Novel trends in fermented dairy technology are presented in this review paper. The application of new starter cultures (probiotics, kombucha), as well as quality improving ingredients like transglutaminase (TGase), milk protein fractions, and functional components of plant origin have been investigated by the authors worldwide. New processing techniques such as: high-pressure processing (HPP), high pressure homogenization (HPH), and ultrasonic processing (USP) are interesting because of their potential to achieve a specific and/or novel functionality or to improve the efficiency. Novel trends in fermented dairy technology contribute to the creation of various products with high nutritive value, possessing also specific functional properties. Basic health benefits of functional fermented dairy products are: biologically active peptides - ACE inhibitors and antioxidative activity. Due to the mentioned functional characteristics, these dairy products are considered to be among the most precious functional foods.

The optimal conditions for the extraction of eight polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were determined using 32 factorial design of experiments (DOE). The independent variables were coded at three levels and their actual values were selected on the basis of the preliminary experimental results. DOE consisted of nine runs with three replicates at the central point. A second-order polynomial model was used for predicting the response. After the optimization of the duration of extraction, the ratio of solvents and purification and instrumental parameters, the optimized conditions were applied on the samples taken from the surface layer of soil from 24 potentially contaminated locations (landfills, ex marshalling yard, dump of secondary raw materials and automotive waste). The gas chromatographic analysis with electron capture detection (GC-ECD) was used for the determination of PBDEs. The recovery values of BDE congeners at five concentration levels ranged between 80% and 115%. The total PBDEs concentrations ranged from 4.4 to 729 ?g kg-1 of absolutely dry soil. The suitability of the experiment was proved by comparing the experimental and predicted values of the variable parameters.

Lactobacillus plantarum, one of the most widespread lactic acid bacte?ria, exert a strong antagonistic activity against many microorganisms. The present study was conducted to determine in vitro and in situ antagonistic potential of L. plantarum (DSM 20174) for control postharvest decay caused by phytopathogenic fungi: Aspergillus flavus, Colletotrichum acutatum, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, and Fusarium avenaceum. The results obtained in in vitro assays showed that L. plantarum had a stronger inhibitory effect on spore germination than on mycelia growth of all tested fungi. After 3 days of incubation, the diameter of inhibition zones ranged from 11.67 mm for C. gloeosporioides to 14.67 mm for C. acutatum. The bacterial suspension of L. plantarum significantly inhibited conidial germination of all postharvest pathogens (89.62-97.61%). In situ assays showed that treatment with L. plantarum efficiently inhibited necrosis ranging from 42.54% for C. acutatum to 54.47% for A. flavus. The disease incidence in L. plantarum treated fruits was statistically significantly lower than in the positive control for all fungi tested (P<0.05). The presented data demonstrate the antagonistic potential of L. plantarum (DSM 20174) and indicate the possibility of using this bacterial strain as a biological agent to control postharvest fungal pathogens.

Symptoms of cloves rot of A. ampeloprasum were noticed during 2018 in storage conditions. 16 isolates were obtained (AMP1-AMP16) and according to morphological and cultural characteristics they belong to F. proliferatum (sex. stage Gibberella intermedia), species of Gibberella fujikuroi complex. To confirm morphological identifica?tion, total genomic DNA was extracted from mycelium of the 16 isolates by amplification of TEF-1? gene, using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that was performed with the primer pair EF1 and EF2. Results presented in this article clearly indicated that the new host of Fusarium proliferatum as the causal agent of cloves rot is ?elephant garlic? Allium ampeloprasum. Pathogenicity test was confirmed on Allium ampeloprasum cloves. Pathogenicity assays revealed that all isolates caused symptoms on tested Allium spp., like naturally infected cloves.

Diffuse gamma ray emission from the Galactic center at 2-3 GeV, as well as the 12 TeV gamma ray excess in the Galactic disk, remain open for debate and represent the missing puzzles in the complete picture of the high-energy Milky Way sky. Our papers emphasize the importance of understanding all of the populations that contribute to the diffuse gamma background in order to discriminate between the astrophysical sources such as supernova remnants and pulsars, and something that is expected to be seen in gamma rays and is much more exotic - dark matter. We analyze two separate data sets that have been measured in different energy ranges from the ?Fermi-LAT? and ?Milagro? telescopes, using these as a powerful tool to limit and test our analytical source population models. We model supernova remnants and pulsars, estimating the number of still undetected ones that contribute to the diffuse background, trying to explain both the Galactic center and the 12 TeV excess. Furthermore, we aim to predict the number of soon to be detected sources with new telescopes, such as the ?HAWC?.

