Microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) was investigated to determine whether it was an effective binding agent for the processing of low-quality pork loins. MTGase especially promoted the coagulation of myosin heavy chain (MHC). However, the effect of MTGase on MHC from low-quality meat was less than that from the normal meat when the reaction time was not enough. The breaking strength of the heat...

because of inhibitory effect, selected probiotic lactobacilli may be used as biological preservative, so, the aim of this study was to present some data on lactobacillus as probiotic bacteria. lactic acid bacteria were isolated from sausage. each isolate of lactobacillus species was identified by biochemical tests and comparing their sugar fermentation pattern. antibacterial activities were don...

This study evaluated the effects of different flours (tapioca, wheat, sago and potato) on the physicochemical properties of duck sausage. The examined physicochemical properties included proximate composition, cooking yield, color (lightness, redness and yellowness), folding, texture profile (hardness, elasticity, cohesiveness, gumminess and chewiness) and sensory properties. The study found th...

The authors are affiliated with the Dept. of Animal Science, Iowa State Univ., Ames, IA 50011-3150. Direct inquiries to Dr. D. U. Ahn. ABSTRACT Irradiation dose affected production of volatiles in vacuumand aerobic-packaged cooked pork sausage, but its effect on TBARS was minor. Storage increased production of volatiles and changed their composition only in aerobic-packaged sausage. Among volat...

The aims of this study were to verify the presence of Toxoplasma gondii cysts in fresh pork sausage and the presence of antibodies against T. gondii in serum of workers from factories with Municipal Inspection Service, in Londrina, PR, Brazil. 149 samples of sausage were collected from eight factories and blood samples from 47 workers. We also took information about the practices that were adop...

The purpose of this study was to assess red beet as a natural colorant in emulsified pork sausage and to investigate the effect of red beet on quality characteristics of emulsified pork sausage during 20 d of cold storage. Red beet was prepared as a powder and a substitute with sodium nitrite at 0.5% and 1.0% levels in emulsified pork sausage. Red beet significantly increased the moisture conte...

Context. Flaring coronal loops are often observed in microwave and sometimes in soft X-rays, as extended structures of variable cross-section or width. The quasi-periodic pulsations associated with flaring coronal loops have been interpreted in terms of standing, fast sausage magnetoacoustic modes and suggested for the diagnostics of the magnetic field outside the oscillating loop. Aims. We inv...

Petrovská klobása is a traditional dry fermented sausage produced in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. Formation of nine biogenic amines was determined in three sausage groups produced from hot deboned (A1) and cold meat (B1, B3) during drying and ripening in traditional room (A1, B1) and in industrial ripening chamber (B3). Dansyl chloride derived amines were analysed by high-performance l...
