Cubiu shrubs (Solanum sessiliflorum Dunal) have drawn the attention of researchers for their biological versatility (preferential heliophilous or facultative ombrophilous shrubs), their capacity to grow in upland or lowland areas, and the good technological quality of their fruits for the food industry. The aim of this study was to verify physicochemical changes in cubiu fruits during maturation. The fruits were harvested from the experimental station of olericulture of the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia (INPA), Brazil. The analyses were performed in whole cubiu fruits (peel, pulp, and placenta) at four traditional ripening stages (green, turning, ripe, and fully ripe) for the determination of weight, moisture, total solids, total carotenoids, proteins, lipids, and ash. Cubiu fruits showed large weight variation, with amodal distribution. The ripe stage was critical to maintain moisture, and from that stage on, water loss became evident. The lipids increased steadily over the four ripening stages, maintaining, however, insignificant calorie content. Total carotenoids, proteins, and ash reached the maximum level at the fully ripe stage. With the exception of weight and moisture, all physicochemical changes exhibited the same general behavior, i.e. they increased as the fruits ripened at the four investigated stages.

Climatic conditions prior to wheat harvest 2010 were favorable for the development of field molds. The most important wheat contamination that should be determined is the presence and frequency of grain lots infected with Fusarium. This paper presents the results of content of fusarious kernels found in samples collected from all wheat growing regions of Serbia. Investigations were performed according to the regulations which foresee sensory determination of content of infected kernels. Determined average content of fusarious kernels was 6.01%, varying in range from 0% to 29.65 %. The obtained results, which exceeded the upper limits of permitted contents defined by national and EU regulations, pointed to the need for investigation of presence of Fusarium metabolic products, i.e. mycotoxins (zearalenone (ZEA) and deoxinivalenol (DON)) in wheat. Mycotoxin content was determined in average wheat samples and in wheat samples with increased content of fusarious kernels. Direct enzymatic immunoaffinity test (ELISA) was applied for determination of mycotoxin content. Although high content of fusarious kernels characterizes wheat crop in 2010, the determined quantities of two investigated mycotoxins did not exceed maximal permitted content. Consequences of unfavorable quantity and structure of total impurities in wheat crop in 2010 reflect decreased commercial and technological quality of wheat and point out to the need of necessary wheat safety control.

Due to stagnating thick juice purity in Austria, a project was launched in 2010 in order to compare different predictive models for assessment of the technological quality of sugar beet. Preliminary results, which had been published in 2012, demonstrated that classical predictive formulas for the quality evaluation of stored beets give significantly higher calculated thick juice purities than found under technical conditions. However, formulas which take into account the invert sugar content of beet or are solely based on sugar and refractometric dry substance content of the beet brei filtrate delivered results which were close to the values known under technical conditions. After some basic considerations about the technological beet quality the results from the comparative study of the different predictive models are discussed in which the proposed “refractometer formula” performs very well. These comparisons were carried out using fresh beet material from beet variety trials and beet material that had been collected in Austrian sugar factories throughout the whole campaign in the years 2010–2015, respectively. Eventually, some possibilities are pointed out how to maximize the benefit from information obtained by the refractometric determination of dry substance of beet brei filtrate

Introduction. Obtaining high-quality and safe poultry products is impossible without an integrated approach and competent solution of biosafety issues in farms. In conditions of poultry rearing using intensive technologies, the problem of ectoparasitic poultry damage, in particular the chicken tick Dermanyssus gallinae, is quite acute. The defeat of the bird by temporary and permanent ectoparasites is the reason for the deterioration of the quality characteristics of poultry carcasses. The goal of the work. The purpose of our research was to determination of the quality of poultry meat when affected by ectoparasites. Materials and methods of research. These studies were conducted under the conditions of the Department of Veterinary Expertise, Microbiology, Zohygiene and Safety and Quality of Livestock Products of Sumy National Agrarian University. For the study, carcasses of poultry of slaughter conditions were selected from a farm unsuccessful for the red chicken tick Dermanyssus gallinae. Results of research and discussion. In the course of the studies, it was proved that the slaughter yield of meat in chickens that were infected with ectoparasites was less compared to the slaughter yield of poultry meat obtained from farms or poultry houses that are relatively ectoparasite. In the meat of sick poultry, the moisture content increased by 2-3% and protein by 1-2%, while at the same time reducing the amount of fat by an average of 4%. As a result of studies, it was found that the changes found in meat indicated the development of pathological processes in meat, which led to the intensification of spoilage processes. Studies of carcasses obtained from healthy poultry found that they retained freshness for 9 days, and carcasses received from sick poultry, already for 5 days did not match the freshness of meat. Conclusions and prospects for further research. Based on a set of studies, we found that the qualitative indicators of meat of healthy and sick poultry differed. Intravital damage to poultry by ectoparasites caused changes in the chemical composition of meat, a decrease in its calorie content and biological value. In the future, it is planned to determine the qualitative characteristics of poultry carcasses in the associated course of nematodes and aсarosis.

