The global trend is to minimize losses by using by-products from slaughterhouses as part of sustainable food production, both for human and animal consumption. Another growing trend is the development of pet feed with properties beneficial to the consumer's health. Another trend is the development of feeds with beneficial properties for the health of animals. Thus, the objective of this study was to use mechanically separated pork meat and by-products (trachea) to produce a pet snack containing the encapsulated probiotic yeast Saccharomyces boulardii. The experimental design followed in three main stages: 1) development of a pet pork snack (trachea snack); 2) microencapsulation of the probiotic and insertion in the pet snack; 3) Shelf life evaluation and palatability of the pet snack. S. boulardii was microencapsulated by extrusion technique and remained viable after 120 days of shelf life. The acceptability index of the probiotic pet snack was 77.8%.  We concluded that S. boulardii provides beneficial probiotics characteristics to pet snack whose composition has high levels of protein (57.50%). Thus, the novel pet product has a good appeal to the functional products market.

The effect of adding Saccharomyces boullardii in soya yoghurt was studied. The control was made with soya milk and traditional starter culture (Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus) while the other three treatments were made by adding 1%, 2%, 3% of S. boulardii with traditional yoghurt starter. Proximate composition of all yoghurt treatments were determined after fermentation time. Shelf-life evaluation of yoghurt treatment were observed during the storage time. During the proximate composition evaluation, treatment with 3% S. boulardii had highest moisture and protein content at 83.43±0.03 and 92±0.3 but least ash and carbohydrate content at 1.2±0.18 and 4.27±0.3. During shelf-life evaluation, titratable acidity and syneresis values of yoghurt with S. boulardii were slightly increased while pH and water holding capacity decreased compared with control yoghurt. After 21 days, S. boulardii counts were 5.89, 6.07 and 6.03 log.cfu/ml for yoghurt with 2% and 3% S. boulardii respectively whereas L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilius of yoghurt with 3% S. boulardii were 7.45 and 8.38 log.cfu/ml respectively. The addition of S. boulardii improved the survivability of the bacteria starter culture.

Tendencies in food and feed industries deal with a permanent need to develop innovative products, tailored to consumer demands and, in the near future, to scarcity of food resources. Sustainable food production and food products as health and wellness promoters, and the use of alternative ingredients or by-products in designed thought food or feed formulations following circular economy principles, are hot topics that act as driving forces for innovation. This special issue offers a comprehensive forum for exchanging novel research ideas or empirical practices covering discussions from healthy foodstuffs enriched with functional ingredients, with special emphasis on those targets for populations with specific requirements, to consumer attitudes towards new ingredients and end products.

Background: Yeasts play diverse roles in human life. Since ancient times, these micro organisms have been used to produce food products and beverages including bread and beer. Nowadays, the biotechnological products of yeast are some of the main components of commercial products. Objective: Some species of yeast such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces boulardii are recognized as probiotic yeast with extensive applications in the food and drug industries. However, certain species like Kluyveromyces marxianus are still not recognized as probiotic micro organisms despite their widespread industrial usage. In this study, the application of K. marxianus in preparing food and the medicinal product was reviewed in terms of its beneficial or harmful effects. Methods: Pub Med, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Science Direct databases were searched by using “Probiotics”, “Yeast”, and “Kluyveromyces marxianus”. Results: The findings suggest that K. marxianus can be recognized as a probiotic yeast species. Conclusion: It can be concluded that K. marxianus may be considered as a probiotic micro organism with a variety of commercial and medical applications.

This article addresses three research questions: How does climate change impact food production? What are the governance challenges associated with managing such impacts? What are the conditions for future success in managing the impacts of climate change on food production? To answer these questions, the researcher undertook a document review and analysis to address these various aspects with a major focus on East Africa. The study finds that climate change affects food production largely through its physical impacts on precipitation and increased the frequency of extreme weather events. Within a context of weak governance; climate change further challenges governance institutional structures and mechanisms. The study concludes that specific aspects of the prevailing climate change governance regime require major reforms (particularly the role of the state, corporations and civil society) while other climate governance mechanisms need to be completely overhauled (for example through establishment of a new World Environment Organization).

The effect of revalorized Bimi leaves (B) and/or mustard (M) addition, as supplementary ingredients, to develop an innovative kale (K) pesto sauce was studied. Microbial, physicochemical (color, total soluble solids content -SSC-, pH and titratable acidity –TA-) and sensory quality were studied during 20 days at 5 °C. Bioactive compounds changes (total phenolics, total antioxidant capacity and glucoraphanin contents) were also monitored throughout storage. The high TA and pH changes in the last 6 days of storage were avoided in the K+B pesto when adding mustard, due to the antimicrobial properties of this brassica seed. SSC was increased when B + M were added to the K pesto, which positively masked the kale-typical bitterness. Mustard addition hardly change yellowness of the K pesto, being not detected in the sensory analyses, showing K+B+M pesto the lowest color differences after 20 days of shelf life. The addition of Bimi leaves to the K pesto enhanced its phenolic content while mustard addition did not negatively affect such total antioxidant compounds content. Finally, mustard addition effectively aimed to glucoraphanin conversion to its bioactive products. Conclusively, an innovative kale pesto supplemented with Bimi by-products was hereby developed, being its overall quality well preserved up to 20 days at 5 °C due to the mustard addition.

AbstractWith the Convention on Biological Diversity conference (COP15), United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), and United Nations Food Systems Summit, 2021 is a pivotal year for transitioning towards sustainable food systems. Diversified farming systems are key to more sustainable food production. Here we present a global dataset documenting outcomes of diversified farming practices for biodiversity and yields compiled following best standards for systematic review of primary studies and specifically designed for use in meta-analysis. The dataset includes 4076 comparisons of biodiversity outcomes and 1214 of yield in diversified farming systems compared to one of two reference systems. It contains evidence from 48 countries of effects on species from 33 taxonomic orders (spanning insects, plants, birds, mammals, eukaryotes, annelids, fungi, and bacteria) of diversified farming systems producing annual or perennial crops across 12 commodity groups. The dataset presented provides a resource for researchers and practitioners to easily access information on where diversified farming systems effectively contribute to biodiversity and food production outcomes.
