Crossbred steers (n = 72) were selected to study forage-based finishing systems using winter annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) with varying levels of grain supplementation. In December, cattle were allotted to 1 of 6 treatments consisting of ryegrass pasture (1 ha) with whole shell corn supplemented at 0.0% (0.0), 0.5% (0.5), 1.0% (1.0), 1.5% (1.5), and 2.0% (2.0) of BW, or an ad libitu...

An AOCS collaborative study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of sensory analysis and gas chromatographic analyses of volatile compounds in measuring vegetable oils for levels of oxidation that ranged from none to high. Sixteen laboratories from industry, government, and academia in Canada and the United States participated in the study to evaluate the flavor quality and oxidative st...

Our objective was to evaluate color changes during storage of fresh pork chops and enhanced and nonenhanced loin quality from anti-gonadotropin-releasing factor (Improvest) immunologically castrated (IC) barrows. In study 1, treatments evaluated were IC barrows, IC barrows fed ractopamine (IC+RAC), physically castrated (PC) barrows, intact males (IM), and gilts. Fresh loins were evaluated for s...

Migaki-nishin is a Japanese term that refers to dried herring fillets. It is widely consumed in Japan due to its characteristic flavor enhancing properties. This study was conducted to investigate the changes in chemical and sensory properties of migaki-nishin during drying. Chemical analyses showed that extractive nitrogen and amount of peptides increased significantly (P < 0.05) up to the 8th...

Consumption of honey has increased in recent years. This included trigona as a new market that is developing. research was conducted to (1) identify the consumption patterns for Indonesian honey, and (2) sensory attributes considered ideal by consumers which influence consumer acceptance satisfaction. There were 2 stages activity this study, including online survey 225 respondents testing sampl...

The drinkable yogurt marketplace is a competitive and growing category in the dairy industry. Understanding sensory differences is critical for understanding the product, and ultimately, consumer preference. The objective of this study was to identify and define the sensory characteristics of commercial drinkable yogurts and link these specific sensory attributes to consumer preferences among C...

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of three different packing methods including modified atmosphere, vacuum and common packaging on chemical, microbial and sensorial quality and shelf life of hot smoked Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) during storage at refrigerated temperature. For hot smoking, rainbow trout were gutted and cut in butterfly form and washed. Fish gutted br...

Maillard reaction products (MRPs) were prepared from mushroom hydrolysate (MH) by heating with d-xylose and l-cysteine at various temperatures (100 °C-140 °C) for 2 h at a pH of 7.4. The sensory characteristics of MH and MRPs were evaluated by panelists and volatile compounds were analyzed by GC/MS. Additionally, partial least squares regression (PLSR) was performed to analyze the correlation b...
