Effects of Calcium Salts on the Physicochemical Quality of Cured Beef Sausages during Manufacturing and Storage: A Potential Calcium Application for Sausages with Alginate Casings

The impacts of adding calcium chloride (CaCl2) and calcium lactate (CaLac) with different concentrations (0%, 0.2%, 0.4%, and 0.7%) on the physicochemical properties of cured beef sausages were investigated in this study. Meat color, pH, lipid oxidation, and cooking loss were measured at respective manufacturing stages (ground beef, raw chopped batter, and after cooking). Additionally, meat color, pH, lipid oxidation, nitrosylhemochrome, residual nitrite, and texture profiles of vacuum-packaged sausages were evaluated during seven days of storage. Compared with the control (no Ca added), both calcium salts resulted in deteriorative color and texture properties, and promoted pH decline, cooking loss, and lipid oxidation of sausages during manufacturing and storage. However, increased calcium salt addition led to the reduction of residual nitrite over time. Compared to CaCl2 addition, 0.2–0.4% CaLac resulted in greater redness and oxidative stability and softer texture. These results may be useful when considering calcium salt additions in sausages, for the purpose of co-extruded sausages coated with alginate where Ca salts are used to form the casing during the co-extrusion of the sausages.

This study includes the investigation of the chemical properties such as pH value anda*-value, sensorial evaluations, residual nitrite and the oxidation level of Chinese-style sausagered sausage, which have been produced by both reducing the nitrite level ( 50mg/kg, 100mg/kg and 150mg/kg) and adding tomato powder ( 0%, 2% and 4%). According to the results, 100mg/kg of nitrite together with 2% tomato powder is better. Then the sausages produced with 100mg/kg nitrite and 2% tomato powder, along with sausage which produced with only 150mg/kg of nitrite are stored at 4 °C for 45 days. It was observed that addition of 2% of tomato powder increased degradation of nitrite and decreased the level of oxidation. This study provides a potential solution for nitrite substitute in meat products.

Effect of various technological processes and raw material quality on physical properties and oxidative status of dalmatian pancetta We have conducted the research on processing technology features, and physical properties of raw materials and finished products, as well as determined the level of lipid oxidation (TBA test) of final products, which indicates the safety of products and applied technology, in three Dalmatian processing facilities to determine the specifics of processing technology, implemented technology standardization strategies and the quality of traditional Dalmatian Pancetta. During our research we have recorded due details of technological procedures that were either identical or very similar in all three facilities, facility specific procedures (the length of curing phase: facility A – 14 days, facility B – 10 days, facility C – 4 days; the length of drying/ripening phase: facility A – 76 days, facility B - 80 days, facility C – 63 days) and facility micro-climate parameters (temperature, humidity and air flow). Based on identified differences in the length of processing, the weight of raw materials (class A ≥ 4.5 kg; class B > 3 < 4.5 kg), the use of defrosted raw materials (class BS), the method of curing (sea salt; sea salt + sodium nitrite; sea salt + sodium nitrite + seasoning and additives) and the quantity of used salt (from 3.21 % to 8.81 %), we have grouped our samples into 10 groups that were allocated between the 3 facilities. We have monitored the following technological parameters during the processing: quality of raw materials (origin, initial weight, length, width, pH); cooking loss per individual processing phase (curing and drying/ripening), total processing cooking loss, and quality of matured bacon (pancetta) (weight, length, pH, aw, malonaldehyde content). The loss of product weight (cooking loss) during the processing ranged from 24.28 % to 42.73 %, with the highest total cooking loss (46.86 %) measured for the class BS bacon, probably not only as a result of raw material freezing/defrosting, but lower initial weight and longer duration of processing procedure. Consequently, the class A Dalmatian Pancetta had the highest final weight (from 2.60 to 3.88 kg), while class B (from 1.75 to 3.30 kg) and class BS (from 1.75 to 2.80 kg) had the lowest final weight. Dimensions of mature bacon amounted to 38-56 cm x 16-24 cm. The initial pH of raw bacon was similar in all researched groups. Mature bacon produced in facility C, in which both classes of bacon were cured by sea salt exclusively, had a significantly higher pH (P≤0.05): class A – 6.09; class B – 6.12. The class BS bacon, at the same time, measured the lowest aw (P ≤ 0.05) (0.75), while bacons processed in facility C measured the highest aw (class B – 0.87; class A – 0.89). Bacons cured with the combination of salt, seasoning and additives (class A – 0.16 mg/kg; class B – 0.18 mg/kg) and bacon produced in facility C (0.18 mg/kg) had the lowest malonaldehyde content (0.16 to 0.18 mg/kg), while the class BS bacon cured with the mixture of sea salt and sodium nitrite had the highest malonaldehyde content. The analysis of our research results implies that greater initial weight of raw materials, longer processing and the use of defrosted raw materials have a significant impact on the increase of cooking loss, the decrease of aw and the increase of the level of lipid oxidation of mature bacon (P ≤ 0.05). Judging by the level of water activity (aw< 0.93) and the low level of lipid oxidation measured in mature products of all product groups, allocated among all three facilities, we can conclude that the traditional Dalmatian Pancetta is a product that is safe for consumption which complies with all the prescribed conditions for dry-cured meat products. However, since certain technological processes in different facilities varied considerably, to determine their impact on other parameters of the quality of the final product, with the aim of standardization of technology and improving the quality of traditional Dalmatian Pancetta, additional research is necessary.

