Physicochemical Properties of Chicken Breast and Thigh as Affected by Sous-Vide Cooking Conditions.

Sous-vide is a cooking method used to improve the tenderness and juiciness of chicken breast. However, the comparative changes in meat quality attributes of sous-vide cooked chicken breast and thigh muscles are not fully understood. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of sous-vide cooking conditions, based on collagen denaturation temperature of intramuscular connective tissue, on the physicochemical properties of chicken breasts and thighs.

Effects of Gelatin Hydrolysates Addition on Technological Properties and Lipid Oxidation of Cooked Sausage.

This study investigated the impacts of gelatin hydrolysate addition on the technological properties and lipid oxidation stability of cooked sausage. Gelatin hydrolysate was prepared from pork and duck skin gelatin, through stepwise hydrolysis using collagenase and pepsin. The cooked sausages were formulated without gelatin (control) or with 1% pork skin gelatin, 1% duck skin gelatin, 1% pork skin gelatin hydrolysate, and 1% duck skin gelatin hydrolysate.

Evaluation of NaCl and KCl Salting Effects on Technological Properties of Pre- and Post-Rigor Chicken Breasts at Various Ionic Strengths.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of NaCl and KCl salting on technological properties of pre- and post-rigor chicken breasts at various ionic strengths. The following factorial arrangement was used: 2 salt types (NaCl and KCl) × 2 rigor statuses (pre- and post-rigor) × 4 ionic strengths (0.086, 0.

Interaction of Porcine Myofibrillar Proteins and Various Gelatins: Impacts on Gel Properties.

The objectives of this study were to determine the interaction between porcine myofibrillar proteins and various gelatins (bovine hide, porcine skin, fish skin, and duck skin gelatins) and their impacts on gel properties of porcine myofibrillar proteins. Porcine myofibrillar protein was isolated from pork loin muscle (. ).
