An investigation was conducted to assess the effect of incorporation of dried apple pomace (DAP) and corn bran (CB) as dietary fi bre sources on organoleptic, thiobarbituric acid reacting substance (TBARS) value and microbial quality characteristics of chevon rolls during refrigerated storage. DAP, CB and their combination (DAP+CB) were used at 6%, 3% and 2%+ 3% level respectively by replacing ...

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...

Refrigerated sweet potato puree is a convenient form of sweet potato that can be used as an ingredient in formulated foods. The microbiology of refrigerated sweet potato puree during storage for up to 5 weeks was evaluated. Because the puree was made by comminuting steam-cooked sweet potatoes before refrigeration, no naturally occurring vegetative bacterial cells were detected during a 4-week p...

Investigations were carried out on development quality evaluation and shelf life studies of buffalo meat emulsion sausage prepared by different levels of fat and skimmed milk powder (SMP) at refrigerated storage temperature (0°C). The quality of emulsion sausage was based on the basis of physico-chemical characteristics namely moisture content, pH, protein content, TBA number, microbial charact...

two batches of frankfurters containing about 55% chicken meat with two different oils (including canola and soybean) were manufactured. batch 1 included canola oil and batch 2 included soybean oil in the products. various analyses were performed to detect the lipid changes of both batches during storage. fatty acid composition analysis using gas chromatography showed little change in the fatty ...
