The effect of dry salting during the cold-smoking process was evaluated on Atlantic salmon initially stored in refrigerated seawater (RSW) or ice. A 2D mathematical model developed from first principles, simulating heat and mass transfer at increasing duration. This validated using experimental values compared with empirical Zugarramurdi Lupín. predicted were used for water activity prediction ...

The aim of this study was to compare different DNA-extraction methods and selective enrichment broths for their effectiveness to detect Salmonella Typhimurium in artificially inoculated swine feces samples (100 CFU/ g) by polymerase chain reaction. After enrichment in Rappaport-Vassiliadis, selenite cystine or MüllerKauffmann tetrathionate, aliquots were used for DNA extraction by three differe...

The effects of cosolvents on the solubility and hydration of small nonpolar solutes in solution has been investigated using a combination of molecular dynamics simulation and Widom particle insertion calculations. Results were obtained for helium, neon, argon, and methane solutes in solutions of sodium chloride, ammonium sulfate, calcium chloride, ammonium acetate, tetramethylammonium chloride,...

Sodium chloride salting-in and microwave irradiation were combined to drive thermolysin molecules into mesoporous support to obtain efficiently immobilized enzyme. When the concentration of sodium chloride was 3 M and microwave power was 40 W, 93.2% of the enzyme was coupled to the support by 3 min, and the maximum specific activity of the immobilized enzyme was 17,925.1 U mg(-1). This was a 4....

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is an economically and nutritionally important cultured fish species (Dondero et al. 2004). About 40–50% of farm-reared Atlantic salmon reaches the consumer as traditional cold-smoked gourmet food products (Birkeland and Bjerkeng 2005); indeed, a number of countries have long traditions of producing and consuming smoked food products (Birkeland and Skara 2008). The...

Duck eggs are an animal food that can be consumed. In community life, generally there two ways of salting, namely the first with water, salt, and bricks. The process mixing water salt still uses manual method, by hand. Salt is a major factor in salting which functions as preservative to prevent spoilage eggs, thereby increasing their shelf life. order become salted general, preservation. method...

The hypocotyl hook of the lettuce (Lactuca sativa cv. Grand Rapids) seedling is stimulated to a high degree of curvature through a synergistic interaction of ethylene and gibberellic acid in the light. Presentation of various inorganic salts to the seedlings caused extensive alteration of the hormone-induced curvatures, with ammonium and sulfate being the most stimulatory of curvature, and pota...
