“…However, it should also be regarded as a chance to limit the economic losses and health threats associated with A/ H5N1 circulation. Although all these benefits could be achieved by switching to plant-based diets (Rzymski et al, 2021;Gibbs and Cappuccio, 2022;Pieczyńska and Rzymski, 2022;Carey et al, 2023), they cannot be regarded as the ultimate solution. A relevant percentage of the human population is unwilling to exclude or limit meat from their diet while developing plant-based alternatives that sufficiently mimic the organoleptic and nutritional parameters of livestock products is challenging, and there are additional barriers related to cost and allergenicity issues (Graça et al, 2015;Verhoeckx et al, 2016).…”

Avian influenza causes substantial economic loss in the poultry industry and potentially threatens human health. Over recent years, the highly pathogenic avian influenza A/H5N1 virus has led to devastating losses in poultry flocks and wild birds. At the same time, the number of mammalian species identified to be infected with A/H5N1 is increasing, with recent outbreaks in domestic cats, including household individuals, evidenced in July 2023 in Poland, ultimately creating opportunities for the virus to adapt better to mammalian hosts, including humans. Overall, between 2003 and 2023, over 10 outbreaks in felids have been documented globally, and in six of them, feed based on raw chicken was suspected as a potential source of A/H5N1, fuelling a debate on threats posed by A/H5N1 and methods to decrease the associated risks. This article debates that technology allowing the production of slaughter-free meat, including poultry, from cell and tissue cultures could be considered as a part of a mitigation strategy to decrease the overall burden and threat of adaptation of avian influenza viruses to human hosts. By shifting poultry production to the cultured meat industry, the frequency of A/H5N1 outbreaks in farmed birds may be decreased, leading to a reduced risk of virus acquisition by wild and domesticated mammals that have direct contact with birds or eat raw poultry and have close contact with human (including domestic cats), ultimately minimizing the potential of A/H5N1 to adapt better to mammalian host, including humans. This adds to the list of other benefits of cultured meat that are also reviewed in this paper, including decreased antibiotic use, risk of microbial contamination and parasite transmission, and environmental and ethical advantages over conventional slaughtered meat. In conclusion, further development and implementation of this technology, also in the context of poultry production, is strongly advocated. Although cultured poultry is unlikely to replace the conventional process in the near future due to challenges with scaling up the production and meeting the continuously increased demand for poultry meat, it may still decrease the pressures and threats related to the transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza in selected world regions.

“…The demand for nondairy beverages has significantly increased (by 61% since 2012) [1]. Many researchers explain this phenomenon as a result of the rising number of people suffering from lactose intolerance or consider it as a result of new lifestyles including vegetarian or vegan diets, environmental issues and ethical concerns regarding the consumption of animal milk [2][3][4][5][6][7]. Vakima et al stated that plant-based milk alternatives (PBMAs) are not an entirely new product category, as they have historically been part of many food cultures; for example, soy milk in China and horchata (tigernut milk) in Spain [4].…”

Plant-based milk alternatives are a fast-growing segment of food industry resulting in the generation of large amounts of by-products, often containing comparable and even higher amounts of valuable phytochemicals than the target products. Common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum M.) Panda variety has been selected for this study, which aims to compare the antioxidant potential of beverages produced from buckwheat whole and dehulled grains, as well as cakes obtained as residues. After combining, evaporating and freeze-drying, extracts were subjected to RP-HPLC-DAD, total phenolics and in vitro antiradical and antioxidant assays (FRAP, ABTS, DPPH and lipid autoxidation). Flavonoids (3.09 mg/100 mL) exceeded the content of phenolic acids (2.35 mg/100 mL) in the beverages prepared from dehulled grains, but their content (1.69 mg/100 mL) in the beverages from whole grains was lower than that of phenolic acids (2.93 mg/100 mL). The antiradical capacity of beverages did not differ significantly, regardless of the method used. In case of by-products, a higher ferric-reducing capacity and scavenging activity towards DPPH• of cakes from whole grains compared to that from dehulled grains was established. The activity of cake extracts under lipid autoxidation conditions increased with the increase in their concentrations from 0.12 wt% to 0.16 wt% in the oxidizable substrate.
