    (2018-01-01) ;
    Uesakulrungrueng, Chanpen
    Background and Objective: The packaging system of jerky, a semi-dried meat product, is one of the most important factors controlling product deterioration during prolonged storage, especially in the case of spent hen meat, which is susceptible to oxidation. This typical product is generally packed in vacuum (VAC) packaging or via heat sealing with an oxygen scavenger (HSOS). This study aimed to determine the suitable packaging and to assess the physicochemical, microbiological and sensory qualities of spent hen jerky packed using different packaging methods (VAC vs. HSOS) over 90 days of storage. Methodology: The jerky was prepared by grinding spent hen meat and mixing it with ingredients, followed by forming, dehydrating and roasting the jerky. The resulting products were randomly packed under VAC or via HSOS and stored at 32±2°C for 90 days. The changes in the physicochemical and microbiological qualities of the packed products were determined at 15 days intervals, while the changes in the sensory qualities were evaluated at 90 days by comparison with freshly prepared product (0 day) as a control. Results: The moisture content and water activity of the jerky increased with the storage period (p<0.05), with no significant differences observed between the packaging methods (p>0.05). Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances (TBARS) increased in samples during storage (p<0.05), but the HSOS packaging retarded the lipid oxidation in jerky compared to the VAC packaging. Moreover, the HSOS-packed product showed higher redness, yellowness and vividness and lower microbial growth during storage than did the VAC-packed product (p<0.05). According to the sensory evaluation, the jerky packed via HSOS and stored at 90 days had higher flavor and overall acceptability scores than that packed under VAC (p<0.05) and had similar scores to the those of the freshly prepared product. Conclusion: The results indicated that the HSOS treatment is preferred for packing jerky processed from spent hen meat because it can retard lipid oxidation, color deterioration and microbial growth during storage.

    (2020-01-01) ;
    Nithisantawakhup, Jiraroj
    ;
    The effects of different strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) inoculation on the fermentation rates and qualities of moo som, a traditional Thai fermented pork, were evaluated. Lactobacillus plantarum KL102 (spontaneous starter) and L. plantarum TISIR543 (commercial starter) were used as starter cultures in the production of moo som. The decreased amounts of Staphylococcus aureus and coliforms in moo som inoculated with L. plantarum KL102 were at faster rates than those in Moo som inoculated with L. plantarum TISIR543. However, the final products of moo som inoculated with both LAB starters did not find S. aureus or and coliform loadings. Inoculation of both LAB starters could control growth of yeast in samples during fermentation. Furthermore, both starter cultures exhibited a higher rate of fermentation than the control (without inoculum), as demonstrated by the faster rate pH drop and acid production (p < 0.05) during fermentation, while the fermentation of all samples were completed within 3 d. Due to higher acid production rate, texture, and especially hardness, gumminess and chewiness of inoculated moo som were higher than control moo som in the final products (p < 0.05). From the results, the inoculation of LAB starter was more beneficial in color and in overall sensory evaluation (p < 0.05). The overall quality was positively correlated with the color, odor, and texture of moo som (p < 0.01). Based on microbiological and physicochemical qualities and sensory evaluation, KL102 is a potential LAB starter for moo som production.

    To obtain proteases with high collagenolytic activity, 400 bacteria isolates were screened. The secreted proteases from Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis B13 (isolated from beef butchery) and B. siamemsis S6 (isolated from soil) which showed the two highest activity to hydrolyze collagen from bovine Achilles tendon were partially characterized. After enzyme fractionation, both enzymes had the optimum pH for the collagenolytic activity at pH 7.5. However, the optimum temperature of enzyme produced by S6 (60 °C) was higher than B13 (50 °C). The inhibitor study revealed that these proteases were mainly a member of serine proteases and some metalloproteases. Both enzymes were able to degrade collagen with multiple cleavage sites as observed by electrophoretic patterns. In contrast to papain and bromelain, these collagenolytic proteases showed strong hydrolysis toward collagen and elastin as well as beef intramuscular collagen with low beef myofibrillar protein degradation. Moreover, the lower digestion of myofibrillar protein and casein by these enzymes as compared with collagenase from Clostridium histolyticum were observed. These proteases could be applied as a meat tenderizer when collagen or connective tissue protein was responsible for the meat toughness.

