The first group of lambs was fattened for 60 days, the second 120 and the third 180 days. Nutrition of the lamb to rejection (40 days) is the mother's milk. After 40 days, it switched to pelleted concentrate (with 18% protein) and a quality hay, which was ad libidum as the concentrate. At the end of the fattening, the lamb is slaughtered by the usual technique. The objectives of this study were 1) to determine the effect of fattening and a gender on sensory properties of baking lamb meat, and 2) to determine the effect of heat processing on sensory attributes and cooking and breaking loss. Losses on the weight of the cooking and baking, between the first and third, as well as between the second and third groups show a significant difference (P<0,01) both in male and female lambs. There are no significant differences for male and female lambs in all three groups in terms of loss mass of meat (%) during the heat treatment. During the cooking, ie, the roasting of the meat, minimal, insignificant, differences in the loss of mass among the male and female lambs were observed. It can be concluded that the gender of lambs has no significant effect on the loss in meat mass during heat treatment. The smell, taste, and softness in all three groups are not significant in male and female lambs. Mean juicy values are significant (P<0.01) higher for the second in relation to the first group in both genders lambs. The sensory characteristics of roasted meat of female lambs in the three groups were assessed with higher grades compared to male lamb meat. Statistically significant differences between the genders in terms of meat taste were determined in the second (P<0.05) and the third (P<0.01) group of lambs. It can be concluded that thermally treated meat of female lambs has better sensory qualities than the male lamb's meat.","PeriodicalId":23662,"journal":{"name":"World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, International Journal of Nutrition and Food Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85112175","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}

Soy-protein isolate and cassava starch blends were prepared and mixed at different proportions (100: 0%; 90: 10%; 80: 20%; 70: 30%; 60:40%; 50: 50% and 0:100%).

The response values of the membrane such as solubility, water vapor permeability, elongation at break, and puncture strength were best fitted into quadratic model while that of the tensile stress was best fitted into linear model considering their values of predicted R2 and adjusted R2. The optimum formulation for the manufacture of the composite membrane is B4 (70% soy-protein isolate and 30% cassava starch) and P2 (80% glycerol and 20% sorbitol) with the desirability value of 0.039.

The results showed that more energetic homogenization processes (longer duration and higher ultrasound power) favored the physicochemical properties, keeping the emulsions more stable.

Application of power ultrasound in combination with other food processing methods including drying, is considered to be an emerging and promising technology. The use of novel non-thermal technologies, such as power ultrasound, is suitable to facilitate the drying of heat sensitive food materials. Ultrasound enhance heat and mas transfer which result in faster moisture removal during drying due to heating, vibration and synergistic effects. These effects could lead to product quality preservation in terms of color, texture, vitamin C and antioxidants content, by the use of milder drying conditions, and in some cases can promote better energy efficiency. In this article, after a brief review on the history of ultrasonic drying, different methods are categorized and combinations of ultrasound with novel drying methods and their effects on phytochemicals are discussed with the focus on the recently published articles. Studies showed that the quality of ultrasonically dried products was usually higher than conventionally dried products. However, the effect of ultrasonic drying on the texture and nutritional value of the products should be further investigated.","PeriodicalId":23662,"journal":{"name":"World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, International Journal of Nutrition and Food Engineering","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78010089","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}
