One problems that humanity must solve today search non-traditional protein sources their popularisation in food market as alternative meat protein, which most popular. Nowadays, vegetarianism widespread system health-improving nutrition. According this s...

recently, real-time pcr in combination with pma has successfully been applied to discriminate between live escherichia coli o157:h7 and dead bacteria killed by cumin, clove, oregano and cinnamon eos. in this study, initial experiments were performed in order to elucidate the minimum bactericidal concentration of zataria multiflora eo on e. coli o157:h7, salmonella enterica and listeria monocyto...

the objective of this study was the evaluation of ph, color parameters [lightness (l*), redness (a*), yellowness (b*), chroma (c*), hue (h*), a*/b* ratio, and color differences (δe)], mb, metmb, oxymb, deomb and whc in minced meat. three types of meat ( beef, camel and ostrich) and four mincing processes (three using a grinder with 7.5, 4 and 3 mm diameter holes in the plate, and a fourth in wh...

Quercus persica has a natural antimicrobial and antioxidant properties that are effective on pathogens and retard lipid oxidation. The aim of this study is using two concentrations of free and encapsulated forms (with two covers: maltodextrin + carrageenan and gelatin + carrageenan) of Q. persica extract (0.5% and 1%) in order to improve the shelf life of minced kilka at the refrigeration tempe...

This study was aimed at developing value-added low sodium chloride (NaCl), phosphate-free restructured patties using minced channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) belly flap meat. The effect of microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) and nonmeat proteins (isolated soy protein, ISP, and whey protein concentrate, WPC; 1.7%, respectively) alone and in combination were evaluated to improve cooking yield...

OBJECTIVES To determine the frequency of resistance of Staphylococcus aureus to various antimicrobial agents, and the relationship between antimicrobial resistance of the isolates and carriage of plasmids. DESIGN A random sampling of milk and meat samples was carried out. SETTING Milk was collected from various dairy co-operative societies in Nairobi and Kiambu districts. Minced meat sample...

Surgical intervention is sometimes needed to create a conduit from the abdominal wall to the bladder for self-catheterization. We developed a method for tissue engineering a conduit for bladder emptying without in vitro cell culturing as a one-step procedure. In a porcine animal model bladder, wall tissue was excised and the mucosa was minced to small particles. The particles were attached to a...

In 1998, 21 inhabitants of a German nursing home fell ill with acute gastroenteritis after consumption of minced beef heart (P. Graf and L. Bader, Epidemiol. Bull. 41:327-329, 2000). Two residents died during hospital treatment. Seventeen Clostridium perfringens strains were collected from two different dishes and from patients' stool samples and autopsy materials. A majority of these isolates ...

INTRODUCTION Resistant bacteria are a well-known public health problem. This study was conducted to investigate the prevalence and genetic characteristics of extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing enterobacteria, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) in mixed minced meat from pork and beef. METHODS One hundred samples of mixed mi...

Human articular cartilage samples were retrieved from the resected material of patients undergoing total knee replacement. Samples underwent automated controlled freezing at various stages of preparation: as intact articular cartilage discs, as minced articular cartilage, and as chondrocytes immediately after enzymatic isolation from fresh articular cartilage. Cell viability was examined using ...
