Quality Properties of Chicken Emulsion-Type Sausages Formulated with Chicken Fatty Byproducts

During poultry slaughtering, fatty byproducts are generated, mainly comprising abdominal and gizzard fat, which are mostly discarded and result in consequent environmental problems. The objective of this work was to use these fatty byproducts as fatty raw material in the production of chicken sausages (emulsion-type). They were applied for the partial replacement (40% and 50%) of chicken skin (fatty source usually used in chicken sausages). The effect of these partial replacements on the quality properties (proximate composition, lipid profile, color, texture, and microbiological and sensory properties) of chicken sausages were assessed. Sausages with fatty byproducts added (40% and 50%) showed lower moisture but higher fat content than control. Nevertheless, all of them meet the nutritional requirements of the Colombian regulation for this type of meat product. Sausages with 40% and 50% substitution level showed similar texture properties and microbiological quality as control. When these fatty byproducts were used at 50% substitution level, differences in several color properties and sensorial attributes (color, flavor, and meat taste) were noticed with respect to control. When the substitution level was reduced to 40%, no sensorial differences were detected. Chicken fatty byproducts can be successfully applied as partial replacement of chicken skin in emulsion-type sausages.

Salted Meat

Sodium reduction in salted meat is a major technological challenge due to the technological functions of NaCl, responsible for the reduction of water activity and consequent microbiological safety, stability during shelf life, sensory characteristics, proteolysis and lipolysis. The objective of this research is to evaluate the effects of partial replacement of NaCl by KCl and CaCl2 in the texture properties during 180 days of storage in salted meat. During 180 days of storage, a significant decrease (P < 0.05) of shear force values have been observed in all treatments. The electrophoretic images suggest that CaCl2 can promote denaturation of high molecular weight proteins resulting in lower molecular weight proteins. The results showed the intense effects of CaCl2 on texture and proteolysis reactions and the blend NaCl + KCl produced a similar impact to salted meat product compared to control treatment (100% NaCl).

The quality, safety, and suitability of animal fat for processing of a specific meat product is a critical issue. Increasing the human awareness about the health aspects associated with increased intake of animal fat, makes camel fat a suitable raw material for meat processing due to its excellent nutritional contribution. Therefore, the target of this study is examination of the sensory, physicochemical, fat oxidation, fatty acid profile, and other quality parameters of camel fat to evaluate the feasibility for processing of different meat products. To achieve this goal, 30 fat samples each from the hump, renal, and mesentery of Arabian male camels were investigated. The results showed that both the renal and mesenteric fat had honey color and medium-soft texture, while the hump had greyish-white color and hard texture. The sensory panel scores were significantly different between the hump and other fats. Hump fat had significantly (P<0.05) higher moisture, protein, and collagen content, while higher fat content was recorded in mesenteric fat. The fatty acid analysis showed that hump had high SFA and very low PUFA in comparison with both renal and mesenteric fat. Camel fat had high oxidation stability, and the mean values were very low in comparison with the levels of quality and acceptability. The ultrastructural analysis showed that hump fat had high elastin fibers which increase its hardness. The results indicated that both renal and mesenteric fat were more suitable for the production of various meat products than the hump.

The study aimed at assessing effects of partial replacement (0–40%) of wheat flour with roasted flaxseed flour (RFSF) on the quality attributes of biscuits. Nutritional, antioxidative, volatile and sensory properties, as well as texture analysis and the contents of macroelements and microelement were studied. Increasing RFSF content in biscuits resulted in a significant increase (p < 0.05) in protein (from 8.35% to 10.77%), fat (from 15.19% to 28.34%) and ash (from 1.23% to 2.60%) while the hardness and spread factor of the biscuits decreased with the increased level of roasted flaxseed flour. Moreover, the addition of 40% RFSF registered a positive influence on the fibre content of the final baked biscuits, increasing its value about 6.7-fold than in the control sample. Total phenolic content, antioxidant activity and biscuits’ aroma volatile profile increased their amounts with RFSF addition. The nutritional, textural and sensorial results of the present study demonstrated that 25% RFSF could be added in the biscuits manufacturing without affecting the biscuits aftertaste, offering promising healthy and nutritious alternative to consumers.

There is a serious need to develop and test new biodegradable packaging which could at least partially replace petroleum-based materials. Therefore, the objective of this work was to examine the influence of the recently developed furcellaran nanocomposite film with silver nanoparticles (obtained by an in situ method) on the quality properties of two cheese varieties: a rennet-curd (gouda) and an acid-curd (quark) cheese. The water content, physicochemical properties, microbiological and organoleptic quality of cheese, and migration of silver nanoparticles were examined. Both the number of Lactococcus and total bacteria count did not differ during storage of gouda regardless of the packaging applied. The number of Lactococcus decreased in analogous quark samples. The use of the film slowed down and inhibited the growth of yeast in gouda and quark, respectively. An inhibitory effect of this film on mold count was also observed; however, only regarding gouda. The level of silver migration was found to be lower in quark than in gouda. The film improved the microbiological quality of cheeses during storage. Consequently, it is worth continuing research for the improvement of this film in order to enable its use in everyday life.

