Enhancing Plant-Based Proteins: A Breakthrough in Off-Flavor Removal
As the world shifts towards more sustainable, plant-based diets, one challenge has been the off-flavors that complicate the use of plant proteins. In a recent study, researchers identified 97 microorganisms capable of neutralizing these undesirable flavors in less than an hour. By utilizing specific lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts, they successfully removed "green" aldehydes and ketones from proteins like almond, pea, potato, and oat, resulting in a more neutral-tasting and purified food ingredient. Impressively, this process minimizes the formation of new, unwanted flavors and preserves the functional qualities of the proteins. This breakthrough holds immense potential for improving the taste and appeal of plant-based products without compromising their nutritional benefits. Read More
Unlocking the Anti-Aging Power of Intermittent Fasting: The Role of Spermidine in Cellular Health
In a groundbreaking study published in Nature Cell Biology, researchers from the Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (IMBB) and their global partners have unveiled how spermidine, a natural polyamine, plays a pivotal role in extending lifespan through autophagy—a cellular recycling process crucial for combating aging. The study reveals that intermittent fasting elevates spermidine levels, enhancing cell resilience and longevity by promoting autophagy. This discovery, observed across various organisms from nematodes to human cell lines, highlights spermidine's universal role in maintaining cellular health and offers promising new strategies for delaying aging and managing age-related diseases.

New Findings in Probiotics: Lactobacillus acidophilus CL1285 Reduces Fat Storage, Battles Oxidative Stress, and Increases Lifespan
Recent research using Caenorhabditis elegans has demonstrated the potential of Kerry company Bio-K+’s probiotics in delivering targeted health benefits. Among the strains tested—Lactobacillus acidophilus CL1285, Lacticaseibacillus casei LBC80R, and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CLR2—CL1285 stood out for its unique ability to prevent fat accumulation and extend lifespan in nematodes, effects linked to glucose levels and the daf-16 pathway. These findings suggest that CL1285 may positively influence fat and glucose metabolism, paving the way for further exploration of its potential health benefits in humans. Read More
Ensuring Safety in the Food Chain: New Guidelines for Microorganism Risk Assessment
As microorganisms, whether genetically modified or not, become increasingly integrated into the food chain, rigorous safety assessments are crucial. A new set of guidelines outlines the use of whole genome sequencing (WGS) for evaluating these microorganisms before they can enter the European market. These guidelines, replacing the EFSA 2021 Statement, detail the necessary steps for genome sequencing, including quality standards and reporting requirements. The WGS data play a key role in identifying potential risks, such as harmful genes or antimicrobial resistance, ensuring that only safe and effective microorganisms are approved for use in food production.
