Data presented in this article are the result of comprehensive analysis of investigations of in vivo modified pork. Raw meat obtained from pigs undergone the acute autohemorrhagic cerebrovascular stroke is considered to be treatment and preventive product for treatment of patients suffered from acute ischemic, hemorrhagic stroke or traumatic cerebral lesions. Investigated meat also can be used ...

This study aimed to examine the effect of bird age on the contents of endogenous bioactive compounds, including carnosine, anserine, creatine, betaine, and carnitine, in meat from a certified meat-type commercial Korean native chicken strain (KNC; Woorimatdag). Additionally, the effects of the meat type (breast or leg meat) and the state of the meat (raw or cooked) were examined. Cocks of KNC w...

background & objectives: campylobacter jejuni is a gram negative, microaerophilic, non-spore-forming and a small curved bacillus which is able to cause foodborne infection in human. in this study the occurrence of c. jejuni in poultry and beef meat was investigated. materials & methods: forty raw meat samples including 22 poultry samples and 18 beef samples were investigated for the presence of...

The inhibition effect of persimmon peel extracts (PPE) (0.05(PPE-0.05), 0.1(PPE-0.1), and 0.2 g(PPE-0.2) per meat sample) on lipid and protein oxidation of pork patties during chilled storage for 12 days were investigated and compared to ascorbic acid (As-0.05) and butylhydroxytoluene (BHT) (BHT-0.01). The meat samples treated with PPE had greater (p<0.05) a* values comparing control in raw por...

We determined the prevalence of Toxoplasma antibodies in 576 primigravid women randomly selected from health houses in Hamadan. The relationship between positivity and some risk factors was assessed. Data were collected by questionnaire and blood samples examined for Toxoplasma antibodies by indirect fluorescent antibody test. Of the 576 women, 193 (33.5%) were positive for Toxoplasma antibodie...

Effective primary prevention of congenital toxoplasmosis requires up to date information on locally relevant risk factors for infection in pregnant women. In Naples, risk factors for toxoplasma infection were compared in recently infected women (as assessed by detection of specific IgM in serum) and susceptible, IgG negative women. Recent infection was strongly associated with frequency of cons...

MIŽÁKOVÁ A., PIPOVÁ M., TUREK P. (2002): The occurrence of moulds in fermented raw meat products. Czech J. Food Sci., 20: 89–94. The consumption of food contaminated with moulds (microscopic filamentous fungi) and their toxic metabolites results in the development of food-borne mycotoxicosis. The spores of moulds are ubiquitously spread in the environment and can be detected everywhere. In this...

The presence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and plasmidic AmpC (pAmpC) producing Escherichia coli (EEC) in food animals, especially broilers, has become a major public health concern. The aim of the present study was to quantify the EEC exposure of humans in The Netherlands through the consumption of meat from different food animals. Calculations were done with a simplified Quantitativ...

BACKGROUND The seroepidemiology of Leptospira infection in workers occupationally exposed to raw meat has been poorly studied. This work aimed to determine the association between Leptospira exposure and the occupation of meat worker, and to determine the seroprevalence association with socio-demographic, work, clinical and behavioral characteristics of the meat workers studied. METHODS We pe...
