It is not known whether dietary guidelines proposing a limited intake of animal protein are compatible with the adoption of circular food systems. Using a resource-allocation model, we compared the effects of circularity on the supply of animal-source nutrients in Europe with the nutritional requirements of the EAT-Lancet reference diet. We found the two to be compatible in terms of total animal-source proteins but not specific animal-source foods; in particular, the EAT-Lancet guidelines recommend larger quantities of poultry meat over beef and pork, while a circular food system produces mainly milk, dairy-beef and pork. Compared with the EAT-Lancet reference diet, greenhouse gas emissions were reduced by up to 31% and arable land use reduced by up to 42%. Careful consideration of the feasible substitutability between animal-source foods is needed to define potential roles of animal products in circular human diets.

Currently, there is an increasing use of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) studies to investigate the molecular taxonomy, metabolic properties, enzyme capabilities, and bioactive substances of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) species. In this study, the genome of strain Pediococcus pentosaceus BBS1 was sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq. 2500 platform to determine its classification, annotate its main features, and evaluate its safety characteristics.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) constitutes a significant global health challenge, accounting for a considerable proportion of cancer cases and associated mortality. Projections indicate a potential increase in new cases by 2040, attributed to demographic factors such as aging and population growth. Although advancements in the understanding of CRC pathophysiology have broadened treatment options, challenges such as drug resistance and adverse effects persist, highlighting the necessity for enhanced diagnostic methodologies.

The analytical comparability of biologic products and their biosimilars, including higher-order structure (HOS) assessment, ensures product quality and is required for regulatory approval. In this study, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was used to evaluate the HOS of Humira (adalimumab) and its biosimilars under normal and photo-stressed conditions. Under normal conditions, 1D and 2D NMR spectra showed strong structural similarity among all products.

The hydrolysis of biomass in fermentative processes often faces the difficulty of generating inhibitory products. Its reduction or removal is essential to enable the use of agro-industrial waste, such as cashew apple bagasse. Therefore, this study aimed to find an optimized condition for the hydrolysis of cashew apple bagasse by subcritical water and to introduce an in-line pre-purification process.

The hop plant is gaining interest in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries due to its abundance of secondary metabolites. However, branches and leaves, despite their antioxidant potential, are typically discarded. To valorize these components as functional ingredients they were dried, milled into hop powder (HP), and used to enrich bread.
