It would be a lot easier to enjoy your life if there weren't so many things trying to kill you every day. The problems start even before you're fully awake. There's the fall out of bed that kills 600 Americans each year. There's the early-morning heart attack, which is 40% more common than those that strike later in the day. There's the fatal plunge down the stairs, the bite of sausage that get...

The origin of meat products and any porcine contamination should be carefully analyzed for Halal certificaiton. Different methods are utilized for origin detection and of meat and meat products. Due to the sencitivity and selectivity, Real Time PCR is used widely in the area. In this method, even very small amounts of DNA can be determined. In this study, sausages from the most famous sausage b...

In 1994, an outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 infection was linked to dry, fermented, pork and beef salami. In response to this first implication of a dry fermented sausage product, the United States Department of Agriculture/Food Safety Inspection Service developed guidelines requiring sausage manufacturers to validate that their processes achieve a five-log reduction of E. coli O157:H7. Various val...

A protein matrix is necessary for the desired texture of fermented sausages suitable for slicing. The formation of this network is predominantly induced by myosin and actin proteins. A change in the structure of native muscle proteins results from different technological processes such as chopping, salting, and fermentation. During chopping with simultaneous release of meat proteins, the salt b...

carotenoids are the main pigments of tomato, of which 93% is lycopene. lycopene has desirable physiological effects in human sush as cancer prevention. recent years, because of harmful side effects of synthetic colouring agents used in food products, employing of natural food colouring agents has become very important. in this research firstly, solvent extraction method was used for tomato caro...

We consider the Wiener sausage among Poissonian obstacles. The obstacle is called hard if Brownian motion entering the obstacle is immediately killed, and is called soft if it is killed at certain rate. It is known that Brownian motion conditioned to survive among obstacles is confined in a ball near its starting point. We show the weak law of large numbers, large deviation principle in special...

The effect of vacuum packing on the shelf-life of sausages produced from Capoeta umbla were investigated during storage periods. For this purpose, microbial, chemical and sensory changes were analyzed throughout the storage time. The microbial flora of the sausages comprised mainly mesophilic bacteria, psychrotrophic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, yeast and molds. Escherichia coli, Staphylcocc...
