Physical Quality Duck Jerky with Liquid Smoke Sonication

Sonication-assisted synthesis of large, high-quality mercury thiolate single crystals directly from liquid mercury.

The synthetic formation of mercury thiolates has been known for almost 200 years. These compounds are usually formed by a slow reaction of mercury salts with thiolates or disulfides to produce small (up to 1 μm), plate-like crystals of Hg(S-R)(2). Herein we show that such mercury thiolates can be formed directly from liquid mercury via sonication with neat thiols. The process not only produces ...

Can sonication enhance release from liquid-core capsules with a hydrogel membrane?

The objective is to investigate the influence of sonication on the mechanical and release properties of hydrogel capsules. A new fabrication process is developed to fabricate millimetric capsules made of a highly-viscous liquid core protected by a thin hyperelastic alginate membrane. At high intensities and/or long exposure times, sonication can lead to the capsule rupture, because it induces f...

Effects of Replacing Sucrose with Various Sugar Alcohols on Quality Properties of Semi-dried Jerky

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of replacing sucrose with sugar alcohols (sorbitol, glycerol and xylitol) on the quality properties of semi-dried jerky. Total 7 treatments of jerkies were prepared as follows: control with sucrose, and treatments with 2.5 and 5.0% of sucrose replaced by each sugar alcohol, respectively. Drying yield, pH, water activity, moisture conten...

Response of Listeria monocytogenes to liquid smoke.

AIMS To investigate the effect of liquid smoke on growth, survival, proteomic pattern and haemolytic potential of Listeria monocytogenes. METHODS AND RESULTS Growth and survival curves were recorded in brain-heart infusion broth supplemented with three concentrations of liquid smoke. L. monocytogenes growth was inhibited in the presence of 15 microg ml(-1) phenol while a rapid decrease in cel...
