Sun dried (T. fasciata) was stored with airtight polyethylene bags at room temperature to investigate the changes in physical, chemical, microbiological and sensory characteristics for 90 days. Sensory and physical (water reconstitution, pH) characteristics of dried T. fasciata showed that the product was acceptable up to 60 days of storage. Moisture content of T. fasciata was significantly increased from 15.06% to 17.80% during the storage period. No significant difference was observed in protein, lipid and ash content on dry matter basis during storage. However, amount of lipids of the dried fish was slightly decreased with the increasing of storage time. The pH value of dried T. fasciata was decreased significantly from 6.51 to 5.94 during the storage period. The peroxide value was increased from 13.84 to 27.87 meq/Kg of lipid. Similarly, acid value and conjugated diene of the lipids were increased significantly, and this result suggested that lipid oxidation occurred over this period of time. Microbial load was also increased from 1.13 to 8.37 log CFU/g with the increasing of storage time. Results of this study showed that the product was oxidized marginally during the storage period and suitable for human consumption up to 60 days.

The experiment was carried out to prepare mustard ilish at the laboratory and observe the effects ofpackaging on the quality parameters of the product at room temperature (28°C to 32°C). Biochemical andmicrobiological changes in mustard ilish prepared from Hilsa shad (Tanualosa ilisha) were determined. It wasobserved that percent moisture, protein, lipid, ash content and pH value in mustard ilish decreased afterpreparation of the product than those values obtained for raw fish. In quality parameters study, at roomtemperature (28°C to 32°C), percent moisture, and ash contents increased throughout the storage period, butprotein and lipid contents decreased. The TVB-N, peroxide value and standard plate count (SPC) of bacteriaincreased with the progress of storage time but the rate of increment was comparatively slower in sealed andvacuum sealed packs than the rate observed for non-sealed pack. Therefore, on the basis of above mentionedpoints, the present study could be concluded as-though mustard ilish remain in acceptable condition for ashort time at room temperature (28°C to 32°C) but packaging has some effect on the extension of shelf life ofthe product.

The objective of this study was to investigate the changes in physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory properties of sun-dried Mystus vittatus during storage at ambient temperature. The fish was dried under sun exposure on bamboo mats for 5–6 days until the moisture content reduced to approximately 10–15%. The dried fish was then packed into airtight polyethylene bags and stored at ambient temperature (24 to 29 °C) for 90 days. The physical and sensory properties revealed that the dried fish was acceptable for human consumption for up to 60 days. The pH value slightly decreased from 6.42 to 5.95 during the storage period. The moisture content increased significantly (p < 0.05), while no significant difference was observed for the protein, lipid, and ash contents (on a dry matter basis) with the increase in the storage time. The peroxide value, acid value, and conjugated dienes of the lipids increased significantly during the storage period. The microbial load also increased with the increase in the storage period. The results of this study suggest that the product was slightly oxidized during the storage period and could be stored for up to two months.

The experiment was conducted to find out the effect of salt and storage temperature on the physico-chemical properties of meatball. For this purpose meatball samples were divided into two parts; one is called fresh meatball and another is preserved meatball at different temperatures. Then the fresh samples as well as the preserved samples were divided into four subdivisions. Then these are treated with different salt levels (0, 1.5, 3 and 5% salt level).These Samples were stored at 4oC and -20oC temperature. Samples preserved at 4oC were stored in the refrigerator for 21 days and were analyzed on 7th day, 14th day and 21st day and samples preserved at -20oCwere stored in the refrigerator for 60 days and were analyzed on 15th day, 30th day, 45th day and 60thday. Dry matter content of all the samples increased with the advancement of storage time, temperature and salt concentration. Ash value decreased with the increase of storage time. Fat value of all the samples decreased with the advancement of salt concentration, storage time and temperature. pH value of all the samples decreased with the increasing of salt concentration, storage time and temperature. Cooking loss of all the samples increased with increasing of salt concentration but decreased with increasing of storage time and temperature. Dry matter in fresh sample were less than in preserved samples. CP % of fresh beef meatball was 22.31, 20.55, 14.55 and 20.13 at different salt concentration. The values of CP, DM, Ash and Fat also varied among the samples significantly (P<0.01). Beef meatball can be refrigerated for 60 days in different techniques with more or less difference in the quality. Highly significant differences are observed in preserved samples than in fresh samples at different salt levels. Fresh beef meatball treated with 1.5% salt found to be more acceptable in terms of sensory evaluation.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/pa.v24i1-2.19117 Progress. Agric. 24(1&2): 137 - 147, 2013

