Summary: This study investigated the effects of different salt replacements on the protein digestibility of pork sausage. The results showed that the substitution of NaCl with KCl improved the gastrointestinal digestibility and released more peptides, with a higher proportion of smaller peptides. Moreover, the digestion product with KCl exhibited excellent radical scavenging activity and improved antioxidant abilities. These findings suggest that using KCl as a replacement salt can effectively improve the digestibility and antioxidant properties of sodium-reduced meat products.

Summary: This study investigates the hydration of ions in aqueous solutions using a combined experimental and theoretical approach. By analyzing the oxygen K-edge X-ray excitation spectra, the researchers were able to identify and characterize the hydration shells of Na+ and Cl- ions. The strongest spectral changes were found to originate from the first hydration shells of both ions.

Summary: The post-flame sulfation of gaseous sodium hydroxide and sodium chloride was investigated through optical in situ measurements. The results showed that NaOH was more susceptible to sulfation compared to NaCl at high temperatures. Chemical equilibrium calculations and kinetic modeling supported the occurrence of the sulfation reactions through homogeneous reactions in the gas phase.

Summary: Despite limited information on the nutritive value of microalgae and cyanobacteria for carnivorous fish species, this study evaluated the chemical composition and nutrient digestibility of dried whole-cell biomasses. Results showed heterogeneous composition and nutrient profile among the tested microalgae and cyanobacteria, suggesting their potential as alternative protein sources for aquafeeds. Rainbow trout digestion studies ranked the biomasses into two groups based on crude protein and energy digestibility, highlighting the importance of cell-wall structure/composition in nutrient accessibility.

Summary: The aim of this experiment was to determine the effects of Tytanit and mineral nitrogen on the cellulose and hemicellulose content as well as the digestibility of Festulolium braunii. The results showed that a 1% concentration of Tytanit increased cellulose content and decreased hemicellulose content, lignification degree, dry matter digestibility, and total digestible nutrient content.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of diets containing corn silage and stylosanthes on digestibility, ruminal pH, ammonia nitrogen concentration, nitrogen balance, and performance in beef cattle. The results showed that corn silage had higher total digestibility and ruminal NDF digestibility compared to other diets, while mixed diets had higher total NDF digestibility. Additionally, animals fed corn silage showed improved intake, digestibility, and growth performance compared to other diets.

Summary: Reducing sodium content in dairy cow feed can improve feed efficiency and reduce sodium excretion. This study examined the effect of reducing sodium intake on dry matter intake, milk yield, and sodium excretion in dairy cows. The results suggest that lowering the dietary sodium content can be beneficial for both the environment and the cows.

Summary: This study found that dietary PC content had no significant effects on survival, growth, chemical composition, and lipid distribution in juvenile slipper lobsters, indicating that slipper lobsters have efficient mechanisms for lipid digestion. Furthermore, majority of dietary TL and TAG were utilized for energy and metabolic processes, while PC was more reliant on biosynthesis.

Summary: This study investigated the structural changes of myoglobin after salt treatment and the binding mode of substrate and pepsin/trypsin. The results showed that salt treatment altered the heme structure and hydrophobic cavity of myoglobin, resulting in reduced protein digestibility. Additionally, trypsin was found to be more effective in digesting high molecular weight peptides. Molecular dynamics simulation revealed that the binding between myoglobin and pepsin/trypsin was mainly maintained by hydrogen bond and hydrophobicity. The findings provide new insights into the low bioavailability of myoglobin.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.

Summary: This study developed a centrifugal microfluidic chip with on-chip RPA to detect five pathogenic microorganisms. The chip enabled the parallel analysis of six genetic markers from a single sample and allowed for the highly automated detection of multiple samples. Compared with PCR and DNA sequencing, the on-chip RPA assay showed high sensitivity and specificity for detecting multiple pathogens in shrimp aquaculture.
