The purpose of this study was to evaluate the storage conditions as a way to increase the safety of fermented sausage, with the specific objectives to investigate the effect of storage time, pH value, water activity and microbiological status (Lactobacillus spp. and Enterobacteriaceae) on the levels of Yersinia enterocolitica in fermented sausages. For this experiment, meat was divided into fou...

In this research, the chemical and microbiological characteristics of white brined cheeses produced with five differen starter cultures, namely: traditional kefir grain, commercial kefir, commercial yogurt, traditional yogurt and commercial cheese starter culture, were examined during 60- day ripening period. Results of statistical analysis showed that the type of starter culture had a signific...

Undefined mesophilic mixed (DL-type) starter cultures are composed of predominantly Lactococcus lactis subspecies and 1-10% Leuconostoc spp. The composition of the Leuconostoc population in the starter culture ultimately affects the characteristics and the quality of the final product. The scientific basis for the taxonomy of dairy relevant leuconostocs can be traced back 50 years, and no docum...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of two different levels of starter protein and amounts of milk fed on animal health, fecal score, immune responses and microbial population in the rumen of Holstein male calves. Two levels of starter crude protein (17 and 20% of starter dry matter (DM) and two levels of milk fed (7 and 10% of body weight) were combined in a 2 × 2 factorial exp...

Dairy siphovirus φLmd1, which infects starter culture isolate Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. dextranicum A1, showed resistance to pasteurization and was able to grow on 3 of the 4 commercial starter cultures tested. Its 26,201-bp genome was similar to that of Leuconostoc phage of vegetable origin but not to those of dairy phages infecting Lactococcus.

o A food-grade cloning system for application in food safety and food quality arena. o A system where genes for key metabolic and industrial traits can be under-/over-expressed. o Characterisation of the phage resistance determinants for food-grade improvement of starter cultures. o Identification of the PyrR gene as a target for the development of bacteriophage resistance strategies in starter...

Determination of the starter torque-speed diagram is a major task in the design or selection of a proper gas turbine starter. In this paper, the maximum power of the MGT-40 gas turbine starter was calculated based on the dynamics of the rotor, start-up logic, and compressor map. In a recent research, the pressure ratio was assumed as a linear function of the rotor speed and the required starter...

the harmful effects of many chemical food preservatives are well established, so this has triggered interest in natural methods of preservation. monolaurin, a monoester of lauric acid, founds naturally in some foods and has various antiviral and antibacterial activities. evaluation of the effects of monolaurin separately and in combination with lactic acid bacteria (lab) starter culture on grow...
