Lactic acid concentration as an indicator of acceptability in refrigerated or freeze-thawed ground beef.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lactic acid concentrations increased in refrigerated and freeze-thawed anaerobically stored ground beef. Bacterial counts were higher in refrigerated samples, but the ratios of gram-positive bacteria in refrigerated and freeze-thawed samples were the same. No differences in appearance or odor between refrigerated and freeze-thawed samples were noted after 2 days of aerobic storage. Initial lactic acid concentration can be used to predict the shelf life of frozen beef.

The effect of meat marinating with lactic and citric acid on some physicochemical and electrophoretic pattern of beef burger
Background: Meat products may be unacceptably tough because of the high connective tissue content of meats used in their manufacture. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was using meat acid marination method on some physicochemical and sensory characteristics of beef burgers. METHODS: Meat was marinated in three concentrations (0.5%, 1% and 1.5%) of lactic and citric acid solutions (1:4 w/v) at 4 ...
متن کاملRelationship between lactic acid concentration and bacterial spoilage in ground beef.
Lactic acid concentration correlated with organoleptic spoilage of refrigerated, coarsely ground beef stored in casings with low oxygen permeability. The samples were assayed over time for lactic acid concentration, total aerobic plate count, percentage of gram-positive organisms, and pH. Lactic acid increased in all samples, as did the bacterial counts and percentage of gram-positive organisms...

In the present study, the effect of different concentrations of cell-free supernatant (CFS; 10.00 and 35.00 mg g-1) of Lactobacillus salivarius (Ls-BU2) on chemical, microbial and sensorial specifications of ground beef stored under the refrigerated condition was investigated. The antibacterial activity of CFS on Escherichia coli was also assessed. According to agar...
متن کاملEffects of multiple freezing and refrigerator thawing cycles on the quality changes of sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)
The freezing-thawing effect on the meat quality of whole, gutted and fillets of sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) were investigated. It was aimed to investigate the changes in the meat quality of whole, gutted and fillets of sea bass in multiple frozen (-18±2ºC) and thawed cycles in refrigerated conditions (4±2°C). The meat quality assessment of the sea bass groups (whole, gutted and fillets) sub...

The effects of growth of two strains of lactic acid bacteria on microbial flora of ground beef after packaging in air permeable packs were studied under workshop conditions. The strains isolated from dairy products were added to ground beef at a density of 104 CFU/g after identification and antibiosis test against indicator bacteria (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus). The two strains ...
