In addition to nutritional value of food product, its keeping quality and functional properties during storage are also important in determining the quality of the food for consumption. The study aimed at evaluating the microbial and functional properties of lima bean flour during storage. Lima bean was processed into flour, packaged in low density polyethylene bag and stored at ambient (28 ± 2 o C) temperature for twenty-four weeks. The stored samples were evaluated for microbial (Total viable count and mold count) and functional properties (Bulk density, water and oil absorption capacity, foaming capacity, emulsion capacity and dispersibility). Total viable count (TVC) increased from 1.60 log cfu/g at week 0 to 4.25 log cfu/g at week 24 of storage. There was no mold growth till week 12 of storage. Mold count increased from 1.77 log cfu/g in week 12 to 3.77 log cfu/g in week 24. Both TVC and mold counts in the lima flour were far lower than the recommended limit of 10 6 cfu/g for TVC and 10 3 cfu/g for mold count respectively by International Microbiological Standards. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) in the bulk density of the lima bean flour at storage. Water absorption capacity, oil absorption capacity, foam capacity, emulsion capacity and dispersibility decreased slightly with storage time. The study showed that lima bean flour is safe for consumption and can serve as a potential functional food ingredient in food products formulation without much changes in its functional properties over a period of twenty-four weeks.","PeriodicalId":12384,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Quality Management","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75487677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mashing and wort quality is also affected during kilning of malt. Accordingly an experiment was conducted on the malt quality parameters for malts kilned in different temperature. In Ethiopia, there is high demand of quality malt for new emerging bear industries. Thus, this research aims to evaluate the effect of kilning temperature of selected barley variety Holker from Kulumusa research center Ethiopia. The kilning of germinated barley was performed at four different temperatures (50˚C, 70˚C, 90˚C and 110˚C) in order to produce four different malts. The experiment contained in combination of the four kilning temperatures laid out in complete randomized design with three replications. As a result, all investigated malt quality assessing parameters which includes the hot water extract, color, pH, malting weight loss and the wort viscosity were significantly different among the different treatment temperatures. Malts treated with 50˚C and 70˚C gave good malt quality containing higher hot water extract (79.7 and 75.17%), a normal color (2.32 and 2.63), standard pH (6.53 and 5.99), acceptable malting weight loss (0.60 and 1.55) and appropriate wort viscosity (1.66 and 1.62cp), respectively.","PeriodicalId":12384,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Quality Management","volume":"8 8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86355970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Qualitative analysis by using Delvotest SP was conducted to screen antibiotic residues. A total of 125 milk samples were collected for antibiotic screening test. From 125 milk samples screened 12% 15/125 were positive for antibiotic residues. The prevalence was associated with presence of mastitis, history of use of antibiotics for the treatment of disease in their farms and herd size. The higher prevalence of residues was found in the dairy farms with higher prevalence of mastitis that uses antibiotics commonly for the treatment of mastitis and other disease. The residue occurrence was also higher in dairy farm owners who use antibiotics by themselves for the treatment and prevention of dairy cattle disease than consulting to veterinary for the treatment of the infected animals. The prevalence were statistically significant at (p<0.05). Attention has to be paid to the presence of drug residues in milk by producers, processors and consumers to be aware about the health impact of consumption of antibiotic residue with milk. Finally the use of effective enforcement of milk quality and safety standards is essential to provide the public with safe and wholesome animal product particularly milk and milk products.","PeriodicalId":12384,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Quality Management","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81527667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Drug Residues in Foods of Animal Origin and Their Impact on Human Health: Review","authors":"Tamirat Herago","doi":"10.7176/fsqm/108-02","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7176/fsqm/108-02","url":null,"abstract":"The safety of human food is threatened by various agents including pathogenic microorganisms, and antimicrobial agents. Antibiotics are natural products of a micro-organism, or similar semi-synthetic products that inhibit the growth or destroy microorganisms. Residues of veterinary medicines are defined as pharmacologically active substances, principles, or degradation products and their metabolites, which remain in foodstuffs obtained from animals