Article Abstract
The export of agri-food products represents a pillar of the Italian economy. However, food businesses (FBs) must comply with a series of requirements, including those imposed by importing countries. This study conducted in-depth interviews with three Italian FBs producing food of animal origin to explore their perception about procedures, documentation, and the role of the central competent authority (CA) related to export. Interviews with food quality managers (FQMs) (February-April 2024) revealed similar challenges across different sectors, particularly regarding the availability and clarity of information. FQMs suggested the implementation of a centralized online platform to enhance access to necessary information. Additionally, the study revealed a lack of full awareness among FQMs about central CA's role in the export process. A coordinated approach involving central, regional, and local CAs, trade associations, and the productive sector could be crucial to ensure the success of FBs in the international market.

High-fat foods are decomposed into fatty acids during digestion and absorption, primarily occurring in the gastrointestinal tract, and numerous studies have indicated that long-term high-fat diets significantly increase the incidence of intestinal disorders. As a critical intestinal hormone, serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is involved in regulating intestinal peristalsis, secretion, and visceral sensitivity. However, due to the lack of methods capable of reproducing intestinal mechanical activities and in situ monitoring of 5-HT levels, the influence of high-fat diets on intestinal 5-HT release remains unclear.

Unlabelled: Soy whey, a tofu production byproduct rich in nutrients, is typically discarded. This study investigated five natural lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains isolated from spontaneously fermented soy whey (FSW) for their fermentation performance in soy whey medium. The growth characteristics, total phenols and flavonoids compounds, antioxidant activities, and aroma profiles were evaluated.

To minimize the liquid splashing in vacuum cooling, the mass and temperature changes of liquid food were measured by changing the conditions such as the volume ratio of the solution to the container, the pore area, the initial temperature and the terminal temperature, and the effects of different conditions on the ineffective water loss rate were derived from the test results. When the opening area is 1.13cm, the ineffective water loss rate is the largest.
