AIMS Four local small-scale factories were studied to determine the sources of enterococci in traditional fermented sausages. METHODS AND RESULTS Different points during the production of a traditional fermented sausage type (fuet) were evaluated. Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR was used to type 596 Enterococcus isolates from the final products, the initial meat batter, the casi...

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of different levels of pumpkin on the quality characteristics of chicken sausages. The pumpkin was incorporated at three different levels viz. 6, 12 and 18 percent replacing lean meat in the formulation. The products were analyzed for various physicochemical and sensory attributes. pH, emulsion stability, cooking yield, crude protein, ethe...

The Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) is used to solve the Burgers-Huxley non-linear differential equations. Three case study problems of Burgers-Huxley are solved using the HPM and the exact solutions are obtained. The rapid convergence towards the exact solutions of HPM is numerically shown. Results show that the HPM is efficient method with acceptable accuracy to solve the Burgers-Huxley eq...

Due to the increasing pace of people's lives, demand for convenient food is increasing. An example such are sausages. Sausages a meat product, so in their composition vast majority should be high-quality meat. Another characteristic sausages homogenization and soft texture. In addition, it product that has been designed with desired sensory qualities both hot cold. For these reasons, among othe...

Nitrite has been traditionally used to control Clostridium botulinum in cured meat products. However, in the case of dry fermented sausages, environmental factors such as pH, aw and the competitive microbiota may exert a more relevant role than nitrite in the inhibition of the growth and toxin production by C. botulinum. In this challenge test study, two varieties of Mediterranean dry sausages ...

In this work, the G G        -expansion method is proposed for constructing more general exact solutions of two general form of Burgers type equation arising in fluid mechanics namely, Burgers-Korteweg-de Vries (Burgers-KdV) and Burger-Fisher equations. Our work is motivated by the fact that the G G        -expansion method provides not only more general forms of solutions but als...

In this paper, we deal with both nonviscous and viscous Burgers type equations on a bounded interval. We study the global exact controllability of these equations when we have three controls: one control is the right member of the equation and is constant with respect to the space variable, the two others are the boundary values. In a first time, we are interested in nonviscous Burgers type equ...

The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility computer vision system (CVS) application in fat content estimation for different types fermented sausages. Four local sausages with contents were studied: Njeguška, Kulen, Pirotska and tea sausage. Results obtained CVS-estimated content were compared results traditional chemical analysis. Relative errors of estimation ...

Waves with constant, nonzero linearized frequency form an interesting class of nondispersive waves whose properties differ from those of nondispersive hyperbolic waves. We propose an inviscid Burgers-Hilbert equation as a model equation for such waves, and give a dimensional argument to show that it models Hamiltonian surface waves with constant frequency. Using the method of multiple scales, w...
