In this study, we investigated the effect of electron beam irradiation on the physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory attributes of dry fermented sausage during 8 weeks of refrigerated storage at 4°C. The five doses of e-beam irradiation applied were: 0 kGy (control) and 1, 2, 3, and 4 kGy. All the experimental treatments led to a significant decrease in pH values during the storage period of 60 days (<0.

The active components of the target plants were extracted using four different solvents (methanol, ethanol, chloroform, and water). leaf exhibited a higher total phenolic content (chloroform and water extracts), total flavonoid content (all solvent extracts), DPPH radical scavenging activity (methanol, ethanol, and water extracts), ABTS radical scavenging activity (water extract), and FRAP radical scavenging activity (water extract) (in all solvent extracts).

Treatments were vacuum-packed (control), 25% CO/75% N (MAP1), 50% CO/50% N (MAP2), 70% CO/30% N (MAP3), and 100% CO (MAP4). All MAP samples regardless of their CO composition significantly (p<0.

Five treatments were prepared: Control (commercial starter culture, C), Korean Collection for Type Cultures (KCTC)-3802 (S1), KCTC-3598 (S2), KCTC-5053 (S3), and KCTC-3603 (S4). The different strains of did not show substantial differences (>0.

The present study investigated the effect of an ethanolic extract of leaves (MLE) on the storage consistency of vacuum-packed pork patty during refrigeration storage (4°C). Four treatments prepared were: control (without any preservative) and patties blended with 0.
