Our aim was to investigate whether fish consumption is associated with the consumption of other healthy foods. The study population consisted of 2605 men and 3199 women from the nationally representative Health 2000 survey and 114 professional fishermen and 114 fishermen's wives (the Fishermen substudy) in Finland. Dietary data were collected using a calibrated (i.e. determined to have relative...

a study was undertaken to determine effect of nutritional value of melon husk (mh) and palm oil slurry (pos) on quality of chevon obtained from west african dwarf (wad) goats fed finishing diets as follows: diet 1(0% mh, 0% pos); diet 2 (50% mh, 0% pos); diet 3 (0% mh, 50% pos) and diet 4 (50% mh, 50% pos), along with panicum maximum as basal diet for all dietary treatment groups. after 60 days...

In 1988 six men were referred to St Paul's Eye Hospital after the onset of acutely painful, red eyes while at work at a local sausage casing factory. These patients prepared sheep intestine for sausage skin manufacture. Ocular examination showed bilateral blepharospasm, photophobia and lacrimation, intense conjunctival injection, and superficial punctate corneal erosions. There were no other ab...

This study was conducted to develop a method for improving tenderness and overall qualities of tough wild boar meat used to dry sausage production with direct addition of raw pineapple (Ananas comosus), mango (Mangifera indica), kiwifruit fuzzy kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa), or ginger (Zingiber officinale roscoe ginger rhizome) juices contained a plant proteolytic enzyme. Dry-sausages were subject...

A 43-year-old female presented at the accident and emergency department of Princess Marina Hospital, Gaborone, Botswana. She reported a deep dull aching pain of two years duration in the right iliac fossa that has been progressively becoming worse. Ultrasound revealed a large sausage like cystic mass extending from the pelvis up to the medial aspect of the ascending colon. CT scan showed a larg...

The aim of this study is to identify and characterise potential autochthonous functional starter cultures in homemade horsemeat sausage. The dominant microflora in the samples of horsemeat sausage were lactic acid bacteria (LAB), followed by micrococci. Among the LAB, Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis and Lactobacillus plantarum were the dominant species, and since the first is not common in ferme...

The objective of this investigation was to evaluate the possibility of substituting Amaranthus pigments for nitrates in the of manufacture pork sausage. Five treatments of pork sausages (5% fat) with two levels of sodium nitrite (0 and 0.015%), or three levels (0.1%, 0.2% and 0.3%) of pigments extracted from red Amaranthus were produced. The addition of Amaranthus pigments resulted in the signi...

Pipek P., Rohlík B.-A., Lojková A., Staruch L. (2010): Suppression of mould growth on dry sausages. Czech J. Food Sci., 28: 258–263. The effects of two antifungal agents (natamycin, potassium sorbate) were compared on the mould growth on the surface of dry sausages (both heat treated and fermented). The mould growth was studied on fermented sausage Prešporska saláma and heat treated dry sausage...

We study two objects concerning the Wiener sausage among Poissonian obstacles. The first is the asymptotics for the replica overlap, which is the intersection of two independent Wiener sausages. We show that it is asymptotically equal to their union. This result confirms that the localizing effect of the media is so strong as to completely determine the motional range of particles. The second i...
