ABSTRACT
The present study was conducted to develop chicken meat powder (CMP) incorporated ready-to-eat shelf stable fried chicken snacks and evaluate the effect of rosemary leaves extract (RE) incorporation on physico-chemical, microbiological and sensory properties in developed product during ambient storage up to 60 days. Two different groups were made; control (without RE) and second group with RE treated (3% level). In physico-chemical properties, results showed that RE incorporation had highly significant (p<0.01) effect on thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARs), free fatty acid (FFA) and tyrosine value. Similarly in microbiological parameter RE treated product had significantly (p<0.05) lower total plate count (TPC), Staphylococcus count (SC) and significantly (p<0.01) lower yeast and mold count than control. RE incorporation had highly significant effect (p<0.01) on sensory score (texture, flavour and overall acceptability except appearance) of the product during storage period. Therefore, it is concluded that RE incorporation into fried chicken snacks improved physico-chemical (TBARs, free fatty acid content and Tyrosine value), microbiological (Total plate count, Staphylococcus count and yeast and mold count) and sensory parameter (flavor, texture and overall acceptability) of the chicken snacks during 60 days storag
ABSTRACT
Foods that affect specific functions or systems in the human body, providing health benefits beyond energy and nutrients, functional foods have experienced rapid market growth in recent years. This growth is stimulated by technological innovations and development of new products. The increasing Number of health-conscious consumers are interested in products that improve life quality. Since the global market of functional foods is increasing annually. Probiotics show considerable promise for the expansion of the dairy industry, especially in such specific sectors as yoghurts (Indian dahi), cheeses, beverages, ice creams, and other desserts. This article presents an overview of functional food and strategies for their development with some attention to probiotic dairy products. The special attention is paid to the sensory of such products to provide important information about the most desirable attributes.
ABSTRACT
In this study, nineteen Lactobacillus isolated from Algerian goat's milk, 13 belonging to L. plantarum, three to L. pentosus, two to L. rhamnosus and one to L. fermentum, were examined in vitro in order to be used as adjunct culture in dairy products. The strains were tested for their proteolytic activity, sensory and safety properties. Strains LbMS16 and LbMS21 L. plantarum and LbMF25 L. rhamnosus presented the highest proteolytic activity. All the tested lactobacilli were able to grow on MRS agar containing 0.5 and 1% (W/V) of oxgall, whereas none produced biogenic amine (BA) from the four tested amino acids and were resistant to pH 2.0 and 3.0, but some strains were able to grow at pH 3.5. None of examined strains were β-haemolytic when grown in hors blood agar. Result of antibiotic resistance showed that all the strains were susceptible to penicillin, erythromycin and resistant to vancomycin. Diacetyl production was observed for two strains of L. plantarum and one of L. rhamnosus. Most of strains were able to produce pleasant flavours in fermented milk and gave a good acceptance. According to these results, the strains LbMS16, LbMS21and LbMF25 could be good candidates to be used as adjunct culture, playing a probiotic role in dairy products manufacture in Algeria.
ABSTRACT
Las bayas de goji son frutas de un color rojo intenso, aproximadamente del tamaño de una pasa de uva y con un sabor que podría asemejarse a una mezcla de arándanos y cerezas. Las bayas frescas tienen un aspecto similar,tanto en la forma como en el tamaño, a la de los tomates cherry. China es el principal proveedor de bayas de gojiy se cultiva mayoritariamente en la provincia de Ni ngxia. Se comercializan principalmente desecadas, pero en elmercado también se encuentran jugos, aceites, extractos, compotas, mermeladas o jaleas, barras de cereal,muesli, y una gran variedad de productos cosméticos. Se les atribuyen numerosas propiedades nutricionales, pero debe destacarse que muy pocas han sido comprobadas científicamente. Objetivos del trabajo: Estudiar las características nutri cionales y organolépticas de las bayas de goji y de productos alimenticios elabo-rados con ellas, compararlos con los mismos productos sin bayas. Cuantificar los macronutrientes y antioxidan-tes, realizar la valoración nutricional, y determinar la aceptabilidad y satisfacción de los alimentos elaborados. Metodología: Este estudio es descriptivo y asimismo, corresponde a un diseño mixto, ya que p resenta una etapa no experi-mental-transeccional-descriptiva y en otra etapa, el diseño es cuasi-experimental. Resultados y conclusiones: Los alimentos que se elaboraron exitosamente con y sin bayas de goji fueron barritas de cereal y yogur helado, que resultaron con características organolépticas satisfactorias. Los productos elaborados con bayas fueron losque mayor contenido de carbohidratos y prote ínas contenían. En el caso de los lípidos, no se observaron grandes diferencias entre los productos elaborados con y sin bayas. Todos los alimentos presentaron fibra alimentaria en su composición. En cuanto al contenido de compuestos fenólicos, los resultados evidenciaron claramentesu aumento en los alimentos...
Goji berries are intense red-colored fruitsand approximately the size of a raisin. Its taste could be described as a combination of blueberries and cherries.Fresh goji berries are similar in form as well as in size tocherry tomatoes. China is the main supplier of goji berries, which are mostly harvested in the province of Ningxia. They are primarily marketed as dried fruits, but you can also find juices, oils, extracts, compotes, jams or jellies, cereal bars, muesli and a great variety of cosmetic products. Many nutritional properties are attributed to them, but it is worth noting that only a few of them have been proven scientifically. Objectives: To study the nutritional and sensory propertiesof goji berries and of food products made with them, and to compare these products with those that don't contain goji berries. To quantify the macronutrients and antioxidants, evaluate the nutritional value and determine theacceptability and satisfaction of the finished products. Methodology: This is a descriptive study with a mixed design, since it combines a non-experimental, descriptive and transactional phase with a quasi experimental phase. Results and conclusions: The foods that were successfullymade with and without goji berries were cereal bars and frozen yogurt, resulting in satisfactory sensory properties.The products made with goji berries had a higheramount of carbohydrates and proteins. As regards lipids, there were no significant differences between the products made with and without goji berries. All products had dietary fiber in their composition. Concerning the content ofphenolic compounds, the results clearly showed an increase of them in the foods made with goji berries. The results ofthe microbiological analysis of the frozen yogurt withand without goji berries were found to be within the microbiological criteria established by the Argentine Food Cod...
