The purpose of this study was to determine the viability of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP), Escherichia coli (E. coli), and Salmonella Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) during preparation and refrigerated storage of yogurt. Three yogurts were prepared using pasteurized commercial milk. Each yogurt was artificially contaminated with (1) MAP, (2) E. coli + S. Enteritidis, and (3) MA...

This study was performed to investigate the changes in meat quality characteristics of the sous vide cooked chicken breast during refrigerated storage at 4℃ for 14 d between before and after sous-vide cooking. Cooking loss and shear force were significantly increased, whereas expressible drip was significantly decreased along with reduction in the water holding capacity in both of two groups. R...

Combined effects of gamma irradiation and concentrations of O(2) (0, 5, 21%) and CO(2) (0, 50%) on survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella enteritidis, Listeria monocytogenes, lipid oxidation, and color changes in ready-to-cook seasoned ground beef (meatball) during refrigerated storage were investigated. Ground beef seasoned with mixed spices was packaged in varying O(2) and CO(2) lev...

To assess the effects of pre-analytical handling (storage time and temperature) on selected hematological parameters, whole blood samples were collected in EDTA coated tubes from each of 30 clinically normal male adult beagle dogs. Each sample was separated in 2 aliquots, of which one was stored in ambient temperature (25 ˚C) and the other one was refrigerated (2 to 4 ˚C). Complete blood counts...

the suitability of milk preserved by refrigeration and co2 addition for the manufacture of plain yoghurt using two commercial strains of lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus and streptoccocus thermophilus and probiotic yoghurt by lactobacillus acidophilus was evaluated. yoghurts (plain and probiotic) manufactured after milk pasteurization, from fresh and refrigerated co2 treated samples (p...

background and objective: semi-dry fermented sausages were manufactured from beef meat in three types: without starter culture (control), inoculated with lactobacillus casei and inoculated with lactobacillus paracasei. probiotic fermented sausages are safe and healthy meat products, which receive high commercial interest and growing market shares. material and methods: the physico–chemical char...

this study investigated of antibacterial and antioxidant activity of garlic and lemon extract (1.5 %) on the quality and shelf life of fillet, vacuum-packaged rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) during refrigerated storage. were studied by monitoring the microbiological (totalviable count, psycrotrophic), chemical (tba), ph and sensory changes for a period of 20 days in (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20). e...
