Summary: The unique characteristics of camelid heavy-chain only antibodies (HCAb) derived nanobodies (Nbs) have led to their widespread application in various fields. However, their application in food allergen inspection and immunotherapy has been lacking. Nbs possess strong properties and a simple selecting strategy, making them advantageous for immunoassays and as blocking antibodies. The development of specific Nbs against food allergens shows their potential in food allergen surveillance and immunotherapy.

Summary: This study improves the quantification of trace level peanut allergens in processed food using LC-MS by enhancing method robustness, total analysis time, and method sensitivity. The study optimized extraction buffers and peptide choice, and developed a rapid extraction and in-solution digestion method to reduce analysis time. The results showed accurate quantification, excellent linearity, and improved sensitivity compared to previous methods. These methodological improvements contribute to reliable peanut detection in food and can be applied to other foodborne allergens.

Summary: This study analyzed allergen food recalls issued by food regulatory bodies in the UK from 2016 to 2021. The analysis included food type, allergenic food group, reasons for recall, and food expiry status. The findings revealed an increasing trend in allergen-related recalls until 2019, with a peak of 118 recalls, followed by a decrease to 82 and 84 recalls in 2020 and 2021 respectively. Milk was the most recalled allergenic food group, accounting for 25.2% of recalls. The omission of priority allergens from the list of ingredients was the main reason for recalls, and the supermarket Lidl issued the most recalls with 37 recalls involving 62 products. Some recalls with expiry dates posed microbiological risks to consumers, especially in cereal & bakery products.

Summary: By comparing food intake data from the US and The Netherlands, it was found that risk assessment outcomes for 20% of food groups containing 14 allergenic foods differed considerably depending on the assumed allergen concentration. This suggests that food intake data from the US and The Netherlands cannot be used interchangeably for risk assessment.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the hematological and biochemical reference intervals of healthy Nelore matrices raised in the southwest of Piaui state in Brazil. The findings showed that Nelore females have slightly different biochemical and hematological profiles compared to other breeds, possibly due to environmental and nutritional factors specific to the region.

Summary: Microencapsulated urea formulations with different urea concentrations were used in ruminant feeding to control the release rate of ammonia in the rumen, improving nitrogen utilization and reducing the risk of ruminant intoxication. The degradation kinetics demonstrated that controlled release from microencapsulated systems significantly decreased the release rate compared to free urea. Additionally, blood serum concentrations of certain metabolites were higher in sheep receiving microencapsulated urea, with the MPec2 system being recommended for its more controlled core release.

Summary: This study investigates the variations in lipid digestion profiles among individuals of different ages using in vitro digestion models. The findings suggest that adults have a more comprehensive lipid digestion compared to infants, and infants tend to release shorter chain length and more saturated free fatty acids during digestion. Additionally, the particle sizes in the stomach of the elderly were consistently larger. This study enhances our understanding of how lipids with different degrees of unsaturation undergo digestion in diverse age groups.

Summary: Chitosan-pectin emulsion-filled hydrogel (EFH) was developed to enhance the bioaccessibility of lipophilic bioactive compounds through intestinal delivery. The EFH, prepared without crosslinking agents, demonstrated improved mechanical strength and compactness with higher pectin concentration. It retained the emulsion at pH 2.0 and released it at pH 7.4, resulting in enhanced release of free fatty acids and improved bioaccessibility of curcumin.

Summary: Horse's milk, with its high nutritional value and low allergenic proteins, could be a substitute for cow's milk in infant consumption. A proteomic method was used to identify and compare milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) and whey proteins from different horse breeds. The study found differences in protein composition and functionality, which could support the development of formulas more suitable for human infants.

Summary: This study investigated the acidification of aroma-enhanced black tea during storage. Analysis of non-volatile substances and organic acids using UPLC-Q-TOF/MS and HPLC revealed a decrease in soluble sugars and amino acids, while an increase in organic acids such as oxalic acid, malic acid, and quinic acid. In vitro experiments further demonstrated that the acidification is a result of the decomposition of sugars and amino acids by heating, as well as the oxidation of aromatic aldehydes. Additionally, the study showed that the taste composition of tea infusion is altered, with reduced amino acids, catechins, soluble sugars, and flavonoids. This research provides a theoretical basis for improving the quality of black tea.
