Cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment of pasteurized milk production in Uzbekistan identifies environmental hotspots and improvement opportunities

Dairy production is an important component of Uzbekistan's food system but is associated with environmental burdens. This study presents a cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment (LCA) of pasteurized milk production in Uzbekistan to quantify environmental impacts, identify hotspots,...

In vitro probiotic–associated, safety, and anti–listerial properties of indigenous dairy–derived lactobacilli: functional screening and virulence–related gene modulation

The search for autochthonous food–derived lactobacilli with complementary probiotic–associated and bioprotective characteristics is of considerable interest for functional food development and microbial control. In the present study, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from tradi...
