Background: The present study was undertaken to study the effect of different packaging methods on the shelf-life of iron fortified mozzarella cheese prepared from cow milk, goat milk and mixed milk using kiwi fruit extract.Methods: Mozzarella cheese samples were packed both aerobically and under vacuum packaging condition and microbiological load (Total viable count, Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Staphylococcus aureus, yeast and moulds and spores count) were monitored throughout the storage period in order to determine its shelf-life. Result: The total viable count (TVC) increased gradually from 0 day till 15 days of refrigerated storage for all the samples of iron fortified mozzarella cheese under both aerobic and vacuum packaging conditions irrespective of the types of milk and enzymes used. Under aerobic packaging condition, highest total viable count was observed for goat’s milk sample in both control and treatment groups all throughout the storage period. Mixed milk iron fortified mozzarella cheese exhibited least count in both the groups. The TVC of all the cheese samples were higher in aerobic packaging compared to vacuum packaging condition. The shelf-life or best before use of the product could judged as 15d from the date of manufacturing.

The effects of reduced water activity and different packaging materials were investigated regarding shelf life extension of Thai red curry paste and sour curry paste. Curry pastes supplemented with 10% sodium chloride and dried at 50°C for 120 minutes and original red and sour curry pastes were evaluated for physical, chemical and microbiological properties. Results showed that L*, a*, and b* values and total viable count in supplemented curry pastes were less than in original curry pastes. Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Clostridium perfringens, Salmonella spp. and Escherchia coli were not detected in both supplemented and original curry pastes. Protein, fat, fibre, carbohydrate, total phenolic content and IC50 value of supplemented curry pastes did not differ from the original curry pastes. Both supplemented and original curry pastes were vacuum packed in aluminium foil and nylon bags and stored at 25°C for 8 weeks. Results revealed that nylon bags gave higher shelf life extension for supplemented curry pastes over the storage period. Values of water activity, moisture, aflatoxin, total viable count and mould count in supplemented curry pastes packed in nylon bags were less than the Thai community product standards.

This paper compared the chemical (Proximate and mineral), acidity, microbial count and organoleptic properties of yoghurt samples produced from Nigeria locally bred goat and cow milk with commercially retail yoghurt during 14days of refrigerated storage. Yoghurt production was conducted by inoculation of the milk samples at 43oC for 6hrs with 2% of streptococcus thermophillus and lactobacillus bulgarus active culture. The total ash content of yoghurt ranges from 0.23g/100g in the commercial yoghurt sample to 0.84g/100g in yoghurt from goat  milk which is considered significantly higher than that observed for yoghurt from cow milk. The commercially retail yoghurt had a significantly higher (P < 0.05) total solid matter than yoghurt from goat and cow milk. Calcium and phosphorus contents were significantly (P < 0.05) lowest in the commercial yoghurt (0.28%) to a significant higher value of 0.28% in goat milk. A statisitically significant drop in pH values was observed in the commercial yoghurt sample after one and two week storage compared to yoghurt from goat and cow milk. High lactic acid bacteria were observed in yoghurt from cow milk with lactococci group being higher than the lactobacilli group throughout the storage period. The yeast count range from a significant low (P < 05) value of 2.22 cfu/ml-1 in commercial yoghurt sample to 3.22 and 3.24 in goat and cow milk respectively on day zero of storage. By the 7days of storage, the commercially retail yoghurt was significant (P < 0.05) least desirable with respect to colour, taste and overall acceptability while there was no significant difference in the consistency of all the yoghurt samples.

The aim of the study was the evaluation and mathematical modeling of the effect of active modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), by the incorporation of CO2 emitters in the package, on the microbial stability and shelf life of gutted sea bass during refrigerated storage. Gutted sea bass samples were packaged in modified atmosphere (50% CO2–40% N2–10% O2) with and without CO2 emitters (ACT-MAP, MAP) (gas/product volume ratio 3:1) and stored at isothermal conditions: 0 °C, 5 °C, and 10 °C. The gas concentration in the package headspace (%CO2, %O2) and microbial growth (total viable count, TVC, Pseudomonas spp., Enterobacteriaceae spp., lactic acid bacteria) were monitored during storage. The microbial growth was modeled using the Baranyi growth model, and the kinetic parameters (microbial growth rate, lag phase) were estimated at the tested temperature and packaging conditions. The results showed that the ACT-MAP samples presented significantly lower microbial growth compared to the MAP samples. The growth rate of the total viable count at 0 °C was 0.175 and 0.138 d−1 for the MAP and ACT-MAP sea bass, respectively (p < 0.05). The shelf life of the MAP sea bass at 0–10 °C (based on a final TVC value: 7 log CFU g−1) was extended 4–7 days with the addition of a CO2 emitter in the package. The CO2 concentration in the ACT-MAP samples was stabilized at approximately 60%, while the CO2 in the MAP samples was approximately 40% at the end of the shelf life.

