Pork protein addition effect on structural and qualitative parameters of frankfurter-type sausage.

Background: Several raw materials and additives are used in meat production. In terms of origin, proteins which are the closest related to meat are derived from slaughtered carcasses. The aim of the work was to assess the effect of their addition on the microstructure, texture and colour of frankfurter-type meat products.

The changes of proteins fractions shares in milk and fermented milk drinks.

Background: The aim of this research was to observe the changes which take place in the electrophoretic picture of milk proteins after pasteurisation and inoculation with different starter cultures (both traditional and probiotic). After incubation, the yoghurt, kefir, acidified milk, fermented Bifidobacterium bifidum drink and Lactobacillus acidophillus drink were chilled for 14 days to observe the changes which occurred.

Methods: The research materials were raw and pasteurised milk, as well as fermented milk- based drinks.
