This study evaluates the effects of polyphenolic extract Cistus incanus, lycopene dye from tomatoes, and betanin red beet on selected parameters model meat products with reduced nitrate contents. The composition activity C. incanus was analyzed, revealing presence elagotannins, flavanols, glycosylated flavanols. We studied dyes as well mixtures growth bacteria characteristic environment: E. col...

Lamb primals (shoulders) were vacuum packaged or packaged in modified atmospheres containing 80% O(2)/20% CO(2), 50% CO(2)/50% N(2) or 100% CO(2), and stored at 5 or 0 °C. They were examined microbiologically at 7 day intervals for total counts obtained under (1) aerobic, (2) CO(2) enriched or (3) anaerobic conditions; B. thermosphacta; pseudomonad and Enterobacteriaceae counts. Off-odour asses...

Brochocin-C is a two-peptide bacteriocin produced by Brochothrix campestris ATCC 43754 that has a broad activity spectrum comparable to that of nisin. Brochocin-C has an inhibitory effect on EDTA-treated gram-negative bacteria, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium lipopolysaccharide mutants, and spheroplasts of Typhimurium strains LT2 and SL3600. Brochocin-C treatment of cells and spheroplas...

Sausages, produced with/without nitrite and nitrate, were fermented at 21°C (RH: 65-74%) or 8°C (RH: 75-85%). All sausages were dried until a final weight loss of 44% and analyzed for physicochemical and microbiological data. The removal of NO2 /NO3 caused an increase in lipid oxidation, although the decrease in the fermentation temperature proved to be effective in controlling the lipid oxidat...

Changes in bacterial community composition and counts of chilled pork during storage at 4 °C were unraveled by culture-dependent method culture-independent method. Physical chemical analyses including drip loss, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), pH, surface color also performed to estimate its quality shelf life. A 37 phyla, 575 genera 843 species identified all samples high-throughput seq...

Growing demands stimulate the intensification of production and create need for practices that are both economically viable environmentally sustainable. As European Union banned use antibiotics in 2003, several alternative treatments have been suggested, including probiotics. The first probiotic study aquaculture was published 1986, since then probiotics considered as a beneficial tool this ind...

Consumers’ constant search for high-quality and safe products, with the least possible preservatives additives, as well extended shelf life, has led industries to research develop alternative forms of food preservation packaging. The purpose this was study effect natural antimicrobials and, in particular, essential oils ginger (Zingiber Officinale Roscoe) rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) on...
