Addressing post-harvest losses through agro-processing for sustainable development in Ethiopia

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 18, P. 101316 - 101316

Published: July 24, 2024

Agriculture is vital to Ethiopia's economy, yet postharvest losses persist, threatening food security and economic growth. The literature indicates that range from 15 45 %, highlighting the urgency of addressing this issue. Agro-processing offers a promising solution by adding value raw products. This article examines potential in agro-processing, aligning with existing agricultural policies. Techniques such as drying, canning, freezing, packaging can optimize minimize losses. Despite challenges inadequate infrastructure limited financial resources, Ethiopia leverage its market-oriented approach establish integrated agro-processing systems. A holistic necessary, requiring Ethiopian government develop an policy framework incentives for investment technology adoption. Improving infrastructure, enforcing quality standards, strengthening market linkages are essential. Climate-smart practices information technologies enhance long-term viability. Collaborative efforts drive sustainable development prosperity through Ethiopia.

Probiotic Properties of Lactococcus lactis Strains Isolated from Natural Whey Starter Cultures

Foods, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(6), P. 957 - 957

Published: March 21, 2024

Lactococcus lactis is a lactic acid bacterium (LAB), generally recognized as safe, and has been widely used in the food industry, especially fermented dairy products. Numerous studies have evaluated technological probiotic properties of lactococci; however, few reported characteristics L. strains isolated from In this work, potential, including survival simulated gastric juice, tolerance to bile salts, hydrophobicity, auto- co-aggregation, was natural whey starter cultures. The results highlighted potential some under study, which showed high values hydrophobicity auto-aggregation low co-aggregation with tested pathogenic strains. addition, safety parameters, such antibiotic susceptibility haemolytic activity, confirmed status all study. Finally, four most promising were investigated for their ability inhibit enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) Salmonella Typhimurium adhesion epithelial cells, using model co-cultured cells. demonstrated that A3-A5-I4-I7 compete pathogens well exert protective effect on cells previously infected E. or S. Typhimurium. identification new LAB products aims produce novel functional foods.

Impact of Metabolites from Foodborne Pathogens on Cancer

Foods, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(23), P. 3886 - 3886

Published: Dec. 1, 2024

Foodborne pathogens are microorganisms that cause illness through contamination, presenting significant risks to public health and food safety. This review explores the metabolites produced by these pathogens, including toxins secondary metabolites, their implications for human health, particularly concerning cancer risk. We examine various such as Salmonella sp., Campylobacter Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, detailing specific of concern carcinogenic mechanisms. study discusses analytical techniques detecting chromatography, spectrometry, immunoassays, along with challenges associated detection. covers effective control strategies, processing techniques, sanitation practices, regulatory measures, emerging technologies in pathogen control. manuscript considers broader highlighting importance robust policies, awareness, education. identifies research gaps innovative approaches, recommending advancements detection methods, preventive policy improvements better manage foodborne metabolites.