    Selection of indigenous starter culture for safety and its effect on reduction of biogenic amine content in Moo som
    (2019-01-01) ;
    Nithisantawakhup, Jiraroj
    ;
    Results: KL102 and TISIR 543 were susceptible to penicillin G, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, gentamycin, streptomycin, vancomycin, ciprofloxacin and trimethoprim (MIC90 ranging from 0.25 to 4 μg/mL). All strains were negative amino acid-decarboxylase for lysis of biogenic amines in screening medium. For fermentation in Moo som broth, a relatively high maximum growth rate of KL102 and TISIR543 resulted in a generation time than in the other strains (p<0.05). These strain counts were constant during the end of fermentation. Similarly, KL102 or TISIR543 addition supported increases of lactic acid bacterial count and total acidity in Moo som fermentation. For biogenic amine reduction, tyramine, putrescine, histamine and spermine contents in Moo som decreased significantly by the addition KL102 during 1 d of fermentation (p<0.05). In final product, histamine, spermine and tryptamine contents in Moo som inoculated with KL102 were lower amount those with TISIR543 (p<0.05).Objective: The aims of this study were to select one strain of Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) for a potential indigenous safe starter culture with low level antibiotic resistant and low biogenic amine production and evaluate its effect on biogenic amines reduction in Moo som.Methods: Three strains of indigenous L. plantarum starter culture (KL101, KL102, and KL103) were selected based on their safety including antibiotic resistance and decarboxylase activity, and fermentation property as compared with a commercial starter culture (L. plantarum TISIR543). Subsequently, the effect of the selected indigenous safe starter culture on biogenic amines formation during Moo som fermentation was studied.Conclusion: KL102 was a suitable starter culture to reduce the biogenic amine formation in Moo som.

    ;
    The results showed that their cook values were 72.42, 87.05 and 95.04 min, respectively. Microbiological analysis and sterility test were proved that the samples were safety for microbiological quality. However, parameters of texture profile (hardness, gumminess, springiness and chewiness) decreased as F0 value was increased (p<0.05). Similarly, shear force decreased with increasing F0 value (p<0.05). The CIE L Value increased and CIE a*values decreased as F0 value was increased. For sensory evaluation, semi-trained panelists mostly impressed this product which produced by F0 value of 10 min (p<0.05). Therefore, the development of Chinese braised beef in retort pouch was satisfied with F0 value of 10 min.

    Quality of steak restructured from beef trimmings containing microbial transglutaminase and impacted by freezing and grading by fat level
    Objective: The objective of this research was to evaluate the physico-chemical, microbiological and sensorial qualities of restructured steaks processed from beef trimmings (grade I and II) and frozen beef (fresh beef as control and frozen beef). Methods: Beef trimmings from commercial butcher were collected, designated into 4 treatments differing in beef trimmings grade and freezing, processed into restructured steaks with 1% microbial transglutaminase and then analyzed for product quality. Results: The results showed that all meat from different groups could be tightly bound together via cross-linking of myosin heavy chain and actin as observed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Microbial counts of psychrotrophic and mesophilic bacteria were not affected by treatments (p>0.05), and no detectable of thermophilic bacteria were found. Regarding effect of beef trimmings grade, steaks made from beef trimmings grade II (16.03% fat) showed some superior sensorial qualities including higher tenderness score (p<0.05) and tendency for higher scores of juiciness and overall acceptability (p<0.07) than those made from beef trimmings grade I (2.15% fat). Moreover, a hardness value from texture profile analysis was lower in steaks processed from beef trimmings grade II than those made from grade I (p< 0.05). Although some inferior qualities in terms of cooking loss and discoloration after cooking were higher in steaks made from beef trimmings grade II than those made from beef trimmings grade I (p<0.05), these differences did not affect the sensory evaluation. Frozen beef improved the soft texture and resulted in effective meat binding as considered by higher cohesiveness and springiness of the raw restructured product as compared to fresh beef (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results indicated the most suitable raw beef for producing restructured steaks without detrimental effect on product quality was beef trimmings grade II containing up to 17% fat which positively affected the sensory quality and that frozen beef trimmings increased tenderness and meat binding of restructured beef steaks.

