Colour in CIELAB space was assessed in 31 yearling entire male cattle from their reflectance spectra (400-700 nm) at six different times (0 min, 15 min, 5 h, 48 h, 6 days and 9 days). Cluster analysis applied to all the colour co-ordinates divided the samples into two groups according to their ultimate pH (pHu): pH<6.1 and pH⩾6.1. pH ranged between 5.17 and 7.10. Colour development in pH⩾6.1 group was less visually appreciable than in pH<6.1 group. This difference was also observed in the reflectance spectra. The application of discriminant analysis to these groups established that b* and h* CIELAB co-ordinates are the most discriminant variables. Meat pigment evolution was assessed by the spectrophotometric indexes. R (∞)(632)- R (∞)(614); K S (614)- K S (632) and the K S (630)- K S (580) indexes were found to be the most significant to represent the difference between the two groups.

The objective of this study was to investigate the water-holding capacity (WHC) and quality changes of beef during heating at specific temperatures (including 40 °C, 60 °C, 80 °C, and 100 °C), as well as the degradation of proteins and the distribution of water within the muscle at different heating temperatures. The experiment utilized the sirloin section from eight crossbred cattle of and breeds, with four sampling sessions, two cattle per session. Each cattle were divided into 30 beef sirloin samples, each weighing 150 ± 10 g, and each session was completed within 3 days with the following tests.

Essential oils application as natural preservatives is challenging owning to low solubility and stability to harsh conditions, while incorporation of essential oils into nanoemulsion systems can effectively improve these issues. Therefore, the nanoemulsion of () and cardamom essential oils were fabricated through self-emulsification technique and evaluated their size, ζ-potential, antioxidative and antibacterial activities. The effect of double nanomulsion on the textural and sensorial properties of Mortadella sausage was also examined under chilling temperature (4 °C).

Beef jerky is a traditional meat product. It is uses beef as the main raw material, and is processed through multiple procedures such as curing, maturing, drying, sterilization, and packaging. However, changes in raw materials, curing solution, the choice of fermenter, and fermentation conditions affect the quality and flavor of beef jerky.

Sustainable management of textile industrial wastewater is one of the severe challenges in the current regime. It has been reported that each year huge amount of textile industry discharge especially the dye released into the environment without pre-treatment that adversely affect the human health and plant productivity. In the present study, different bacterial isolates had been isolated from the industrial effluents and investigated for their bioremediation potential against the malachite green (MG) dye, a major pollutant of textile industries.