AbstractMeat semi-finished products that are portioned or not, meat with the addition of a different composition of spices and oil are a common element of the commercial offer in the convenient ready to cook food segment. During the refrigeration storage in this complex system of meat, oil and spices, there is a number of physicochemical changes, including hydrolytic and oxidative changes of the oil(1). The products of these reactions become integral components of the meat subjected to heat treatment. As a result of heating, secondary oxidation products of lipids may be formed which constitute a serious health risk(2). The study was aimed at determination of the effect of spices containing antioxidants and sulfur-organic compounds on hydrolytic and oxidative changes in the oil that formed the base of the marinade in which meat was kept. Pork neck was minced and formed into burgers (250 g), rapeseed oil (120 g) and spices (5 g) were used. Four research groups were analyzed meat / oil / spices system with rosemary, oregano, garlic or onion. Oil samples were collected on the third, fifth and eighth day of refrigerated storage. The control sample was the oil from the meat / oil system only. The quality of the oil was evaluated on the basis of the acid value, peroxide value and TBARS index. In the oil with onion, garlic, rosemary and oregano the hydrolytic changes on the 8th day of storage were significantly lower compared to the control. On the basis of the average peroxide value in oil marinades with the addition of rosemary and oregano, significantly lower values of this indicator were found when using rosemary (3.61 meq O2/kg) in comparison with oregano (6.01 meq O2/kg). The average of TBARS index in marinade with onions and garlic was lower by 31% and 48%, respectively. Also the use of rosemary and oregano was effective in blocking the formation of secondary oxidation products (rosemary even three times higher than that of oregano).

In the paper, lean meat and quality of meat from pigs of 5 different genotypes were investigated: pure Landrace breed (L), genotype A; two hybrid combinations (Large Yorkshire x Landrace) x Duroc (LY x L) x D, genotype B; (Large Yorkshire x Landrace) x Pietrain (LY x L) x P, genotype C; and tow recurrent mating combinations: (Large Yorkshire x Landrace) x Large Yorkshire (F1x LY, genotype D) and (Large Yorkshire x Landrace) x Landrace (F1 x L, genotype E). Relevant indicators of lean meat were analyzed early post mortem and by method of partial dissection on cooled left carcass sides according to recommendation of EU. By analysis of obtained results it was established that the best indicator of lean meat of pig carcass sides mass of muscle tissue in four main parts. This conclusion derives from the fact that fatteners (genotype C) which had the greatest mass of muscle tissue in four main parts (15,33kg) also had the highest lean meat share in leg, shoulder, back-loin part (BLP) and belly-rib part (BRP) (69,67%, 57,71%, 54,42% and 44,99%) and highest share of muscle tissue in carcass sides when any of the mentioned investigation methods was applied (51,23 and 60,73%) compared to fatteners of other investigated genotypes. The quality of meat was investigated by determination of its technological quality and chemical composition of the MLD. Technological quality and chemical composition of MLD meat exhibited significant (*p<0,05) differences in WBC and pigment content between genotypes B and C, as well as B and E. Average values for content of ashes and share of pigments corresponds with average values characterizing muscles of normal properties. By analysis of obtained results we can conclude that fatteners of genotype E had the highest meat yield in carcass sides, but of slightly lower quality, which indicates the need for further work on improvement of meat quality. .
