Antioxidants can act as metal chelators and free radical or oxygen scavengers, which can slow the progression of lipid oxidation. Lipid oxidation may have negative effects on the quality of meat and meat products, causing changes in sensory attributes such as color, texture, odor and flavor, and nutritional quality. Several synthetic antioxidants have been used to successfully prevent lipid oxidation in the meat industry, but consumers are concerned about the health risks related to consumption of some synthetic antioxidants. Therefore, there has been a growing interest in natural antioxidants. Nowadays, compounds obtained from natural sources such as grains, oilseeds, spices, fruit and vegetables have been investigated to decrease the lipid oxidation. In this review, the potential effects of natural antioxidants were evaluated that are widely used in meat and meat products.展开更多

From ancient times, the plants are used to treat various diseases, to produce perfumes and as ingredients to improve the taste in food. This paper presents a bibliographic and experimental study of the antioxidant and microbial properties of basil, thyme and tarragon. International scientific papers on the use of these plants in the food industry, including the meat industry, are targeted. The role of basil, thyme and tarragon in the manufacture of functional and stable products in storage is mentioned. Percentage decrease in <i>Salmonella Abony</i> growth under the influence of basil constituted 84.4%, thyme 61.6% and tarragon 76.8% after 48 hours of action and respectively 97.2%, 90.2% and 95.3% after 72 hours of action. The interdependence between the percentage reduction of S. Abony infestation and the concentration of basil, mushrooms and tarragon was respectively: basil (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.7725 … 0.7916), thyme (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.7733 … 0.7768), tarragon (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.7689 … 0.8137).展开更多

The ANOM provides a ＂confidence interval type of approach＂ that allows it to determine which, if any, of the x groups has a significantly different mean from the overall average of all the group means combined. The aim of this study was to show the application of a statistical technique （ANOM）, mostly used by agriculture, to determine differences between red meat production by period in Turkey. The production quantities of goat meat, mutton, buffalo meat and beef between the years 2010 and 2016 according to the period were taken from Turkish Statistical Institute （TSI）. As a result, the difference between meat productions was found to be significant.展开更多

The GC method used was direct saponification of the samples without derivatizations and the HPLC method was used to extract of the lipid samples. The GC limits of detection and quantification obtained for cholesterol were, respectively, 0.001 and 0.003 mg.g–1. The HPLC values were 0.005 mg.g–1 and 0.016 mg.g–1. The GC recovery rate was 97.10 ± 0.13 and that of HPLC was 93.33 ± 0.22. Comparison of the cholesterol quantity found using the two chromatographic techniques shows that both are capable of quantifying cholesterol in the foods. With regard to costs, analysis time, the cost/benefit relationship was better with gas chromatography than that obtained with high performance liquid chromatography.展开更多

Sample types included raw meat, “suya” (roasted meat), “balangu” (barbequed meat), “kilishi” (spiced sun dried meat) and “dambu” (shredded fried meat). A total of 182 samples were analyzed for E. coli O157. Isolates were characterized using conventional biochemical methods and Microbact 12E test kit. Susceptibilities of the isolates to 18 commonly used antimicrobial agents were determined by the disk diffusion method. The carriage of stx1 and stx2 genes was determined by PCR. Microbact confirmed 4 E. coli isolates. All isolates exhibited multiple drug resistance to the antimicrobial agents tested. An overall prevalence of 2.2% was obtained for E. coli O157. All 4 isolates of E. coli O157 were isolated from raw meat;two of which harboured the stx1 gene.展开更多

The present study highlights the risk of considerable potential economic and health impacts of this major zoonosis. It was carried out at the Bobo-Dioulasso slaughterhouse, in Burkina Faso over 3 years. A retrospective study was conducted based on bovine tuberculosis suspected carcass seizures during primary meat production between January 1st, 2020 and December 31st, 2022. The diagnosis and the criteria for suspecting bovine tuberculosis were addressed by post-mortem inspection. All carcasses were examined for tuberculosis lesions detection. All cattle slaughtered in the abattoir for primary meat production during the study period were included. Economic losses were determined from recorded seizure data and we included all the cattle slaughtered during the study period. Three thousand two hundred ten (3210) bovine carcasses were seized on a total of 180,827 cattle slaughteredwith a prevalence of 19.48%. Economic loss was estimated to be 53,505,000 F CFA, while the average quantity of animal protein lost was 4746 kg, 435 kg, and 13,445 kg for the carcass, livers, and lungs, respectively. The various results show a real health issue linked to exposure to M. bovis for agents and stakeholders in the primary meat production chain, processors and consumers. In addition, the survey conducted over the study period, reveals important material seized and destroyed. This leads to significant loss in rural agriculture and also in the primary meat production industry for the population. The figures are enormous and impact both the nutritional intake linked to animal protein consumption and the livelihood of the beef industry. The Burkinabe administration should invest in biosecurity and biosafety measures to minimize the risks of the disease and also provide compensation for losses recorded among breeders and butchers.展开更多

