Moderni approcci all’analisi dei mangimi : i cell-based bioassay (Nota 2)

The recent research in the area of health-promoting constituents of feed highlighted the need of some re-thinking of the methodological approach to measure feed composition, in terms of bioactivity, functional properties, and safety. In this context, the transition from a chemical and instrumental analytical approach to cell-based bioassays may be fundamental to develop analytical models and protocols for a functional screening of feed and dietary supplements. This paper focuses on advanced and specific applications of cell-based bioassays for the screening of feed quality, functional properties, and safety.