Yellow pea and faba bean are potential candidates to replace soybean-based ingredients due to their suitability for cultivation in the northern hemisphere, non-genetically modified organisms cultivation practice and low risk of allergenicity. This study examined the functionality of local yellow pea and faba bean protein isolates/concentrate as meat analogue products. The most critical factors affecting the texture properties of meat analogue were also determined. Extrusion was used to produce high-moisture meat analogues (HMMAs) from yellow pea and faba bean protein isolates/concentrates and HMMAs with fibrous layered structures was successfully produced from both imported commercial and local sources. The texture properties of the HMMA produced were mainly affected by the ash, fiber and protein content and water-holding capacity of the source protein. Three extrusion process parameters (target moisture content, extrusion temperature, screw speed), also significantly affected HMMA texture. In conclusion, functional HMMA can be produced using protein isolates derived from locally grown pulses.

The Impact

Abstract Italian salami is a cured meat with high sodium contents which is easy, fast and convenient to consume. Starter cultures are used to improve its sensory characteristics and refine its technological manufacturing process. The goal of this study was to reduce the sodium content in Italian salami through the partial replacement of sodium chloride by potassium chloride, magnesium chloride and calcium chloride, and evaluate the viability of the Lactobacillus sp. and Staphylococcus sp. cells found in the starter culture. Four formulations were elaborated: one with, and one without the starter culture, but both with the addition of sodium chloride; and two with the partial replacement of 60% of the sodium chloride: the first with KCl, and the other with a mixture of KCl, MgCl2 and CaCl2. Physicochemical and microbiological evaluations were carried out to monitor the ripening and the quality of the final product. The partial replacement of NaCl by other salts (MgCl2, CaCl2, KCl) did not interfere in the growth of the starter culture in the Italian salami, neither did it affect the majority of the physicochemical parameters of the Italian salami nor the microbiological quality of the final product.

Sugarcane Industry

The sugarcane industry generates huge amounts of sugarcane bagasse ashes (SCBA). This work investigates the incorporation of a SCBA waste as an alternative raw material into a clay body, replacing natural clay material by up to 20 wt.%. Clay ceramic pieces were produced by uniaxial pressing and fired at temperatures varying from 700 to 1100 ºC. The technological properties of the clay ceramic pieces (linear shrinkage, apparent density, water absorption, and tensile strength) as function of the firing temperature and waste addition are investigated. The phase evolution during firing was followed by X-ray diffraction. The results showed that the SCBA waste could be incorporated into red ceramics (bricks and roofing tiles) in partial replacement for natural clay material. These results confirm the feasibility of valorisation of SCBA waste to produce red ceramic. This use of SCBA can also contribute greatly to reducing the environmental problems of the sugarcane industry, and also save the sources of natural raw materials used in the ceramic industry.

Four commercially produced dahi samples were stored under 0°C, 10 °C and 20 °C temperatures subjected to microbiological examination, pH, titrable acidity and sensory attributes at various temperatures for a period of seven days. The results indicated an increase in microbial activity parameters and titrable acidity with increase in temperature and storage period. pH of dahi samples decreased with an increase in temperature and storage period indicating increase in acidity. The studies for microbiological studies shows increase in TPC along with the increase in days of storage. Similar case was found in Yeast and mould as well as in Coliform count. The TPC at refrigerated storage was observed as (1.69±0.58)106 to (5.0±0.68)106 while as at 20°C temperature it was observed as (1.5±0.35)106 to (4.5±0.12)10. Similarly the Yeast and mould count at refrigerated storage was observed as (1.0±0.92)106 while as at 20 °C temperature it was observed as ( 1.5±0.36)106 .The different samples of dahi were analysed for various sensorial attributes for their acceptance by using 9 point hedonic scale. The scores obtained with respect to colour, flavour, taste and aroma show good results and overall acceptability. Overall acceptability was also found to decrease significantly (p <.05) with increase in days of storage under refrigerated conditions. The results of the storage studies indicated the significant (p < .05) decrease in pH with the days of storage under different temperature conditions.

The Stability

The steadily increasing demand for semi-finished meat products is provided by the constantly expanding product range and improving its quality. In turn, quality stability is an important criterion for increasing sales. The article presents data on the effect of a natural antioxidant-dihydroquercetin on the stability of consumer properties of chopped semi-finished moose meat with the addition of beet fiber when stored at a negative temperature for 216 days. Dihydroquercetin was added in an amount of 0.05% by weight of the raw material. In the course of the work, generally accepted methods of studying organoleptic and microbiological quality indicators were used. The degree of oxidative deterioration of the product was checked by determining the acid, peroxide and thiobarbituric numbers. The conducted studies allowed us to conclude that the use of this food additive allows us to preserve the organoleptic and microbiological properties of the semi-finished product for a longer period by inhibiting the formation of oxidation products. The use of dihydroquercetin contributed to a decrease in the experimental sample of the semi-finished product on day 216 of the peroxide and acid number by 2 times, and the thiobarbituric number by 1.8 times in relation to the control. Thus, by reducing the oxidative damage of the semi-finished product, it is possible to influence its characteristics during storage.
