Yellow finned sea bream (Acanthopagrus arabicus) is a commercially important fish of coastal water Pakistan. It widely consumed by the people within and outside country. Therefore, paper investigates concentration macro-minerals (Ca, K, Mg Na) in its meat gills. The concentrations different elements demonstrated statistically significant difference (P < 0.01) between gills fish. Significantl...

In the first paper of this series, it was shown that gelatinization of starch was necessary to enhance jelly strength of fish meat jelly (Kamaboko), and that starch added in Kamaboko , though gelatinized, chiefly existed in the jelly as granules and partly dispersed into meat as amylose. In the present paper, amylose and amylopectin, the two components of starch , were isolated by an improved S...

BACKGROUND A number of epidemiological studies have reported inconsistent findings on the association between meat consumption and lung cancer. DESIGN We therefore conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the relationship between meat consumption and lung cancer risk in epidemiological studies. RESULTS Twenty-three case-control and 11 cohort studies were included. All ...

Meat consumers around the world are increasingly paying attention to product quality and safety, and are starting to reduce their meat consumption, especially with regard to red meat. This trend is prevalent in households with children who prefer health-certified meat products. Our study compares meat consumption habits in households with and without children or adolescences (0-18 years). A str...

Methods We present the case of a 66 year-old woman that at age 61 developed recurrent episodes of generalized urticaria and angioedema of the upper airways about 4 hours after the ingestion of ham, bean stew with pork meat and rabbit meat. She tolerated other foods, including other meats, fish and cow ’s milk. She worked in a meat factory and handled daily with meat, she had contact with variou...

The experiment was conducted in two earthen ponds to investigate the body composition, and fatty acid profile of carps along with growth performance by using rice polish as fish feed with urea and ammonium nitrate fertilization of pond. Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), Rohu (Labeo rohita) and Mori (Cirrhinus mrigala) were stocked in the ratio of 1:2:1 respectively with total number of...

Cancer incidence rates from the Hong Kong Cancer Registry show significant increases in lung and colon cancers and decreases in nasopharyngeal cancer in both sexes from 1973 to 1992. Moreover, cervical cancer and male esophageal cancer have declined significantly, and changes in the trends of cancer of the following sites were of borderline significance: decreasing male laryngeal and female eso...

Percussive and electrical stunning are the most promising methods in terms of rendering fish unconscious prior to slaughter. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of these two stunning methods on postmortem muscle changes and meat quality of common carps. The experimental fish were stunned either by percussion (Group 1) or by electrical current application (Group 2), both followed b...

In vitro digestion products of proteins were compared among beef, pork, chicken, and fish. Gastric and jejunal contents from the rats fed these meat proteins were also compared. Cooked pork, beef, chicken, and fish were homogenized and incubated with pepsin alone or followed by trypsin. The digestion products with molecular weights of less than 3000 Da were identified with MALDI-TOF-MS and nano...
