The aim of the present study was to examine the association of red meat, white meat and processed meat consumption in Irish adults with dietary quality. A cross-sectional study of subjects, randomly selected using the electoral register, estimated habitual food intakes using a 7 d food diary in a nationally representative sample of 662 men and 717 women (not pregnant or lactating) aged 18-64 ye...

Accumulating epidemiologic evidence indicates that high consumption of red meat and of processed meat may increase the risk of colorectal cancer. We quantitatively assessed the association between red meat and processed meat consumption and the risk of colorectal cancer in a meta-analysis of prospective studies published through March 2006. Random-effects models were used to pool study results ...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: In vitro meat Myocyte culturing Meat substitutes Meat produced in vitro has been proposed as a humane, safe and environmentally beneficial alternative to slaughtered animal flesh as a source of nutritional muscle tissue. The basic methodology of an in vitro meat production system (IMPS) involves culturing muscle tissue in a liquid medium on a large scale. Each co...

Much of the evidence presented in this paper is based on epidemiological studies investigating associations between meat intake and health/disease outcomes. Not all studies define what is meant by meat and, where definitions are offered, they are not always the same, which can make comparisons between studies difficult. Some studies include poultry under the definition of meat, while others exc...

This paper investigates the effects of nonazeotropic refrigerant mixtures (NARMs) as replacement of CFCs. The thermodynamic propert1es of NARM R22/R142b which is harmless to ozone layer are analyzed. The tests about water-to-water heat pump and dual-evaporator refrigerator-freezer using R22/R142b as alternative to R12 are introduced. The test results show R22/Rl42b is of energy conserving effec...

We applied a mechanistically based model to predict the effects of complex mixtures as occurring in the field on the survival of Daphnia magna. We validated the model by comparing predicted survival with observed survival of in situ exposed laboratory cultured daphnids to polluted surface waters, in which over 90 chemical contaminants were measured. Using the chemical composition of the surface...

Targeted mass spectrometry comprises a set of methods able to quantify protein analytes in complex mixtures with high accuracy and sensitivity. These methods, e.g., Selected Reaction Monitoring (SRM) and SWATH MS, use specific mass spectrometric coordinates (assays) for reproducible detection and quantification of proteins. In this protocol, we describe how to analyze, in a targeted manner, dat...

the study evaluated the body weight during growth (bwg), body weight at slaughter (bws), breast meat yield (bmyg), percent breast meat yield (bmy) and breast meat quality (colour and drip loss) of genetically featherless (scsc) broilers compared to their feathered sibs under hot conditions. two hundred featherless chicks and 200 feathered sibs were reared under hot conditions in two rooms (aver...

Local breeds are known to possess favorable characteristics such as resistance to some pathogens, superior meat flavor and taste and high dressing percentage. Due to these characteristics, higher consumption of meat product from local chickens has been on increase in countries such as East Asia and Europe and consumers are willing to pay premium price. There are four locally available chicken b...
