Perseverance, the biggest, most advanced rover ever sent by NASA, became the ninth spacecraft since the 1970s to successfully land on Mars, every one of them from the U.S.

Over the next two years, Percy, as it is nicknamed, will use its 7-foot (2-meter) arm to drill down and collect rock samples with possible signs of bygone microscopic life. Three to four dozen chalk-size samples will be sealed in tubes and set aside on Mars to be retrieved by a fetch rover and brought homeward by another rocket ship. The goal is to get them back to Earth as early as 2031.

Scientists hope to answer one of the central questions of theology, philosophy and space exploration. | via Associated Press

Skinless Longganisa is toxic??😱

Skinless Longganisa is toxic??😱

While the consumption of too much nitrite over long periods of time could have carcinogenic risks, its underapplication in meat products such as tocino and longganisa, on the other hand, may also pose another health risk.

A study conducted by a team of researchers from the University of the Philippines Mindanao showed that 90 cured skinless longganisa packs, weighing 120–320 grams per pack, collected from a typical public market in Davao City all have low levels of nitrite.

The underapplication nitrite in processed food could shorten the product’s shelf life and compromise the integrity of the meat products.

“The study results demonstrated that all skinless longganisa samples gathered had residual nitrite levels ranging from 0.005–1.031 mg/kg,” the study said.

The nitrate levels were way below the minimum required amount of 50 mg/kg for the inhibition of Clostridium botulinum, according to Dr. Virginia P. Obsioma, Professor at the Department of Food Science and Chemistry, College of Science and Mathematics, UP Mindanao.

It was also revealed that the extreme precaution of the vendor processors could have led to the underapplication of nitrite in skinless longganisa.

The study has recommended that food safety seminars must be regularly conducted to educate food processors and vendors on appropriate amounts of nitrite and emphasize the correct measurements to apply to avoid the bad effects of both overapplication and underapplication.
