and the system could adapt well to preserve their foods and medicine, bringing them better quality of life,"
and his colleagues found that they could make large mixtures of biologically active compounds from a few chemical ingredients in just a few hours,
This work builds upon previous studies Zhang's team has done with xylose, the most abundant simple plant pentose sugar,
Unlike other hydrogen fuel production methods that rely on highly processed sugars, the Virginia Tech team used dirty biomass--the husks and stalks of corn plants--to create their fuel.
He also confirmed the ability of this system to use both sugars glucose and xylose at the same time,
Typically in biological conversions, these two sugars can only be used sequentially, not simultaneously which adds time and money to the process.
but also avoids complicated sugar flux regulation. The team also increased enzymatic generation rates. This reaction rate is fast enough for hydrogen production in distributed hydrogen-fueling stations.

#Sensor detects spoilage of food VTT has developed a sensor that detects ethanol in the headspace of a food package.
Ethanol is formed as a result of food spoilage. The sensor signal is wirelessly readable, for instance, by a mobile phone.
The sensor monitors ethanol emitted from the spoilage of foods into the headspace of a package.
The sensor transmits information about the freshness of the food in the package to the retailer or customer.
or sticker and be attached easily to a food package. The price of the sensor will then be low enough for use in food packages.
Using the sensor, it will be possible to control the food quality throughout the distribution chain and to prevent waste caused by spoilage.
More than 100 tonnes of food products end up in waste annually (estimation 2014) in Europe, and the amount will rise to 126 million tonnes in the year 2020 if nothing changes s

#Pomegranate juice turned into a microcapsule powder which can be dissolved in water The pomegranate is a fruit rich in antioxidants,
the Phd in biochemistry and molecular biology Gabriel Cabrera Betanzos designed a microencapsulation process from pomegranate juice
The method consists in converting the natural pomegranate juice in small dust particles that can be dissolved in water.
The researcher in the nutrition area of the Institute of Health Sciences (ICSA) of the University of Hidalgo (UAEH in Mexico, says that the idea for this product came after observing that people do not consume the pomegranate because of the difficulty
He also states that the benefits of the pomegranate are better than those of fruits like the cranberry, grapefruit, grape or black and green tea,
which contain the compounds of pomegranate juice. Microencapsulation makes the product stable, as it protects it from the environment
which does not happen with the natural juice because it loses effectiveness because the ph of the stomach.

#Agricultural intervention improves HIV outcomes A multifaceted farming intervention can reduce food insecurity while improving HIV outcomes in patients in Kenya, according to a randomized,

these results prove the concept that improving food insecurity and alleviating poverty can affect HIV clinical outcomes,
240 million people are food insecure. Food insecurity increases the risk of becoming infected with HIV
and food insecure people with HIV are less able to take anti-HIV therapies, make clinic visits,
and have poorer nutritional status. Together, those issues make treating and preventing HIV more difficult, leading to sicker patients and more deaths.
food insecurity gets worse due to loss of economic activity and productivity, loss of social support due to HIV stigma and the costs of medical care."
"HIV/AIDS and food insecurity are intertwined in a vicious cycle, with each increasing vulnerability to and exacerbating the severity of the other,

"In this paper, we demonstrated their efficacy on sugars, but one can envision applications of this concept with enzymes acting on other types of molecules such as lipids
Others break apart substrates into multiple products, such as ones that break down starch into sugars. Enzymes are used in a wide range of commercial applications,
such as the preparation of foods, dietary supplements, therapeutics and chemical materials. A major goal in biotechnology is to modify enzyme activity
One of its major uses is the production of short sugar chains that can serve as beneficial prebiotics.
This enzyme builds chains of sugar molecules by adding individual sugar units to existing chains.
However, its products are of varying length, leading low amounts of the desired short sugar chains.
The team set out to design a monobody that causes the enzyme to only act on small sugar chains.
and prevents it from accepting large sugars as a substrate--thereby forcing it to produce only short sugar chains."
"We were able to design one monobody that prevents beta-galactosidase from using certain sugars as starting material
