From taxonomic study, the psychrotrophic type of 3 isolates grew well at 4°C on Trypticase soy agar slant, whereas 2 isolates grew poorly. Cells of all isolates were sensitive to γ-irradiation in phosphate buffer, and the D10 values obtained were 0.16 to 0.18 kGy under aerobic irradiation conditions similar to the values of salmonellae. In the chicken meat sample, the D10 value obtained was 0.42 kGy the same value as in phosphate buffer under anaerobic irradiation conditions, and the necessary dose for inactivation of L. monocytogenes was estimated to be 2 kGy in raw chicken meat below 10-4 CFU (colony forming unit) per gram. In the storage study of chicken meat which was inoculated with about 3×103 CFU per gram of L. monocytogenes, the psychrotrophic type of the isolates grew quickly at 7 to 10°C storage. However, a dose of 1 kGy was also effective to suppress the growth of L. monocytogenes at refrigeration temperatures below 10°C.","PeriodicalId":12457,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Technology International, Tokyo","volume":"108 1","pages":"184-187"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87607680","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}

The quality of jang manufactured with the isolated bacteria and two kinds of natto bacilli, B. subtilis (natto) KFP2 and KFP419, was evaluated to be as good in sensory evaluation except for the viscosity. Therefore, the isolated bacteria were estimated as B. subtilis (natto). In jang, soybean proteins were degraded to increase soluble and formol nitrogens. Sticky materials were produced, and natto-like flavor was emitted. Jang prepared in the laboratory showed elastase activity, and it was twice-to-three-times higher than that of the commercial product. While jang is a different product from that of natto, both products contain the common starter and elastase.","PeriodicalId":12457,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Technology International, Tokyo","volume":"27 1","pages":"251-256"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77196410","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}

During brining, the NaCl contents of the yolk and albumen were increased 2-10 fold due to HCl treatment of the shell. The oil-off ratio, defined as the ratio of the free lipid to the lipid content of the yolk, was also affected by the penetration rate and brining time. Eggs treated with 1.0 N HCl for 120 min showed reduced time required to achieve the maximum lipid content and oil-off ratio and had a lower maximum value of oil-off ratio than eggs treated with 1 N HCl for 0-80 min. The yolk of HCl-treated (1.0 N, 80 min) egg changed in appearance mealy form to be granulous at 5-10 days and to a soft gel at 15-20 days after brining. In comparison, the eggs without HCl treatment respectively required 20-25 and 40 days for these changes.

The sucrose fatty acid ester coating reduced the weight loss and extended the storage life of the bananas. Coated bananas reached close to the hue angle of 90 degrees later than non-coated bananas, i.e., delayed degreening. Non-coated bananas which ripened faster also lost their firmness earlier. Among the sucrose fatty acid esters, a 2% palmitic acid ester coating significantly delayed the ripening phenomenon of bananas. The reducing sugar content of 2% stearic acid ester-coated banana was 7.56 g/100 g and was found to be significantly higher than that of other treatments.

Carotenoids belonging to both the α- and β-carotene categories decreased in the early stage of ripening, then the α-carotene category, especially lutein, increased significantly, but not the β-carotene category. Because the amount of α-cryptoxanthin was quite small, the process of hydroxylation of α-carotene to lutein, where α-cryptoxanthin was the intermediate product, seemed to occur quickly. Free lutein was easily esterified to lutein monoester and then was gradually further esterified to lutein diester; the amount of free, monoester and diester of lutein was about 20, 60 and 20% of total lutein, respectively after 4 days' storage. A small amount of isolutein, which is an epoxy of lutein, was observed and all isolutein was in the monoester form after 4 days' storage, but no diester form was detected.","PeriodicalId":12457,"journal":{"name":"Food Science and Technology International, Tokyo","volume":"44 1","pages":"264-268"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74405104","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}
