Mateja Kramer is employed in the pharmaceutical company Lek. In her doctoral work accomplished under co-supervision of Bojana Bogovič Matijašić, new approaches toward the assurance of quality and stability of probiotic food supplements were presented. There is increasing number of such products in the market, but their quality is often not satisfactory. Tutoring int he frame of this work is important first of all since cooperation between Chair of Dairy Science of Biotechnical Faculty and on the Lek company on the actual problem – determination of bacterial viability in their probiotic product
D.09 Tutoring for postgraduate students
COBISS.SI-ID: 2606193The lecture is exposed because it is a demonstration of our good cooperation with primary paediatrics. Four major areas where beneficial effect of dairy foods was demonstrated were presented: gastrointestinal development, and function, infant development, immunological development and function, and activity of microbiota, including probiotic action. The main topic was the health promoting effects of the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) resulted through direct effect of the live microbial cells or indirect effect via biogenics. Both effects are associated with ‘‘healthy’’ gastro intestinal tract.
B.04 Guest lecture
COBISS.SI-ID: 2571144A reconstruction of production schemes and identification of environmental impact hot spots was performed expert-wise for four selected model european traditional food products (hard cooked cheese, dry-cured ham, beer and cauliflower).This preliminary hot spot identification was preformed specifically for a conceptual life cycle assessment (LCA) technique in prosecution. In our opinion, these results can also be employed as a basis for many other environmental impact assessment approaches. The results of LCA technique were presented to end-users in 47th International Fair AGRA, Gornja Radgona.
F.18 Transfer of new know-how to direct users (seminars, fora, conferences)
COBISS.SI-ID: 2539912Comet assay is a modern method for quantitative determination of genotoxicity and antigenotoxicity by mamalian cells, human and animal cell cultures or eucaryotic microorganisms. It is appplied in human genotoxic exposure monitoring and detection of food components and environmental effects. The movie presents a practical application of the procedure from the preparation od cells, alkaline lysis, electrophoresis, fluorescent microscopy to computer evaluation of nuclear DNA genotoxic damage. The movie was applied for the workshop on comet assay at Univ. of Novi Sad, Serbia, 9-12 Sept. 2009.
F.18 Transfer of new know-how to direct users (seminars, fora, conferences)
COBISS.SI-ID: 2608520The compendium is intended to supplement the lectures from the subject Ecology and environmental protection in agriculture by theory and protocols for laboratory practicals. A set of physical, chemical and biological methods used for the determination of environmental quality (degre of pollution of soil, water and air) is presented.The principals of standard environmental methods are followed by protocols for the practical performance of selected methods from all 3 groups. Special attention among practicals is given the BMP method due to its actuality.
