This study was done to evaluate the antimicrobial and antioxidant effects of nisin Z (0.02 %) and sodium benzoate (1.5 and 2.5 %) in vacuum packed Caspian Kutum (Rutilus frisii) fillet stored at 4°C. Microbial changes [aerobic plate counts (APC), psychrotrophic counts (PTC) and lactic acid bacteria] and chemical indices [peroxide value and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N)] were determined ...

The effects of chitosan (2%) coating combined with green tea extract (GTE) (1%) on the quality of tiger-tooth croaker (Otolithes ruber) fillets including chemical, microbiological, texture, color and sensory properties during 16 days of refrigerated storage was investigated. The color changes were significantly retared, and the texture parameteres and sensory scores were significantly improved ...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effects of propolis on biochemical and microbiological parameters in muscle tissues of carp (cyprinus carpio, linnaeus 1758) exposed to arsenic. a sublethal concentration of arsenic (0.01 ppm) and/or 0.01 ppm propolis were administered to fish for seven days. biochemical parameters [ph, lactic acid, total volatile basic nitrogen (tvb-...

Meatballs were coated by gelatin-based mixes incorporated with potassium sorbate and rosemary extract. Coated samples evaluated free fatty acids (FFAs), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) content. In addition, texture profile analysis (TPA) was performed to evaluate the textural features of meatballs. Uncoated sample as control along 3 other d...

The quality of pork meat is vital since it one the most essential sources proteins and other nutrients. Near-infrared spectroscopy via colorimetric sensor array (NIRS-CSA) technology as a novel approach combined with multivariate calibrations was proposed to quantitatively evaluate total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) an indicator freshness in pork. Using nine chemoselective dyes, CSA initiall...
