  • Antimicrobial Effect and Antibiotic Resistance of Lactic Acid Bacteria from Some Commercial Dairy Products
    Dinu L. et al./Scientific Papers: Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2018, 51 (1) Antimicrobial Effect and Antibiotic Resistance of Lactic Acid Bacteria from some Commercial Dairy Products Laura-Dorina Dinu1, Silviu Ioan Babata1, Anca Nicoleta Ciurea1, Ana-Maria Lunita1 1University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest, Faculty of Biotechnology, 011464, Bucharest, Marasti Ave. 59, Romania Abstract Over the past few years lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have received considerable attention as probiotic commonly consumed in fermented foods, such as some yoghurts and fermented milk drinks, and claimed antimicrobial effects against different human pathogens. Therefore, the objective of the study was to investigate the antimicrobial activity of 24 commercial dairy products and the antibiotic resistance in LAB isolated from these products. The antimicrobial effect of commercial products on growth inhibition of Candida albicans and Salmonella enteritidis was investigated using disc diffusion method, while to test the antibiotic resistance of LAB isolated from dairy were used: ampicillin (SAM, 20 µg), amoxicillin (AMC, 30 µg), ciprofloxacin (CIP, 1 µg) and trimethroprim-sulfamethoxazole (STX, 25 µg). It was found that 8 fermented foods have antifungal activity and the highest effect was produced by Napolact Kefir and a probiotic yoghurt Leeb Vital Bio, but only 2 products (Covalact Sana, Danone Activia) maintained the antimicrobial effect in 7 days expired products. Covalact Sana, Napolact Sana Bio and Pilos (kefir and yoghurt) presented the highest antibacterial effect on Salmonella sp. strain. The study revealed high susceptibility of consortium LAB strains from tested dairy products to ampicillin. This preliminary research offers consumers supplementary information about the health benefits of some commercial dairy products.

  • Middle Eastern Cuisine
    MIDDLE EASTERN CUISINE The term Middle Eastern cuisine refers to the various cuisines of the Middle East. Despite their similarities, there are considerable differences in climate and culture, so that the term is not particularly useful. Commonly used ingredients include pitas, honey, sesame seeds, sumac, chickpeas, mint and parsley. The Middle Eastern cuisines include: Arab cuisine Armenian cuisine Cuisine of Azerbaijan Assyrian cuisine Cypriot cuisine Egyptian cuisine Israeli cuisine Iraqi cuisine Iranian (Persian) cuisine Lebanese cuisine Palestinian cuisine Somali cuisine Syrian cuisine Turkish cuisine Yemeni cuisine ARAB CUISINE Arab cuisine is defined as the various regional cuisines spanning the Arab World from Iraq to Morocco to Somalia to Yemen, and incorporating Levantine, Egyptian and others. It has also been influenced to a degree by the cuisines of Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, India, the Berbers and other cultures of the peoples of the region before the cultural Arabization brought by genealogical Arabians during the Arabian Muslim conquests. HISTORY Originally, the Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula relied heavily on a diet of dates, wheat, barley, rice and meat, with little variety, with a heavy emphasis on yogurt products, such as labneh (yoghurt without butterfat). As the indigenous Semitic people of the peninsula wandered, so did their tastes and favored ingredients. There is a strong emphasis on the following items in Arabian cuisine: 1. Meat: lamb and chicken are the most used, beef and camel are also used to a lesser degree, other poultry is used in some regions, and, in coastal areas, fish. Pork is not commonly eaten--for Muslim Arabs, it is both a cultural taboo as well as being prohibited under Islamic law; many Christian Arabs also avoid pork as they have never acquired a taste for it.

  • Dr. Budwig Discovered the Answer to Cancer
    Dr. Johanna Budwig D R. BUDWIG DISCOVERED THE ANSWER TO CANCER The historian H. G. Wells said that a man’s greatness can be measured by ‘what he leaves to grow, and whether he started others to think along fresh lines with a vigor that persisted af ter him.’ Alexander the Great, Charlemagne (styled “the Great” even in his own lifetime), and Napoleon Bonaparte were powerful rulers. Dr. Johanna Budwig certainly left a legacy of discoveries that continues to ‘save’ lives even to this day and can certai nly be classed amongst these great people . Sadly she passed away in 2003 after an acci dent and never fully recovered. Dr. Willner, M.D., Ph.D. (The Cancer Solution) writes, "Numerous, independent clinical studies published in major medical journals world - wide confirm Dr. Budwig’s findings…. Over 40 years ago Dr . Budwig presented clear and convincing evidence, which has been confirmed by hundreds of other related scientific research papers since, that the essential fatty acids were at the core of the answer to the cancer problem . How Successful Was Dr. Budwig? In an interview with Dr. Budwig by Lothar Hirneise in his book Cancer Cause and Cure by Dr., O.P. Verma, on page 47 - 48 Dr. Budwig stated “…During my research I found that the blood of seriously ill ca ncer patients had deficiency of unsaturated essential fats….I also noticed that cancer patients had a strange greenish - yellow substance in their blood which is not present in the blood of healthy people. I wanted to develop a healing program for cancer.

  • How to Make More from Milk in the Informal Market in Ethiopia
    How to make more from milk in the informal market in Ethiopia YMC-60809 ACADEMIC CONSULTANCY TRAINING Eva Carrillo de Albornoz Loriente, Pier Hiemstra, Judith Jonker, Federico Lande, Willemijn Rooijmans June 2015 – Group 1581 0 Abstract Most of all the milk produced in Ethiopia comes from smallholders in rural areas. Due to a variety of factors, quality and production are persistently low, and only a small fraction is sold in informal markets. Opportunities to add value to the informal dairy chain should be investigated. Therefore, this report introduces seven new dairy products in the highlands of the Oromia region. These are yogurt with honey and dried fruits, Provolone cheese, metata ayib (local cottage cheese), teff butter cookies, niter kibbeh (spiced butter), cosmetic butter, and whey injera. These products can add value by increasing income and nutrition for smallholders, local and peri-urban consumers. Socio-economic assessment was carried out based on literature research and interviews with informants with related academic backgrounds. In order to critically analyse the seven product presented here, SWOT analyses have been carried out. Moreover, specific attention is given to a range of supporting interventions, conducive to overcoming constraints inherent to dairy production. Finally, recommendations are provided focusing on the steps that need to be considered for tailoring the above practical interventions to the specific context of the villages in the highlands of Oromia. 1 Table of contents 1. Introduction .............................................................................................................
