Natural Way

Preservation of green mass of plants is an ancient method, which was used to preserve the nutritional value of feed in hermetic conditions. Enzymatic processes in the green mass of plants occur in a natural way due to the epiphytic microflora, which under anaerobic conditions begin to actively multiply and produce lactic acid. This acid is a good natural preservative, which lowers the pH of the medium to the acidic side (up to 3.8-4.2), contributing to a decrease in the vital activity of pathogenic microflora, thereby positively affecting the quality of canned voluminous juicy feed. Currently, in the world practice in the procurement of voluminous succulent feeds, various preservatives are actively used in combination with the withering of the green mass of plants. At the same time, the economic effectiveness of their use depends on external factors, moisture and chemical composition of phytomass, the cost of preservatives used. In this regard, this article considers a comparative assessment of the effectiveness of the influence of various biologics in preserving the green mass of alfalfa, as domestic production (Ferbak-Sil (Kazan), Bioamid-3 (Saratov), Biotroph (St. Petersburg) and the foreign one (Sil-Oll (Great Britain)) under laboratory conditions, the positive effect of biological preparations on the preservation of nutrients was established. Among the tested preservatives, Biotrof biological preparation distinguished itself stimulated in the biomass of lactic fermentation, which in turn had a positive impact on the preservation of dry matter, crude protein and metabolizable energy, whose performance has been higher than the control at 7.58%, 6.64% and 5.56%.

Chitosan Coating

In Bangladesh, dry fishes are mostly produced by drying in an open environment under sunlight, and so the producers are forced to use insecticides and fungicides to prevent microbial and blowfly infestation. That is why dry fishes are often contaminated with residual insecticides and fungicides, which cause a severe threat to human health. In this experiment, gamma radiation treated chitosan solution was used while drying the fishes, and the effect was evaluated. Experimental results suggested that chitosan coating did not hinder the drying process but improved the quality of the produces. Chitosan coating was found as a repellant of blowflies as well. Besides, it also prevented microbial contamination. The nutritional value of the produced dry fishes was examined and found very satisfactory. Overall results suggested that the application of irradiated chitosan can be a very suitable and cost-effective way to produce safe and healthy dry fishes.

We previously observed an inverse correlation between stroke and urinary 3-hydroxypropyl mercapturic acid (3-HPMA), an acrolein-glutathione metabolite, through its measurement by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). However, the cost of equipment for LC-MS/MS and its maintenance fee is very expensive and a cost-efficient method is required. In this study, we have developed a sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) system to measure 3-HPMA using a chicken antibody recognizing 3-HPMA-conjugated chicken albumin as antigen. Linearity to measure 3-HPMA was obtained from 0 to 10 μM, indicating that this ELISA system is useful for measurement of urine 3-HPMA. It was confirmed that 3-HPMA in urine of stroke patients decreased significantly compared with that of control subjects using the ELISA system. Using the ELISA kit, it became possible to evaluate the risk of brain stroke by not only plasma but also by urine. These results confirm that shortage of glutathione to detoxify acrolein is one of the major causes of stroke incidence. Our method contributes to maintenance of quality of life (QOL) of the elderly.

<p>The purpose of the study was to identify the possible sources of microbial contamination in the production of W<em>agashi-Cheese</em> in the Sissala East District, Upper West Region of Ghana. Also, the hygienic practices involved were examined. A survey, observation and experiment were used to collect data. Eighty (40 raw cow milk producers and 40 W<em>agashi-Cheese</em> producers) were randomly selected for the survey. Six (3 milk producers and 3 W<em>agashi –Cheese </em>producers) were purposively sampled for the experimental part. Microbial analysis of the milk and Wagashi-Cheese were carried out using the ISO and NMKL Analytical Standard procedures. Findings from the study revealed that milk and W<em>agashi-Cheese </em>producers do not practice optimal personal, food and environmental hygiene. Coliform, fecal coliform, <em>Escherichia coli</em>, Total mesophilic (PCA), yeast and mould were identified in both the milk and W<em>agashi-Cheese</em>. Dirty cow teat, unclean containers for receiving milk and improper handling of milk while transporting to Wagashi-Cheese centers were identified as Critical Control Points along the production line of W<em>agash-Cheese</em>. Post interventions showed significant (p ≤ 0.05) reduction in microbial levels in the samples analyzed. In conclusion, the application of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) improved the quality of the final product. HACCP education and training for milk and W<em>agashi-Cheese </em>producers is highly recommended. In conclusion, there is a significant difference (P ≥ 0.05) in the microbial load of wagashi from the selected producers and thus the alternate hypothesis that there is no significant difference in the microbial loads of wagashi from different producers.</p>

The overwhelming growth of resource-intensive and latency-sensitive applications trigger challenges in legacy systems of mobile cloud computing (MCC) architecture. Such challenges include congestion in the backhaul link, high latency, inefficient bandwidth usage, insufficient performance, and quality of service (QoS) metrics. The objective of this study was to find out the cost-efficient design that maximizes resource utilization at the edge of the mobile network which in return minimizes the task processing costs. Thus, this study proposes a cooperative mobile edge computing (coopMEC) to address the aforementioned challenges in MCC architecture. Also, in the proposed approach, resource-intensive jobs can be unloaded from users' equipment to MEC layer which is potential for enhancing performance in resource-constrained mobile devices. The simulation results demonstrate the potential gain from the proposed approach in terms of reducing response delay and resource consumption. This, in turn, improves performance, QoS, and guarantees cost-effectiveness in meeting users' demands.

In the modern world, an increasing number of people prefer poultry sausages, since this product has a low calorie level. In addition, poultry sausages contain less fat and cholesterol, which is ideal for people who have a healthy and balanced diet. The creation of new recipes for products from poultry meat with the inclusion of components of animal and vegetable origin is aimed at increasing meat resources and improving the quality of finished products. In many cases, the addition of new components, as well as changing the ratio and methods of introduction into the recipe, can increase the nutritional value of the finished product. A chicken roll recipe was developed using chicken offal, Unicell-500 hydrated wheat fiber and heat-treated carrots. Kiwi was used to soften offal. Organoleptic, physico-chemical and microbiological studies of chicken rolls, developed according to classical technology and a new recipe, were carried out. The research results showed that the use of carrots and offal in chicken roll improves the taste of the product, allows you to reduce calorie content and get the product with the necessary consistency, improve functional properties, improves economic performance by reducing the cost of finished products from poultry meat. The use of Unicell-500 dietary fiber reduces the consumption of expensive meat raw materials due to the high moisture-binding ability of fiber. Enrichment of chicken roll allowed to improve physico-chemical, organoleptic, microbiological indicators.

The article analyses the importance of the admissibility of evidence in Lithuanian civil proceedings. The analysis of various sources of law allows to link the admissibility of evidence in civil proceedings not only with one of the features of evidence, but also with the objectives of this institute in civil proceedings: ensuring the quality of proof, the cost-efficient process, a fair and just trial, and other values.The reduction of the importance of the admissibility of evidence is essentially influenced by aspects related to the whole evidentiary process – the principle of free evaluation of evidence, the purpose of determination of material truth, and procedural norms establishing the judge as the final assessor of admissibility of evidence and facts. The objectives of the admissibility of evidence in civil proceedings make it necessary to find possible solutions that ensure a more appropriate relationship between the admissibility of evidence and the reasons of its importance.
