Impact of Artificial Polyploidization in Ajuga reptans on Content of Selected Biologically Active Glycosides and Phytoecdysone

Polyploidization in plants, which involves doubling or further multiplying of genome, has the potential to improve the constituents that make medicinal plants, like Ajuga reptans, attractive to the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food production industries; botanical pesticide effects could also be derived. The aim of this study was to determine how artificial polyploidization in A. reptans plants affected the composition and quantity of biologically active substances from the glycoside and phytoecdysone families. Diploids and artificial tetraploids of A. reptans were analyzed. Changes in the contents of trans-teupolioside, trans-verbascoside, and 20-hydroxyecdysone were evident in the aboveground parts of the cultivated plants (e.g., leaves and flowers). The tetraploid lines of Ajuga plants displayed variability in, and increased levels of, trans-teupolioside and trans-verbascoside content. The 20-hydroxecdysone content was slightly higher in tetraploids. These findings indicated that Ajuga tetraploids could be used in breeding programs to enhance the yield of substances with potential medicinal and industrial applications.

A Heptaplex PCR Assay for Molecular Traceability of Species Origin With High Efficiency and Practicality in Both Raw and Heat Processing Meat Materials.

Frequent meat frauds have become a global issue because adulteration risks the food safety, breaches market rules, and even threatens public health. Multiplex PCR is considered to be a simple, fast, and inexpensive technique that can be applied for the identification of meat products in food industries. However, relatively less is known about a multiplex PCR method authenticating seven animal species simultaneously in one reaction due to technological challenge. Through screening new species-specific primers and optimizing PCR system, a heptaplex PCR method was established, which could simultaneously detect seven meat ingredients of camel (128 bp), pigeon (157 bp), chicken (220 bp), duck (272 bp), horse (314 bp), beef (434 bp), and pork (502 bp) in a single-tube reaction. DNA sequencing solidly validated that each set of primers specifically amplified target species from total DNA mixtures of seven meat species. The developed multiplex assay was stable and sensitive enough to detect 0.01–0.025 ng DNA from various meat treatments including raw, boiled, and autoclaved meat samples or target meat content of 0.1% total meat weight, suggesting the suitability of the heptaplex PCR technique for tracing target meats with high accuracy and precision. Most importantly, a market survey validated the availability of this multiplex PCR technique in real-world meat products with a good application foreground.

Optimization of ultrasound assisted aqueous enzymatic extraction of oil from Cinnamomum camphora seeds

Cinnamomum camphora seed oil was extracted via ultrasound assisted aqueous enzymatic extraction (UAAEE). Neutral protease was selected for the enzymolysis pretreatment. A Plackett–Burman design and Box–Behnken design were employed to obtain the optimal UAAEE conditions and predict maximum oil yield. The optimal UAAEE conditions, with an actual yield of 80.12 ± 1.35%, were as follows: 4 h incubation time, 400 rpm agitation rate, 10 mL/g water to solid ratio, 1.9% enzyme amount, 1.4 h ultrasound time, and 220 W ultrasound power. Analysis of fatty acid compositions demonstrated that C. camphora seed oil possessed high medium-chain triglyceride content. Analysis of physicochemical properties demonstrated that the oil extracted via UAAEE possessed a lower acid value in comparison with oil extracted using the Soxhlet extraction; furthermore, other indices showed no significant difference between the two methods. The nutritional properties analysis revealed that the oil obtained using UAAEE had remarkable antiatherogenic and hypocholesterolemic activities. These results clarified that UAAEE is an efficient and eco-benign method for extracting plant seed oil and also indicated that C. camphora seed oil is a medium-chain triglyceride oil, which can be used as an ingredient in milk formulae for infants or in other health-related food industry products.

The beneficial effects of citrus peel waste and its extract on fish performance and health status: A review

