the quality control of microbial contamination in meats consumed in restaurants of university of tehran was taken into consideration. for this reason, 100 sterile samples were taken from 4 central restaurants, from may until october 1995, the samples were as follows: 12 samples of meat, 50 samples of chopped meat and 38 samples of minced meat. all of the samples were examined to search for meso...

The experiment was performed with a total of 180 day-old, ROSS 308 combination, meat-type hybrid chickens that were divided according to sex into the control group (C1 and C2 with 30 and 30 , respectively) and two experimental groups: GLY-P1 and P2 with pure glycerol (30 and 30 ), and GLY-R1 and R2 with raw glycerol (30 and 30 ). The chickens received three feeding mixtures during the experimen...

The pig (Sus scrofa) mitochondrial genome was targeted to design short (15-30 nucleotides) DNA markers that would be suitable for biosensor-based hybridization detection of target DNA. Short DNA markers are reported to survive harsh conditions in which longer ones are degraded into smaller fragments. The whole swine mitochondrial-genome was in silico digested with AluI restriction enzyme. ...

background : in every society, meat costs the most expensive parts of food basket, meat consumption is noticeably different in poor and rich societies. since meat intake has been associated with several chronic impairments, reduction of red meat in the diet has been   recommended by several health information services. however it is not clear yet to what extent the employed policies has been ef...

BACKGROUND A bacteriological assessment of the environment and food products at different stages of processing was conducted during the manufacture of ready-to-eat (RTE) chicken franks, chicken bologna and bacon at a large meat processing plant in Trinidad, West Indies. METHODS Samples of air, surfaces (swabs), raw materials, and in-process and finished food products were collected during two...

Iron-deficient young women who are at risk of anaemia should be advised to eat red meat, a good food source of iron. However, red meat is known to elicit negative attitudes among young women, which could lead to low meat consumption. Several factors can contribute to meat attitudes. We therefore hypothesised that a good predictor of attitudes towards meat could be a positive affective component...

this study was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of long term ageing on toughness andresilient modulus of asphalt concrete mixtures containing electric arc and basic oxygen furnacesteel slags. after initial evaluation of the properties of steel slags using x-ray diffraction andscanning electric microscope, eleven sets of laboratory mixtures were prepared. each set wastreated replacing ...

Soils are arguably the most microbially diverse ecosystems. Physicochemical properties have been associated with the maintenance of this diversity. Yet, the role of microbial substrate specialization is largely unexplored since substrate utilization studies have focused on simple substrates, not the complex mixtures representative of the soil environment. Here we examine the exometabolite compo...

The present study was conducted to analyze the physico-chemical and colour properties of emu meat. The leg, back and breast portion along with a uniform mix of these three cuts were taken for evaluation of emu meat quality in respect to various physico-chemical parameters. The pH of breast meat was found significantly (P<0.05) lower than meat from leg and back portion. Water holding capacity of...

Meteorites are consensually considered to be involved in the origin of life on this Planet for several functions and at different levels: (i) as providers of impact energy during their passage through the atmosphere; (ii) as agents of geodynamics, intended both as starters of the Earth's tectonics and as activators of local hydrothermal systems upon their fall; (iii) as sources of organic mater...
