Bovine Liver Supplement Labeling Practices And Compliance With U.S. Regulations, Anthony J. Silva, Olive J. Dahm, Rosalee S. Hellberg Nov 2020

Bovine Liver Supplement Labeling Practices And Compliance With U.S. Regulations, Anthony J. Silva, Olive J. Dahm, Rosalee S. Hellberg

Food Science Faculty Articles and Research

Bovine liver supplements are sought after by consumers due to their nutrient-dense profile and high protein content. However, there is a lack of information regarding bovine liver supplement labeling practices. The objective of this study was to assess labeling practices and compliance with U.S. regulatory standards among commercially sold bovine liver supplements. The product labels for 49 bovine liver supplements were examined for required information, including a statement of identity; net quantity of contents; “Supplement Facts” label; ingredient statement; and name and place of business of manufacturer, packer, or distributor with domestic address or telephone number. Any claims made on …


Life Cycle Assessment Of The Us Beef Processing Through Integrated Hybrid Approach, Shaobin Li, Yuwei Qin, Jeyamkondan Subbiah, Bruce Dvorak Aug 2020

Life Cycle Assessment Of The Us Beef Processing Through Integrated Hybrid Approach, Shaobin Li, Yuwei Qin, Jeyamkondan Subbiah, Bruce Dvorak

Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering: Faculty Publications

Hybrid life cycle assessment (LCA) incorporating process-based and economic input-output (EIO)–based inventory data has been applied in various industries (e.g., wind energy, biofuel). Few hybrid LCA studies have been found in the food industry. This work analyzes the life cycle environmental impacts of the US beef processing industry using process-based and integrated hybrid LCA. The process-based inventory includes all resource inputs and waste outputs associated with a beef processing plant. The EIO-based inventory includes key activities missing in the process-based inventory, such as technical and management service, wood and paper, and industrial equipment. Ten environmental impact categories from TRACI v2.1 …


Prediction Of Warner-Bratzler Shear Force, Intramuscular Fat, Drip-Loss And Cook-Loss In Beef Via Raman Spectroscopy And Chemometrics, Raquel Cama-Moncunill, Jamie Cafferky, Caroline Augier, Torres Sweeney, Paul Allen, Alessandro Ferragina, Carl Sullivan, Andrew Cromie, Ruth Hamill Jan 2020

Prediction Of Warner-Bratzler Shear Force, Intramuscular Fat, Drip-Loss And Cook-Loss In Beef Via Raman Spectroscopy And Chemometrics, Raquel Cama-Moncunill, Jamie Cafferky, Caroline Augier, Torres Sweeney, Paul Allen, Alessandro Ferragina, Carl Sullivan, Andrew Cromie, Ruth Hamill

Rapid prediction of beef quality remains a challenge for meat processors. This study evaluated the potential of Raman spectroscopy followed by chemometrics for prediction of Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF), intramuscular fat (IMF), ultimate pH, drip-loss and cook-loss. PLS regression models were developed based on spectra recorded on frozen-thawed day 2 longissimus thoracis et lumborum muscle and validated using test sets randomly selected 3 times. With the exception of ultimate pH, models presented notable performance in calibration (R2 ranging from 0.5 to 0.9; low RMSEC) and, despite variability in the results, promising predictive ability: WBSF (RMSEP ranging from 4.6 to 9 …


The Effect Of Lauric Arginate On The Thermal Inactivation Of Starved Listeria Monocytogenes In Sous-Vide Cooked Ground Beef, Vijay K. Juneja, Marangeli Osoria, Uma Tiwari, Xinran Xu, Chase E. Golden, Sudarsan Mukhopadhyay, Abhinav Mishra Jan 2020

The Effect Of Lauric Arginate On The Thermal Inactivation Of Starved Listeria Monocytogenes In Sous-Vide Cooked Ground Beef, Vijay K. Juneja, Marangeli Osoria, Uma Tiwari, Xinran Xu, Chase E. Golden, Sudarsan Mukhopadhyay, Abhinav Mishra

The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of lauric arginate (LAE, 1000 ppm – 3000 ppm) as an assisting tool to reduce starved Listeria monocytogenes population in ground beef following sous-vide processing at different temperatures (55–62.5 °C). Ground beef mixed with LAE was vacuum sealed and a laboratory water bath was used for sous-vide cooking. Loglinear and Weibull models were fit to the survival microbial population and the D and Z-values were determined at 55–62.5 °C. Calculated D-values ranged from 33.62 to 3.22 min at temperature 55–62.5 °C. LAE at higher concentration is an effective antimicrobial to …
