Some milk-associated proteins are known to be nutritionally valuable and form bioactive peptides that exhibit activity against hypertension and oxidative stress. Consumption of cheeses, such as the popular Hispanicstyle cheese Queso Fresco (QF), may be a vehicle for delivery of these milk-associated peptides. This paper describes the effects of high-pressure processing (HPP) on the antioxidativ...

This study was designed to determine the effects of storage condition and period on mold-yeast, aflatoxin, E. coli O157 in wet sugar beet pulp (WSBP). For this aim, samples were taken from first production WSBP factory (Control) newly packaged sacks packaging company (Packaged Control). Afterwards, additional two stored as (Packaged) surrounded by a nylon cover outside near barn (Non-packaged) ...

Ostrich meat samples were irradiated with 0.0, 1.0 and 3.0 kGy of gamma rays, packaged under vacuum and held refrigerated for 21 days. Lipid oxidation, shear force, colour and sensory quality were determined on day 0, 7, 14 and 21. Irradiated meat showed higher values (P<0.05) for a* (redness) than the non-irradiated samples as from day 21 under refrigeration. Irradiation increased (P<0.05) the...

Effects of double packaging (combinational use of aerobic and vacuum conditions) and antioxidants on physicochemical properties in irradiated restructured chicken rolls were determined. Chicken breast treated with antioxidants (none, sesamol+a-tocopherol) was used to process restructured chicken breast rolls. The sliced rolls were vacuum, aerobic, or double packaged (vacuum for 7 d then aerobic...

The decision-making process involved in food selection and consumption behaviors is confounded by mental integration of information, experiences, emotions associated with the product (stimulus). complex fleeting but temporal nature product-generated (PG) or product-associated (PA) makes affectual experiences difficult to measure interpret. This project aims characterize relationship between PA,...

Turkey breast muscles were aerobically or vacuum packaged, irradiated at 0, 2.5, or 5.0 kGy using a Linear Accelerator (electron beam), and stored at 4°C. The CIE color values, reflectance scan, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), production of gaseous compounds, and lipid oxidation of samples were determined at 0, 1, and 2 weeks of storage. Absorption spectra of sample drips were determined a...

OBJECTIVES Today's supermarket contains hundreds of packaged foods specifically targeted at children. Yet research has shown that children are confused by the various visual messages found on packaged food products. This study explores children's nutrition knowledge with regard to packaged food products, to uncover strengths and difficulties they have in evaluating the healthfulness of these fo...

We established a system for propagation of Sindbis virus (SIN)-based replicons in tissue culture in the form of a tricomponent genome virus. Three RNA fragments containing complementing genetic information required for virus replication are packaged into separate viral particles, and each cell produces at least 1,000 packaged replicons and the number of packaged helpers sufficient to perform th...

BACKGROUND Over the past years, there has been increase in packaged water consumption in Nigeria. Although, there are several studies on microbial safety of sachet packaged drinking water, there is no information on prevailing pathogens. FINDINGS A comprehensive literature search and meta-analysis of peer reviewed primary studies reported from 2005 for microbiological safety of packaged drink...
