Use of Organic Acids to Control and Infection in Swine Jowl Fat.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the mortality of and inoculated in fresh swine jowls treated with different concentrations of organic acids (lactic, acetic, citric, and ascorbic) for 1, 5, and 10 min. Lactic and acetic acids showed minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 1.25 and 0.

Growth Effects as a Function of pH and Temperature of serovar Choleraesuis in In Vitro Tests and Chicken Meat: Prediction and Modeling.

The present study aimed to predict and model the growth of serovar Choleraesuis as a function of pH and temperature in in vitro tests and raw chicken meat. To describe the growth, the data were adjusted by the Modified Gompertz primary model. After comparison, they presented R values > 0.

Tea tree essential oil and its impact on blue mold, volatile compounds, and postharvest quality of 'Fuji' apples: A study of laboratory-extracted and commercial essential oils.

This study evaluated the effects of tea tree essential oil (TTO) on blue mold severity, volatile compound profiles, and postharvest quality of 'Fuji' apples during cold storage. Two experiments were conducted using laboratory-extracted TTO from Brazil and commercial TTO from Australia, applied by vaporization at various concentrations. Both types of TTO affected major volatile compounds, including terpinen-4-ol, γ-terpinene, and α-terpinene.

Investigating antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of liquid smoke and physical-chemical stability of bacon subjected to liquid smoke and conventional smoking.

Liquid smoke, an alternative to traditional wood burning smoking, enhances product value by imparting desirable characteristics such as aroma, flavor, and color. Furthermore, it contains components with inherent antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. This study compares the effects of liquid smoke and conventional smoking methods in bacon processing.

Tyrosinase-based nanobiosensor for environmental monitoring of hormones in river water.

This study explores the application of a tyrosinase cantilever nanobiosensor for detecting 17β-estradiol and estrone in typical water systems. The physical-chemical parameters of water were evaluated within the Tigre River micro-basin in Erechim, RS, to determine water potability for urban populations. Water clarity, conductivity, and pH levels were essential markers, adhering to recognized standards for water quality and human consumption.
