the purpose of this study is to produce an oil-in-water nano-emulsion by ultrasonication. casein combined with inulin used as continuous phase, while dispersed phase consisted of fish oil. the size of the nano-emulsion and the ph of nano-emulsion were characterized. ultrasound has been used for preparing emulsion by 24 khz intensity for 120 seconds. prepared nano-emulsion was investigated by pa...

One hundred seventy-five samples of fresh pork sausage representing thirty-five different commercial brands from six different retail stores were examined for the presence of salmonellae by standard enrichment, plating, biochemical and serological techniques. Contamination levels varied from 0 to 50% among stores and from 0 to 28% among brands. Prior research implied reduced prevalence of salmo...

Software reengineering has been described as being “about as easy as reconstructing a pig from a sausage” [11]. But the development of program transformation theory, as embodied in the FermaT transformation system, has made this miraculous feat into a practical possibility. This paper describes the theory behind the FermaT system and describes a recent migration project in which over 544,000 li...

In the course of a study of the microbial flora of fresh pork sausage (Sulzbacher and McLean, 1951) a gram positive rod associated with sausage flavor deterioration was isolated repeatedly. Although this organism tentatively was identified as belonging to the genus Microbacterium, it differs sufficiently from the described species of that genus to justify the publication of a complete descripti...

This work reports antimicrobial activity of oregano (Origanum vulgare) essential oil against several bacteria in sausage. The in vitro minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined for 9 selected aerobic heterotrofic bacteria. The antimicrobial activity of distinct concentrations of the essential oil on the basis of the highest MIC found was tested in a food system comprised of fresh sa...

Aim at the difficulty and low recognition rate of signature verification, this paper introduces biomimetic pattern recognition theory and applies it to the problem. According to the features of the signature samples, the coverage in the high-dimension feature space is built, one class of samples are all covered with a super-sausage neuron chain. As the radius selection of the super-sausage neur...

Cellulose sausage cellulose casings are used extensively in the manufacture of sausages in meat packaging. After stripping the meat, spent asings mainly contain cellulose and residual meat juice with salt, nitrate and nitrite. Disposal of spent sausage casings has serious economic nd environmental concerns for the sausage industry. This work describes bioconversion of spent cellulose casings (S...

We consider nite lattice coverings of strictly convex bodies K. For planar centrally symmetric K we characterize the nite arrangements Cn such that conv Cn Cn + K, where Cn is a subset of a covering lattice for K (which satisses some natural conditions). We prove that for a xed lattice the optimal arrangement (measured with the parametric density) is either a sausage, a socalled double sausage ...

oxidative and microbiological degradations are the main factors that determine the quality of food and the shelf life. color and moisture stability are important quality attributes that contribute to meat shelf life, salability and consumer acceptability. there is currently considerable interest in edible films coatings and natural antioxidants because of their potential to improve the quality ...
