Parameters of “Safety” in the Food Additive Industry: A Review of Risks and Benefits
Abstract: “Safety is in the eye of the beholder.” What is deemed “safe” by one observer may seem dangerous or risky to others. To approach this apparent quandary and assure ongoing scientific input, most food additives should be tested on laboratory animals and subsequently monitored if approved for human or animal consumption (i.e., parallel to the pathway for the approval of drugs). The term “safety” in the study of the toxicology …

Optimization of Microbial Cellulose Production by the Newly Isolated Acetobacter sp. DR-1 under Laboratory Conditions
Abstract: Cellulose is the most abundant natural biopolymer on the earth, synthesized by plants, algae and also some species of bacteria. It is also produced by some animals (e.g., tunicates).Cellulose constitutes one of the three principal components present in plant, namely cellulose, hemi-cellulose and lignin. However, the degree of polymerization and crystallinity of bacterial cellulose is considerable high than that of plant cellulose. In microbes, cellulose is normally produced as exo-polysaccharide, …

Successful Treatment of Clinical Ketosis in Dairy Cattle
Abstract: Ketosis is a post-parturient metabolic disease encountered in high yielders due to imbalance in production and feeding leading to gluconeogenesis along with formation of abnormally high levels of ketone bodies. The disorder is particularly seen within the first few weeks after calving. It arises due to a negative energy balance when energy demands for milk production exceed dietary energy intake, leading to excessive mobilization of body fat reserves and resulting …
