Biotechnology for porcine products and its effect on meat products

چکیده
Recombinant DNA technology has provided a mechanism for large scale production of somatotropin (growth hormone). There is no question that exogenous administration of somatotropin (ST) to pigs significantly improves efficiency of growth and carcass composition. Microinjecting foreign DNA into the pronucleus of fertilized ova is the predominant method employed to produce transgenic animals. The goal of producing transgenic pigs is to improve productive traits and carcass composition, enhance animal health and produce useful human health products. With greater emphasis on lean tissue accretion and less lipid deposition, either exogenous administration of ST or transgene technology can be used as a tool to maximize genetic potential for protein accretion and/or lipid depletion. The magnitudes of response for protein accretion and lipid depletion differ between these two biotechnological strategies. However, both offer means for progress in meeting consumer demands for lean meat. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd

Study of antioxidant effects of alcoholic extract of Mentha longifoliStudy of Antioxidant Effects of Alcoholic Extract of Mentha longifolia on Fat Oxidation of High-Consumption Meat Products in Tabrizoxidation of high consumption meat products in Tab
Background: Fat peroxidation is one of the problems in food processing, cooking, and storage. Oxidative changes cause pathological effects in biological systems and reduce the taste and quality and ultimately spoil food. Using aromatic plants and vegetables with antioxidant properties can play an important role in preventing these adverse effects. The antioxidant effects of Mentha longifolia ha...
متن کاملThe Effect of Frying Process on the Level of Malondialdehyde in Different Meat Products
Background: Frying is one of the popular cooking methods for the preparation of food especially meat products. However, this process has some adverse effects, such as lipid oxidation that results in deterioration and rancidity of food during preparation and storage. Malondialdehyde (MDA) as a secondary product of oxidation is commonly used as an index of rancidity in food products. However...

Nitrate with the chemical formula NO3- is one of the forms of nitrogen in the environment that plays an important role in the nitrogen cycle. Vegetables, water and meat are important sources of nitrate. Nitrate is made in the body through the arginine-NO pathway and enters the body through various sources. Oral nitrate is converted to nitrite (NO2-) by bacteria when it enters the mouth, and nit...
متن کاملDetermination of Adulteration and Authenticity of Meat and Meat Products Using Chemical Properties and PCR Technique in Tabriz
Background & objectives: Nowadays, consumers are demanding more accurate and clear food information than ever before, and meat products are no exception. Given the relatively high cost of raw meat, the possibility of adulteration is not unthinkable. The importance of detecting fraud meat products is due to the inclusion of other types of meat or cheap carcass components or the non-compliance of...
