During the heat treatment of vegetable and animal products, glucose and fructose, formed as a result of sucrose hydrolysis, are mainly involved in the sugar-amine reaction as a carbohydrate component, while free amino acids and proteins are used as an amino component. The compounds formed during the Maillard reaction determine the aroma and taste of the thermally treated product [1]. Recently, it was found that the Maillard reaction occurs also in the body [2]. Excess glucose in the body is assumed to bind to proteins through the Maillard reaction, leading to early aging, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and other diseases [3]. The smell and taste of products are due to the compounds resulting from the Maillard reaction in food processing. In products of plant, animal, or microbial origin, all conditions are present (the content of sugars, amino acids, proteins, water, acidic, neutral, or basic medium) promoting the processes involved in the Maillard reaction. and different types of heat treatment as baking, roasting, boiling, and drying cause these processes at different intensities.

A special danger is caused by heavy metals that do not undergo biodegradation. Known purification methods of soils are not always effective and profitable. Correct selection of soil remediation methods contaminated with heavy metals ensures effective cleaning and restoration of soils. For this purpose, selecting representatives of various taxonomic groups of microorganisms binding heavy metals in the soil is carrying out. A complex method of purification of soils contaminated with have metals is being developed. Modified forms of humic acids were developed, geochemical barriers using local clays were created. Works to biostimulate local microorganisms required for bioremediation of soils contaminated with heavy metals are conducted. Remediation and increasing the fertility of soils contaminated with heavy metals are necessary for the prevention of fur...

Discovery of proteinogenic amino acids was a quite long process and took many years from 1806 to1935. According to Wicker and Schmidt a presence of amino acids in protein hydrolysate is considered to be established if at least two researchers derived them independently of each other and if its structure is confirmed by synthetic pathway [1]. Even today these requirements are valid in relation to newly discovered amino acids. Each amino acid, except for a name foreseen by the international nomenclature has its trivial (conventional) name, which points either at the source, from which this amino acid was derived first, or notes some of its special characteristics. The presented work provides chronological review of the history of discovery of twenty proteinogenic amino acids.

Pollution of the environment with heavy metals causes particularly serious consequences. There are many methods of cleaning the polluted environment caused by heavy metals. The ideal way is biological remediation, which is an effective method of managing and restoring the polluted environment. Works on biostimulation of local microorganisms necessary for the bioremediation of soils contaminated with heavy metals have been carried out. The results of the studies showed that local microorganisms are effective for the bioremediation of heavy metals. The use of a consortium of bacteria and microscopic fungi selected by us, which did not have a mutually antagonistic effect on each other, was especially effective.
