La population est de plus en plus pr茅occup茅e par la pr茅sence de contaminants chimiques dans les aliments et l鈥檈au potable. 芦听Et pour cause, car l鈥檋umain est expos茅 脿 un cocktail de milliers de substances chimiques听禄, affirme St茅phane Bayen, professeur adjoint au d茅partement des sciences de l鈥檃limentation et de chimie agricole de l鈥橴niversit茅 成人VR视频.
Mais comment d茅veloppe-t-on de nouveaux ingr茅dients fonctionnels? Avec 茅norm茅ment de rigueur scientifique et de patience, comme en font foi les travaux de recherche de Salwa Karboune, professeure adjointe et doyenne 脿 la recherche au d茅partement des sciences des aliments et d鈥檃griculture 脿 l鈥橴niversit茅 成人VR视频. 芦 Nous savons aujourd鈥檋ui que le microbiote intestinal est, en quelque sorte, le cerveau de notre sant茅 禄, affirme Mme Karboune. C鈥檈st pourquoi il est si important d鈥櫭﹖udier les compos茅s qui favorisent la sant茅 intestinale.
In a recent episode of 听, Professor Salwa Karboune gaves viewers a birds-eye view of her work to define the antimicrobial activity of certain natural ingredients and better understand how they interact with each other. 鈥淭he more we understand this, the more we will be able to modulate the ingredients in such a way that they function appropriately in our food products鈥�.听

Dozens of 成人VR视频 researchers will participate in two of the five 鈥溾�� announced Thursday, Feb. 15, by the federal government and funded under its听.
However, Lawrence Goodridge, the director of 成人VR视频's food safety and quality program, said the practice of thoroughly washing infected lettuce won't make it safe for consumption.
"That is actually untrue, that is not the case," he said.听"Washing lettuce or any fresh produce that may be contaminated with bacteria is a not a way to ensure its safety."鈥�
"The number of bacteria that one must consume to become sick is听so low 鈥� and when you wash a lettuce or any fresh produce, you cannot wash away 100听per cent of the bacteria."
Unlike alcohol, which kills bacteria and toxins, Lawrence Goodridge argues, integrating cannabis in the place of alcohol may require a very different production process. 鈥淏ecause cannabis is a plant, there are certain concerns -- like the possibility of pesticides used in production, or the type of fertilizer used, or the potential presence of heavy metals that could be toxic to humans,鈥� the 成人VR视频 food safety expert explained to BNN in a telephone interview.
The Honourable Kirsty Duncan, Minister of Science, announced a total investment of $52 million from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) John R. Evans Leaders Fund for 220 new infrastructure projects nationally. Among the 51 universities across the country with funded projects, 成人VR视频 leads the pack with an impressive number 鈥� 23 projects totaling $4.2 million 鈥� in this latest round of the funding competition.
Congratulations to Faculty members Val茅rie Gravel (Plant Science) and Salwa Karboune (Food Science) who were among the recipients.
The list of 鈥渂ad things鈥� could range from gross but harmless spoilage to dangerous pathogens such as Clostridium botulinum. In the case of botulism, it鈥檚 the toxin produced from the bacteria that is harmful, not the bacteria itself, says Brigitte Cadieux, a postdoctoral fellow in 成人VR视频鈥檚 Department of Food Science and Agricultural Chemistry.
