Researchers at the University of Barcelona, Spain, show for the first time that bacteria, in addition to yeast, are involved in the secondary fermentation of the sparkling wine known as Cava. They report their findings today at the 105th General Meeting of the American Society for Microbiology.

A pig used for research at the University of Illinois atUrbana-Champaign has a home in history. Its DNA will provide the first sequence of the swine genome to be completed with the help of a two-year $10 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced today (Jan. 13) by Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns. Lawrence B. Schook, a professor of animal sciences at Illinois and co...Chocolate, wine, spicy foods may be OK for heartburn, Stanford study finds

Contributed by Alan T. Bakalinsky Department of Food Science and Technology, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331-6602 Chromosomal profiles of wine strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were compared to those of a standard laboratory karyotype. Qualitative analysis supported previous genetic...Red Wine Helps Fight Heart disease
The lower incidence of heart disease in France, despite a diet rich in butter and other fats, has led researchers to look to the consumption of red wine, another staple of the French diet. //Scientists say they have discovered the key component in red wine.

The latest from researchers in Denmark, observe that people who drink wine// now and again may have a lesser risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer's disease. People who drank wine weekly or monthly had the most benefit. The researchers are realistic about their researc...Allergen, Epidermals & Animal Proteins, Pig (Swine) Epithelium