The aim of this research was to investigate the quality of physicochemistry and microbiology of Pegagan duck meat preserved with various concentrations of liquid smoke and storage time. This study used a complete randomized design (CRD) with a 4x2 factorial pattern. The first factor was the concentration of liquid smoke solution consisted of 4 levels, namely 2; 4; 6, and 8% (v/v). The second factor was the storage time which includes 2 levels ie 12 and 24 hours. The replication used was 4 times. The observed variables were physical quality of meat (water holding capacity, cooking loss, and tenderness), chemical quality (moisture content, protein content, and fat content), and microbiological quality (total microbes, pH, acid total, and total phenol). The data were processed by analysis of variance, followed by Duncan's multiple range test (DMRT). The results showed that there was a significant interaction (P<0.05) between liquid smoke concentration and storage time to water holding capacity, cooking loss, tenderness, fat content, total phenol, total microbial, total acid, and pH in Pegagan duck meat but did not show a significant interaction with other variables. It could be concluded that the optimum liquid smoke concentration was 4% and the optimal storage time was 12 hours.

Unstable Temperature

The effect of glazing and storage temperature on lipid oxidation and sensory properties of mackerel fillets was evaluated. A total of 288 fillets were stored for 6 months under stable temperature of –18 °C and unstable temperature, which involved six temperature fluctuation cycles from –18 to –5 °C each month. Glaze determination, chemical composition, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances examination and sensory evaluation of fillets were performed. Glazing and stable temperature conditions slowed down lipid oxidation in fillets compared to unglazed samples and samples stored under unstable freezing conditions. The thiobarbituric acid reactive substances increased slowly in glazed samples and a positive effect of stable conditions was found after two months and became obvious from the fifth month of storage. Sensory scores included evaluation of taste, aroma, texture, juiciness, and appearance corresponded to chemical results. Glazed fillets had the best scores in sensory evaluation and can be recommended for consumption; on the other hand, unglazed fillets stored under unstable temperature could not be consumed because of rancidity. This is the first similar study in mackerel when unstable temperature conditions are considered as a factor increasing lipid oxidation. Prevention of temperature fluctuation during storage is important to keep the quality of the frozen fillets.

High Storage

Harvest quality of sugar beet varies according to soil conditions, harvester type and setting, and variety, too. Harvest quality may affect storage losses, in particular when injuries occur. To determine the harvest quality of commercial sugar beet and to quantify resulting storage losses, 92 commercial sugar beet clamps were sampled across Germany and information about harvest conditions were gathered. At IfZ, soil tare, leaf residues, topping diameter, root tip breakage and surface damage of the beets were determined. The beets were stored in 6 replicates in a climate container at 9°C for 10 weeks. The results demonstrate a rather good harvesting quality of sugar beet in Germany. Soil moisture at harvest did not affect harvest quality and storage losses. Very light, but also heavier soils lead to inferior harvest quality (soil tare, root tip breakage, damage) and slightly higher storage losses compared to the typical loam soils. Significant differences occurred between the three harvester types (companies). In general, high root tip breakage and severe surface damage of the beet was related to a high infestation with mould and rots, high invert sugar contents after storage and high sugar losses. Out of the five most planted varieties, in particular one turned out to be very susceptible to damage, resulting in high storage losses. The factor analysis suggests that the effect of harvester / harvester setting and of variety is more important for harvest quality and storage losses of sugar beet than soil conditions at harvest. Therefore, attention should be paid to optimize these conditions.

Various treatments are carried out in order to extend both the shelf life and storage life of fresh fruit and vegetables after harvest and among them non-toxic for humans, environmentally and economically friendly alternative treatments are gained more importance. In the current study, methyl jasmonate (MeJA), cytokinin, and lavender oil which are eco-friendly and safe for human health were applied on apricot fruit. The treated fruit were stored at 0 °C and 90–95% relative humidity for 25 days and catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) enzyme activities and lipid peroxidation of apricots after treatments were studied. According to the findings obtained from the study, it was observed that 5 ppm cytokinin and 1000 ppm lavender oil treatments of apricot fruit gave better APX and CAT enzyme activity, respectively. In addition, better SOD enzyme activity in fruit was obtained with MeJA+lavender oil treatments. As a result, it can be emphasized that the product quality of apricot fruit is preserved as both the eco-friendly application of MeJA, cytokinin, and lavender oil separately from each other and the treatment of combinations between these compounds activate the enzymatic antioxidant defense systems of apricot fruit after harvest.

The Relationship

AbstractTo evaluate the relationship between muscle fiber characteristics and the quality of frozen/thawed pork meat, four different muscles, M. longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL), M. psoas major (PM), M. semimembranosus (SM), and M. semitendinosus (ST), were analyzed from twenty carcasses. Meat color values (lightness, redness, yellowness, chroma, and hue) changed due to freezing/thawing in LTL, which showed larger IIAX, IIX, and IIXB fibers than found in SM (P < 0.05). SM and ST showed a significant decrease in purge loss and an increase in shear force caused by freezing/thawing (P < 0.05). Compared with LTL, SM contains more type IIXB muscle fibers and ST had larger muscle fibers I and IIA (P < 0.05). PM was the most stable of all muscles, since only its yellowness and chroma were affected by freezing/thawing (P < 0.05). These results suggest that pork muscle fiber characteristics of individual cuts must be considered to avoid quality deterioration during frozen storage.
