Meat products, especially fish meat, are very susceptible to lipid oxidation and microbial spoilage. In this study, first, gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of Zataria multiflora essential oil (ZEO) components was done and then two concentrations of ZEO, (1% and 2%) and two concentrations of grape seed extract (GSE), (0.5% and 1%) were used in carboxymethyl cellulos...

A fully randomized experimental design, with three hundred and fifty-one days-old Japanese quails located into the seven treatment groups five replicates ten quail each were used in current study. The treatments whereas basal diet basis corn soybean meal (100 200 and) of vitamin E, sesamine thymoquinone. At end study (35 days old) two from pen selected, weighted, slaughtered. carcass percentage...

Edible films and coatings offer great potential to support sustainable food production by lowering packaging waste, extending product shelf life, actively preserving quality. Using edible containing plant extracts with antioxidant antibacterial characteristics could help enhance the quality life of fish products. In this study, combination effect chitosan beetroot, curcumin, garlic on biogenic ...

background: due to high content of unsaturated fatty acids, trout is susceptible to oxidative spoilage. in this study, the effects of thymus vulgaris essential oil (eo) and extract on oxidative stability of cooked rainbow trout fillet during four months frozen storage period were investigated. methods: three groups of fish fillets were treated with thyme eo and three other groups were treated w...

The scarcity of conventional feed resources and their high price has necessitated exploring cost effective non-conventional ingredients to be utilized to replace the conventional ones like hatchery waste (HW). The chemical composition of HW has revealed its nutrient composition especially higher level of fat (1821%), which pose threat to spoil the quality of of product through rancidity. Hatche...

Purpose: To compare the serum malondialdehyde (MDA) and total antioxidant status in women with preeclampsia and normal pregnancy in our environment. Materials & Methods: This was a 3-year, cross-sectional, case control study of 100 preeclamptic and 200 normotensive pregnant women at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, Nigeria. The study protocol was rev...

The impairment of synthesis in vitro of ascorbic acid by liver extracts from animals deprived of vitamin E (1, 2) is due to the inhibition of the enzyme(s) located in the microsomes (3) which catalyzes the oxidation of n-gulonolactone to L-ascorbic acid. This enzyme or enzymic complex will be termed gulonolactone oxidase. Concurrent with the inhibition of gulonolactone oxidase, a material is fo...

This study was carried out to determine the effect of adding ginger powder at different levels (0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0%) ration on performance, blood parameters and meat quality characteristics male Japanese quails. 48 quail (Coturnix coturnix Japonica) 28 days age were used in study. The experiment for 21 4 replications a cage with 12 quails each treatment groups consisting rations containing powd...

  This study was carried out to investigate the rate of lipid oxidation in fresh rainbow trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss) and in the sticks treated by (2.5% w/v) sodium acetate (NaA), sodium citrate (NaC) and sodium lactate (NaL). The pH value, free fatty acid (FFA), thiobarbituric acid (TBA) and sensory evaluation (odor, flavor and color) were determined on 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 days of storage. The r...