Pearl millet based supplementary food mix was prepared with 5.0 per cent incorporation of carrot and araikeerai (Amaranthus dubius) powder. The food mix was packed in polyethylene bags (P1), Metallized Polyethylene Pouches (P2) and Polyethylene terephthalate jars (P3) and stored at room temperature. The initial free fatty acid content of supplementary food mix was 0.231 per cent of oleic acid which had changed to 0.274, 0.257 and 0.248 per cent of oleic acid in P1, P2 and P3, respectively after 180 days of storage. The freshly prepared supplementary food mix contained 1.2 mEq / kg of peroxide value. The corresponding values at the end of the storage were 3.9 (P1), 2.8 (P2) and 2.4 (P3) mEq / kg of peroxide value. Initially the supplementary food mix had 8,048 mg of b-carotene per 100 g and after 180 days of storage period, the b-carotene reduced to 6,586 in P1, 7,236 in P2 and 7,215 mg / 100 g in P3.  The freshly prepared supplementary food mix contained 2.85 mg of ascorbic acid, which had reduced to 2.17 (P1), 2.36 (P2) and 2.51 mg / 100 g (P3) at the end of storage period. The study revealed that the supplementary food mix packed in Polyethylene terephthalate jars had undergone minimum changes in physico-chemical characteristics. Hence, it is concluded that the storage of supplementary mix in Polyethylene terephthalate jars extent the shelf life of the product and reduce the nutrient losses during storage.

The rheological behaviour of egg yolk after different storage periods and temperatures was investigated using rotational viscometer. The eggs were stored for 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8 weeks at constant temperatures: 4 °C, 8 °C, 12 °C and 16 °C. The apparent viscosity was measured as a function of shear rate. For given shearing rate, the viscosity was measured in dependence on shearing time. The decrease of viscosity with storage time is attributed to the balance of different osmotic pressure from yolk and albumen of fresh egg. The yolk (with higher dry matter then albumen) absorbs water from albumen through vitelline membrane. It was found that yolk samples exhibited shear-thinning and thixotropic behaviour. The shear-thinning behaviour was fitted well into simple models. The resting of sample at room temperature caused increase of viscosity. This effect is explained by drying off of testing yolk, the regeneration of yolk structures and changing chemical composition during resting. The time-dependant viscosity decreased rapidly with time and at lower share rates reached an equilibrium stage. The time-dependant viscosity was also found to decrease with storage time. The value of pH was changed (increased) during storing. No clear dependence between pH value and viscosity was confirmed.

Studies carried out to develop a technique for the preservation of cow's milk in raw condition using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a preservative. Fresh cow’s milk was collected and experiments were conducted by four treatments in order to achieve the optimum condition of storage. The treatments were with various concentration of H2O2 starting from 0.05 %, 0.1 %, 0.2 %, 0.3 %, 0.4 %, & 0.5 %. Treated milk with 0.05 % concentration of H2O2 had storage period of 20 days compared to that of the control one (5 days only) in refrigerated temperature (±8°C). On the other hand hydrogen peroxide treated milk (0.05 %) had a storage period of 8 hours at room temperature (±28°C). Results also showed that the higher concentration of H2O2 had no effect on storage period than that of control. Milk products like kheer and halawa prepared by treated milk and stored for 20 days showed almost nil growth of total coliform and E. coli which means that food products prepared from hydrogen peroxide treated milk is safe for human consumption.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the preservative efficacy of benzalkonium chloride, thimerosal and benzyl alcohol in eye drops formulation containing chloramphenicol as the active agents for producing the sterile and effective eye drops.Methods: The efficacy of preservatives was assayed by evaluating the physical appearance, pH stability, sterility and the antibacterial effectivity of the formulated eye drops. Each of 0.5% chloramphenicol was formulated with different preservatives of benzalkonium chloride, thimerosal and benzyl alcohol at its recommended concentration, 0.01%; 0.01% and 1%, respectively. The in vitro stability was examined periodically for the eye drops formulation stored at room temperature during the 28-day period. The effectiveness of the antibacterial effect of chloramphenicol in eye drops was assayed by using the agar diffusion method against Escherichia coli and evaluated for the diameter of inhibition zones. Result: The clarity of the eye drops formula produced clear solutions. The eye drops formula exhibited relatively stabile on pH. All the formulated eye drops were sterile during the storage time. The appropriate of the sterilization method was thought to contribute to the sterility of eye drops which did not contain preservatives. In addition, it was assumed that the pre-reaction of chloramphenicol in inhibiting the contaminants in the eye drop may occur during the storage time. This hypothesis was confirmed by the inhibitory diameter stability produced by the eye drop formulas containing preservatives compared to that of not. The decrease in inhibition diameter occurred during the storage period (28 d) of each formula was as follows: F0 (51.58%), F1 (35.76%), F2 (31.86%), and F3 (35.35%). The best stability based on the antibacterial activity of the chloramphenicol eye drops was produced by F2 which used 0.01% thimerosal as its preservative. The differences in inhibition diameter were significantly influenced by the presence and the type of preservatives. Conclusion: 0.01% thimerosal indicated the best improvement on the efficacy of 0.5% chloramphenicol eye drop.

