TL;DR: This study elucidated the controversial relationship between the molecular weight of chitosans and their antibacterial activity (upon different inoculum levels, at several concentrations), and the influence of food components on the activity was ascertained.

TL;DR: The development of future interventions to ensure that the world's population has access to plentiful, safe and nutritious food may need to rely on breeding for nutrients under the context of climate change, including legumes in cropping systems, better farm management practices and utilization of microbial inoculants that enhance nutrient availability.

TL;DR: The Portuguese Severe Asthma Registry (RAG) is a national web-based disease registry of severe asthma patients that allows prospective clinical data collection, promotes standardized care and collaborative clinical research, and may contribute to inform evidence-based healthcare policies for severe asthma.

TL;DR: In this article, the efficacy of ingredients derived from whey protein isolate (WPI) and glycerol, including incorporation of lactic acid (LA) and propionic acid (PRO), chitooligosaccharides with nominal MW of 3 kDa (COS) and natamycin (NA) as antimicrobial agents, was evaluated in vitro via agar diffusion and viable cell counting.

TL;DR: In this article, the stability of probiotic microorganisms, viz. Bifidobacterium animalis Bb-12® and Lactobacillus casei-01, in edible film formulations based on whey protein isolate (WPI) was investigated.