Food production and processing in developing countries produce a huge amount of fruit waste by-products, which is costly and pose detrimental effects on the environment. Proteins, lipids, starch, micronutrients, bioactive compounds and dietary fibres are found in many of these fruit wastes. Among fruit wastes, citrus fruits play an important role in generating a wide range of health benefits. Citrus L. of the Rutaceae family are common fruits cultivated and consumed globally both as fresh fruits and as a juice. Citrus peel wastes (CPW) are considered the main by-products, with an average of 60% of processed fruits; hence, CPW have a promising role in the food production industry. CPW contain high concentrations of polyphenol and essential oils, which have nutritional importance and pharmaceutical usage. There is a concern on the increasing prevalence and incidence of different fish infections and a growing interest in shifting from synthetic to natural antimicrobial agents, leading to the use of citrus peel wastes for identification of novel compounds for use as fish feed additives. Although the antimicrobial properties of EOs have been reviewed extensively, the antimicrobial properties of citrus peels oil have not been extensively discussed. In fish farming, feeding strategies that employ phytochemicals as modulators of immunological and physiological responses such as growth, antioxidant activity and gene expression have received attention. In the past years, several studies have reported positive results of using citrus peel extracts as a nutritional additive in aquafeeds. Recently, these dietary functional feed additives have been evaluated and reported to increase disease resistance and improve fish growth, animal welfare and feed utilization. This review elucidates the global production, bioactive compounds, natural sources, chemical structures, physical properties, practical applications of citrus peel wastes and extracts as a desirable and sustainable route in fish nutrition.

Integration of Ukraine to the Global Value Chains

The article considers the theoretical and methodological approaches to global value chains when measuring international trade. Global trends in the modern development of international trade are analysed, and the main challenges of international trade policy for Ukraine are characterised. It is established that the modern structure of the Ukrainian economy was formed under the influence of external factors. The authors propose that, over time, the influence of the global economy on the dynamics and structure of the Ukrainian economy will continually intensify. The prospects of Ukraine’s integration into global value chains are examined, and the authors found that the structure of Ukrainian exports of goods coincides with the structure of world exports only partially. Ukrainian export of goods is characterised by a low share of highly processed industrial products and a high share of low value‑added products, in particular, basic metals and agriculture and food industry products. The export of domestic high‑tech goods is constantly decreasing compared to developed countries, and its share in the world export of high‑tech goods is insignificant. To ensure the acceleration of GDP growth in Ukraine, it is important not only to increase exports, but also to increase the export of high‑tech goods.

Production of Consumer Goods by Industry of Middle Urals in 1971—1980

The relevance of the study is due to the enduring theoretical and practical interest shown by Russian society in the historical period studied in the article. The novelty of the study is seen in the fact that the materials from the funds of two regional archives are used in the article: the Current Archive of the Territorial Authority of the Federal State Statistics Service for the Sverdlovsk Region and the Center for Documentation of Public Organizations of the Sverdlovsk Region, some of which are introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. It is emphasized that the decade under study was the peak of the historical period known as “stagnant”, becoming the last relatively prosperous decade in the history of the USSR. The authors state that the policy of “détente” provided the country with a certain foreign policy stability. Attention is focused on the fact that the development of stagnation phenomena in the country’s economy in the 1970s is clearly visible when analyzing the production of consumer goods on the example of almost any of its regions, including the Middle Urals. It is proved that during the decade under study there was no significant improvement in providing the population of the region with industrial food products. It is concluded that similar stagnation phenomena were observed in most and other areas of consumer goods production.

Oil Price Fluctuation and Their Impact on Indonesia Manufacturing Industry

Then analyze the effect of each component on the aggregate industry production index, food, beverage and tobacco industry production index, chemical and goods from chemical raw materials, petroleum, rubber and plastic industry production index, metal, non-machinery and equipment production index. The research method is VAR in difference and the analysis methods are Granger causality test, Impulse Response Function (IRF), and Forecast Error Variance Decomposition (FEVD). Global demand shocks and oil-specific demand shocks have a significant and positive effect on crude oil prices, while oil supply shocks have no significant effect. Oil-specific demand shocks have a significant effect on aggregate industry production index variables, while oil supply shocks and global demand shocks have no significant effect. The decomposition variables of oil price fluctuations, namely oil supply shocks, global demand shocks, oil-specific demand shocks, have no significant effect on the food, beverage and tobacco industry production index chemical and goods from chemical raw materials, petroleum, rubber and plastic industry production index, metal, non-machinery and equipment production index of metal, non-machinery and equipment.

A Study on Covid 19 Impacts and Survival Strategy of the Hotel Business Concerning Kochi City in Kerala

It is widely acknowledged that the hospitality sector is a part of the larger service sector and that it places more of an emphasis on experiences and luxury than on basic needs. It significantly influences the economics of several nations all over the world in a number of different ways. The most important contribution that industry contributes to a nation's economy is the development of new jobs. As an illustration, the agriculture and food producing industries, as well as the retail sector, both provide indirect jobs. Government taxes, foreign exchange, foreign direct investment, and other sources of income are just a few of the ways this industry makes money. The commercial value of the hospitality sector illustrates its significance. More than 1.2 trillion US dollars are generated annually by full-service eateries alone. The expansion of India's services sector has been considerably aided by tourists travelling to various locations. As a sub-segment of the services industry, restaurants, trade, and repair services are ranked third in India. Every sector of the global economy has been significantly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. This study focuses on how the pandemic affected Kochi City's hotel business as well as the companies' crisis management techniques.

