Published: April 1982

Pork roasts and chops containing Trichinella spiralis larvae were cooked in six household-type microwave ovens representing five brands. Cooking procedures were generally those recommended by the oven manufacturers or the National Pork Producers Council. Infective trichinae remained after cooking in 9 of 51 products. Positive products included: 5 of 28 roasts cooked following complete recommendations, including standing time; 2 of 8 roasts cooked with recommended time and power, but without standing time; and 1 of 12 roasts using modified procedures. Viable trichinae also were present in one of three groups of pork chops.

Foodborne diseases represent a significant public health issue, regarding both collective health and the economy, with implications for healthcare costs and agribusiness. This paper shows the description and results of the investigation of a subsp foodborne outbreak that occurred in the Marche Region (Italy) in 2022, which was linked to the consumption of a roasted pork product (). As part of the outbreak investigations discussed in this article, molecular analysis to evaluate the genomic correlation between clinical, food, and environmental origin strains was carried out.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explored how two types of firewood (beech and olive) affect the flavor profile of grilled meats (lamb, pork, and veal) using sensory evaluations and analytical methods.
  • The results indicated that olive wood enhanced roasted flavors in lamb and veal, while beech wood emphasized vegetable/herbaceous notes in veal, but overall meat preference remained unchanged among samples.
  • The research identified 36 volatile compounds in the meat, revealing that the veal samples had notably different volatile profiles, demonstrating the potential of firewood to influence the sensory experience of grilled meats.

Article Synopsis
  • - Lipids play a crucial role in creating odorants in air-fried pork, and the study explored how heat affects their formation while identifying key aroma compounds.
  • - A total of 29 aroma compounds were identified, with pyrazines significantly contributing to the meat's roasty aroma, and a comprehensive lipid analysis found 1184 different lipids, primarily phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), and triglycerides (TG).
  • - The research identified seven potential biomarkers for differentiating pork roasted for different times, showing that lower specific heat capacity and water activity enhance heat transfer, which helps develop and retain these desirable aromas.

2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazole [4, 5-] pyridine (PhIP) is a prevalent heterocyclic amine (HAA) found in heated processed meat. This study investigated the inhibitory impact of eight different types of polyphenols containing -dihydroxyl structure on PhIP formation through a chemical model system. The structure-activity relationship and potential sites of action of polyphenols containing -dihydroxyl structure were also analyzed.
