Background and Objectives: The use of Bacillus probiotics is an interesting way for manufacturing healthier meat and meat products as functional foods and also a valuable solution for overcoming the constraints related to the stability of probiotic strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium during processing and storage of foods. This work is an attempt to investigate the influence of common ...

the use of panoramic radiography, due to its numerous advantages, is increasing. radiographic films used in this technique are of double emulsion (de) type which are used with intensifying screens. single emulsion (se) films can also be used. the purpose of this study was to determine the exposure parameters to achieve an appropriate optical density in these two types of films, and to estimate ...

Listeria monocytogenes, a psychrotrophic foodborne pathogen, is a recurring postprocess contaminant on ready-to-eat meat (RTE) products, including frankfurters. Potassium lactate (PL) and sodium diacetate (SDA) are FDA-approved antimicrobials that inhibit the growth of L. monocytogenes when incorporated into the formulation of fine emulsion sausage. Flash (steam) pasteurization (FP) has been sh...

| 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...

Cell-wall skeleton prepared from Mycobacterium bovis BCG (BCG-CWS) is known as a potent adjuvant and has been shown to possess antitumor activity in many non-clinical and clinical studies. As there are no approved BCG-CWS formulations for cancer therapy, we investigated the potential for cancer immunotherapy of SMP-105, our originally produced BCG-CWS. For optimizing SMP-105 emulsion, we compar...

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...

The effect of storage temperature (65°C, 48 hours) on the oxidative stability of a food-grade water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsion was studied by comparison with an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion. The emulsions were prepared with linseed oil or olive oil, and in each case, two antioxidants were evaluated, an aqueous Melissa lyophilized extract and BHA. Emulsions were characterized using brightfi...

The colouring agents, as food additive, is believed to be necessary for producers. Because of the toxic effects of nitrite, to replace the use of nitrite mostly natural additives. Tomato industries yield a high amount of by-products mainly tomato peel and seeds. Since tomato peel is rich in lycopene, it can be added directly in 0%, 3% and 6% (w/w) in meat mixture used in beef sausage manufactur...

In this study, the effect of incorporation plant extracts in a natural casing on color and sensory attributes fermented sausages, “sucuk” type, was evaluated. The sausages were produced industrial conditions, stuffed into pretreated casings, vacuum packaged, stored at 4˚C for six months. Five groups tested, C1 (natural without treatment), C2 (treated with 6% (v/v) ethanol), C3 ascorbic acid), A...
