Evaluation Of Nitrite Concentration In Edible Bird’S Nest (White, Yellow, Orange, And Red Blood), Siti Gusti Ningrum, Bagus Uda Palgunad, Rochiman Sasmita

Makara Journal of Science

The color of edible bird’s nest is associated with its nitrite concentration, but this relationship remains inconclusive. This investigation aimed to evaluate the nitrite content in edible bird’s nest of four different colors: white, yellow, orange, and red blood. Fifty-eight edible bird’s nest samples were obtained from five swiftlet farmhouses in Borneo Island, Indonesia and analyzed for nitrite content using Genesys 30 visible spectrophotometer. Results showed that the dark-colored edible bird’s nests (yellow, orange, and red blood) had higher nitrite concentrations of 304, 317, and 309 ppm, respectively, compared with the white-colored one (15 ppm). Therefore, the color of edible …


Investigating The Effectiveness Of Malic Acid, Nisin, And Grape Seed Extract Incorporated Into Whey-Protein Coatings To Inhibit The Growth Of Listeria Monocytogenes On Ready-To-Eat Poultry, Amanda Bettasso, Navam Hettiarachychy, Vidya Chitturi, Michael Johnson Jan 2008

Investigating The Effectiveness Of Malic Acid, Nisin, And Grape Seed Extract Incorporated Into Whey-Protein Coatings To Inhibit The Growth Of Listeria Monocytogenes On Ready-To-Eat Poultry, Amanda Bettasso, Navam Hettiarachychy, Vidya Chitturi, Michael Johnson

Discovery, The Student Journal of Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences

The ability to control growth of Listeria monocytogenes on ready-to-eat poultry products with the antimicrobials nisin, malic acid, and grape seed extract incorporated into whey-protein coatings was evaluated. The antimicrobials were incorporated into the coating solution alone and in combinations. One gram pieces of turkey frankfurters were coated with the coating solutions and then inoculated with L. monocytogenes and stored at 4°C for 28 days. The inhibitory effect of the coatings on turkey frankfurter pieces was evaluated on d 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28. Coatings containing 2% malic acid, 3% malic acid, and the combination of nisin (6,000 IU/g) …


Critical Point Drier As A Source Of Contamination In Food Samples Prepared For Scanning Electron Microscopy, Gisele Larocque, A. F. Yang Jan 1993

Critical Point Drier As A Source Of Contamination In Food Samples Prepared For Scanning Electron Microscopy, Gisele Larocque, A. F. Yang

Food Structure

A valve in a critical-point drier regulating the flow of liquid carbon dioxide was found to be the source of minute metal particles which contaminated the fragments resulting from freeze-fracturing of food samples.
