The Possibility Of Using Goose Meat In The Production Of Salami, Ahmet Güner, Yusuf Doğruer, Gürkan Uçar, Hi̇lal Duygu Yörük
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The aim of this investigation was to compare some quality characteristics of goose-meat salami with those of turkey- and chicken-meat salami in order to determine its suitability for consumption and to able to use goose meat for meat product technology. The pH values of experimental samples were highest in the goose-meat salami and lowest in the turkey-meat salami. Moisture rates of samples produced with a mixture of two kinds of poultry meat were lower than those of the others. Salmonella, coliform group bacteria and yeast-mould microorganisms were negligible in the experimental salami samples. Salami samples produced only from goose meat …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
In this study, pastırma samples were produced using potassium nitrate and commercial starter culture (Staphylococcus carnosus + Lactobacillus pentosus). The meat for pastırma was dry cured with NaCl, glucose and saccarose together with KNO_3. The use of starter culture in pastırma production had a significant effect on counts of total aerobic mesophilic bacteria, Micrococcus/Staphylococcus and lactic acid bacteria. The maximum counts of microorganisms were found in the 2^{nd} stage of the drying process. There was no significant difference between yeast mould counts in control and starter added samples. Nitrite and nitrate residues were lower in commercial starter added samples than …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
Carbohydrate compositions of apolipoprotein E (apo E) isolated from rat serum very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL) + low density lipoproteins (LDL) were analyzed and compared. Rat serum VLDL and IDL+LDL were isolated by a discontinuous density gradient ultracentrifugation for 7.9x107g.min. Following delipidization, apolipoproteins were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis. Apo E polypeptides were eluted by diffusion in 100 mM PBS buffer (pH 7) containing 0.05% SDS. Sugars were derivatized with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP) and subjected to high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis.

Transformation And Stability Of Cloned Polysaccharidase Genes In Gram-Positive Bacteria, Mehmet Sai̇t Eki̇nci̇, Harry J. Flint
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
Polysaccharidase genes from rumen bacteria were transferred to and expressed in ruminal and non-ruminal Gram-positive bacteria. The transformation efficiency and genetic stability of polysaccharidase genes in bacteria from different habitats were investigated. PCR amplification of cloned polysaccharidase genes from Escherichia coli, Lactococcus lactis, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus sanguis and S. bovis strain 26 showed that rearrangement of plasmid and the gene fragment did not occur. The DNA band sizes from all primers agreed with the expectations of some transformants of S. bovis JB1 being rearranged. In spite of the rearrangement in S. bovis JB1 polysaccharidase activities were conserved. Growing in the …
