OBJECTIVES Polymethylmethacrylate bone cements are widely used in orthopaedic and trauma surgery as well as in dentistry. The toxic side effects of inhaled methylmethacrylate (MMA) fumes generated during mixing have been well studied. Vacuum cement mixing systems have been shown to reduce the risk of airborne MMA significantly compared to handmixing. In an effort to further reduce MMA exposure,...

The demand for ready-to-eat pomegranate arils has increased due to the high nutritional value and quality of this valuable fruit. However, shelf life is short. Therefore, we examined effect ultrasonication treatment (35 kHz power) varying times (5, 10, 15 min) at 25 °C, their combination with different packaging types, i.e., vacuum passive modified atmosphere (passive MAP), on physical, chemica...

In this study, it was aimed to investigate that the effect of drying process on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792) roes in terms proximate composition, aw, pH, TVB-N, TBARs, microbiological counts and color parameters. Drying lasted 42 hours including, 18 at 30oC 24 45oC. The dried fish were vacuum-packed (vacuum degree 0.02MPa) stored 4oC for 90th days. crude lipid, protein, ash...

Bacterial species belonging to the genus Clostridium have been recognized as causative agents of blown pack spoilage (BPS) in vacuum packed meat products. Whole-genome sequencing six New Zealand psychrotolerant clostridia isolates derived from three production animal types and their environments was performed examine roles BPS. Comparative genome analyses provided insight into genomic diversity...