Subcritical Water Enhanced with Deep Eutectic Solvent for Extracting Polysaccharides from Lentinus edodes and Their Antioxidant Activities.

In the present study, subcritical water extraction (SWE) assisted with deep eutectic solvent (DES) is used to extract Lentinus edodes polysaccharides (LEP). In addition, the antioxidant activity of the polysaccharide samples was also investigated. Based on a single factor test and response surface test, the optimal extraction factors were a liquid–solid solvent of 40:1 mL/g, extraction temperature of 147.23 °C, water content of 39.76% and extraction time of 17.58 min. Under these extraction conditions, the yield of LEP was 6.26 ± 0.08%. Compared with the SWE and hot water extraction (HWE), it improved by 19.24% and 17.01%, respectively. In addition, the results of monosaccharide composition, molecular weight, FT-IR, UV and SEM confirmed that the extracts had the features of polysaccharides. Interestingly, the polysaccharides obtained with the SWE assisted with the DES procedure showed a higher DPPH scavenging activity, hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity, which indicated that the polysaccharides with this method had a stronger antioxidant activity. These findings demonstrated that the SWE-assisted DES is a strong method to obtain polysaccharides from Lentinus edodes for food, biopharmaceutical and other industrial production.

Differentiation Analysis Of Abnormal Stock Return Amid Political Contestation And Pandemic In Indonesia

Political events frequently affect the condition of the stock market and industrial sectors anywhere in the world, Indonesia is no exception. Regarding the political year, the manufacturing industry is expected to perform the best. The two manufacturing industry sectors are expected to gain the highest performance growth, namely the food and beverage industry and textile product industry. Due to the increasing demand for election campaign activities in local Indonesia, both are likely to achieve positive growth. The condition of pandemic of Covid-19 strike combined political events are an event that could have implications for capital market turbulence, this hypothesis is developed on the assumption that major events can affect the macroeconomics so that corporate actions in the form of dividend announcements can affect stock returns, this will certainly be avoided by investors. However, in this research using event study data set for 2018-2020 based on the corporate actions of dividend announcements, it was revealed that this was not an influential factor. Using the event study research method and the paired sample t-test, the results show that there is no difference in stock returns before and after the announcement of dividends, even though the corporate action was carried out during the Covid-19 pandemic which was happened consecutively after political events. From the results of the research conducted by the writers, which results in the premise that cash dividend announcements do not provide a good signal for investors in Indonesia, there is an assumption that investors do not notice dividend announcements as a distortion of interest in investing

Isotope Fingerprints of Common and Tartary Buckwheat Grains and Milling Fractions: A Preliminary Study.

The grains and milling fractions of common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) and Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum (L.) Gaertn.) are widely used for both industrial and small-scale food and non-food products. This paper represents a preliminary study of the isotopic signature (δ13C, δ15N, and δ34S) to differentiate between buckwheat species (common vs. Tartary), organic and conventional cultivation farming, and different buckwheat fractions (light flour, semolina, and hulls) obtained by a traditional cereal stone-mill. Stable isotope ratios were analyzed using an elemental analyzer coupled to an isotope ratio mass spectrometer (EA/IRMS). The results indicated that δ13C, δ15N, and δ34S values could be used to verify the origin and production practices of buckwheat and even its products.

Quality of Hydrochar from Wine Sludge under Variable Conditions of Hydrothermal Carbonization: The Case of Lesvos Island

Lesvos island has several food and beverage production industries and the valorization of their waste has been an unexplored task. The focus of this study is the valorization of wine sludge which is a very interesting waste stream due to the high phenolic content. This study identified all the operating wineries on the island and sampled local wine sludge. Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) was utilized for the valorization of wine sludge and the production of hydrochar and liquid HTC liquor. The experiments had a residence time of 24 h and were performed at 200 °C. Except the uniqueness of wine sludge as a utilized material, this study performed HTC under different pressure regimes that were developed by different filling percentages of the reactor, i.e., 24–48%. The different pressure regimes influenced the measured parameters of both the liquid and the solid products of HTC. The Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) ranged between 230 and 280 g/L with the maximum reduction was observed at a filling percentage of 32%. At the same time, lower filling percentages favored the total phenolic content (max value: 21 g/L) and higher filling percentages favored the Higher Heating Value (HHV) of the hydrochar (max value: 20.36 MJ/Kg) and the produced mass yield of hydrochar (max value: 234.3 mg). For all cases, low pH values were measured on the liquid fraction and this can be attributed to the presence of organic acids. Future work will focus on the characterization of the specific phenolic content of the liquid fraction.

