Production and shelf life of restructured fish meat binded by microbial transglutaminase

Extension of Trout Fish Shelf Life by Ozone Treatment

Quality of steak restructured from beef trimmings containing microbial transglutaminase and impacted by freezing and grading by fat level

OBJECTIVE The objective of this research was to evaluate the physico-chemical, microbiological and sensorial qualities of restructured steaks processed from beef trimmings (grade I and II) and frozen beef (fresh beef as control and frozen beef). METHODS Beef trimmings from commercial butcher were collected, designated into 4 treatments differing in beef trimmings grade and freezing, processed...

Modelling of microbial activity and prediction of shelf life for packed fresh fish.

Prediction of shelf life based on growth of specific spoilage organisms (SSO) in model substrates was studied. The effect of CO2 on the growth kinetics for Photobacterium phosphoreum and Shewanella putrefaciens was quantified and modelled. Results showed that microbial spoilage of packed cod stored with various concentrations of CO2 was accurately predicted from the effect of CO2 on P. phosphor...

Microbial challenges of poultry meat production.

Food safety and shelf-life are both important microbial concerns in relation to broiler meat production. Focus is mainly placed on the absence or control of potentially pathogenic microbes such as Salmonella spp. and Campylobacter spp. but, from the commercial point of view, other spoilage bacteria also play a role as potential threats. Regarding food safety, the primary target should be the pr...

Production of Nanocapsules Using Salvia Leriifolia Leaf Extract and Assessing Effects of the Extract and Nanocapsules Containing the Extract on Microbial Properties in Sausages During the Shelf Life

Background and Objectives: Researches have shown that converting bioactive compounds to nanoscales increases their effectiveness due to their size surface area. Therefore, use of antimicrobial compounds at nanoscales can progress their effectiveness, decreasing their necessary concentrations. Salvia leriifolia, with valuable secondary metabolites such as flavonoids and alkaloids, includes a hig...
