In this study, hydrolyzed protein as a natural preservative for increasing the shelf life of minced meat of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) was used in a refrigerator for 12 days. Hydrolyzed protein was added to the minced meat of fish, at 0.5, 1 and 1.5% concentration. In this regard, microbial, chemical and sensory tests were carried out during the period of storage at intervals of ...

The components and quantities of atmospheric dusts fallout has been reported to be the pollution indicator of large urban areas. The multiplicity and complexity of sources of atmospheric dusts in urban regions (e.g. industrial complexes composed of a variety of industrial processes, automobiles, construction activities etc.) has put forward the need of source apportionment of these sources indi...

Background: Milk is one of the most nutritious foods providing a variety of proteins, fats, minerals, and vitamins needed to maintain, grow, and develop the body. The aim of this study was to assess microbial and chemical adulterants of raw cow milk collected from dairy farms of Hlabisa villages, KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa.

Although the quantitative assessment of plant- and microbial-derived carbon (C) chemical composition in soil profiles has been initially explored, vertical distribution pattern these two C sources their relative contribution SOC formation based on insights related to rhizosphere are still lacking. We quantified divergent accumulation (i.e., microbial residues), plant-derived lipids lignin pheno...

conclusions resistance to oxacillin and other antibiotics was high, and most of the isolates were found to be multi-drug resistance (mdr). plasmid analysis of representative s. aureus isolates also demonstrates the presence of a wide range of plasmid sizes, with no consistent relationship between plasmid profiles and resistance phenotypes. regular surveillance of hospital infections and monitor...
