[REPORT SUMMARY] Cytochemical potential of CPPs
Cytochemical studies aimed at the characterisation of dose-dependency concerning the cell activity and possible cytotoxic response of human cell culture model systems (PBL, HL-60, Caco-2, PML) to caseinophosphopeptide (CPP) preparations.
The results obtained with different cy...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Development of an enzyme immunoassay for determination of CPPs in foods and in biological fluids.
A unique competitive Enzyme Immuno Assay (EIA) with a broad specificity and a high sensitivity has been validated for detection and semi-quantification of "the whole CPPs" present in preparations obtained using different conditions of enzymatic hydrolysis.
Polyclonal antibod...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Evaluation of natural antifungal compounds in tomatoes
In addition to trans-resveratrol, the ability of other natural anti-fungal compounds to inhibit Botrytis infection has been evaluated and different methods and treatments were tested in order to enhance the endogenous concentrations of these compounds in fruits. In this direct...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Decontamination of meat and meat products using combinations of condensation at sub-atmospheric pressure and organic acids
The research carried out in this project determined the effects of rapid temperature cycles on microorganisms present on the surface of different meats (poultry with the skin on, raw lean beef and pork skin) and the synergistic effects of organic acids. It also quantified the ...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Production of high value added products such as PUFAs or feed for aquaculture by (heterotrophic) marine microorganisms
In the current research a reliable and reproducible large scale fermentation and bioprocessing concept is developed for the microbial production of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that can be used for (infant) food, aquaculture or pharmaceutical applications. In the proces...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Molecularly imprinted polymers for the analysis of food contaminants
Highly selective and robust MIPs have been developed for (Beta)-lactam antibiotics and clenbuterol. The results of the study indicates that MIPs can be used to prepare both selective and general recognition matrices for either individual analytes (e.g. penicillin) or groups of...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Database of physical properties of foods
NELFOOD database, http://www.nelfood.com , provides data on physical properties in five main categories: thermal, mechanical, sorption/diffusion, electrical and optical. The categories, thermal/sorption/diffusion, are most important for modelling the microbial environment in c...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Blends of polyvinylalcohol and functionalised polycaprolactone
In recent years our research was addressed to biodegradable polymers to be applied in agriculture as a substitution for classical non-biodegradable plastics. Starch-based blends, aliphatic polyesters, vinyl alcohol polymers are most successful examples. To apply them in agricu...

[REPORT SUMMARY] CPPs and calcium uptake
It was shown for the first time that CPPs promote the uptake of extra-cellular calcium by human intestinal HT-29 cells, a tumoral cell line that undergoes enterocytical differentiation in culture. The molecular features underlying this biological effect were explored, using th...