The aim of this study, the effect of addition to salep at different concentrations (2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10%) into sucuk on physicochemical, textural and sensorial properties were investigated at d fermentation and storage periods (5., 10., 20. ve 30. days). The results indicated that TBARS values gradually increased during fermentation and storage periods in all treatment groups. However, addition of 10% salep decreased TBARS values compared to control group at the end of fermentation and storage period. pH values of sucuks were decreased with addition of salep. Higher L* values were observed in sucuk with 10% salep at the end of the fermentation and storage period. Increasing levels of salep in sucuk formulation caused an increase in hardness and ash values, a decrease in moisture values in sucuk. The results of this study indicated that salep may be used in sucuk manufacture by the meat industry to improve shelf-life and quality parameters of the product.

AbstractTo evaluate and anticipate the microbial changes of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrixi) during cold storage (0, 5, 10, 15 & 21 day) at different sous vide processing temperatures (60, 65, 70, and 75 °C), changes in microbial load of Enterobacteriaceae, Lactic Acid bacteria (LAB), Pseudomonas, Psychrotrophs, and total viable count (TVC) were considered. A radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) model was established to predict the changes in the microbial content of silver carp. The critical temperature for inactivation of Enterobacteriaceae and lactic acid bacteria was 65 °C and for Pseudomonas and Psychrotrophs was 70 °C and the highest value (75 °C) was observed for the total viable count. In samples processed at 75 °C, the presence of Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas and Psychrotrophs were not detectable up to 15 days of storage and lactic acid bacteria were not detectable even at the end of the storage period. The optimal ANN topology for modeling Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas, and Psychrotroph contained 9 neurons in the hidden layer, but for TVC and LAB, it was 14 neurons.

Gray Triggerfish

Seafood products are perceived as healthy foods. However, several species of seafood are still not fully utilized for different reasons or can be valued outside the original locale, if issues with the short shelf-life and/or the preparation/presentation form are overcome, e.g., gray triggerfish, Balistes capriscus. Consumed mostly fresh, its flesh is of excellent quality. We studied the effect of different types of packaging (in air (AIR), vacuum (VP), and modified atmosphere (MAP)) on physicochemical (color and texture, pH, and total volatile basic nitrogen), microbiological (total viable count, psychrotrophic, sulphide-reducing bacteria, and acid-lactic bacteria), and sensory qualities, and shelf-life of gray triggerfish fillets stored at refrigeration temperature for 15 days. The samples were analyzed on days 0 (fresh fish), 5, 10 (8 and 12 for sensory analysis), and 15 after filleting and packaging. During the trial, fillets became lighter (increased L*) and yellower (b* >> 0) with time of storage. Distinct patterns were observed for pH among treatments. Unexpectedly, the increasing trend observed in the texturometer-derived hardness of VP and MAP fillets, contrasted with the sensory assessment, wherein panelists perceived a clear softening of fillets. VP delayed and MAP inhibited the increase in TVB-N contents of fillets compared to fillets packed in AIR. Total viable count and psychrothropic bacteria of fillets in AIR exceeded the conventional limit of 7 log(CFU/g) on day 10, while in fillets packed in VP and MAP, their abundance remained below that limit during the trial. The organoleptic attributes of fillets perceived by a sensory panel changed significantly in all treatments during the storage trial. Willingness to consume the fillets decreased constantly in AIR and MAP, but not in VP fillets. Considering primarily sensory, but also biochemical and microbiological parameters, namely panelists’ rejection, total volatile basic nitrogen content, and total viable count and psychrotrophic bacteria abundance, the shelf-life of fillets packed in air was eight days. Vacuum and modified atmosphere packaging extended the shelf-life to 15 and 12 days, and thus can add value to this product. Future research regarding the VP and MAP of gray triggerfish fillets could involve the optimization of mixtures of gases use and/or the application of combined processes.

