BACKGROUND Breast cancer is a public health problem and it is the most common gynecologic neoplasia worldwide. The risk factors for its development are of both hereditary and environmental origin. Certain foods have been clearly associated with modifying the breast cancer risk. The aim of the present analysis was to evaluate the effects of cow's milk and meat consumption on the development of b...

In-package ozonation is an antimicrobial packaging system that uses atmospheric cold plasma technology to generate ozone and other gases inside a sealed package to inhibit microbial growth on packaged food. Previous unpublished research has shown that in-package ozonation effectively kills and inhibits microbes on raw chicken breast meat. However, ozone has a high oxidation potential and may in...

An experiment was conducted to estimate optimal dietary arginine requirement in White Pekin ducks from 1 to 21 d of age. Six hundred thirty 1-d-old male White Pekin ducks were randomly allotted to 10 dietary treatments with 7 replicate pens of 9 birds per pen. Birds in each group were fed corn-corn gluten meals diet containing 0.71, 0.84, 0.95, 1.03, 1.17, 1.27, 1.39, 1.47, 1.62, and 1.72% argi...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this research was to study the electrical properties and quality of frozen-thawed chicken breast meat and to investigate the relationship between these parameters at different times of frozen storage. METHODS Thawed samples of chicken breast muscles were evaluated after being kept in frozen storage at -18°C for different periods of time (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 m...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mushroom waste and probiotic levels on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality in broiler chickens. a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement with two levels of probiotic supplementation (0 and recommended rate) and three levels of mushroom waste inclusion (0%, 3%, and 6%) was used in a completely randomized design using male broi...

This study examined the effects of extraction and further ultrafiltration on the carnosine content, antioxidant activity and total iron content of chicken muscle extracts. Fresh breast meat had 7-fold higher carnosine than fresh thigh meat (2900 versus 419μg/g meat, respectively). Carnosine extracts of breast and thigh were prepared by heating at 60, 80 and 100°C, and ultrafiltration (UF) using...

BACKGROUND Dietary fat has been inconsistently associated with the risk of breast cancer. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between meat and animal and plant fat intake and breast cancer risk in subgroups by total lifetime physical activity, using data from a case-control study conducted in the Region of Western Pomerania, Poland. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study includ...

the aim of this study was to assess the meat quality attributes of broiler chickens fed diets supplemented with silver nanoparticles coated on zeolite. a total of 375 one-day-old broilers was assigned in a completely randomized design to 1 of 5 treatment groups including: basal diet, basal diet supplemented with 1% zeolite, and basal diet supplemented with one of the three levels of zeolite coa...

BACKGROUND The role of diet as a cause of breast cancer in Asian Americans has not been adequately studied. OBJECTIVE We investigated the association between dietary patterns and breast cancer risk in Asian Americans. DESIGN This population-based case-control study in Los Angeles County compared dietary patterns between 1248 Asian American women with incident breast cancer and 1148 age-, et...
