A Research Of Some Pathogen Microorganisms In Traditional Sharri Cheese, Ali Aydin, Endra Luzha

UBT International Conference

Sharri cheese is a traditional hard, fatty and salty type of cheese produced in Sharri, Gora, Opoja and Shtirpca towns in the Sharr Mountains region. Sharri cheese is produced by processing sheep milk, cow milk or their mixture. The aim of this study was to determine the microbiological quality of traditionally and industrially produced Sharri cheese. In total 58 samples of cheese were examined. Staphyloccocus aureus was positive in 57 samples. In a research for Eschericia coli, 34 samples showed result from 1x10¹/mL to 4.5x10⁶/mL. According to our results, Sharri cheese can carry risk for foodborne pathogens and these …

Hyperspectral Imaging Logics: Efficient Strategies For Agri-Food Products Quality Control, Giuseppe Bonifazi, Riccardo Gasbarrone, Silvia Serranti

UBT International Conference

The increasingly normative severity and market competitiveness have led the agriculture sector and the food industry to constantly look for logic improvements that can be applied in processes monitoring systems. In a context where fast, non-destructive and reliable techniques are required, image analysis-based methods have gained interest, thanks to their ability to spatially characterize heterogeneous samples. In such a scenario, HyperSpectral Imaging (HSI) is an emerging technique that provides not only spatial information of imaging systems, but even spectral information of spectroscopy. The utilization of the HSI approach opens new interesting scenario to quality control logics in agricultural and food …

Chemical Composition And Nutritional Value Of Raspberry Fruit (Rubus Idaeus L.), Hyrije Koraqi, Namik Durmishi, Kimete Lluga Rizani, Smajl Rizani

UBT International Conference

Raspberries fruits (Rubus idaeus L.) as important part of our diet are known for their sensory and nutritional characteristics, because of high content of essential nutrients that are beneficial for biological activity in human health. A high consumption of plant foods, such as raspberries, appears to decrease the risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and overall mortality. It can also promote a healthy complexion, increased energy, and overall lower weight. Nutritional quality was analyzed through by chemical parameter of fresh raspberry samples from plantation in Kosovo area at the ripe stage. The following quality parameters were determined in the raspberry’s …

Cholesterol Analysis By Enzymatic Method In Conventional, Pastured And Organic Eggs, Valon Durguti, Medin Zeqiri, Fjolla Vllasaliu

UBT International Conference

The concentration of cholesterol in three types of eggs has been analyzed through the enzymatic method. The types of analyzed eggs were: conventional, pastured and organic. Thirty five samples were analyzed, the sampling has been random, and the cholesterol analysis was done by GENESYS 10S UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. Analyzes have been conducted in research laboratories of the University for Business and Technology (UBT) - Kosovo. The average of the obtained results indicates a slightly lower cholesterol concentration in the type of pasture raised eggs compared to other types.

Parasite Fauna In Common Carp (Cyprinus Carpio L., 1758) From Cage Culture System On Tikvesh Reservoir (Macedonia), Dijana Blazhekovikj Dimovska, Stojmir Stojanovski

UBT International Conference

Parasites found in freshwater fishes are primarly protozoans, myxozoans, helminth (platyhelminths, nematodes and acanthocephalans), hirudineans and crustaceans. Although both ectoparasites and endoparasites are common in fishes, internal parasites are able to cause much greater damage to their hosts than external parasites.

Over the years, cage culture has become one of the economically viable methods of large-scale production of high-value food fishes. Although, cage farming has many economic advantages, diseases are one of the major limiting factors to the successful production.

The aim of this study was to determine the presence of parasite fauna in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L. …

Emirates Journal for Engineering Research

Optimal use of energy is a key requirement for sustainable agriculture. However, the growing demand for food has increased the energy consumption of the agricultural sector. Since the agricultural sector is the main sector of energy conversion, we focused on evaluating the efficiency of cucumber greenhouses in East Azerbaijan Province by artificial neural network and ANFIS. So, 135 cucumber producing greenhouses were sampled, and data were collected with an interview questionnaire. Finally, the inputs and output energy, the energy indices and the energy consumption of cucumber greenhouse was assessed and modeled. Among the inputs, fuel and seed had the highest …

Data From: Cavitation Clusters In Lipid Systems – The Generation Of A Bifurcated Streamer And The Dual Collapse Of A Bubble Cluster, Silvana Martini, Peter Birkin, Tadd T. Truscott

Browse all Datasets

Over the past decade several studies have reported the use of high intensity ultrasound (HIU) to induce the crystallization of lipids. The effect that HIU has on lipid crystallization is usually attributed to the generation of cavities but acoustic cavitation has never been fully explored in lipids. The dynamics of a particular cavitation cluster next to a piston like emitter in an oil, was investigated in this study. The lipid systems, which are important in food processing, are studied with high-speed camera imaging, laser scattering and pressure measurements. A sequence of stable clusters were noted. In addition, a bifurcated streamer …

Effects Of Poor Sanitation Procedures On Cross-Contamination Of Animal Species In Ground Meat Products, Sunjung Chung, Rosalee S. Hellberg

Food Science Faculty Articles and Research

The presence of <1% of an undeclared species in ground meat is generally thought to be indicative of cross-contamination as opposed to intentional mislabeling; however, this has not been experimentally tested. The objective of this study was to quantify the effects of poor sanitation on the cross-contamination of animal species in ground meat products, with the example of undeclared pork in ground beef. Cross-contamination was quantified using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Three different sanitation treatments were tested with a commercial grinder (“no cleaning”, “partial cleaning”, or “complete cleaning”) in between grinding of pork and beef samples (13.6 kg each). A 100-g sample was collected for each 0.91 kg (2 lb) of beef processed with the grinder and each sanitation treatment was tested twice. For the “no cleaning” treatment, the first 100-g sample of ground beef run through the grinder contained 24.42 ± 10.41% pork, while subsequent samples (n = 14) contained <0.2% pork. With “partial cleaning,” the first sample of ground beef contained 4.60 ± 0.3% pork and subsequent samples contained <0.2% pork. Pork was not detected in ground beef following “complete cleaning.” These results indicate that incomplete cleaning of grinding equipment leads to species cross-contamination at levels of <1% in most cases. Proper sanitation procedures must be followed when grinding multiple species in order to prevent cross-contamination and product mislabeling.
