Prediction of subcutaneous fatty acid composition from ham of CLA fed boars and gilts using a NIRS fiber optic probe

The aim of this work was the use of NIR technology by direct application of a fiber optic probe on back fat to analyze the fatty acid composition of CLA fed boars and gilts. 265 animals were fed 3 different diets and the fatty acid profile of back fat from Gluteus medius was analyzed using gas chromatography and FT-NIR. Spectra were acquired using a Bruker Optics Matrix-F duplex spectrometer equipped with a fiber optic probe (IN-268-2). Oleic and stearic fatty acids were predicted accurately; myristic, vaccenic and linoleic fatty acids were predicted with lower accuracy, while palmitic and α-linolenic fatty acids were poorly predicted. The relative percentage of fatty acids and NIR spectra showed differences in fatty acid composition of back fat from pigs fed CLA which increased the relative percentage of SFA and PUFA while MUFA decreased. Results suggest that a NIR fiber optic probe can be used to predict total saturated and unsaturated fatty acid composition, as well as the percentage of stearic and oleic. NIR showed potential as a rapid and easily implemented method to discriminate carcasses from animals fed different diets.

Use of antimicrobial biodegradable packaging to control Listeria monocytogenes during storage of cooked ham

The antimicrobial effect against L. monocytogenes of biodegradable films (alginate, zein and polyvinyl alcohol) containing enterocins was investigated. Survival of the pathogen was studied by means of challenge tests performed at 6 °C during 8 and 29 days, for air-packed and vacuum-packed sliced cooked ham, respectively. Air packaging was tested with two concentrations of enterocins (200 and 2000 AU/cm2). Control air-packed cooked ham showed an increase of L. monocytogenes from 104 to 107 CFU/g after 8 days. By contrast, packaging with antimicrobial films effectively slowed down the pathogen's growth, leading to final counts lower than in control lots. Air-packaging with alginate films containing 2000 AU/cm2 of enterocins effectively controlled L. monocytogenes for 8 days. An increase of only 1 log unit was observed in zein and polyvinyl alcohol lots at the same enterocin concentration. Vacuum packaging with films containing enterocins (2000 AU/cm2) also delayed the growth of the pathogen. No increase from inoculated levels was observed during 15 days in antimicrobial alginate films. After 29 days of storage, the lowest counts were obtained in samples packed with zein and alginate films containing enterocins, as well as with zein control films. The most effective treatment for controlling L. monocytogenes during 6 °C storage was vacuum-packaging of sliced cooked ham with alginate films containing 2000 AU/cm2 of enterocins. From the results obtained it can concluded that antimicrobial packaging can improve the safety of sliced cooked ham by delaying and reducing the growth of L. monocytogenes.

High-pressure processing and antimicrobial biodegradable packaging to control Listeria monocytogenes during storage of cooked ham

The efficiency of combining high-pressure processing (HPP) and active packaging technologies to control Listeria monocytogenes growth during the shelf life of artificially inoculated cooked ham was assessed. Three lots of cooked ham were prepared: control, packaging with alginate films, and packaging with antimicrobial alginate films containing enterocins. After packaging, half of the samples were pressurized. Sliced cooked ham stored at 6 °C experienced a quick growth of L. monocytogenes. Both antimicrobial packaging and pressurization delayed the growth of the pathogen. However, at 6 °C the combination of antimicrobial packaging and HPP was necessary to achieve a reduction of inoculated levels without recovery during 60 days of storage. Further storage at 6 °C of pressurized antimicrobial packed cooked ham resulted in L. monocytogenes levels below the detection limit (day 90). On the other hand, storage at 1 °C controlled the growth of the pathogen until day 39 in non-pressurized ham, while antimicrobial packaging and storage at 1 °C exerted a bacteriostatic effect for 60 days. All HPP lots stored at 1 °C led to counts <100 CFU/g at day 60. Similar results were observed when combining both technologies. After a cold chain break no growth of L. monocytogenes was observed in pressurized ham packed with antimicrobial films, showing the efficiency of combining both technologies.

