Tools for predicting growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, and Escherichia coli O157:H7 (THERM; temperature history evaluation for raw meats) have been developed using ground pork and sausage. THERM tools have been tested with three types of pork sausage but not with other pork products or during sequential temperature abuse periods. We conducted inoculation studies (five strains each of...

This study was performed to evaluate the effects of chicken breast meat on the quality of mackerel sausages. The mackerel sausages were manufactured by additions of 5%, 7%, and 10% of chicken breast meat. The lightness of mackerel sausages showed no significant differences between the control and addition groups. The redness increased in a dose-dependent manner, but the yellowness decreased sig...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different concentrations of WSP (wheat sprout powder) and ISP (isolated soy protein) on the quality of breakfast sausage. Treatments were formulated as follows: Control, T1 (2.0% ISP), T2 (1.5% ISP + 0.5% WSP), T3 (1.0% ISP + 1.0% WSP), T4 (0.5% ISP + 1.5% WSP) and T5 (2.0% WSP). The treatments were analyzed for color, pH, cooking lo...

This study evaluates the effects of fat contents on the thermal resistance, antibiotic sensitivity, and Caco-2 cell invasion of Listeria monocytogenes. Ten strain mixture of L. monocytogenes in milk (0, 1, and 4% fat) and pork sausage patties (10, 20, and 30% fat) were exposed to 63oC. To evaluate effects of fat on the antibiotic sensitivity of L. monocytogenes, the L. monocytogenes strains NCC...

www.meso.hr Introduction The traditional Croatian dry sausages are, in almost all cases, fermented sausages that undergo more or less prolonged process of smoking and drying–ripening before consumption. The most represented Croatian dry fermented sausage except for Slavonian Kulen is Slavonian homemade Sausage. Slavonian homemade Sausage is a traditional meat product from Eastern Croatia, Slavo...

Irradiated samples had higher thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) than nonirradiated at day 0 but the difference disappeared during storage in both packaging types. Storage increased the production of volatiles and changed the composition of volatiles only in aerobic-packaged sausage. Irradiation and the fatty acid composition had significant effects on lipid oxidation, volatile pro...

| The \Steiner minimal tree" (SMT) of a point set P is the shortest network of \wires" which will suuce to \electrically" interconnect P. The \minimum spanning tree" (MST) is the shortest such network when only intersite line segments are permitted. The \Steiner ratio" (P) of a point set P is the length of its SMT divided by the length of its MST. It is of interest to understand which point set...

The plasma concentration of indomethacin was measured after the rectal administration of water-soluble and fatty base suppositories in rats. The results were compared with the in vitro indomethacin release from suppositories determined by Paddle method using three different types of membranes: cellulose membrane, artificial sausage membrane and natural sausage membrane. The plasma concentration...

We explore the contribution of Gaia-Sausage to stellar halo Milky Way by making use a Gaussian Mixture model (GMM) and applying it star samples LAMOST K giants, SEGUE SDSS blue horizontal branch stars. The GMM divides into two parts, which one represents more metal-rich highly radially biased component associated with an ancient, head-on collision referred as Gaia-Sausage, other is metal-poor i...
