Nitrite-free and low-nitrite meat-curing systems were developed to eliminate or reduce nitrite in frankfurter-type sausages. Different composite meat-curing mixtures were formulated using cochineal and paprika as natural colorants, sodium hypophosphite (SHP) as antimicrobial agent, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) as antioxidant and sodium nitrite. The treatment, which contained 0.015% cochineal,...

Cooking conditions are the key factor for organoleptic and sanitary qualities of meat products. This study focused on these bivalent properties by determining the odour-active compounds and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in cooked meat with high resolution GC-olfactometry and GC×GC-TOF/MS, respectively. PCA permitted to stress that to achieve a balance between sanitary and organoleptic...

Sporulation and enterotoxin formation were determined for 17 strains of Clostridium perfringens type A in autoclaved chicken dark meat and in Duncan-Strong sporulation medium. The mean numbers of heat-resistant spores detected after 24 h at 37 degrees C were log10 1.13 to log10 7.64/ml in Duncan-Strong medium and log10 4.93 to log10 6.59/g in chicken. Of 17 strains, 7 formed enterotoxin in Dunc...

This study was performed to investigate the changes in meat quality characteristics of the sous vide cooked chicken breast during refrigerated storage at 4℃ for 14 d between before and after sous-vide cooking. Cooking loss and shear force were significantly increased, whereas expressible drip was significantly decreased along with reduction in the water holding capacity in both of two groups. R...

Sažetak For the last few years in poultry industry there was increased the use of mechanically separated meat, meat of lower quality value, which is the product obtained by removing meat from poultry carcasses or by removing meat from flesh-bearing bones after boning. In this process, the loss or modification of the muscle fiber structure occurs. Since such meat has lower quality value, it is n...

The objective of this study was to compare postmortem meat quality traits and consumer acceptance of sensory qualities in Duroc, Landrace, Meishan, and Yorkshire pork, for both the fresh and cooked forms. A total of 134 pigs were evaluated. Meishan pork showed the lowest pH45 min and pH24 h values and the highest drip loss and lightness values. In the consumer evaluation of the fresh meat, the ...
