This work reports antimicrobial activity of oregano (Origanum vulgare) essential oil against several bacteria in sausage. The in vitro minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined for 9 selected aerobic heterotrofic bacteria. The antimicrobial activity of distinct concentrations of the essential oil on the basis of the highest MIC found was tested in a food system comprised of fresh sa...

Aim at the difficulty and low recognition rate of signature verification, this paper introduces biomimetic pattern recognition theory and applies it to the problem. According to the features of the signature samples, the coverage in the high-dimension feature space is built, one class of samples are all covered with a super-sausage neuron chain. As the radius selection of the super-sausage neur...

Cellulose sausage cellulose casings are used extensively in the manufacture of sausages in meat packaging. After stripping the meat, spent asings mainly contain cellulose and residual meat juice with salt, nitrate and nitrite. Disposal of spent sausage casings has serious economic nd environmental concerns for the sausage industry. This work describes bioconversion of spent cellulose casings (S...

We consider nite lattice coverings of strictly convex bodies K. For planar centrally symmetric K we characterize the nite arrangements Cn such that conv Cn Cn + K, where Cn is a subset of a covering lattice for K (which satisses some natural conditions). We prove that for a xed lattice the optimal arrangement (measured with the parametric density) is either a sausage, a socalled double sausage ...

This study was designed to characterize in vitro-digested products of proteins from four commercial meat products, including dry-cured ham, cooked ham, emulsion-type sausage, and dry-cured sausage. The samples were homogenized and incubated with pepsin and trypsin. The digestibility and particle sizes of digested products were measured. Nano-LC-MS/MS was applied to characterize peptides. The re...

oxidative and microbiological degradations are the main factors that determine the quality of food and the shelf life. color and moisture stability are important quality attributes that contribute to meat shelf life, salability and consumer acceptability. there is currently considerable interest in edible films coatings and natural antioxidants because of their potential to improve the quality ...

There is no accurate data on sodium intake from meat products in Croatia, nor any research on reducing salt in the Croatian autochthonous meat products has been published. Therefore, the aim of this research was to investigate acceptability of the Homemade Slavonian Sausage, traditional dry-fermented sausages, with reduced salt content as well as effects of reducing levels of NaCl in some senso...
