Identification of optimal measurement points for energy monitoring of industrial processes: The case of milk powder production

Tuong-Van Nguyen

Meaningful energy analysis of industrial processes requires the installation of energy monitoring systems. However, a lack of systematic methods for identifying the required measurement points, joint to scarce information on the related benefits, results i ...

The Quest for Genes Involved in Adaptation to Climate Change in Ruminant Livestock

Stéphane Joost, Elia Vajana

Simple Summary: After domestication in specific regions, livestock followed human migrations and colonized the whole world. During this population expansion, human and natural selection, together with demographic events, molded the livestock genome leading ...

A minimalistic cyclic ice-binding peptide from phage display

Harm-Anton Klok, Luciano Andres Abriata, Matthew Gibson, Xudong Kong, Corey Alfred Stevens

Developing molecules that emulate the properties of naturally occurring ice-binding proteins (IBPs) is a daunting challenge. Rather than relying on the (limited) existing structure–property relationships that have been established for IBPs, here we report ...

Biogeoinformatics for the management of Farm Animal Genetic Resources (FAnGR)

Solange Catherine Gaillard

In the context of both severe selection in farm animals and potential effects of climate change, it is crucial to implement a sustainable management of the breeding practice, supported by a judicious use of geographic information technologies. Based on thi ...

Big dairy data to unravel effects of environmental, physiological and morphological factors on milk production of mountain-pastured Braunvieh cows

Stéphane Joost, Elia Vajana, Solange Catherine Gaillard

The transhumance system, which consists in moving animals to high mountain pastures during summer, plays a considerable role in preserving both local biodiversity and traditions, as well as protecting against natural hazard. In cows, particularly, milk pro ...

Large-scale regionalised LCA shows that plant-based fat spreads have a lower climate, land occupation and water scarcity impact than dairy butter

Xun Liao

Purpose In light of the sustainable diet debate, we conducted a large-scale regionalised LCA to answer the following questions: (i) does the climate advantage hypothesis of plant-based fat spreads and creams over dairy butter and cream hold regardless of t ...

Inflammatory and metabolic responses to high-fat meals with and without dairy products in men

Martinus Gijs, Guy Vergères

Postprandial inflammation is an important factor for human health since chronic low-grade inflammation is associated with chronic diseases. Dairy products have a weak but significant anti-inflammatory effect on postprandial inflammation. The objective of t ...

Highly sensitive detection of five typical fluoroquinolones in low-fat milk by field-enhanced sample injection based CE in bubble cell capillary

Hubert Girault, Natalia Gasilova, Liang Qiao, Yan Deng

Fluoroquinolones are a group of synthetic antibiotics with a broad activity spectrum against mycoplasma, gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Due to the extensive use of fluoroquinolones in farming and veterinary science, there is a constant need in t ...

Impact of milk processing on the generation of peptides during digestion

Martinus Gijs, Guy Vergères, Flurina Schwander, Reto Portmann

Milk processing may induce changes in dairy product composition and influence digestibility and nutrient bioavailability. Differences in protein degradation and peptide generation were studied for beta-lactoglobulin and alpha(S1)-casein from commercially a ...

Microfluidic Ultrafiltration and Acoustophoresis as a Human Breast Milk Optimizing Plateform for Neonatal Nutrition

Blaise Guélat

In recent years, research has highlighted that breast milk with higher concentrations of lipid and protein could benefit to the survival rate and quality of life of preterm infants. However, to date, there is no clinical means available to separate, concen ...

From food to physiology characterization and in vitro digestion of milk products and investigation of postprandial metabolism and inflammation after a high-fat meal intake in a human nutrition intervention study

Flurina Schwander

According to the World Health Organization worldwide obesity has more than doubled since 1980. The World health statistics 2012 report shows that one in six adults is obese, one in ten diabetic and one in three has a raised blood pressure. Overweight and o ...

A Contextual Analysis of Land-Use and Vegetation Changes in Two Wooded Pastures in the Swiss Jura Mountains

Alexandre Buttler, François Gillet, Thomas Spiegelberger, Joël Chételat, Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer, Kathryn Lannas, Michaël Kalbermatten

This study examines the effects of land-use policies and natural events on the evolution of two wooded pastures in the Jura Mountains in Switzerland between 1934 and 2000. The socioeconomic context and the local conditions were seen as major driving forces ...

Nutrichip: an integrated microfluidic system for in vitro investigation of the immunemodulatory function of dairy products

Martinus Gijs, Sandro Carrara, Paolo Silacci, Hamideh Jafarpoorchekab, Guy Vergères, Flurina Schwander

We introduce the concept of the NutriChip, a miniaturized artificial human gastrointestinal tract (GIT) for investigating the potential of immuno-modulatory function of dairy food. More specifically, we are investigating the effect of digested milk on immu ...
