Extension research has been conducted over the past three years over the various abattoirs, technological institutions and meat processing plants, in order to establish means of enhancing safety as well as shelf life extension. The technology applied was the process of electro-chemical activation of water by an on-site device. This device makes use of a powerful electrical field to split a sali...

The present investigation aimed to evaluate the effect of turmeric on shelf life extension of shrimp Penaeus semisulcatus under chilled storage conditions by sensory (organoleptic parameters), pH, proximate and bacterial analysis. The experimental setup was grouped into six, head on (group I), head on coated with turmeric (group II), headless (group III), headless coated with turmeric (group IV...

kefiran is an exogenous microbial metabolite produced mainly by bacteria and fungi during growth. the present study investigated the effects of the addition of 3% kefiran and 3% xanthan on the extensographic characteristics of wheat dough and the shelf life of raised bread. kefir grain was cultivated in a shaking incubator and kefiran extraction was carried using a centrifugal refrigerator. the...

Irradiation is the process of exposing food to some dose radiation extend shelf life food. The present study was done on shelf-life extension wheat four by gamma radiation. Gamma rays are used for processing, whose light source obtained from a 60 Co radionuclide source. properties have adverse effects nutritional whole flour with less than 5 kGy. physiochemical and has been analysed. moisture c...

The freshly harvested Carambola (Averrhoa Carambola L.) fruits were packed in different packaging matrials like high density polyethylene (HDPE) with a 1% and 2% ventilation with a pretreatment 2 % CaCl2 stored at ambient and also in refrigerated conditions the temperature was in the range of 18.0 to 21.0 0 C and Relative humidity of about 86 per cent. To evaluate the storage condition and pret...

Background: Chicken fillets contain essential amino acids besides many minerals and vitamins, which are necessary for maintaining life and promoting growth. Moreover, it is low in calories and cholesterol; therefore, it can be used for feeding infants, young children, and some patients. Methods: Chicken fillets were initially coated by dipping in different concentrations of chitosan (1.0%, 1.5...
