Abstract

Cheese is an excellent and complex food matrix that preserves in concentrated form valuable milk constituents, such as proteins, minerals, vitamins, and biofunctional lipids. The formation of cheese mass requires the removal of whey, i.e., water and soluble milk substances—proteins, minerals, lactose, and vitamins. It is well known that whey, apart from being a serious environmental threat, is a valuable substrate for the formation of new products with excellent functional and biological activities. This reprint aims to share research related to (i) cheese production, ripening, and properties, and (ii) whey and whey components’ functionality and biological value, as well as whey exploitation and processing.

Abstract

This book contains an extensive collection of critical reviews, from leading researchers in the field of regulated protein degradation. It covers the role of regulated proteolysis in a range of microorganisms (from Gram positive, Gram negative and pathogenic bacteria to Archaea and the Baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae).     For many years, intracellular protein degradation was almost exclusively thought of as a non-selective mechanism to recycle amino acids and remove trash from the cell. The contemporary view however, is that protein degradation is a highly selective process that plays a key role in a number of important cellular processes. Not only does it contribute to the maintenance of protein homeostasis (proteostasis) through the direct recognition and removal of damaged proteins, but it also regulates the cells response to a variety of environmental stress signals. Regulatory proteolysis also plays an important role in virulence of pathogenic bacteria, and “fitness” of eukaryotic organelles. This book focuses on the central players in these diverse cellular processes – the AAA+ proteases – and examines how these machines achieve their exquisite specificity. It also highlights the various mechanisms microorganisms use to post-translationally modify their proteins, as a means to regulate protein levels and hence cell physiology.       Regulated proteolysis in microorganisms is a must read for researchers working on protein homeostasis, stress response pathways and virulence. It provides a detailed overview of the components and signals that contribute to the metabolic stability of a protein in various microorganisms. As such, it also forms a useful resource for researchers in biotechnology. The book is essential reading for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students, studying all areas of protein science including protein chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, microbiology and biotechnology.     Key features and content:   ·           Molecular mechanism of action of AAA+ proteases ·           Control of substrate specificity by adaptor proteins ·           Post-translational tagging of proteins as a means to control their metabolic stability (SsrA, Ubiquitlyation, PUPylation and SAMPylation) ·           Regulation of stress response pathways by proteolysis ·           Regulated degradation and virulence ·           Protein degradation within mitochondria.

Abstract

This Special Issue “Consumer Preferences and Acceptance of Meat Products” demonstrates that the value of different palatability traits has evolved over time. Moreover, consumer acceptance and preference are not solely determined by the inputs of the meat itself, but can also be influenced by various demographic factors. In addition, consumers’ views of meat products vary regionally and by species.

Abstract

Pregnancy is a viewed as a window to future health. With the birth of the developmental origins of human adult disease hypothesis, research and clinical practice has turned its attention to the influence of maternal factors such as health and lifestyle surrounding pregnancy as a means to understand and prevent the inter-generational inheritance of chronic disease susceptibility. Outcomes during pregnancy have long-lasting impacts on both women on children. Moreover, nutrition early in life can influence growth and the establishment of lifelong eating habits and behaviors. This Special Issue on “Nutrition during Pregnancy and Lactation: Implications for Maternal and Infant Health” is intended to highlight new epidemiological, mechanistic and interventional studies that investigate maternal nutrition around the pregnancy period on maternal and infant outcomes. Submissions may include original research, narrative reviews, and systematic reviews and meta-analyses.

Abstract

Molecular oxygen deficiency leads to altered cellular metabolism and can dramatically reduce crop productivity. Nearly all crops are negatively affected by a lack of oxygen (hypoxia) due to adverse environmental conditions such as excessive rain and soil waterlogging. Extensive efforts to fully understand how plants sense oxygen deficiency and their ability to respond using different strategies are crucial to increase hypoxia tolerance. Progress in our understanding has been significant in recent years. This topic certainly deserves more attention from the academic community; therefore, we have compiled a series of articles reflecting the advancements made thus far.

Abstract

Biogenic amines are bioactive compounds distributed in foods of all origins. Apart from their fundamental role in many bodily functions, there has recently been great interest in their toxicological potential, much research is being carried out to understand their occurrence related to both desired and undesired fermentative phenomena, chemical spoilage, low hygienic conditions, wrong handling, and criticism about technological factors of process and storage conditions. All these causes can contribute to a higher content of biogenic amines in food, particularly of those hazardous to human health. This book aims to collect scientific studies looking for new tools to limit the over-production of biogenic amines in food, search for new food sources of biogenic amines, and to spotlight the concept of safe food and bioactive amines content.

Abstract

Ubiquitination is a biological process mediated by ubiquitin itself, the E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme, E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, E3 ubiquitin ligase, and deubiquitinating enzyme, respectively. Currently, these multiple biological steps are revealed to participate in various life phenomena, such as cell proliferation, regulation of cell surface proteins expression, and mitochondrial function, which are profoundly related to human health and diseases. Although clinical applications targeting ubiquitination are still limited compared to those directed toward kinase systems such as tyrosine kinases, multiple enzymatic consequences should be future therapeutic implications. This Special Issue of IJMS entitled “Ubiquitination in Health and Disease” successfully published15 distinguished manuscripts, with a total of 66 international authors and. This book provides the latest and most useful information for researchers and scientists in this field.
