Export of Misfolded Proteins out of the ER01:32

Export of Misfolded Proteins out of the ER

After folding, the ER assesses the quality of secretory and membrane proteins. The correctly folded proteins are cleared by the calnexin cycle for transport to their final destination, while misfolded proteins are held back in the ER lumen. The ER chaperones attempt to unfold and refold the misfolded proteins but sometimes fail to achieve the correct native conformation. Such terminally misfolded proteins are then exported to the cytosol by ER-associated degradation or ERAD pathway for...
Energy Losses in Transformers01:21

Energy Losses in Transformers

In an ideal transformer, it is assumed that there are no energy losses, and, hence, all the power at the primary winding is transferred to the secondary winding. However, in reality,  the transformers always have some energy losses, and, hence, the output power obtained at the secondary winding is less than the input power at the primary winding due to energy losses.
There are four main reasons for energy losses in transformers.
The first cause can be  the high resistance of the copper windings...

Microorganisms in Agriculture and Food industry

Microorganisms play a crucial role in agriculture and the food industry, contributing to soil fertility, crop protection, and food production. Their functions range from nitrogen fixation and biopesticide production to fermentation and food preservation, making them indispensable to sustainable farming and food safety.Role in AgricultureNitrogen-fixing bacteria, such as Rhizobium (symbiotic) and Azotobacter (free-living), convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia through biological nitrogen...
Sources of Food Contamination01:29

Sources of Food Contamination

Contamination of food by microbial agents and natural toxins poses significant risks to public health. These hazards can be introduced at various points across the food supply chain, ranging from environmental sources to processing and storage stages. Understanding these contamination pathways is critical for developing strategies to ensure food safety.Seafood is particularly vulnerable to contamination through both environmental exposure and microbial colonization. Toxins from harmful algal...
Principles of Food Preservation01:27

Principles of Food Preservation

Food spoilage results from microbial growth, enzymatic activity, and environmental factors that gradually degrade the sensory, nutritional, and safety qualities of food. Preservation techniques aim to slow or halt these processes to extend shelf life and maintain product quality.A key concept in food microbiology is the microbial growth curve, which includes four phases: lag, exponential (log), stationary, and death. During the lag phase, bacteria adjust to their environment without significant...
Methods of Controlling Food Spoilage01:26

Methods of Controlling Food Spoilage

Food spoilage is caused by microbial growth or by chemical and physical changes, all of which affect the taste, texture, and safety of food.Temperature-Based PreservationRefrigeration at 0–4 °C slows microbial growth and enzyme activity, making it ideal for short-term storage. However, certain spoilage organisms—such as psychrotrophs like Listeria monocytogenes—can still proliferate at these temperatures. Freezing below -18 °C further slows biological processes by forming ice crystals, which...

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Economics
  • Food Science and Technology
  • Supply Chain Management

Background:

  • Global food loss is a significant contributor to food insecurity and economic waste.
  • The meat industry, particularly in developing nations like Iran, faces substantial losses throughout its supply chain.
  • Understanding the specific points of loss in the Iranian meat supply chain is crucial for developing effective reduction strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify key areas of meat loss within Iran's meat supply chain.
  • To propose effective strategies for reducing meat loss and waste in the Iranian meat industry.
  • To highlight the potential for by-product utilization and mechanization in minimizing waste.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of meat loss and waste estimates within the Iranian meat production sector.
  • Examination of the meat value chain to pinpoint segments with significant loss.
  • Evaluation of potential solutions, including mechanization and by-product utilization, for waste reduction.

Main Results:

  • National average meat loss and waste in Iran is approximately 300,000 metric tonnes (15% of production).
  • A significant portion of these losses (up to 25%) can be avoided through mechanization and by-product utilization.
  • Mechanically deboned meat (MDM) production highlights major waste, accounting for 88.33% of total poultry losses.

Conclusions:

  • Implementing improved food chain practices and technological solutions can substantially reduce meat loss in Iran.
  • Strategic utilization of by-products and mechanization offers a viable pathway to minimize waste and recover value.
  • Collaborative efforts involving Iranian associations and institutes are essential for effective implementation of loss reduction strategies.
