After the storm—Perspectives on the taxonomy of Lactobacillaceae

Nanzhen Qiao, Stijn Wittouck, Paola Mattarelli et al. · 31 Mar 2022

This communication aims to provide a "debrief" on the taxonomic reorganization of lactobacilli in 2020 and to outline perspectives and opportunities that are provided by the current taxonomy of the Lactobacillaceae. The new taxonomy of lactobacilli not only comes with the need to become familiar with 23 new genus names but also provides substantial new…

Screening and characterization of β-galactosidase activity in lactic acid bacteria for the valorization of acid whey

Petar Kolev, Diana Rocha-Mendoza, Silvette Ruiz-Ramírez et al. · 25 Nov 2021

β-Galactosidase is an enzyme produced by some strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) commonly found in dairy products; however, industrial demand for these enzymes is still low. Acid whey (AW), a lactose-rich byproduct, has large output from cottage cheese and remains unexploited. The purpose of this study was to understand the production mechanism of β-galactosidase…

Maternal heat stress reduces body and organ growth in calves: Relationship to immune status

B. M. S. Ahmed, Umair Younas, Turky Omar Asar et al. · 3 Jun 2021

Late-gestation heat stress of dairy cows reduces fetal growth and influences postnatal performance and immune status of the offspring. Our first objective was to evaluate the effect of in utero heat stress on overall fetal and organ growth, particularly organs associated with immune function. The second objective was to examine the cellular mechanism of altered…

Potential applications of ficin in the production of traditional cheeses and protein hydrolysates

Mohammed Aïder · 3 Jun 2021

Using proteolytic enzymes extracted from plant materials is a promising way to ensure the sustainability of the food industry. This is particularly true for the dairy industry, especially in cheesemaking and the production of different milk protein hydrolysates for special food applications, particularly nutrition for infants, older adults, and people with food allergies. Ficin, a…

Economics of using beef semen on dairy herds

Víctor E. Cabrera · 25 Nov 2021

The economic value of using beef semen in dairy herds depends on the market value of calves (crossbred beef and dairy), market price of semen (beef, conventional, and sexed), herd reproductive performance, and semen combination strategies. Due to the complex interaction among all these factors and their inherent changing conditions, the quest for an optimal…
