The aim of the study was to investigate changes of physical, microbiological, and sensory properties of muesli with germinated fakes during storage. Germinated fakes were made from conventionally grown grains: hullless barley, hull-less oat, rye, wheat, and triticale in various proportions. Breakfast cereals samples were packaged in Doypack (stand up pouches) made from Pap50g/Alu7/ Pe60 (Pap/Alu/PE) and stand up pouches Fibrecote® HB MG 40/60 (PE/EvOH/Pap) and stored for 6 months at temperature t=35±2°C and relative air humidity φ=55±3%, to provide accelerated shelf-life testing. The main quality parameters such as total plate count, yeasts and mould, water activity, moisture content, water absorption and sensory properties—taste, aroma, consistency, and appearance were analysed using the standard methods. The results of the present experiments demonstrate that the best quality of dried breakfast cereals after storage in terms of sensory quality, microbiological stability, moisture migration, and water absorption were achieved in the Fibrecote® HB MG 40/60 pouches. This study revealed that breakfast cereals made from rye, triticale germinated triticale, germinated hull-less oat, germinated hull-less barley fakes; as well breakfast cereals made from triticale, oat, germinated wheat, germinated triticale, and germinated hull-less barley fakes packaged in Fibrecote® HB MG 40/60 can be stored for 12 months at temperature 23±2°C; but breakfast cereals made from wheat, rye, triticale, germinated hull-less oat, germinated hull-less barley, germinated rye fakes and package in same packaging material can be stored for 10 months at temperature 23±2°C.

Claire CoutrisAbstract
The major fraction of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) released in the environment are transiting through wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). How do the microorganisms responsible for the removal of nitrogen in WWTPs react when exposed to wastewater-borne ENMs? We investigated the potential for Ag and TiO2 nanoparticles (and their transformation products) to cause a decrease in the operational efficiency of WWTPs, more specifically on nitrogen removal by denitrification. To gain a mechanistic understanding of the potential effects of Ag and TiO2 NPs on denitrifying bacteria, we exposed pure cultures of bacteria isolated from activated sludge to various concentrations of NPs, and monitored gas kinetics during the transition from oxic to anoxic respiration. We also conducted similar exposure experiments on indigenous bacterial communities present in actively operating WWTPs. Results obtained with suspended and biofilm associated microorganisms will be presented, in order to complement eco-physiological studies on single organisms.
