Article Abstract
Twenty provinces in northeastern Thailand were investigated for fluke metacercariae contamination in pickled fish, or pla-som, during January –June 2016. A total of 129 pickled fish shops were randomly chosen. Samples were digested with acid-pepsin and those found to be infected with metacercariae were fed to hamsters to test for metacercariae infectivity. The results demonstrated that only 20.2% of the pla-som samples were infected with fluke metacercariae (mc), at various levels (1 to 268 mc/kg). All recovered fluke metacercariae were inactive, degenerated and could not develop to adults in the animal model. In conclusion, the fluke mc infection status in pla-som was correlated with the prevalence of fluke infection in this region known for high O.viverrini and cholangiocarcinoma development. Clearly, systematic control of the fluke life cycle is needed. Whether pickling is an effective preventive measure needs further assessment.

In this study, ten high protease-producing isolates were selected from a total of 163 isolates obtained through the isolation and purification of fish sauce, shrimp paste, eel paste, and Dai Shan pickled fish. A total of 6 isolates were subjected to screening based on their bacteriostatic and acid-producing capabilities. Finally, two excellent strains of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum DZ3-1 and Companilactobacillus alimentarius DZ3-6, which significantly improved the flavor of fermented seafood, were screened by branched-chain aminotransferase activity, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-Glutamate dehydrogenase activity, optimal growth conditions, and fish isolated soluble protein (FISP) fermentation experiment.

Background: There is a pressing need for research on neurodevelopmental conditions to focus on predictors of resilient or positive outcomes, rather than core symptoms and impairment. One promising avenue is to consider whether child-parent similarity contributes to a protective family environment. For instance, investigations of the similarity-fit hypothesis have shown that parent-child attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) trait similarity is associated with more favourable parent or child ratings of parenting and parent-child interaction.

However, with the recent progression of economic globalization and food diversification, foodborne parasitic diseases have become a significant public health challenge. Here, we investigated and analyzed the characteristics of foodborne parasitic infections arising from market-sold aquatic food products and in key populations.

Background: Produced naturally by lactic acid bacteria, L-lactic acid is found in many fermented milk products such as yogurt, and also in pickled vegetables, cured meats and fish. It also serves as a quality parameter in wine, beer, whole egg, whole egg powder, and juices.
Objective: To validate the performance of the Enzytec™ Liquid D-/L-Lactic acid for the determination of the sum of D- and L-lactic acid in food and beverages such as milk and (fermented) milk products, fermented vegetable products, wines, beer, fruit and vegetable juices, egg and egg powder.
