Using aqueous urea solution extracts of heated ostrich muscle as antigen for the production of precipitating rabbit antiostrich sera, it was possible to specifically identify raw, heated (70-95 degrees C) and air dried-salted ostrich meat by means of gel immunodiffusion tests. The sera did not react with chicken, turkey or horse meat or with beef in any form. The soluble proteins extracted from ostrich meat heated to temperatures of 70 degrees C for 30 minutes appear to constitute at least two closely related antigenic determinants of which only one is thermostable at temperatures above 70 degrees C).

Objective: A comprehensive research was conducted to investigate the incidence of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) in ostrich farms in Egypt.

Methods: The study involved seven farms with bird ages ranging from 1 to 12 weeks and capacities of 2,000 to 5,000 birds per farm. 175 tissue specimens were collected from different organs (liver, spleen, heart, lung, kidney, intestine, and meat).

Article Synopsis
  • Ostrich meat is a nutritious alternative to traditional meats like poultry and beef, and adding plant species like hot peppers and acerola can enhance sausage quality and consumer acceptance.
  • Researchers conducted thorough microbiological and chemical analyses to examine aspects such as biogenic amines, heavy metals, and antioxidants in these sausages.
  • The study found that the addition of plant additives improved health benefits by reducing fat oxidation and enhancing taste and smell, while lactic acid bacteria present posed a potential risk due to biogenic amines.

Objective: The present work aimed to determine the impact of various cooking methods on sensory attributes, microbial safety, and physicochemical characteristics of ostrich meat to specify the best cooking method that guarantees the microbial safety of the meat as well as maintains nutritional values and is highly attractive to consumers.

Materials And Methods: One hundred fresh leg muscles of ostriches were divided into five groups. Different cooking techniques were used for each group, as follows: roasting, boiling, grilling, frying, and microwaving.
