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.

The effect of raw material characteristics (longissimus dorsi and biceps femoris) on dry-cured loin and ham quality from three different Iberian · Duroc genotypes was studied: GEN1: ♂ Iberian · ♀ Duroc1, GEN2: ♂ Duroc1 · ♀ Iberian; GEN3: ♂ Duroc2 · ♀ Iberian. GEN1 and GEN2 are reciprocal crosses, while the difference between GEN2 and GEN3 is the Duroc sire line. The line Duroc1 (DU1) was selected for the manufacture of dry-cured meat products, whereas the line Duroc2 (DU2) was selected for meat production with low carcass fat. Raw material and dry-cured meat products did not differ between reciprocal crosses (GEN1 vs. GEN2). However, the genotype of the Duroc sire line affected the quality of meat and dry-cured meat products. GEN1 and GEN2 had higher adipogenic nature and higher postmortem pH than GEN3, and as a result, these dry-cured meat products had better instrumental and sensory quality than those from GEN3. By contrast, meat from GEN3 had lower pH, fat content, and oxidative stability which decreased the quality of dry-cured meat products. Therefore, there was a close connection between raw material and dry-cured meat products quality as it was affected by characteristics related to the genotype such as the adipogenic character and meat quality traits associated with pH.

In meat processing, changes in the myofibrillar protein (MP) structure can affect the quality of meat products. High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) has been widely utilized to change the conformational structure (secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure) of MP so as to improve the quality of meat products. However, a systematic summary of the relationship between the conformational structure (secondary and tertiary structure) changes in MP, gel properties and product quality under HHP is lacking. Hence, this review provides a comprehensive summary of the changes in the conformational structure and gel properties of MP under HHP and discusses the mechanism based on previous studies and recent progress. The relationship between the spatial structure of MP and meat texture under HHP is also explored. Finally, we discuss considerations regarding ways to make HHP an effective strategy in future meat manufacturing.

AbstractThe effects of the mixture of pig skin (PS) and coconut powder (CP) on the gelling and rheological properties of composite gel prepared with squid myofibrillar protein (MP) and lard were studied. The addition of PS and CP gel had significantly improved the water-holding capacity (WHC) and gelling properties of MP-Lard composite gel. Besides, composite gels with an adequate amount of PS and CP gel had a better texture and higher whiteness. The SDS-PAGE results showed that the presence of PS and CP gel did not affect the coagulated proteins in composite gels. The three-dimensional network structures of composite gels containing PS and CP gel were more compact and homogeneous. In general, the mixture of PS and CP could enhance the gel quality of MP-Lard composite gel and it could be used as a fat substitute in surimi products.

Enterococcus faecium SE920, Debaryomyces hansenii FHSCC 253H, Penicillium chrysogenum CECT 20922, producer of the antifungal protein PgAFP, and this protein itself have previously been proposed to control toxigenic molds in dry-cured meat products. However, their effects on the usual microbial population, and the sensory characteristics of these foods, have not yet been evaluated. The aim of this study was to assess the viability of the inoculation of these protective cultures, and their impact on the quality of dry-cured fermented sausages. These microorganisms were co-inoculated with a native desirable population (Penicillium nalgiovense, P. chrysogenum, D. hansenii, and Staphylococcus vitulinus) in a dry-cured fermented sausage (salchichón)-based medium in the presence and absence of PgAFP. Macroscopically, the biocontrol candidates did not produce relevant changes in the growth of the native population, enabling their coexistence. However, PgAFP causes the alteration of the hyphae structure in desirable molds. Thus, PgAFP was discarded for use on the surface of raw dry-cured fermented sausages (salchichón) in the pilot plant. The used biocontrol agents did not negatively affect the physico-chemical parameters of the dry-cured fermented sausages (salchichón) after ripening, which showed the typical volatile profile and odor. Thus, the application of E. faecium SE920, D. hansenii FHSCC 253H, and P. chrysogenum CECT 20922 as protective cultures against toxigenic molds during the ripening of dry-cured fermented sausages does not modify their typical sensorial quality.

The ordinary Portland cement was used to prepare foamed cement by the chemical foaming method. In this paper, the effect of superplasticizer on the water absorption and softening coefficient of foamed cement has been studied. The results show that the superplasticizer could improve foam structure, reduce the water absorption, and enhance the compressive strength and softening coefficient. The water resistance could be improved. When the dosage of superplasticizer was 0.3% (the quality of cement), compared with blank sample, the water absorption reduced 27.9%. When the softening coefficient was 0.68, softening coefficient increased 19.2%. The action mechanism of superplasticizer has been explored.

123456The study was conducted to investigate the effect of curing on the quality of beef and buffen and also to find out the relationship between the quality of beef and buffen with their storage time. Six treatments of which three from beef were taken as dry salt cured beef (A), dry sugar cured beef (A), brine cured beef (A) and three from buffen as dry salt cured buffen (A), dry sugar cured buffen (A) and brine cured buffen (A). These samples were cured at room temperature for 10 days and then dried. The dried sample was stored for 120 days and analyzed on first day, 30th day, 60th day and 120th day. The quality of cured meat samples were studied by chemical analysis. All the samples were acceptable up to the end of the storage time. Dry matter, ash, crude protein and ether extract of all the samples decreased gradually with elapse of storage time. The initial (0 day) dry matter, ash, crude protein and ether extract content of the samples were ranged from 98.00-99.10%, 13.07-15.33%, 75.01-81.07% and 3.70-5.50%, respectively and at the end of 120 days of storage the dry matter, ash, crude protein and ether extract content of the samples ranged from 89.50-90.50%, 12.80-14.802%, 73.68-74.97% and 3.35-4.25%, respectively. Statistical analysis indicated that with the elapse of storage time quality parameters of meat samples decreased significantly (P<0.01). Quality parameters also varied among the samples. A significant difference exists in species when considering the value of fat. The relationship between the quality of beef and buffen shows that dry matter and crude protein are highly significant (P<0.01), ether extract is significant (P<0.05) and ash was statistically not significant with their storage times. Although the values are non significant, the loss of protein was lower in brine cured meat than other sample. It may be concluded that, brine curing could be a useful technique for beef and buffen preservation. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjas.v38i1-2.9917 BJAS 2009; 38(1-2): 92-101