The aim of this research was to determine seroprevalence of infection caused by PCV2 in different categories of pigs on the territory of Vojvodina. The research was conducted on 6 pig farms placed in different locations on the territory of Vojvodina (two farms from the territory of Backa, Banat and Srem, respectively), with the capacity from 500 to 2,500 sows with intensive management, closed type. Blood samples from brachioce?phalic plexus were collected from 540 pigs in three different categories, in suckling piglets between 3 and 4 weeks of age, in weaned piglets from 8 to 9 weeks of age, and in fattening pigs between 20 and 22 weeks of age. Specific anti-PCV2 antibodies are determined by using indirect ELISA. Based on our results, we conclude that PCV2 infections are widely spread on the territory of Vojvodina, with total seroprevalence of 74.8%. The highest value of seroprevalence is determined in category of fattening pigs 86%, in suckling piglets this was 74.5%, while in weaned piglets seroprevalence was 65.3%.

In this study, the effect of Cd on the germination, growth of seedlings and composition of plants deriving from contaminated grains, grown in the field, was ex?amined. Wheat grains were soaked in Cd-containing solutions: 0 (control, deionized water), 10-5, 10-4, 10-3, and 10-2 M CdCl2 during 24h. One portion of grains was used to test germi?nation and seedling growth, while the other was sown in the field. The concentration of Cd in the grains almost linearly increased with the increase in the applied concentrations of Cd, which reduced the germination and energy of germination and increased the proportion of atypical seedlings. Larger concentrations of Cd significantly impaired the growth of seedlings (length of the shoots and roots, dry matter mass). In the grains of the field-grown plants the concentrations of N, P, and K were not affected by Cd, but their concentrations in the straw declined (especially of N). These results suggest that the emergence and development of plants on the soil polluted by Cd are likely to be significantly limited and yield reduced.
本研究探讨了镉对田间污染籽粒萌发、幼苗生长和植株组成的影响。小麦籽粒在含cd溶液:0(对照，去离子水)、10-5、10-4、10-3和10-2 M CdCl2中浸泡24小时。一份谷物被用来测试细菌?国和秧苗生长，而另一方则在田间播种。籽粒中Cd浓度随Cd施用浓度的增加几乎呈线性增加，降低了萌发率和萌发能量，增加了非典型苗的比例。较大浓度的镉显著损害了幼苗的生长(茎长、根长、干物质质量)。田间作物籽粒中N、P、K的含量不受Cd的影响，但秸秆中N、P、K的含量明显下降，说明Cd污染土壤可能会显著限制植物的生长发育，降低产量。

Gut micro flora represents a system of extensive metabolic capacity which is quite different when compared to other cells of body and organs. In recent times, there has been an evidence of very important role of gut cysteine conjugate beta-lyases in metabolism of cystein conjugates. A lot of studies are dedicated to exploration of the role of gut micro flora in formation of methylthio adducts from paracetamol in conventional mice and those treated with neomycin as our study. A highly significant reduction in urinary excretion of 3-methylthioparacetamol in group of neomycin-treated mice was confirmed as well its glucuronic acid and sulphate conjugates. Following the principal role of gut flora in the C-S cleavage of paracetamol l-3-cyctein it is clear that highest concentration of methylthio adducts from paracetamol are presented in pretreated mice.

This paper demonstrates the application of the Analytic Hierarchy Pro?cess (AHP) in assessing landscape plans using the option of abbreviated pair-wise comparisons to simplify the weight elicitation process for decision makers. Whereas the standard AHP elicitation procedure requires a full set of pairwise comparisons among all criteria at each node of the decision hierarchy in order to derive criterion weights for the decision model, the abbreviated pairwise method uses a minimal spanning set of pairwise comparisons, and remaining comparisons are then derived by transitivity rules. In this paper is presented the abbreviated pairwise method with a case study in which alternative management plans are evaluated for the Zvezdarska forest of Belgrade, Serbia. The analysis was performed with the Criterium DecisionPlus software, which fully implements the AHP methodology, and provides useful diagnostics on AHP decision models. As a conclusion, some of the key advantages and disadvantages of the abbreviated pairwise variant of the AHP method are demonstrated. One of the key qualities of the Criterium DecisionPlus software is a clear and easy graphical representation of the results.