These have a high salmonella outbreak in the summer. The majority of Salmonella enteritis in young children occurs in the form of scattered cases. At least 25% of summer gastroenteritis in young children is caused by Salmonella. In Western Europe, S. typhimurium accounts for nearly 70% of isolates. The objective of this study was to investigate the Salmonella contaminating meat and dairy products as well as define the percentages of contamination by Salmonella from 2004 to 2006, by the Department of Hygiene of Tunis. For this study, we collected samples in various motherboard solutions, and conducted a pre-nonselective enrichment in selective enrichment in isolation and identification and ultimately biochemical confirmation. One hundred and sixty two samples, 125 samples of meat products including 68 samples of red meat （beef and sheep, beef, offal and Merguez） and 57 samples of poultry （chicken and turkey）, 37 samples of milk products which included 32 samples of cheese and five samples milk, were analysed microbiologically from 2004 to 2006, in the Health Service in Tunis. These analyses include the detection and enumeration of Salmonella. From 2004 to 2006, the rate of infections by the Salmonella, meat and dairy products were： 55.9% for red meat, 71.9% for poultry, 68.8% for cheeses, 40% for milk. The meat of poultry is contaminated with Salmonella that the cheeses, which are more than red meats, which are also more contaminated than milk. This might be due to a lack of hygiene throughout the circuit processing （slaughter, transport, processing, etc.）. The increased risk of contamination of milk products by Salmonella is proportional to the manipulation done on these products. The latter must be handled by pasteurization and sterilization.展开更多

[ Method] Meat hybrid chickens, 7 day-old with similar weight, were randomly divided into four groups. And Chinese medicine feed additive HMS was added to the diet of each group at different proportions. All the chickens were weighed before the test as well as at the end of the 2nd, 3rd, 4^th and 5^th week. The feed consumption was also recorded during the test. Before slaughter, serum samples were collected from the randomly selected chickens for the deter- mination of serum biochemical indexes. Their bursae of Fabdcius and spleens were collected and weighed in order to determine the indexes, of im- mune organs. [ Result] HMS significantly reduced the feed conversion ratio （ P 〈 0.05 ）, very significantly reduced the feed consumptioh （ P 〈 0.01 ）, very significantly improve the content of serum high-density lipoprotein （ P 〈 0.01 ）, significantly increased the activity of serum alkaline phos- phatase （ P 〈 0.05）, very significantly reduced the content of serum urea nitrogen and uric acid （ P 〈 0.01 ）, and significantly reduced the level of serum cholesterol （ P 〈0.05）. There were no significant difference between the test groups and the control group （ P 〉 0.05） in the increase of im- mune organ indexes, but the index of immune organs has increasing trend. [ Conclusion] HMS reduces feed consumption and feed conversion rati- o, improves the feed utilization, and has a role in promoting production. The possible mechanism may be HMS improving the activity of serum alka- line phosphatase and the level of serum high-density lipoprotein, as well as reducing the content of serum cholesterol, urea nitrogen and uric acid in meat hybrid chickens.展开更多

[Method] Two hundred 21-day-old Ross broilers were assigned to five groups. The broilers in group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ were fed positive control diet and negative control diet, respectively, which were slightly different. The broilers in group Ⅲ, Ⅳ and V were fed the negative control diet respectively supplemented with different commercial NSP enzyme products. The broilers were slaughtered at 56 days old, and their meat yield was determined. [ Result] The percentage of carcass yield and percentage of abdominal fat were significantly higher in the group Ⅲ than in the group Ⅱ （P 〈 0.05）. The percentage of small intestine weight in slaughter weight was lower in the group Ⅱ than in other groups. [ Conclusion] Diets supplemented broad-rang and highly active NSP enzyme products can promote absorption of routine feed ingredients, increase meat yield, and improve meat performance.展开更多
