higher than that of negative control and showed dose-dependent effect. The insa gene expression level would be increased with the enhancement of peptide concentration, whereas gene expression levels of glucagon and pck1 would be decreased. These results indicated that three peptides all had hypoglycemic effects in different degree. It suggested the potential of AKH containing DPP-IV inhibitory peptides could be as functional food supplement to treat diabetes.

title: Association between XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism and esophageal cancer susceptibility in China: a meta-analysis based on 12 case-control studies

description: Abstract Many studies have analyzed the relation about xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD) Lys751Gln polymorphism on esophageal cancer risk; however, the results were inconclusive. The present study was designed to assess the relationship in China. We searched the relevant articles from the databases of PubMed, Springer Link, Ovid, Chinese Wanfang Database, CNKI and Chinese Biology Medicine up to December 2019. An OR with the corresponding 95%CI was adopted to evaluate this association. This meta-analysis included 12 studies with 4195 esophageal cancer cases and 4762 controls. Overall, a positive association between XPD Lys751Gln and esophageal cancer risk was found in all the analysis model (Gln vs. Lys, OR= 1.26, 95% CI= 1.14-1.44; Gln/Gln vs. Lys/Lys, OR= 1.73, 95% CI= 1.29-2.31; Gln/Gln vs. Lys/Lys + Asp/Asn, OR= 1.63, 95% CI= 1.22-2.18; Gln/Gln+ Asp/Asn vs. Lys/Lys, OR= 1.25, 95% CI= 1.13-1.39). Subgroup analyses by geographic area and source of controls were further conducted; there was no substantial change in subgroup analyses. Our study suggested that XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism could increase the risk of esophageal cancer in China. Further studies in other ethnic populations are wanted to confirm these conclusions.

title: Food supplier selection in the catering industry using the analytic hierarchy process

description: Abstract Choosing the right supplier is vital as it helps to achieve high-quality products at relatively lower costs on the one hand and increases profitability by increasing customer satisfaction on the other. Cost alone is not enough in the supplier selection process. Managers should also consider other criteria such as quality, reliability, crisis management, green product simultaneously. Supplier selection is a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem involving both qualitative and quantitative criteria. This study uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), which is one of the MCDM methods. The aims of this study are to determine the most essential supplier selection criteria in the catering industry and to choose the most suitable supplier. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to identify the supplier selection criteria and conducted with 30 experts. Based on the identified criteria by the experts, six experienced supply chain managers from six different catering firms were invited to complete the pair-wise comparison survey. Finally, the supplier with the highest overall score, using the seven highest-ranked criteria, have been selected from the three alternatives. This study concludes that the most critical criterion is crisis management. Cost is relatively less critical criterion in the catering industry.

title: Imaging features and clinic value of mri and ct in diagnosis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma

description: Abstract To investigate the imaging features and clinic value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). 139 RCC patients underwent MRI and CT examination before surgery, and the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive and negative predictive values of MRI and CT in diagnosing ccRCC were analyzed and compared. There were 93 true-positive, 11 false-positive, 11 false-negative and 24 true-negative in MRI screening with sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of 89.42%, 68.57%, 84.17%, 89.42% and 68.57% respectively. Whereas there were 72 true-positive, 4 false-positive, 32 false-negative and 31 true-negative in CT screening with the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of 69.23%, 88.57%, 74.10%, 94.74% and 49.21% respectively. The sensitivity and negative predictive value of MRI were better than those of CT, while the specificity of CT was better than that of MRI. MRI and CT have respective advantages in the diagnosis of ccRCC. The sensitivity and negative predictive value of MRI are superior to those of CT, while the specificity of CT is superior to that of MRI. Clinically, different examinations are selected according to different situations.

title: Therapeutic potential of hydrolysable tannin on weight management oxidative stress and reproductive health in polycystic rats

description: Abstract Phytonutrients get attention now days due to their wide application and their tendency to improve the productive and reproductive performance in humans. Hydrolysable tannin (HT) is one of these bionutrients. The present study was aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect of HT on the induced polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) in rats. Forty-five adult female rats with 4 to 5 days regular estrous cycle were selected. The PCOS was induced by a single intramuscular injection of Estradiol Valerate 4 mg/rat/kg. The rats were offered 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2% of HT/kg body weight through oral gavage for two months. The results had shown a reduction (p&lt;0.05) in average feed intake, body weight and weight gain, total oxidative stress and nutrient digestibility in PCOS rats. Similar reduction trend (p&lt;0.05) in serum luteinizing hormone and insulin was observed; while serum follicular stimulating hormone, serum prolactin and total antioxidant capacity were improved (p&lt;0.05). The ovarian histopathology showed no signs of reduction in cystic follicles while no improvement was observed in healthy follicles. The study concluded that the treatment with 1.5% level of HT had shown the best therapeutic potential for weight management, reduction of oxidative stress and improvement in reproductive health of PCOS rats.

title: Bacterial inactivation mechanism of SC-CD and TEO combinations in watermelon and melon juices

description: Abstract Inactivation mechanism of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CD) combination with Thymbra spicata essential oil (TEO) treatments on bacteria in tryptone soy broth (TSB) and juices was investigated. Salmonella Typhimurium was significantly inactivated by 3.45 and 5.55 logs after SC-CD+TEO treatment of TBS for 35 min at 7.6 and 10.13 MPa respectively. Klebsiella pneumoniae showed higher resistance to treatments than other two bacteria and Escherichia coli showed higher resistance to treatments than S. Typhimurium. Approximately 5.27, 4.68 and 3.82 logs inactivation of S. Typhimurium, E. coli and K. pneumoniae were obtained in the treatment of watermelon juice with SC-CD+TEO at 10.13 MPa after 35 min, while 6.89, 4.82 and 4.55 logs inactivated, respectively, were observed in melon juice. Research indicated that the inactivation mechanism involves inducing cell damage, increasing membrane permeability, increasing cell rupture, precipitation of cytoplasmic contents, extracting cellular substances and lysing cells. Different sensitivities of Gram-negative bacteria to the treatments may be attributed to the differences in the cell structure, compositions of membrane and presence of capsule, pressure level and exposure time. pH, total soluble solid and browning degree of juice did not significantly change after treatments and during 7 days of storage.
