    Bioaccessibility of Carotenoids and Polyphenols in Organic Butternut Squash (Cucurbita moschata): Impact of Industrial Freezing Process

    Butternut squash (Cucurbita moschata) is recognized as a functional food due to its abundant content of health-promoting compounds, including carotenoids and polyphenols. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of industrial freezing stages on the bioaccessibility of carotenoids and polyphenols in organic Butternut squash supplied for baby food. Identification and quantification of bioactive compounds were carried out using UPLC-ESI-MS/MS and HPLC-PDA, respectively. The results revealed that industrial freezing of squash did not cause a significant change in bioaccessibility of α- and β-carotene. On the other hand, frozen squash was found to contain higher levels of bioaccessible epicatechin (main flavonoid) (117.5 mg/kg) and syringic acid (main phenolic acid) (32.0 mg/kg) compared to fresh internal fruit. Moreover, the levels of bioaccessible epicatechin and syringic acid were found to be the highest in discarded pomace and seed sample (454.0 and 132.4 mg/kg, respectively). Overall, this study emphasized that industrial freezing could be an effective strategy for preserving carotenoid bioaccessibility in organic Butternut squash, while also enhancing the levels of bioaccessible polyphenols. In addition, we also demonstrated that pomace and seed, which are discarded as waste, have significant potential to be utilized as a food source rich in bioactive compounds

    Glanders & Melioidosis: A Zoonosis and a Sapronosis—“Same Same, but Different”

    Glanders, caused by infection with Burkholderia mallei, primarily causes infection in equines, but may be transmitted to humans, and thus qualifies as a true zoonosis. Melioidosis Melioidosis is caused by B. pseudomallei, genetically very similar to B. mallei, but which is an environmental saprophyte capable of infecting humans and a wide range of other animals. Good evidence of animal-to-human, or even human-to-human, transmission of melioidosis is lacking, and so it most appropriately referred to as a sapronosis, or at most a sapro-zoonosis. Although rare in Western countries, both micro-organisms have recently gained much interest because of their potential use as bioterrorism agents Bioterrorism. The increasing recognition of melioidosis in humans and recent outbreaks of glanders Glanders in animals have led to their description as emerging or re-emerging diseases. Laboratory-associated infections with both organisms have also occurred, resulting in their categorisation as Hazard Group 3 pathogens. In this chapter we review the epidemiology of animal and human cases of glanders and melioidosis, the evidence for different modes of transmission, pathogenesis and clinical features, diagnosis and treatment, as well as public health and disease control issues
