The aim of this work was to monitor quantitative and qualitative representation of probiotic strain L. casei 01 (Sacco, Italy) in dry femented sausages „Herkules“ taken from two different producers (A and B). Negative control susages without probiotics were also made at both producers, to monitor the differences between pH profiles of and lactic acid bacteria counts during fermentation and sto­ra­ge of dry sausages. The second objective of this study was to determine sensory quality of probiotic sausages in comparison with non-probiotic controls.The counts of L. casei and LAB in all sausages significantly (P < 0,01) increased during fermentation and storage period. Probiotic L. casei was well adapted to dry sausages environment and reached 106 CFU/g in both producers. No differences between pH profiles of probiotic sausages and controls without probiotics were observed.It was observed that all probiotic sausages had sensory properties near the traditional products.

The effects of potato variety (Van Gogh, Bintje and Fambo), washing with browning prevention Chemicals in place of sodium bisulfite, percentages of CO2, O2, and N2 in the package headspace, and storage time (1,4, and 7 days) on the sensory and microbiological quality of potato slices were examined. Citric acid and ascorbic acid (at 0.1% each and at 0.5% each) were used as browning prevention Chemicals. In the packaging atmosphere the percentage of N2 was 75 or 80%, the percentage of O2 was 5 or 0%, and the percentage of CO2 was 20% at the beginning of storage. Packed potato slices were stored in the dark at 5°C. Darkening was the most important factor limiting the sensory quality of raw potato slices. Darkening occurred quickly with Fambo slices; it seems that Fambo is not a suitable potato variety if slices are to be stored. Water-washed and cooked Van Gogh slices were still acceptable for retailing after a storage period of 7 days. After 7 days of storage the best sensory quality of both raw and cooked Bintje slices was obtained with washing Solutions containing 0.1 to 0.5% citric and ascorhic acids and with the gas mixture containing 20% CO2 and 80% N2. The number of microorganisms was higher in samples stored in the atmosphere containing 5% O2 than samples stored in the atmosphere containing 0% O2. Washing of potato slices with browning prevention Chemicals decreased the number of microorganisms compared to potato slices not washed or potato slices washed with water after 7 days of storage.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of ginger extract addition and refrigerate storage on sensory quality of Tuna through panelist’s perception. Panelists (n=30) evaluated samples for overall appearance and flavor attribute using hedonic scale 1–7. The sample which is more acceptable by panelists on flavor attributes having 3% gingers extract and storage for 3 days. The less acceptable sample on flavor attribute having 0% ginger extract and storage for 9 days. On the other hand, the sample which is more acceptable by panelists on overall appearance having 0% ginger extract without storage treatment. The less acceptable sample on overall appearance having 3% ginger extract and storage for 9 days.

The study aimed to assess the effect of herbal additions with antioxidant properties (pepper, thyme and oregano) on the microbiological and oxidative stability as well as the sensory quality of minced poultry meat. Meatballs treatments without additives and treatments with the addition of three types of spices in two forms—dry spices and industrial extracts were examined. Popular seasoning additives of oregano (Origanum vulgare), thyme (Thymus vulgaris) and black pepper (Piper nigrum) at 0.3% of dry herbal or 0.003% as industrial extract were added to minced meat. The microbiological, chemical and sensory tests were performed at specified times and storage temperature. Based on the studied criteria, products maintained constant and adequate quality by up to 10 days while stored in 4 °C. In the case of all tested samples, the overall sensory quality began to deteriorate after 10 days of storage. The preservative role of herbs and extracts in meat products during processing and storage was observed. Oregano and black pepper in both forms maintained good microbial quality and showed their inhibitory effects on the growth of psychrotrophic bacteria. It was observed that dried herbs revealed a stronger antioxidant effect than additives in the form of extracts. The studied dried herbs played an antioxidant, antimicrobial and preservative role in meat products during processing and storage.

Seeds of native forest species for food and seedling production have a growing demand that impacts the need for studies involving seed storage in order to maintain good levels of germination quality. Thus, scientific analyzes that explore the physiological potential of the seeds of these species are necessary, especially for the pink pepper (Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi.), a species used as an alternative source of income for traditional communities and which has been arousing interest due to the consumption of its fruits as a condiment in the national and international market. This work aimed to assess the physiological quality of pink pepper seeds according to the storage period and seed size. The seeds came from a rural settlement, a pioneer in the extraction of pink pepper, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The seeds were evaluated for moisture content, germination, first count, length and dry weight of the germinated seedlings, during the period of time that they remained stored and the size of the seeds. The results allowed to conclude that: i) the germinative percentage of the stored pink pepper seeds decreased over the months; ii) the moisture content of the seeds decreased over the months evaluated iii) the different sizes of seeds did not show differences in germination and storage time and iv) values of length and dry weight of the seedlings did not differ according to the period of storage.

The effects of 3 common handling procedures and mishaps (dropping, compression and trimming) applied to Chinese cabbage cv. Yuki [Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis (Lour.) Olsson] were compared to unstressed control cabbages. Heads were mechanically stressed by dropping from 50 cm onto a hard floor, by prolonged compression under 3 kg of weight before storage, or by repeated trimming of the outer leaves during storage. Cabbages were stored at 2°C for 9 weeks. Market quality of cabbages was not affected by the mechanical stresses, but storage for 9 weeks reduced marketable quality. Heads that were repeatedly trimmed produced less ethylene at the end of the storage period compared to the start, and less ethylene than the other treatments (due to the removal of outer senescing and rotting leaves); however, marketable yield was not improved.
