Microbiological, chemical and sensory changes of fish burgers prepared from deep flounder (Pseudorhombus elevatus) and brushtooth lizardfish (Saurida undosquamis) were determined during storage at -18ºC for 5 months. Microbiological counts were including total plate count (TPC), total coliform (TC), Staphylococcus aureus, Psychotropic and Escherichia coli decreased throughout the frozen storag...

The ability of Gaussian noise to induce ordered states in dynamical systems is here presented in an overview of the main stochastic mechanisms able to generate spatial patterns. These mechanisms involve: (i) a deterministic local dynamics term, accounting for the local rate of variation of the field variable, (ii) a noise component (additive or multiplicative) accounting for the unavoidable env...

Localized ecological interactions can generate striking large-scale spatial patterns in ecosystems through spatial self-organization. Possible mechanisms include oscillating consumer-resource interactions, localized disturbance-recovery processes and scale-dependent feedback. Despite abundant theoretical literature, studies revealing spatial self-organization in real ecosystems are limited. Rec...

background and objective: the quality of flat breads depends in part on the textural and structural properties of breads during storage. these properties are largely affected by flour quality. this research aimed at evaluating textural and structural properties of lavash bread types during storage by different techniques, comparing these methods and determination of correlation between their re...

The effect of delayed icing on the quality of banana shrimp (Fenneropenaeus merguiensis) was investigated by determining sensory, physicochemical (pH, TVB-N and WHC), microbial (TMC, total mesophilic counts and TPC, total psychrophilic counts) and microstructure aspects over 20 days during ice storage. The fresh shrimp stored in the immediately iced after caught (lot I) were organoleptically ac...

in this study, ultrafiltrated feta cheese was prepared from cow’s milk ultrafiltraton retentate and soymilk blend. rennet and calcium chloride were used simultaneously as coagulant to coagulate cow’s milk proteins and soymilk proteins, respectively. then, the effect of storage period on physical (texture profile analysis test, penetration test), chemical (total solids, protein, fat) and sensory...

in this study, the antimicrobial effect of sea cucumber extract (0.5, 1 and 2%) on the microbial population of rainbow trout fillets during refrigerated storage was examined. fillets were stored for 16 days and every 4 days microbial tests (including total bacterial load, pseudomonas, enterobacteriaceae and h2s producing bacteria) were performed on the samples. results showed that there was no ...
