this study examined sourdough lab containing specific starter cultures used to produce barbari-style bread and evaluated their microbiological shelf life and sensory properties. the effects of sourdough fermentation time (8, 16, 24h), fermentation temperature (28, 32, 36°c) and type of starter culture (lactobacillus sanfransicencis, atcc 14917; lactobacillus plantarum, atcc 43332; a mixture of ...

Food business operators (FBOs) are the primary responsible for the safety of food they place on the market. The definition and validation of the product's shelf-life is an essential part for ensuring microbiological safety of food and health of consumers. In the frame of the Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005 on microbiological criteria for foodstuffs, FBOs shall conduct shelf-life studies in order t...

A systematic experimental procedure for fish shelf-life modelling was used to develop a model for predicting the quality of fish in the chill chain. For this, the growth of the naturally occurring bacteria pseudomonads, Shewanella putrefaciens, Enterobacteriaceae, lactic acid bacteria and yeasts, on gilt-head seabream (Sparus aurata), was studied at temperatures from 0 to 15 degrees C. The resu...

Smoothie-type beverages are usually preserved by mild pasteurisation (MP) but combining moderate heat (H) and pulsed electric fields (PEF) could represent an alternative technique achieving similar, or better, microbiological safety and shelf life, and possibly lowering the thermal impact on physical and sensory product properties. Following H (55 C after 60 s) and PEF (34 kV/cm, 60 ms) the mic...

improving food quality is one the major issues for the food processing industry. since food produced from fish spoils quickly, it obviously cannot be kept for an extended time. the aim of the present study was to determine the effects of sodium polyphosphate and smoking on the shelf life of fish sausage that was produced from capoeta umbla and stored at 4±1°c. therefore, we designed four groups...

this review focuses on the introduction of par-baked bread technology and effects of map on the microbial and sensorial shelf life of the mentioned bread, which are discussed here under four categories of the product contamination after probating, the composition of the gas, the characteristics of the packaging material, and the packaging technology. since traditional breads have a low quality ...

local food production can be seen worldwide, and there are several local wisdoms on food production. there are many problems on local food production, including the problem of microbiological contamination, which is considered a great concern. the safety consideration is required. in the tropical world, the problem of local tropical food production should be specially discussed. there are many ...

all of the food products are required to be packaged due to hygienic regard, storage, suitable transportation and preservation of quality and vacuum packaging is one of the prevention methods of spoilage. hence in this study, some of the quality factores changes of rutilus frissi kutum fillets storaged in vacuum and air packages were examined during 18 days in ice alike total volatile base-nitr...

Ovine ricotta cheese is a traditional Sicilian dairy product characterised by high humidity and a short shelf life (2-4 days when refrigerated). The increasing demand for fresh food has prompted manufacturers to develop special packaging techniques, such as modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), that can extend the shelf life and maintain the organoleptic characteristics of ovine ricotta cheese. ...
