The purpose of the present study was to evaluate carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) coated polypropylene (PP) films containing Zataria multiflora (ZEO) essential oils (4%) as an antimicrobial packaging for chicken breast stored at 4 °C. To increase PP film hydrophilicity, it was treated by atmospheric cold plasma prior to coating by CMC. Then, different films including PP, PP/CMC, PP/CMC containing ...

Myostatin, a new member of the TGF-beta superfamily, is predominantly expressed in skeletal muscle cells and functions as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth in animals. Recently, we have reported three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the chicken myostatin gene. Herein, we investigate the association of those SNPs with the production traits in a F2 chicken line derived from...

Response surface models were developed and validated for effects of temperature (10 to 40 degrees C) and previous growth NaCl (0.5 to 4.5%) on lag time (lambda) and specific growth rate (mu) of Salmonella Typhimurium on cooked chicken breast. Growth curves for model development (n = 55) and model validation (n = 16) were fit to a two-phase linear growth model to obtain lambda and mu of Salmonel...

The functional properties of alkali soluble chicken meat protein/starch blend were studied in three phases. In the first phase chicken breast meat powder was solubilized with alkali in a 2  2 factorial experiment. The results from microscopic appearance, microscopy, SEM, consistency, solubility, X-ray diffractometry, SDS-Page showed changes in microstructural, textural and molecular weight of ...

background biosurfactants are surface-active compounds produced by some microorganisms. objectives in this study, we collected surface skin samples from breast of poultry (chicken, turkey, and, quail) and screened for biosurfactant-producing bacteria. we also determined the genera of cultured strains. materials and methods 33 hemolytic bacterial strains (15, 11, and 7 isolates from chicken, tur...

BACKGROUND Studies on prevalence of pale, soft, exudative (PSE) condition in Sri Lankan poultry industry is minimal. Hence, the objective of present study was to determine the incidence of PSE chicken meat in a commercial meat processing plant and to find out its consequences on meat quality traits of roasted chicken breast. METHOD A total of 60 breast fillets were randomly selected, evaluate...

This study was conducted to compare growth performance, carcass characteristics and meat quality of 4 breeds of local chicken. A total of 480 1-d-old chicks were distributed to 16 pens, with 4 treatments of breed, 4 replicates and 30 chicks per pen. Three Korean local breeds of white-mini broiler, Hanhyup-3-ho, and Woorimatdag, and a breed of silky fowl were raised under identical rearing and f...

this study aims to compare anatomies of madagascar chickens (indigenous race and starbro strain). with 8,262 individuals of either indigenous races or starbro strain chickens raised in a suburban environment, the weights of different pieces of cut as well as the live weights before slaughter were determined. results showed that breast development presents a positive linear relationship with thi...

We quantified chicken calpain 2 (CAPN2) expression in two Chinese chicken breeds (mountainous black-bone chicken breed [MB] and a commercial meat type chicken breed [S01]) to discern the tissue and ontogenic expression pattern and its effect on muscle metabolism. Real-time quantitative PCR assay was developed for accurate measurement of the CAPN2 mRNA expression in various tissues from chickens...

In this paper, authors summarise studies refferering to enrichment of breast and thigh muscles with carnosine that has an important function in physiological processes. Research shown improves quality chicken meat. By adding amino acids β-alanine L-histidine chickens’ feed, synthesizes skeletal muscles, brain, heart muscle olfactory receptor cells. It been determined the content depends on type...