Development of the Russian agroindustrial exports in the context of membership in the Eurasian Economic Union

The aim of the study is to propose and substantiate recommendations for development of the export potential of the Russian agro-industrial complex (AIC) in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The paper assesses the benefits of the Russian agro-industrial complex within the EAEU and measures to extract them for exporters. It develops recommended measures of state support that promote development of the Russian agro-industrial complex under EAEU membership conditions. The author considers state regulation measures for the following sectors of the Russian agro-industrial complex: agriculture, food industry, agricultural machinery, and fertilizer production. The author makes the following conclusions in the work. Russia exports to the EAEU products that are less in demand on other external markets. Overall, Russia’s trade relations with the EAEU countries are as follows: 1) companies in the agrochemical and food industries are in a winning position; 2) a relatively positive effect is observed in the agricultural machine building industry; 3) a relatively negative impact is observed in the dairy industry and production of meat products (due to competitive pressure from Belarusian producers). To improve the competitiveness of Russian products, as well as to identify their niche in the EAEU market, enterprises should be assisted in finding new markets and developing cooperation. The diversification of export-oriented production, which has already established itself in the external market, can be used to consolidate markets on the territory of the EAEU to sell goods. Here, the capacities created to assist subjects of industrial-innovation activity and production of innovative goods (for example, in agricultural robotics) should be attracted.

A modified approach to Industrial Pollution Projection System for the assessment of sectoral pollution loads in Bangladesh.

Industrial pollution in Bangladesh has posed a serious threat to human health, economic activity, and the environment. By emphasizing industries that produce major pollutants, substantial improvements can be made to pollution mitigation measures. In countries where primary pollution data is not readily available, the Industrial Pollution Projection System (IPPS) could be used to calculate the pollution load utilizing total industrial output or employment data. IPPS data, which was designed for developed countries like the USA, had been used directly for other countries without any normalization in previously reported studies. The main purpose of this study is to modify the current IPPS approach for any other country by incorporating specific correction factor for a specific country. In this study, a specific correction factor for Bangladesh was determined, taking into account the country’s major polluting industries, and used to estimate the pollution scenario for the year 2020. The accuracy of the specific pollution intensities was also evaluated by comparing the data obtained using both gross output and employee number. According to this study, the top three air-polluting industries are structural clay products, cement-lime-plaster industry, and iron and steel industry. Similarly, for water pollution, the food industry, paper and paper product industry, and textile industry are the largest pollutant contributors. The detailed pollution load matrix in terms of air and water pollution is also developed, and can be used to predict both short-term and long-term scenarios of industrial pollution in Bangladesh, which eventually will assist the policy makers to adopt appropriate pollution management approach. Moreover, the methods developed in this study will help to tailor the IPPS data for any country and increase the accuracy of the pollution load.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10661-022-10073-0.

Corrosion Inhibition and Adsorption Potential of Rice Husk and Chitosan Extract on Mild Steel in Acidic Media

One of the consequences of industrial food production activities is the generation of a huge volume of waste, whose disposal can lead to environmental and human health problems, yet often they can be turned into high-value and useful products. On the other hand, the use of mild steel has gained more attention in food industrial applications because of its mechanical properties, ease of fabrication, low purchasing cost, and one of the ways to manage food waste. However, mild steel is susceptible to corrosion in an acidic medium. This study is aimed at investigating the inhibition and adsorption potential of the value-added product Rice husk and Chitosan on mild steel. Inhibition potential and adsorption characteristics of Rice Husk/Chitosan were done. A weight-loss experiment followed phytochemical analysis of rice husk to check the inhibition efficiency. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and other chemical analyses were done to gauge the adsorbent's performance. The analyses of the result showed that the inhibition efficiency increases with increased concentration of the inhibitor and increases with temperature. The data obtained ascertain the adsorption of the extract on the surface of the metal with an inhibition efficiency of 89.98%. The mechanism of adsorption of the extract is chemisorption.