that have been administered the veterinary medicine. The most common causes for the presence of antibiotic residues in food of animal origin are violation of withdrawal periods, overdosing of antibiotics and use of inaccurate routes of administration of drugs. Drug residues concentrations vary from tissue to tissue and are generally observed to be higher in tissues of storage such as body fat or in organs that actively metabolize and excrete them. Probably the most common way milk is contaminated by penicillin is through intra-mammary infusion of the drug in the treatment of mastitis. The presence of antibiotics or their metabolites in food is potentially hazardous to health as it may cause allergic reactions in people and antibiotic resistance in pathogenic microorganisms. Some antibiotics like streptomycin, neomycin and gentamicin has been reported to cause damage to the kidney and to hearing. Allergic reaction to the human body mostly resulted from β -Lactam antibiotics. Anaphylactic reactions are reported to result from consumption of beef or pork containing penicillin. Drugs in which their residues induce cancer in humans or consumers are: nitrofurans, nitroimdazoles, etc. Antibiotics are invariably administered to dairy cattle, but their indiscriminate use, without adequate technical and veterinary control, can lead to a series of negative consequences at all levels of the dairy productive chain. Many antibacterial and anticoccidial drugs are licensed for use in poultry for treatment of enteric and respiratory disease. Potential adverse effects of drugs that appear as residues in food animals are: carcinogenic, allergic, toxic, neurologic disorder and microbiological effects.","PeriodicalId":12384,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Quality Management","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78976771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this study, six peasant associations (PAs) were selected using purposive sampling techniques. From each PA, 20 beekeepers (a total of 120) were randomly selected and interviewed using pre-tested, structured questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0  software and descriptive statistics. Results of the study showed that the mean age of the respondents was 46.54 years, indicating an active and productive age. The beekeepers had an average experience of 5.76 years where male respondents (89.2%) take the largest share to be engaged in beekeeping activities. Ranking revealed that  pests, predators and Diseases (17.6%), shortage of bee forage (15.8%), unwise application of agrochemicals (15%), honeybee colony absconding and migration (10%), shortage of bee colony (9.4%), high cost of honeybee equipments and accessories (8.1%), recurrent drought and deforestation (6.8%), shortage of water (4.6%), lack of knowledge (3.6%), poor extension services (2.7%), poor hive management (2.7%), inadequate of business support services (2.1%) and bee poisoning from plants (1.5%) the main constraints of beekeeping in the study area in their order of importance. The main causes of colony absconds and migration in the study area were pests and predators (21%), shortage of bee forage and water (20.6%), incessant disturbance or poor hive management (18.3%), unwise application of agrochemicals (13.9%), unfavorable weather condition (8.1%), in appropriate of honey harvesting techniques (3.97%) and unknown reasons (2.2%). The main month in which colony absconding occurs is from December to February. Beekeepers in the study area prevent the incidence of swarming by using large volume of hive (33%), suppering of hive (26%), removal of queen cells (19.7%), killing new emerged queen (11.7%) and swarming return back to the colony (10%). The study demonstrated that honey productions in the study area are hampered by several constraints and challenges. Therefore, large scale and comprehensive research on constraints and honeybee diseases are highly recommended to take in preventing colony mobility as identified in this study.

Dairy value chain upgrading was analyzed with objectives of identifying actors in dairy value chain upgrading and measuring their performances. Data were collected in the town at dairy producers’ level, traders (retailers) level and expert level through structured questionnaire and key informant interviews. Censuses of 141 dairy producers were conducted by dividing them into three different scale farm producers. Accordingly producers who have 1-5 dairy cows were categorized as small scale producers, 6-10 medium scale producers and >11 dairy cows were taken as large scale dairy farms. Based on this classification there were 100, 34, and 7 small, medium and large scale dairy respectively in the town. It was assumed that all large scale were processors, but one producer was found to be non-processor and was omitted from census survey. So, the survey was conducted with 140 dairy producers in the town. Data were analyzed by value chain analysis. The results from the descriptive statistics shows that from total dairy producers 46% were processing dairy /milk into yogurt, cheese and butter. Twenty four percent of the producers convert milk into yogurt, 11% process into cheese and butter, and another 11% process dairy into yogurt, cheese and butter.
