Antibiotics, commonly taken to address a range of health conditions, may have an unfortunate affect on gut health as they do not discriminate between disease-causing and beneficial bacteria, thus disrupting the balance of microflora in the gut. This can result in...

By adding a novel genetically engineered bacterial strain to dairy, the fermentation process is limited to converting lactose to glucose, a technique that could remove the need to add sweeteners to dairy products.
The research, part of the EU-funded Nutra Cells project (QLK1-CT-2000-01376), also has implications for lactose intolerance because, by converting the lactose in the dairy to glucose, the final lactose content of the dairy is significantly reduced.
"The resulting strain can be...

A microbiological testing system developed by Foss is quicker and more effective than currently used methods for estimating the shelf life of pasteurised milk, researchers say.
In a study published in the Journal of Dairy Science, researchers at the Mississippi State University found that the system, called MicroFoss, was able to give a good indication of the shelf life of pasteurised milk within thirty eight hours.
By comparison, the main microbiological method in use today, the Moseley...
