Enzymes From Cow Stomach Contain Useful Microorganisms That Can Recycle Plastic

(Photo : Photo by Arbendra Pratap) Bacteria were discovered in rumen fluids, which is the biggest compartment of a ruminant s stomach. Ruminants rely on microorganisms to help break down their coarse plant diet. The researchers hypothesized that some microorganisms in a cow s rumen would be able to digest polyesters. Cow Diet (Photo : Pixabay) Cows eat cutin, a natural polyester generated by plants, as a result of their herbivorous diets. Being a synthetic polyester, PET has a chemical structure comparable to that of this natural material. According to corresponding author Doris Ribitsch, a senior scientist at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna, cutin makes up most of the cuticle or waxy outer layer of plant cell walls. Thus, it can be found in abundance in the peels of tomatoes and apples, for example.

Watermelon is a summertime staple But what s hidden behind the sweetness?

Watermelon is a summertime staple. But what s hidden behind the sweetness? Michael Merschel, American Heart Association News July 1, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail Lea en español Whether they re serving as snacks at a family reunion or props in a late-night comedy act, watermelons and fun just seem to go together. But how does watermelon hold up health-wise? Smashingly, you might say. I m definitely impressed by its health benefits, said Tim Allerton, a postdoctoral researcher at Louisiana State University s Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge. Fruit is always part of a healthy diet. But watermelon s combination of nutrients makes it special, Allerton said.

Slowing sugar rush to yield better grapes

Researcher Pietro Previtali collecting sample Cabernet Sauvignon grapes for the study. One of the many challenges for grape growers posed by climate change is the accelerated rate at which grapes ripen in warmer climates, which can result in poor colour and aroma development. In a new study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, researchers from the University of Adelaide found it is possible to increase the flavour potential of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes by slowing down the ripening process with strategies including crop load manipulation and irrigation management. “Groups of compounds were responsive to different factors, including crop load, irrigation, ripening rate and in some cases an interaction of these.”Lead author, Pietro Previtali from the University of Adelaide’s School of Agriculture, Food and Wine