Foram obtidos dois produtos de banana por desidratação osmótica, um sob pressão atmosférica e outro sob vácuo, com complemento de secagem em estufa. A estabilidade dos produtos foi estudada, durante 120 dias, mediante análises físico-químicas, microbiológicas e sensoriais. Nesse período, os produtos ficaram armazenados em temperatura ambiente (23,4-34,1oC) e umidade relativa entre 33-81%. Concluiu-se que os produtos mantiveram suas características químicas, físico-químicas e sensoriais, além de estabilidade microbiológica (pouca variação durante o período de armazenamento). Somente a cor dos produtos apresentou variação expressiva. Sugere-se o tratamento utilizando osmose com vácuo seguido de secagem para produção de banana passa. EVALUATION OF PRODUCTS OBTAINED BY THE BANANA’S OSMOTIC DEHYDRATION FOLLOWED OF DRYING Abstract It was obtained two bananas products through osmotic dehydration, one under atmospheric pressure and other under vacuum, with drying complement in stove. The storage stability of these products was studied, during 120 days, through physicalchemical, microbiological and sensorial analysis. In this period, the products were stored at room temperature (23,4-34,1oC) and relative humidity between 33-81%. It was concluded that the obtained products maintained their chemical, physico-chemical and sensory characteristics, beyond microbiological stability (small variations during the storage period). Only the color of the produtcs presented more expressive variations. Therefore it is suggested the treatment using osmosis with vacuum followed by oven drying for the production of banana fig.

Clove oil is the volatile essential oil obtained from Syzygium aromaticum. Eugenol, which is the main component, has antimicrobial, antifungal activity and antioxidant. From antiseptic activity, clove oil can be used in treatment of oral cavity infection. The aims of this research are to formulate and evaluate clove oil mucoadhesive gel for oral applications. Gel bases were prepared from Poloxamer 407 (P407). The effect of clove oil, P407 and xanthan gum on formulations were studied. Clove oil preparations were evaluated for their physicochemical properties (physical appearance, pH, viscosity, gelling capacity and gel dissolving time at 37 °C in artificial saliva). Mucoadhesive property was studied using porcine buccal mucosa. The amount of eugenol in clove oil was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC). Stability study of clove oil gel was performed under stress and room temperature conditions (1 month). The results showed that preparations containing 0% and 1% clove oil were in situ gel while those containing 3% and 5% clove oil were gel. All formulations showed good and clear physical appearance with the pH value of 5.2. The gelling capacity and gel dissolving time of more than 15 minutes in artificial saliva at 37°C was found in all preparations. They also showed mucoadhesive property. The GC results showed that the amount of eugenol in clove oil were 99.52 ± 0.51 %V/V. The preparations containing 1% clove oil showed good physical and chemical stability after storage at room temperature for 1 month. There was no significant difference in the amount of eugenol after storage (p>0.05). In conclusion, the preparations containing 20% P407 and 1% clove oil are the most appropriate formulation.

The experiment was conducted to examine the effect of freezing and defrosting methods on the quality of beef. Two types of beef samples named as fresh and cured beef samples were taken. Both types were divided into three sub divisions namely air, water and microwave oven. These samples were stored at -20°C temperature in the freezer for 90 days and analyzed on 10th, 45th and 90th day. The dry matter, crude protein, ether extract and ash percentages and standard plate count (SPC) were differed significantly (p<0.01) among the air, water and microwave defrosted samples. Up to 90th days of freezing at -200C dry matter content increased with the increase of storage time almost in all samples except microwave fresh samples. The protein content decreased with the increase of storage time from 10 to 45 days but increased from 45 to 90 days. The ash content decreased with the increase of storage time in case of fresh frozen samples but increased with the increase of storage time in case of cured frozen samples except microwave oven cured sample. Ether extract value gradually increased with the increasing of storage period in case of air fresh, water fresh, air cured and water cured frozen samples but decreased with the increasing of storage period in case of microwave oven fresh and microwave oven cured samples. The SPC value increased with the increase of storage time in case of all samples and differed significantly (p<0.01) among the parameters. The cured microwave defrosted beef was proved as the best technique of defrosting frozen beef.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjas.v43i3.21649 Bang. J. Anim. Sci. 2014. 43 (3): 202-206