Mozzarella Cheese

The article shows the prospects for the production of Mozzarella cheese of goat milk and dry sourdough. Cheese contains vital nutritional components, they are biologically complete and play an important role in the diet. Searching for new resources is an urgent problem. The solution may be to expand the range of cheeses not only of cow milk, but also of other farm animals, for example, goats. Their milk is absorbed faster and is used in medical and preventive nutrition. On the consumer market goat milk products are mainly represented by farms, and their range is small. The authors carried out the research on the selection of starter cultures containing probiotic cultures from bifidobacteria, acidophilus bacillus and thermophilic streptococcus, to optimize the technological process for the production of Mozzarella cheese based on goat milk. These cultures represent a beneficial microflora that inhabits the human body, helping to absorb nutrients and digest food. An important quality of probiotics that ensures their physiological effect is their high growth rate and compatibility with other microorganisms present in the gastrointestinal tract. It has been found that all the studied samples of goat milk in terms of composition have indicators that meet the requirements of GOST for goat milk. Comparative analysis of cow and goat milk has shown predominant indicators of the quality of goat milk in comparison with cow milk. The processes of coagulation and fermentation of goat milk under the influence of various starter cultures have been studied. The use of ABT-5-Probio-TecTM probiotic starter culture, which accelerates the technological process and imparts functional properties to the product, has been substantiated. The possibility of using goat milk in the production of cheeses with cheddaring and thermomechanical processing has been proven. Microscopic examination of a sample of Mozzarella cheese on ABT-5 sourdough has shown that bifidobacteria survive after heat treatment at high temperatures.

A real-time CO2 evolution rate (CER) method together with conventional cultural and sensory techniques were utilized to determine the microbial quality and shelf life of several types of shrimp products: chloramphenicol (CAP) treated, imported farm raised, and domestic wild caught. Treatment with CAP was used to create different bacterial loads in shrimp samples to demonstrate the ability and sensitivity of the CER method for differentiating the bacterial activity in samples. Samples were divided into control (nontreated) and 0, 10, and 30 ppm of CAP treatment groups and stored at 4°C. The CER was recorded with a microrespirometer, and aerobic plate counts (APCs), olfactory sensory analyses, and pH measurements were recorded daily until spoilage occurred. The real-time CER results were highly correlated with the APCs (R2 = 0.93) and readily distinguished the onset of spoilage in each of the treatment groups. CAP treatment at 10 and 30 ppm increased the sample shelf life by 2 and 3 days, respectively, compared with the nontreated samples. Untreated domestic wild-caught shrimp had a shelf life 1 day longer than that of the untreated imported farm-raised shrimp. No pattern of change in pH was noted throughout the storage period. When the olfactory sensory scores reached the marginally acceptable level, the mean CER was 27.23 μl/h/g and the mean APC was 5.78 log CFU/g. A cutoff CER of 25.0 μl/h/g was therefore selected to define acceptable raw shrimp. The CER method was a highly effective and sensitive real-time method for determining the microbial quality of raw shrimp.

Physicochemical, microbiological and sensory attributes of fresh and cold-stored (5–15 days) fermented zabadi from goat’s milk were analysed and then compared with those of cow’s milk. Results indicated that the gross nutrients of fresh goat’s milk changed after processing. Zabadi fermentation significantly decreased the lactose content and pH of the fresh milk in both zabadi types. Cow-milk zabadi was more viscous than goat-milk zabadi. Cold storage resulted in significant changes in gross composition of both zabadi types, in particular after 10 days of storage. Lactose and pH decreased further if the storage period was prolonged. Lactobacillus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are the main active organisms in goat- and cow-milk zabadi. The number of total bacteria and yeast increased significantly within 10 days of storage, decreasing thereafter. Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella spp. were absent. Coliforms and faecal coliforms were detected in both zabadi types; however, they disappeared after 5 days of storage. Goat-milk zabadi showed significantly lower sensory scores than cow-milk zabadi. Both zabadi types can withstand storage to a maximum of 10 days, with the sensory scores decreasing thereafter.
