The “elimination” of chemical additives used in a wide variety of foods is demanded, while “natural” additives are seen as a benefit for both quality and safety. Researchers are looking for new sources of ingredients and/or additives. The aim of this work was to study the effect of 1) the addition of 5.00% citrus fibre washing water (CFWW) and 0.02% rosemary essential oil (REO) or 0.02 % thyme ...

The assessment effect of modified atmosphere packaging (60% CO2, 10% O2, 30% N2; MAP) and vacuum packaging on the quality of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fillets stored at 4°C was investigated. Maximum inhibition of the bacteria mesophilic and psychrotrophic growth was achieved with stored under MAP. Moreover, tilapia kept under CO2-enriched atmosphere had lower total volatile base (TVB-N), ...

Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) has become a popular method for packaging foods as it can extend the shelf life of food with minimal quality defect. Oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide are the common gases used in MAP, Oxygen and carbon dioxide inclusive as only these two gaseous have the preservative effects on the packed food product. Their effect on microbial changes of any food product ...

s of papers 65 refrigerated storage and after cooking compared with the nonirradiated control. Irradiated aerobically packaged meat accelerated lipid oxidation and aldehydes production at 10 d and after cooking. Gallate+tocopherol with double packaging was the most effective in reducing the red color of irradiated raw and cooked meat. Sulfur volatiles were evaporated during the aerobic period o...

Fish Protein Concentrate (FPC) is a healthy, sustainable and high nutritive product that produced from fish and protein and other nutrients are more concentrated than in the fresh fish. The aim of this research is to study the sustainability of FPC produced from Kilka (combination of three Caspian Sea Kilka species, Clupeonella engrauliformis, C. grimmi and C. cultriventris which were not ident...

This study aimed to extend the shelf life of walnut kernels by appropriate packaging conditions and physical methods. For this purpose, the kernels were heated at 50 or 70°C for 2 or 10 minutes. About 100g of walnuts were packed in low-density polyethylene (LDPE) packages under ordinary, vacuum or nitrogen conditions. Samples were stored for 18 months at room temperature. Peroxide value and aci...

The effects of various packaging systems, vacuum packaging (VACP), medium oxygen-modified atmosphere packaging (50% O2/20% CO2/30% N2, MOMAP), MOMAP combined with vacuum skin packaging (VSP-MOMAP), high oxygen-MAP (80% O2/20% CO2/0% N2, HOMAP), and HOMAP combined with VSP (VSP-HOMAP), on the activity of antioxidant enzyme, and oxidation and color stabilities in sliced Hanwoo (Korean cattle) bee...

The sensory, microbiological and physicochemical attributes of fresh meat stored at 5 and 15 degrees C were affected by the combined effect of volatile compounds of oregano essential oil and modified atmosphere packaging conditions (40% CO2/30% N2/30% O2, 100% CO2, 80% CO2/20% air, vacuum pack and air). It was found that the extension of shelf life of meat samples depended on the packaging cond...

Patties were made from pork loin, individually vacuum- or aerobic-packaged and stored either at 4 or -40°C. Refrigerated patties were irradiated at 0, 1.5, 3.0 or 4.5 kGy absorbed dose, and frozen ones were irradiated at 0, 2.5, 5.0, or 7.5 kGy. Samples were analyzed for lipid oxidation, volatile production and odor characteristics. Refrigerated samples were analyzed at 0, 1 and 2 weeks, and fr...
