No significant differences were observed in the microbiological quality and the color of the flours for 150 days. The technological and functional potential of the flours were variously improved with the addition of Bacillus coagulans as a probiotic and beta-glucan as a prebiotic.

The objective of the research was to control the oxidative stability of lamb burgers by applying gelatin-starch active film containing java plum (Syzygium cumini) and oregano (Origanum vulgare). The films were prepared from four formulations: without extract addition (FC), with the addition of java plum extract (FJ), with the addition of oregano extract (FO) and with the addition of java plum and oregano extract (FJO). Films were characterized in terms of the physical, barrier, mechanical and antioxidant properties.
