ABSTRACT Irradiation dose affected production of volatiles in vacuumand aerobic-packaged cooked pork sausage, but its effect on TBARS was minor. Storage increased production of volatiles and changed their composition only in aerobic-packaged sausage. Among volat...

The aim of the study was to compare the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of fermented, cured sausages made from equivalent muscle groups of beef, pork, and sheepmeat. The last has no commercial examples and represents an unexploited opportunity. Using seven replicates of shoulder meat and subcutaneous fat, sausages were made with 64%, 29%, 4%, 2%, 0.2%, and 0.01% of lean meat, fat, N...

The ripening durations and ingredients for the Salchichon sausages were modified to increase pork rear leg consumption by Korean consumers. The salchichon, a ripened pork sausage, was produced to evaluate the efficacy of two different ripening durations with and without rosemary powder on salchichon sausage quality, and the treatments were: i) 45 days of ripening without rosemary, ii) 60 days o...

A number of traditional fermented products are prepared and consumed in Himachal and the types of traditional fermented products of Himachal are unique and different from other areas. Bhatooru is an indigenous leavened bread or roti and constitutes the staple diet of rural population of Himachal. The microbiological analysis of the inoculums (malera) revealed that it composed of a consortium of...

Wheat straw was fermented by Crinipellis sp. RCK-1, a lignin degrading fungus, under solid state fermentation conditions. The fungus degraded 18.38% lignin at the expense of 10.37% cellulose within 9 days. However, when wheat straw fermented for different duration was evaluated in vitro, the 5 day fungal fermented wheat straw called here "Biotech Feed" was found to possess 36.74% organic matter...

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of non-indigenous bacteriocin-producing culture of Lb. sakei on safety and quality of traditional Croatian fermented sausage. Two experiments were carried out; first to evaluate the effect of the culture on artificially inoculated population of Listeria monocytogenes, and the second to characterize the sausages produced with Lb. sakei regar...

Toxoplasma gondii DNA was detected at rates of 2%, 6%, 4.17%, 20%, and 19% in 50 bovine brains, 50 bovine muscles, 120 ovine brains, 20 ovine muscles, and in 100 fermented sausage samples, respectively. Sequenced positive samples showed 100% identity with T. gondii RH strain. Seropositivity rates were detected as 24% in cattle and 25% in sheep slaughtered in local slaughterhouses. The detection...

The aim of study was to explore the dry distilled rose petals extract (DDRPE) addition Bulgarian lukanka type fermented sausages with half-reduced nitrate content. There studied antioxidative effect DDRPE in filling mass on color characteristics, pH, acid value (AV), peroxide (POV), TBARS and sensory characteristics. Four samples: C100 - 0.500 g/kg without DDRPE, C50 0.250 R1 1.140 R2 2.280 wer...

This study aimed to evaluate nitrite reduction impact on geometry, colour, chemical, microbiological, and sensory traits of dry sausage (kulen) traditionally prepared with red hot paprika powder. Three batches kulen different levels were produced assessed: N110 (control 110 mg/kg sodium nitrite), N55 (55 NF (without nitrite). Samples for the analyses taken production day, after 8, 16, 24, 32, 4...

The present experiment evaluated the influence of moisture level and anaerobic fermentation on aerobic stability of total mixed ration (TMR). The dynamic changes in chemical composition and microbial population that occur after air exposure were examined, and the species of yeast associated with the deterioration process were also identified in both non-fermented and fermented TMR to deepen the...
