Roe deer meat, due to the natural origin, is a source of organic and healthy meat. The selection of suitable storage conditions and times plays an important role in a deterioration of the meat’s functional and nutritional values. The knowledge about oxidation processes in roe deer meat stored and packed deploying different methods is limited. The main aim of this study was therefore to investigate the effect of storage method on the physicochemical properties of musculus longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL), musculus biceps femoris (BF), and musculus vastus lateralis (VL) of roe deer. The muscles were stored either dry (DRY-AGED), vacuum-packed (VAC), or packed under modified atmosphere (MAP) for 21 days. The quality of roe deer meat was assessed based on chemical composition, technological properties, pH values, water activity, colour, and oxidation processes of proteins and lipids. Roe deer meat had high protein (216.5–228.6 g/kg) and low fat content (17.1–25.8 g/kg). Both DRY-AGED and VAC contributed to improving meat tenderness during storage, while the Warner–Bratzler shear force of the MAP muscles increased. The high-oxygen conditions during MAP storage strongly induced the oxidation processes; an average increase of 1,263% for thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) level and 155% for protein carbonyl content on day 21. Vacuum packaging and dry-ageing are recommended methods for storing roe deer meat. The high oxygen atmosphere negatively affected the quality of this game species. It carries the risk of increased oxidation of proteins and lipids which may promote the formation of potentially detrimental compounds","PeriodicalId":20332,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Food and Nutrition Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45669978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although ayran is a traditional and nutritious Turkish beverage, the impact of microplastic pollution is unknown. This study examined the incidence of microplastic pollution on ayran by collecting samples throughout the production processes and the ingredients used to make ayran, including water, salt, cream, starting culture, cups, and lastly, the ayran. Optical and scanning electron microscope was applied for MP visualisation and measurement, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) for polymer identification. Microplastics were detected in all examined filters except for the starter culture samples. The samples with the highest MP number were salty water (43 MP number/100 mL), salt (33 MP number/100 g), and milk samples taken from homogenization and pasteurization phases (26 MP number/100 mL). Additionally, 18 MP number/100 mL contamination was detected in the last product ayran. MP with a size range of 1–150 µm prevailed (37.38%). Ethylene propylene was the most frequently identified polymer in samples (39.30%). The findings of this study can help provide an overview of microplastic contamination in dairy production facilities and the potential human health risks associated with this microplastic exposure.","PeriodicalId":20332,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Food and Nutrition Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45411906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is not widely accepted by consumers for direct consumption due to its organoleptic properties. The present work aims to provide information of interest that may be useful for obtaining protein extracts from pork liver with potential as techno-functional ingredients. Specifically, the obtained results indicate that pork liver has a high protein content, with collagen representing only a small protein fraction and being poor in non-protein nitrogenous compounds. In addition, from the solubility profile obtained in the pH range from 4.8 to 8.5, high extraction yields can be expected at alkaline pH. However, and despite the high microbiological quality of pork livers properly collected and processed, their pH, water content and nutritional richness make them highly susceptible to microbiological spoilage.","PeriodicalId":20332,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Food and Nutrition Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42073823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study evaluated the metabolic disturbances that are caused by HFCS on adipose tissue as well as the possibility of kefir as a therapy to prevent these metabolic disturbances. Male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: control, kefir, HFCS, and HFCS+kefir. HFCS (20%, w/v ) was given in drinking water and kefir (1 mL/100 g body weight) by gastric gavage daily for 8 weeks. Levels of insulin signaling, inflammation, and apoptosis-associated proteins of adipose tissues were determined with Western blot and immunohistochemical techniques. Gene expressions were evaluated with semi-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The indirect terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) method was used to assess changes in apoptotic cells, and hematoxylin/eosin staining to determine adipocyte number and diameter. Accordingly, HFCS boosted protein kinase B (Akt) and p-Akt while reducing nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) levels and kefir treatment restored Akt induction in HFCS-treated rats despite raising NF-κB, and TNFα. Increased expression of Akt and B-cell lymphoma-2 gene ( Bcl2 ) was contrasted with decreased expression of Nfkb, Tnfa, tumor protein 53 gene ( p53 ), and caspase-8 gene ( Casp8 ). Furthermore, while there was a marked reduction in TUNEL-positive cells in the HFCS group, the number of such cells was greater in the HFCS+kefir group. These results show that HFCS intake suppresses apoptosis in adipose tissues, which may be responsible for tissue development and abdominal obesity and may be reversed with kefir administration due to the activation of apoptosis-associated genes and proteins.","PeriodicalId":20332,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Food and Nutrition Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45040492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meat products had higher dry matter and lipid contents. Salami contained more protein, whereas frankfurters and kabanos sausages contained less protein than their respective analogs. Moreover, traditional kabanos sausages had a higher pH than their vegetarian alternatives. Indicators of the nutritional value of lipids and pH of vegetarian frankfurters and salami were higher than those of their meat counterparts. In turn, lipids of vegetarian kabanos sausages had lower ratios of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids, monounsaturated to saturated fatty acids and hypocholesterolemic to hypercholesterolemic fatty acids than traditional kabanos sausages. Among the color parameters, redness ( a *), yellowness ( b *) and chroma ( C *) of plant-based meat analogs were higher compared to those of meat products. These results indicate that the names of plant-based analogs, which make a direct reference to the corresponding traditional meat products, can be misleading for consumers who expect products with similar quality attributes.","PeriodicalId":20332,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Food and Nutrition Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49193594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
