The researchers reported that Atmospheric Cold Plasma (ACP) processing technology helped to improve the quality parameters of tomato-based beverages during storage. The research is conducted by Dr. Sudesh Kumar Yadav’s team at Mohali based research institute, the Center of Innovative and Applied Bioprocessing (CIAB). The team found that ACP helps to retain maximum ascorbic acid […]

Pathogens on dairy farms shows importance of milk pasteurisation
A Dutch report has emphasised the importance of consuming milk pasteurised after an analysis of pathogens on goat and sheep dairy farms. The Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) and the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) investigated whether dairy goats and sheep carry pathogens that cause disease in […]
Evaluating the effect of ultraviolet irradiation on green tea
Short‐wavelength ultraviolet (UV‐C) irradiation is a nonthermal processing technique that is a possible alternative to the heat pasteurization of tea beverages. A study published in the Journal of Food Science suggests that UV‐C irradiation may not significantly deplete antioxidants or produce cytotoxic byproducts in green tea beverages. The researchers investigated the effect of UV‐C irradiation […]
Pasteurized bacterium may reduce effects of obesity and diabetes
Researchers have found an intestinal bacterium, known as Akkermansia, that offers proven enduring benefits for the intestines of overweight mice and diabetic animals. The research also shows that the strengthening effects of this bacterium on the intestinal barrier remain even after pasteurization. Researchers of the Louvain Drug Research Institute of the University of Leuven in […]