Combined effect of natural antimicrobials and high pressure processing to prevent Listeria monocytogenes growth after a cold chain break during storage of cooked ham

The effect of high pressure processing (400 MPa for 10 min) and natural antimicrobials 2 (enterocins and lactate-diacetate) on the behaviour of L. monocytogenes in sliced cooked ham 3 during refrigerated storage (1ºC and 6ºC) was assessed. The efficiency of the treatments after a 4 cold chain break was evaluated. Lactate-diacetate exerted a bacteriostatic effect against L. 5 monocytogenes during the whole storage period (3 months) at 1ºC and 6ºC, even after 6 temperature abuse. The combination of low storage temperature (1ºC), high pressure 7 processing (HPP) and addition of lactate-diacetate reduced the levels of L. monocytogenes 8 during storage by 2.7 log CFU/g. The most effective treatment was the combination of HPP, 9 enterocins and refrigeration at 1ºC, which reduced the population of the pathogen to final counts 10 of 4 MPN/g after 3 months of storage, even after the cold chain break.

Effects of micronized sodium chloride on the sensory profile and consumer acceptance of turkey ham with reduced sodium content

The impact of sodium chloride reduction and its substitution for micronized salt on consumer acceptance of turkey ham was investigated. Five formulations - F1 (control - 2.0% NaCl), F2 (1.7% NaCl), F3 (1.4% NaCl), F4 (1.7% micronized NaCl), and F5 (1.4% micronized NaCl) - were evaluated with respect to sodium chloride content and by consumers using a nine-point hedonic scale for overall acceptability and CATA (check-all-that-apply) using 24 sensory descriptors. Trained panelists characterized the products using the flash profiling technique. Reductions in the salt content by up to 30% did not affect the overall acceptability of the samples by the consumers. However, the consumers characterized the formulations with lower salt content as "less salty and less seasoned" in comparison to the contents in the control. Products containing 1.7% NaCl were considered very similar to the control. The results obtained indicate that it is possible to reduce NaCl content by 30% without affecting consumer acceptance of the product. The use of micronized salt did not affect the sensory characteristics when compared with those of formulations containing the same level of sodium chloride indicating that micronized salt does not influence perception of salt.

Assessing the use of frozen pork meat in the manufacture of cooked ham

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of slow (–18 °C) and fast freezing (liquid nitrogen) of pork meat, and the use of exudate released upon thawing, on the physicochemical, color, rheological, microbiological, histological, and sensory characteristics of cooked ham. The meat samples were frozen at –18 °C and thawed after 22 weeks for the production of cooked ham. No significant difference was observed regarding physicochemical, color and microbiological parameters or in sensory acceptance. The hardness and chewiness parameters showed significant differences when compared to the control sample (ham made from chilled meat). Light microscopy of cooked ham samples showed that changes in the tissues were caused by freezing and thawing the meat. The effect of exudate was significant on the sodium content and compression force parameters, but this difference was not perceived in the sensory analysis, confirming that frozen pork meat can be used to produce cooked ham without loss of quality.

Germinação de sementes de Operculina macrocarpa (L.) Farwel e Operculina alata (Ham.) Urban

Várias espécies vegetais nativas produzem sementes que, mesmo vivas, apresentam dificuldades para germinar. Assim, foram conduzidos dois experimentos com o objetivo de identificar métodos para a superação da dormência de sementes de Operculina macrocarpa e para a germinação de sementes de O. macrocarpa e Operculina alata. No primeiro, sementes de O. macrocarpa foram submetidas a oito tratamentos visando a superação de dormência: frio seco, calor úmido, imersão em água oxigenada, água quente e em ácido sulfúrico, frio úmido, escarificação mecânica, embebição em nitrato de potássio, além da testemunha, determinando-se os percentuais de germinação, de sementes duras e de mortas. No segundo ensaio, sementes de O. macrocarpa e O. alata, após escarificadas, foram semeadas em substratos de areia e de papel e colocadas para germinar sob cinco combinações de luz e temperatura: luz contínua a 25ºC constante; luz contínua com temperaturas alternadas (20ºC/16h-35ºC/8h); escuro contínuo a 25ºC constante; escuro contínuo com temperaturas alternadas (20ºC/16h-35ºC/8h) e alternância de luz e temperaturas (luz/35ºC/8h-escuro/20ºC/16h). Determinaram-se o percentual e o índice de velocidade de germinação. Concluiu-se que Operculina macrocarpa apresenta sementes dormentes, destacando-se a escarificação mecânica como o método mais eficiente para a sua superação; o substrato papel, associado à temperatura de 20-35ºC e em ausência de luz, é o mais indicado para a germinação de sementes de Operculina macrocarpa e Operculina alata.
