Semi-dried gourami fish (Trichogaster pectoralis) is popularly consumed domestically and exported as a frozen product. This study was conducted to prevent deterioration quality in frozen fish fillets during storage. This research aims to investigate the effects of sorbitol and citric acid at concentrations of 2.5% and 5% (w/w) of frozen gourami fish fillets compared to the fillets soaked in distilled water on physicochemical properties, such as cooking loss, cooking yield, drip loss, pH, TBARS, color, and texture profile analyses (TPA) during storage at −18 ± 2 °C for a period of 0, 20, and 40 days. The fish soaked in sorbitol and citric acid solutions had significantly (p < 0.05) higher protein and fat contents than the control sample. Sorbitol was able to retain moisture in the product; therefore, the drip loss and cooking loss were the lowest, and cooking yield was the highest among other samples (p < 0.05). The addition of 5% (w/v) citric acid in frozen fish fillets can significantly retard the thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) (p < 0.05) during storage when compared to fish soaked in sorbitol solution kept for the same period. However, the addition of citric acid resulted in low quality in texture and color of frozen fish fillets. The use of sorbitol was the best alternative in frozen fish fillet product due to reducing the negative effects of freezing quality of the products and generating a cryoprotective effect compared to the fillets soaked in distilled water.

A method to improve the physical quality of culled chicken meat is required due to the tough texture and faint color of culled chicken meat. High protein content in culled chicken meat makes it easy to experience quality degradation. One of the methods to maintain the quality of post-harvest chicken meat is using spices. Gelugur acid (Garnicia atroviridis) is a spice for cooking spice, sweets, herbs, deodorizing fresh fish, and even cleansing fish before it proceeds into the processing stage. This study aimed to determine the concentration of Garcinia atroviridis which is effective to improve the physical quality of culled chicken meat. This study used a randomized design with 4 treatments and 5 replications. The treatments consisted of T0: without marination using Garcinia atroviridis (as control), T1: marination in 50 g of Garcinia atroviridis + 1000 mL aquadest, T2: marination in 50 g of Garcinia atroviridis + 750 mL aquadest, T3: marination in 50 g of Garcinia atroviridis + 500 mL aquadest. The parameters were the physical quality of meat consisting of meat pH, water holding capacity, tenderness, cooking loss, drip loss and meat color. Based on the results of the study, Garcinia atroviridis marinade had significant effect (P <0.05) on the pH value of the meat, cooking loss, drip loss, tenderness, water holding capacity, and meat brightness. It was concluded that the marination of meat at concentration of 50 g of Garcinia atroviridis + 1000 mL aquadest (T1) was effective in maintaining the pH value, reducing meat drip loss, increasing water holding capacity, increasing tenderness, brightening the color of the meat and maintaining the freshness of the refined culled chicken meat. Marination of meat in concentration of 50 g Garcinia atroviridis + 750 mL aquadest (T2) was also effective in reducing cooking loss of culled chicken meat.

This study aimed to investigate the physical quality of silverside and sirloin meats of aceh cattle, Indonesian beef cattle native to Aceh Province. Meat samples, 250-300 gram each, were collected in triplicate from cull female Aceh cattle have different hair colors slaughtered at the Slaughter House of Banda Aceh. Meat and fat colors, marbling, texture, pH, drip loss and cooking loss were determined using the SNI method and analyzed using Chi-Square and Pearson's correlation tests. The results showed that meat color of cull female Aceh cattle have different hair colors ranged from bright to dark red and were insignificant (p>0.05) between hair colors and meat types. The texture of sirloin meat ranged from smooth to medium and that of silverside was medium. Silverside meat fat color (6.06 1.61), marbling (3.50 1.42), pH (6.68 > 0.40), drip loss (9.06 3.14%) and cooking loss (30.13 10.84%) were indifferent from those of sirloin meat (fat color 6.06 1.63, marbling 3.67 1.81, pH 6.72 0.49, drip loss 9.12 5.84%, cooking loss 32.06 7.30%). In conclusion, the physical quality of sirloin and silverside meats of cull female Aceh cattle were categorized into grade I-III and not influenced by hair colors.

Chickpea cooking water (CCW), known as aquafaba, has potential as a replacement for egg whites due to its emulsion and foaming properties which come from the proteins and starch that leach out from chickpeas into the cooking water. High pressure (HP) processing has the ability to modify the functional characteristics of proteins. It is hypothesized that HP processing could favorably affect the functional properties of CCW proteins by influencing their structure. The objective of this study to evaluate the effect of HP treatment on the associated secondary structure, emulsion properties and thermal characteristics of CCW proteins. A central composite rotatable design is used with pressure level (227–573 MPa) and treatment time (6–24 min) as HP variables, and concentration of freeze dried CCW aquafaba powder (11–29%) as product variable, and compared to untreated CCW powder. HP improves aquafaba emulsion properties compared to control sample. HP reduces protein aggregates by 33.3%, while β-sheets decreases by 4.2–87.6% in which both correlated to increasing protein digestibility. α-helices drops by 50%. It affects the intensity of some HP treated samples, but not the trend of bands in most of them. HP treatment decreases Td and enthalpy because of increasing the degree of denaturation.

