Summary of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) Scientific Opinion on the Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) as a Food-borne Pathogen

Authors: Petra Vašíčková and Monika Kubánková
Keywords: HEV, food-borne, hepatitis E virus, liver, pork, wild boar

The hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a causative agent of important infection in humans in European countries. Food-borne transmission appears to be the major pathway for human HEV infections in Europe, and domestic pigs, wild boar and probably deer are considered the main animal reservoirs of the HEV. For this reason, the European Food Safety … [Read more…]

The use of hops in meat production

Authors: Petr Pipek, Tereza Škorpilová, Marie Psotková and Markéta Adamcová
Keywords: hops, meat products, natural compounds

The effect of hops (Humulus lupulus) on the quality of meat products was studied in connection with current demands for the wider usage of natural compounds in the food industry. Various additions of hop extracts were tested in heat-treated meat products under industrial conditions. The following technological properties were measured: colour (reflectance spectrophotometry), pH, water … [Read more…]

The baking potential of wheat-fonio flour composites evaluated by Mixolab

Authors: Michaela Drábková, Marie Hrušková and Ivan Švec
Keywords: PCA, baking test, fonio flour, mixolab, sensory profile, wheat flour

Wheat-fonio flour composites were blended in ratios of 97.5:2.5, 95:5 and 90:10 wt. % using commercial types of both cereal materials, thanks to which the dietary fibre content was elevated stepwise. The basic analytics of the tested composites were depicted by the Zeleny sedimentation test and the Falling Number test, the results of which were … [Read more…]

The protein profile of cereals, pseudocereals and legumes

Authors: Dana Rajnincová, Andrea Špaleková, Zdenka Gálová and Kvetoslava Romanová
Keywords: cereals, legumes, proteins, pseudocereals

Cereal grains are a major source of dietary energy and nutrients worldwide. Gluten proteins from wheat (prolamins and glutelins) play a crucial role in the bakery industry. However, gluten also causes a negative response in a small subset of the population which suffers from coeliac disease. This is one reason for the incorporation of alternative … [Read more…]

Insects reared for food use – a comparison of greenhouse gas production in Tenebrio molitor with other livestock animals

Authors: Petr Kouřil, Eva Burdová, Marie Borkovcová, Helena Fišerová and Libor Kalhotka
Keywords: carbon dioxide, edible insects, greenhouse gases, livestock animals

The breeding of edible insects is still a matter of peripheral interest in the Czech Republic, though its gradual development can be expected. The rearing of a large number of living organisms is associated with the production of waste and greenhouse gases. In this experiment, the production of greenhouse gases was determined in the species … [Read more…]
