Occurrence of Selected Pathogenic Microorganisms in Raw and Processed Eggs of Snails of The Genus.

Introduction: This study investigated the eggs of Polish-bred edible snails of the genus as a food and aimed to determine the presence of microorganisms in them of the and genera and ascertain the number of coagulase-positive staphylococci.

Material And Methods: Raw material, semi-finished products, and the final product were collected during the production cycle. Testing for the presence of spp.

Snail Eggs as a Raw Material for the Production of a Caviar Substitute.

Introduction: Snail eggs can be the raw material for the production of a caviar substitute. The substitute varies from the original in caloric value and nutrient content which determine the nutritional value of every foodstuff. The present study aimed to determine and compare the nutritional value and protein quality of eggs from two subspecies of edible snail.

Fatty Acid Profile in Edible Eggs of Snails from the Genus.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the content of fatty acids in eggs harvested from two edible subspecies of Polish-bred common garden snail from the genus, as well as this content in the retail-ready product obtained from these eggs.

Material And Methods: Material for the study consisted of eggs from two subspecies of edible snails: the small (), and large () common garden snails. The eggs studied were in two forms, the first of which had undergone initial processing to the half-product stage and the second of which was the final product available on the Polish market under the name "Snail Eggs".

Comparative Proteomic Analysis of Serum from Pigs Experimentally Infected with , and .

Although the available proteomic studies have made it possible to identify and characterize stage-specific proteins reacting with infected host-specific antibodies, the vast majority of these studies do not provide any information about changes in the global proteomic serum profile of -infested individuals. In view of the above, the present study aimed to examine the protein expression profile of serum obtained at 13 and 60 days postinfection (d.p.

Fatty Acid Profile in Fat Obtained from Edible Part of Land Snails Harvested in Poland.

Introduction: The objective was to determine the content of fatty acids in edible snail fat by snail species, collection site, and processing stage.

Material And Methods: The research material comprised 180 edible fat samples from the three genera of edible snails collected in Poland: free-living (HP) and two cultivated subspecies: (CAM) and (CAA). All snails came from the Greater Poland and Lower Silesian Provinces: HP from their natural habitat and CAM and CAA from heliciculture farms.

Selenium, Copper, and Zinc Concentrations in the Raw and Processed Meat of Edible Land Snails Harvested in Poland.

Introduction: The objective of the present research was to carry out a comparative assessment of copper, zinc, and selenium concentrations in the meat of edible land snails collected in Poland (, and ), as well as to determine the effect of preliminary processing of Roman snails () on the content of the aforementioned elements.

Material And Methods: In the first stage, determinations were made on unprocessed snail meat. In the second stage, the study focused on Roman snails and consisted in an additional evaluation of frozen meat after full processing.

Occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites in slaughter rabbits.

The aim of the study was to determine the occurrence of gastrointestinal parasites in slaughter rabbits managed in small scale farms and under industrial farming system. The research material included intestines and livers of rabbits slaughtered between years 2007 and 2011. The rabbit carcasses submitted to parasitological examination had passed the sanitary veterinary inspection as fit for human consumption.
