Recent years have seen an increase in microbial biofilm resistance, which has led to great challenges for the medical community in terms of treating diseases and the food industry in terms of contamination and the loss of shelf life. The purpose of this work is to test the antimicrobial efficacy against the biofilm formed by the following reference strains: Streptococcus pyogenes (ATCC 19615), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Shigella flexneri (ATCC 12022), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853), Escherichia coli ...

In the context of the current trend for a healthy life, more and more emphasis is placed on the partial replacement of meat-based foods with plant-based foods. This is difficult due to the need for more consumer awareness of the benefits of rebalancing diets in favor of vegetable proteins, thereby explaining the low consumption rate of these alternative products. This work aimed to demonstrate that partially replacing meat with vegetable proteins can improve nutritional properties while maintaining high sensory pr...

Currently, in order to respond to the needs of the human population and food security issues worldwide, it is necessary to implement strategies for recovery and transformation of waste from the food industry into a circular system of production and consumption. Fruit waste such as peels and seeds have a high waste rate worldwide. These wastes have a high nutritional content, suggesting a potential for use in the food industry. Pome fruits (apples, pears and quince) belong to Rosaceae family, have tough central cor...
