Benefits of bifidobacteria
Bifidobacteria are an important group of bacteria that play a key role in maintaining the health of the human gut microbiota. By supporting digestive health, immune function, mental health, metabolic health, and infant health, bifidobacteria may help promote overall health and wellbeing.
Ohmic heating in food processing
Ohmic heating is a food processing technology that uses electrical current to generate heat within a food product. The electrical current passes through the food, which acts as a resistor and generates heat due to the resistance to the current flow. This technology can be used for both liquid and solid foods and can be applied at different stages of food processing, including pasteurization, sterilisation, and blanching.
My favourite books of biochemistry and microbiology
The best books inspire and excite. Here are my favourites in biochemistry and microbiology.
Hemp and it’s prebiotic role
Hemp is a versatile and sustainable plant that offers a range of benefits, including nutritional value, environmental benefits, and potential health benefits, among others. It is important to note that more research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits of hemp and its various products.
