The high incidence of colon cancer in affluent societies has often been attributed to a high fat diet and, more in particular, the consumption of meat. The association of the consumption of meat and the intake of fat with risk of colon cancer was investigated in a prospective cohort study on diet and cancer, which is being conducted in the Netherlands since 1986 among 120,852 men and women, age...

Microbiological examination of food is one the most important control processes in production and trade. In that way, we provide safe on market, but also consumption foods prevention diseases can be transmitted by contaminated with microorganisms. The aim this study was to examine microbiological status minced meat preparations period from years 2014 2020. examinations included Salmonella spp.,...

Abstract Applying value-adding techniques to fish filleting co-products is rendered difficult due their high susceptibility lipid oxidation, microbial spoilage, and amine formation. In this study, a recyclable dipping strategy was developed investigated for its ability stabilize herring ( Clupea harengus ) (head, backbone, caudal fin, intestines, belly flap, skin, in some cases roe) against oxi...

A robust 5' nuclease (TaqMan) real-time PCR was developed and validated in-house for the specific detection of Salmonella in food. The assay used specifically designed primers and a probe target within the ttrRSBCA locus, which is located near the Salmonella pathogenicity island 2 at centisome 30.5. It is required for tetrathionate respiration in Salmonella. The assay correctly identified all 1...

The effect of moderate pressure at subzero temperature on natural microflora of minced cod, salmon, pork and beef meat was studied. Pressure of 193 MPa at –20 °C caused the reduction of total bacterial count in pork and beef meat by 1.1 and 0.6 log cycles, respectively, and by about 1.5 log cycles in fish meat. Under these conditions the psychrophilic and psychrotrophic bacteria were below the ...

A cDNA fragment encoding the cysteine protease inhibitor, cystatin, was cloned from pineapple (Ananas comosus) stem. This clone was constructed in a fusion vector and was easily over-expressed in Escherichia coli; satisfactory over-expression of non-fusion cystatin was achieved after an additional start codon was inserted prior to its coding sequence. Both recombinant cystatins were predominate...

conclusions the results of the present study show a favorable inhibitory effect of artemisias spicigera essential oil on fungal growth, especially aspergillus species. according to the results, antifungal components of artemisias spicigera in different forms are used to prevent fungal pollution. materials and methods two types of media dichloran 18% glycerol (dg18) agar and dichloran rosebengal...

1. A strain of neurovaccine virus was cultivated in a medium consisting of minced chick embryo suspended in Tyrode's solution. 2. The virus upon cultivation apparently lost none of its essential characteristics. 3. The culture virus can be preserved and stored for long periods of time. Furthermore, the preserved virus can be used to initiate fresh cultures.

Ingredients such as ascorbic acid used to preserve redness of the raw meat, and carnosine and ribose used for flavor improvement have been incorporated into minced meats to increase consumer acceptance. The objective of this study was to investigate the possible synergistic effect of ascorbic acid, carnosine, and ribose on the sensory and physico-chemical characteristics of minced bison meat. S...
