A main course is the featured or primary dish in a meal consisting of several courses. It usually follows the entrée ("entry") course. In the United States and parts of Canada, it may in fact be called "entrée".

A sirloin steak dinner. The sirloin steak is the main course here.

The main dish is usually the heaviest, heartiest, and most complex or substantive dish on a menu. The main ingredient is usually meat or fish; in vegetarian meals, the main course sometimes attempts to mimic a meat course^{[citation needed]}. It is most often preceded by an appetizer, soup, and/or salad, and followed by a dessert. For those reasons the main course is sometimes referred to as the "meat course".

In formal dining, a well-planned main course can function as a sort of gastronomic apex or climax. In such a scheme, the preceding courses are designed to prepare for and lead up to the main course in such a way that the main course is anticipated and, when the scheme is successful, increased in its ability to satisfy and delight the diner. The courses following the main course then calm the palate and the stomach, acting as a sort of dénouement or anticlimax.

• Rapid identification of differentially virulent genotypes of Paenibacillus larvae, the causative organism of American foulbrood of honey bees, by whole cell MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.

Electronic address: axel.karger@fli.bund.de.AbstractInfection with Paenibacillus larvae, the etiological agent of American foulbrood, is lethal for honey bee larvae and may lead to loss of the entire colony. Of the four known ERIC-genotypes of P. larvae, ERIC I and II are most frequently observed and differ significantly in virulence. The course of the disease on the larval level is more accelerated after infection with genotype II strains allowing nurse bees to remove diseased larvae more efficiently before capping. For this reason the lead clinical symptom, conversion of capped larvae into 'ropy mass', is less frequently found than after infection with ERIC I strains bearing the risk of false negative diagnosis. In this study, the potential of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for the discrimination of P. larvae genotypes ERIC I and II was explored on the basis of a comprehensive set of isolates. Using commercial software and a reference database constructed from field and type strains, ERIC I and II genotypes of all field isolates could be unambiguously identified on basis of mass spectra. Statistical analysis showed that the genotype is the main determinant for the spectral phenotype and MS-based ERIC-type determination is robust against sample selection. Furthermore, analysis of samples from Canada and New Zealand showed that distribution of ERIC II is not restricted to Europe as previously assumed. We suggest adding ERIC I and II genotype isolates as type-specific reference spectra for use in routine diagnostics.

• The circadian rest-activity rhythm, a potential safety pharmacology endpoint of cancer chemotherapy.

• Ortiz-Tudela E1, Iurisci I, Beau J, Karaboue A, Moreau T, Rol MA, Madrid JA, Lévi F, Innominato PF.Author information 1Department of Physiology Chronobiology Laboratory, University of Murcia, Murcia, Spain; INSERM, UMRS776, Biological Rhythms and Cancers, Villejuif, France.AbstractThe robustness of the circadian timing system (CTS) was correlated to quality of life and predicted for improved survival in cancer patients. However, chemotherapy disrupted the CTS according to dose and circadian timing in mice. A continuous and repeated measures longitudinal design was implemented here to characterize CTS dynamics in patients receiving a fixed circadian-based chemotherapy protocol. The rest-activity rhythm of 49 patients with advanced cancer was monitored using a wrist actigraph for 13 days split into four consecutive spans of 3-4 days each, i.e., before, during, right after and late after a fixed chronotherapy course. The relative amount of activity in bed vs. out of bed (I<O, main endpoint), the autocorrelation coefficient r24, the relative 24-hr amplitude (Amp), interdaily stability (IS) and intradaily variability (IV) were compared according to study span. Circadian disruption (I<O ≤ 97.5%) resulted from the administration of the fixed chronotherapy protocols, with all five rest-activity rhythm parameters being worsened in the whole group of patients (p < 0.05). Mean parameter values subsequently recovered to near baseline values. The occurrence of circadian disruption on chemotherapy was associated with a higher risk of clinically relevant fatigue (p = 0.028) or body weight loss (p = 0.05). Four CTS dynamic patterns characterized treatment response including no change (9.5% of the patients); improvement (14.3%); alteration and complete recovery (31%) or sustained deterioration (45%), possibly due to inadequate chronotherapy dosing and/or timing. Improved clinical tolerability could result from the minimization of circadian disruption through the personalization of chronotherapy delivery.

• Building phenomenological models that relate proteolysis in pork muscles to temperature, water and salt content.

• Harkouss R1, Safa H1, Gatellier P1, Lebert A2, Mirade PS3.Author information 1INRA, UR370 Qualité des Produits Animaux, F-63122 Saint-Genès-Champanelle, France.2Institut Pascal, UMR6602 UBP/CNRS/IFMA, 24 avenue des Landais, BP80026, 63171 Aubière Cedex, France.3INRA, UR370 Qualité des Produits Animaux, F-63122 Saint-Genès-Champanelle, France. Electronic address: pierre-sylvain.mirade@clermont.inra.fr.AbstractThroughout dry-cured ham production, salt and water content, pH and temperature are key factors affecting proteolysis, one of the main biochemical processes influencing sensory properties and final quality of the product. The aim of this study was to quantify the effect of these variables (except pH) on the time course of proteolysis in laboratory-prepared pork meat samples. Based on a Doehlert design, samples of five different types of pork muscle were prepared, salted, dried and placed at different temperatures, and sampled at different times for quantification of proteolysis. Statistical analysis of the experimental results showed that the proteolysis index (PI) was correlated positively with temperature and water content, but negatively with salt content. Applying response surface methodology and multiple linear regressions enabled us to build phenomenological models relating PI to water and salt content, and to temperature. These models could then be integrated into a 3D numerical ham model, coupling salt and water transfers to proteolysis.
