Background and Objectives: Macrobrachium nipponense are wetland crustaceans. The shrimp is rich in protein and unsaturated fatty acids (FAs). Therefore, the aim of this study was to use M. nipponense as a supplement for the preparation of a new soup. Materials and Methods: Nearly 40 kg of M. nipponense were harvested from Anzali Lagoon, Northern Iran. Shrimps were washed and dipped in NaCl sol...

This study aimed to in vitro evaluate the impact of common gastrointestinal (GI) alterations appearing with aging on protein digestibility, and functional related properties, four different meats (chicken, turkey, pork beef). Thus, three elderly digestion models were stated as long altered GI conditions affected at oral (E1), gastric (E2) oral, intestinal stages (E3). Healthy adult also mimicke...

We examined 29 isolates of Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serovar Schwarzengrund from broiler chickens (n=19) and retail chicken meats (n=10) in Japan for antimicrobial susceptibility and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) profiling. All isolates exhibited resistance to both bicozamycin and sulfadimethoxine (minimum inhibitory concentration of both antimicrobial agents: >512 micro...

Historically, drying meats to produce jerky was conisidered to be a safe preservation process and the convenience and flavor of jerky has made it a popular food product for home food preservers. Recent outbreaks of foodborne illness related to both home-dried and commercially manufactured jerky have raised concerns about the safety of the product. Some traditional home recipes and drying proces...

Visible spectra of cold stored, cooked, and diseased chicken meats were collected. Changes in ratios of R(1)=A(485 nm)/A(560 nm) and R(2)=A(635 nm)/A(560 nm,) which are related to absorbances of the bands at 485 (metmyoglobin), 560 (oxymyoglobin), and 635 nm (sulfmyoglobin), were observed to be useful for studying the variation of meat color under the conditions of cold storage and cooking proc...

this category are mainly meats and meat products, milk and cream, cheese, and cakes and biscuits. Equally, caterers should provide similar information in appropriate ways. The concentration of alcohol (ethanol) in beers, ciders, wines, spirits, and any other drinks containing more than 1 2%' of alcohol by volume should be printed on the container in percentage by volume. The concentration in dr...

Methods We present the case of a 66 year-old woman that at age 61 developed recurrent episodes of generalized urticaria and angioedema of the upper airways about 4 hours after the ingestion of ham, bean stew with pork meat and rabbit meat. She tolerated other foods, including other meats, fish and cow ’s milk. She worked in a meat factory and handled daily with meat, she had contact with variou...

From fiscal year 2012 to 2014, we surveyed the concentration of radioactive cesium in 39 wild animal meats obtained from 20 wild boars and 19 deer caught in Chiba prefecture, using a germanium semiconductor detector. Four wild boar meats in the fiscal years 2012 and 2013 exceeded the radioactive cesium limit in general foods (100 Bq/kg), whereas none of the deer meats exceeded the limit. The le...