Alternaria dauci (J.G. Kühn) J.W. Groves et Skolko and A. radicina Meier, Drechsler et E.D. Eddy are important seed-transmitted pathogens of carrot. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of acetic acid treatments on the quality of stored carrot seeds. Seeds of two samples were soaked for 30 min in 0.5, 1 and 2% acetic acid. Controls included untreated seeds, seeds soaked in distilled water and seeds treated with fungicide Zaprawa Nasienna T 75 WS/DS (a.i. thiram 75%). Germination, vigour and health of untreated and treated seeds were evaluated before and after 5 and 12 months of storage at 4 and 20 °C. Seeds of both samples treated with 0.5 and 1% acetic acid were characterized by higher germination capacity after storage than untreated seeds. However, treatments with 1 and 2% acetic acid negatively affected seed vigour. Generally, seeds of both samples treated with acetic acid were characterized by lower infestation with A. alternata and A. radicina after storage than untreated seeds and seeds soaked in distilled water. Moreover, acetic acid often controlled these fungi more effectively than the fungicide. Regardless of the storage duration, infestation with fungi was higher if seeds of both samples were stored at a lower temperature.

Background: New methodologies have been developed seeking to maximize pregnancy rate in female dogs created in commercial kennels, and also in order to maintain the quality of canine semen after dilution, refrigeration or freezing. One of the main factors that generate damage to sperm is oxidative stress, to minimize sperm damage, selenium and antioxidants like vitamin E are administered, by oral administration, seeking to improve the quality of semen. The objective was to study the effect of vitamin E and selenium, by oral administration, in the quality of fresh, refrigerated and frozen semen in adult dogs French Bulldog breed.Materials, Methods & Results: Semen samples were collected from 5 adult dogs, French Bulldog breed, being 2 semen drawing before the daily oral supplementation with vitamin E and selenium (ESE®) and semen drawing at 20, 40 and 60 days after the beginning of oral supplement. The ejaculated samples were diluted in TRIS - fructose citric acid (3.28 g TRIS-hydroxy-methyl-amino-methane, 1.78 g of citric acid monohydrate and 1.25 g of D - fructose, dissolved in 100 mL of distilled water and added of 20% egg yolk and 6% of glycerol. The characteristics evaluated in fresh semen were: volume (mL), color, appearance, concentration (x106 / mL), sperm motility (%), sperm strength (1 to 5) and morphology (%). For refrigerated and frozen semen were analyzed: sperm motility (%), sperm strength (1-5) and morphology (%). Diluted semen samples were centrifuged at: 1500 g/10 min and “pellets” formed by sperm of each ejaculated, detached from the tube wall were diluted homogeneously in the diluent TRIS type up to the final volume of 1.5 mL. After that, packaged in 0.5 mL French straws, kept under refrigeration at 5ºC/4 h, placed in nitrogen vapor at -120ºC/15 min, and dipped in liquid nitrogen at -196ºC and then stored on identified rachis and stored in liquid nitrogen container until the time of thawing in  water bath at 37°C/30 s for semen microscopic analysis. Data from fresh, refrigerated and frozen semen were statistically analyzed by analysis of variance and the average compared by 5% of Tukey test. Fresh semen sperm concentration differed (P < 0.05) between the samples, rising after 40 days after the beginning of oral supplementation with selenium and vitamin E. For the spermatic strength, better score (P < 0.05) was observed at collection 4, in 40 days after the beginning of oral supplementation to dogs. For fresh and refrigerated semen, the total defects, defects of head, acrosome and tail did not differ (P > 0.05) between the samples. Total sperm defects and minor head and tail defects did not differ (P > 0.05) between the samples in post-thawing. Regarding the acrosome defects after thawing, there was a significant reduction (P < 0.05) in samples performed 40 and 60 days after the beginning of oral supplementation with selenium and vitamin E.Discussion: Attention should be paid for what purpose the extenders within the refrigeration or freezing biotech will be used. The managed supplement, by oral administration, containing selenium and vitamin E, influenced beneficially raising the sperm concentration in fresh semen and decreasing the acrosome defects in frozen semen. Oral administration of supplementation with selenium and vitamin E is recommended for improving the quality of fresh and frozen semen in dogs.
