Accordingto the overall sensory scores, the Nile tilapia and mullet samples collected from the different local markets could be classified into three categories of quality grade as follows: High quality grade (score between 8 to 10), acceptable grade (score between 5 to 7.9) and unacceptable grade (less than 5).The TVB-N values in the different samples were below the maximum value of 30 mg N/100g flesh (upper limit according to E. O. S. Q. C., 2005, ES: 3494). The TMA-N value of Nile tilapia and grey mullet collected from the different markets were within the recommended standard limits for acceptability.The pH values of Nile tilapia varied from 7.01 to 7.38. The data obtained showed significant differences (P< 0.05) among the samples. Further, Hanuvil market samples had the highest value of pH, while samples collected from El Wardian market had the lowest value of pH, with no significant differences between El Wardian, Alqsy and Bab Omar Pasha market samples. It was found that the pH values of grey mullet samples ranged from 6.74 to 7.18. Hanuvil samples followed by El Amreya samples were recorded to have the highest value of pH with no significant difference between them. On the other hand, Bakkous samples followed by Zananiri samples showed the lowest value of pH with no significant difference between them.The results indicated that the psychrophilic bacterial count of Nile tilapia and grey mullet collected from differentmarkets were higher than mesophilic bacterial count. All Nile tilapia and grey mullet samples had high quality considering that the microbiological upper limit for fresh fish proposed by E. O. S. Q. C. (2005, ES: 3494) not exceed 106 CFU/flesh.","PeriodicalId":443317,"journal":{"name":"Alexandria Journal of Food Science and Technology","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115908036","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}

Changes in the physical,chemical and organoleptic properties of bread products were determined. Substituting the water by either whey or permeate in Baladi bread manufacture caused significant effect on dough mixing properties (Farinograph) and slight increase in ratio of solution absorption for the dough preparation. A significant (P<0.05) increase was observed in the values of mixing tolerance index (MTI) for permeate dough at two substitution levels. The values of energy, extensibility,resistance of extension and proportion number increased significantly (P<0.05) in both whey or permeate dough by increasing replacing level. Whey or permeate had significant effects on texture profile analysis of Baladi bread. Total solids, protein, ash, carbohydrate and minerals contents were faound to increase significantly (P<0.05) in resultant bread with increasing the ratio of whey or permeate added to the bread blend. The values of alkaline water retention capacity for all tested bread samples were reduced significantly (P<0.05) during storage. Substitution of water with whey or permeate in Baladi bread formula especially 100% could be enhance the sensory properties in the resultant product. It could be concluded that, Egyptian Baladi bread can made by adding cheese whey or milk permeateas a water substitute up to 100%. This fortification could enhance the quality attributes, acceptability and nutritive value of the product.","PeriodicalId":443317,"journal":{"name":"Alexandria Journal of Food Science and Technology","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124079228","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}

Quinoa has complete nutritional characteristics and is gluten free, so it is tolerable for CD. The objective of this study was to estimate chemical, sensory and biological evaluation of some formulated quinoa products as an alternative food suggested for CD. Quinoa, rice, corn, chick-pea flours and their products (cake, biscuit and toast) in different ratio were prepared and examined for sensory properties. It was found that; the best acceptable blends were quinoa flour: rice flour: corn flour with rito1:1:1in cake and toast and quinoa flour: rice flour: chick-pea flour with rito1:1:1in biscuit. Biological evaluation was done on 32 albino male rates classified into four equal groups of eight rats each. Group 1 was the control group, the other groups were fed on the products for 8 weeks. Weight gain and relative organ weights were estimated. Blood picture, lipid profile, alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), total protein, albumin, bilirubin, creatinin, uric and glucose were estimated. The results revealed that quinoa flour was free of gluten and the percentage of saponin after washing was 0.2 %. Quinoa flour had 16.4% protein, 8.2 % fat and was rich in Ca, P, Na, K, Mg and Cu. The percentage of some essential amino acids in quinoa flour surpassed the FAO model. Quinoa flour had low percentage of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, but it had high contents of polyunsaturated fatty acids ω6 and ω3. Cake and biscuit were higher in protein, fat and fiber than toast, while toast was the highest in minerals content except for Cu. The biological evaluation for the three products showed that; the weight gain decreased in all the treated groups. All the parameters of the blood tests were as that of the control except for the hemoglobin level. Total lipids, cholesterol, triglycerides and low density lipoprotein (LDL) were higher in cake fed group than the control group. Liver functions and kidney functions were not affected by feeding on the products; there were no differences in AST and bilirubin levels between the treated groups.

The main techniques of food bio-preservation, include the application of bacteriocins, bacteriophages, endolysins, and protective cultures, which compose mainly of lactic acid bacteria. To date, the use of lactic acid bacteria (as protective cultures) or their metabolites in foods is known as the main acceptable tool of food bio-preservation. This review focus on the concept of food bio-preservation and its techniques, and the role of lactic acid bacteria and their antimicrobials in food bio-preservation. Among lactic acid bacteria, particular attention is given to Lactobacillus plantarum, a versatile species with important antimicrobial activity. This species is known to produce numerous bacteriocins and antifungal-active compounds.

There are numerous analytical methods which are capable of monitoring the quality deterioration in heating oils due to their repeated heating in deep fat frying processes. This work explores the effect of heating on the physical behaviour of soybean and rapeseed oils and their blends. Colour measurements, electrical impedance and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used for monitoring the changes in oils and their blends due to the heating process. The results revealed that all methods are able to respond to the oil changes due to the heating process with different levels of accuracy. It was obvious that, colour measurements represented a high level of standard deviation. Electrical impedance showed its ability to be a candidate as a rapid monitoring method. Also, DSC was able to follow small changes in oils along with heating.

Acetone was found to be the most promising rapid and simple conditions for preparing acetone dry powder of partially purified crude papain. Papain properties indicated that the maximum activity was attained at pH 7.5–8.0, and temperature of 75 -85°C. The activity was not affected by Na+ or Ca++ ions. Various degrees of inhibition were exerted by Ni+,+, Co++, Pb ++,and Hg++., while Cu++, caused complete inhibition .On the other hand, the proteolytic activity increased to various levels, in the presence of Sn++, cyanide, thioglycolic acid, and cysteine hydrochloride. The catalytic activation (49%) of Sn++ was found to depend to some extent on the concentration.
