The consumption of canned tuna in the country has been increasing and some factors are effective on the chemical and organoleptic qualities of this product during transport. The aim of this project is to study methods to reduce histamine and improve the organoleptic properties of the product. Three thawing methods consisted of immersion, cold water shower and open air has been considered. Besid...

a three-year field experiment was conducted under conditions of luvic chernozem soil. diversified nitrogen fertilization with 0, 60, 120, and 180 kg n ha-1, and microbial preparations improving soil properties were applied to potatoes, cv. ‘satina’, cultivation. n–no3 concentration in the soil profile (0–0.9 m) in autumn after potato harvesting fluctuated from 28 kg n ha-1 in the n0 treatment t...

background and objectives: with regard to the hazards of nitrite, application of natural preservatives in order to reduce the microbial load of meat and meat products is increasing. owing to their anti-bacterial properties, red barberry and the dried residue of red grape could be suitable replacers for nitrite. materials and methods: agar dilution method was employed in order to determine the m...

Microbial biodegradation of environmental pollutants is a field of growing importance because of its potential use in bioremediation and biocatalysis. We have studied the characteristics of the global biodegradation network that is brought about by all the known chemical reactions that are implicated in this process, regardless of their microbial hosts. This combination produces an efficient an...

Traditional cheeses harbour complex microbial consortia that play an important role in shaping typical sensorial properties. However, the microbial metabolism is considered difficult to control. Microbial community succession and the related gene expression were analysed during ripening of a traditional Italian cheese, identifying parameters that could be modified to accelerate ripening. Afterw...

cosmos caudatus is widely used as a traditional medicine in southeast asia. c. caudatus has been reported as a rich source of bioactive  compounds such as ascorbic acid, quercetin, and chlorogenic acid. studies have shown that c. caudatus exhibits high antioxidant capacity and various medicinal properties, including anti-diabetic activity, anti-hypertensive properties, anti-infl ammatory respon...

rhizosphere has different chemical and biological properties from the bulk soil. information about phosphorus (p) availability in the rhizosphere soils treated with municipal sewage sludge (mss) is limited. therefore, the objectives of this research were to evaluate the rhizospheric effects of wheat (triticum aestivum l.) on phosphorus availability and biological properties in 10 calcareous soi...