    Increasing the Quality of Blood Tofu in an Industrial Slaughterhouse of Thailand
    (2022-01-01) ;
    Teemeesuk, Worraluk
    ;
    Blood tofu, or cooked duck blood curd, is a Chinese delicacy in East Asia. Its quality and shelf-life are low due to microorganism contamination during production. Therefore, the present study was performed to investigate the role of sodium diacetate (SD), sodium chloride (NaCl), and polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG) combinations in increasing the quality of blood tofu. A total of 45 cooked duck blood curd samples were randomly divided into 3 groups with 3 replicates per group. The first two groups were used to investigate the effect of SD, NaCl, and PEG combinations on microbiological and physical analyses for non-inoculated samples. Another group was used to determine the effect of antimicrobial combinations on Lactobacillus plantarum, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus in inoculated samples that were inoculated with these bacteria. All groups were treated with control-sterilized water, 0.15% SD (w/v) + 1.25% NaCl (w/v), 0.30% SD (w/v) + 1.25% NaCl (w/v), 0.15% SD (w/v) + 0.15% PEG (w/v), and 0.15% SD (w/v) + 1.25% NaCl (w/v) + 0.15% PEG (w/v). The results indicated that soaking cooked duck blood curd samples in antimicrobial agent combinations could reduce mesophile and psychrophile bacteria counts in non-inoculated samples. Additionally, 0.15% SD + 1.25% NaCl + 0.15% PEG combination had a higher reduction in mesophile and psychrophile counts, compared to soaking the samples in 0.30% SD + 1.25% NaCl, 0.15% SD + 1.25% NaCl and 0.15% SD + 0.15% PEG combinations. Similarly, this combination showed a significant decrease in lactic acid bacteria, Pseudomonas, Salmonella, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus counts in inoculated samples. Furthermore, soaking the samples in 0.15% SD + 1.25% NaCl + 0.15% PEG combination did not negatively affect the samples’ physical quality. Soaking the samples in 0.15% SD + 1.25% NaCl + 0.15% PEG combination inhibited the growth of mesophile, psychrophile, and Pseudomonas in non-inoculated samples after storage for 10, 6, 10, and 8 days in a slaughter warehouse at 7°C, respectively, and extended shelf-life of samples for 16 days. Regarding physical quality changes, this treatment delayed the reduction of pH, hue, hardness, and chewiness of the samples after storage for 10, 8, 12, and 10 days, respectively. Thus, SD, NaCl, and PEG combination had a high preservative potential for cooked duck blood curd used in industrial slaughterhouses

    ;
    This research aimed to assess the effect of collagenolytic proteases from Bacillus subtilis B13 and Bacillus siamensis S6 for tenderizing goat meat during wet aging. Collagenolytic proteases B13 and S6 were prepared at 5 U/mL of collagenolytic activity before injecting into goat meat with 10% (v/w) of initial weight. The control sample was injected with distilled water and used as a negative control. The injected meats were placed in vacuum-sealed bags and wet aged at 4℃ for 0, 3, 5, 7, 14, and 21 days. Thereafter, total aerobic count and physicochemical quality were elucidated. Both enzyme-treated samples from B13 and S6 aged for 5 days showed an acceptable microbial quality with lower than 5.7 Log CFU/g. These conditions produced the tender meats by the reduction in shear force accounting for 30% for B13 and 26% for S6 as compared to the control. Moreover, the enzyme-treated samples showed lower values of hardness, gumminess, and chewiness, with higher springiness and trichloroacetic acid-soluble peptides than the control (p<0.05). The detrimental impact on cooking loss and lipid oxidation was not found. Enzyme-injected meat had a lower cooking loss than the control (p<0.05) with no significant difference in lipid oxidation (p>0.05). Notably, meats treated with B13 and S6 were lower in CIE L* value as compared to the control (p<0.05) with no significant impact on CIE a* and CIE b* (p>0.05). These results suggested that these two collagenolytic proteases could enhance the quality of goat meat in terms of tenderness and reduce the aging time for meat tenderization.

    Enhance antibacterial effects of combination sodium diacetate and surfactant agent on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli and quality of fresh chilled ground pork
    (2018-01-01) ;
    Akapakul, N.
    ;
    Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli are important foodborne pathogenic bacteria and serious intimidations to human health worldwide. This study was to reduce and control growth of S. aureus and E. coli and the spoilage bacteria in fresh ground pork stored at 5 and 15°C using sodium diacetate (SD) alone and in combination with polyethylene glycol (PEG). Microbial and physical qualities of ground pork (inoculated with S. aureus and E. coli 4log cfu/g) added 0.25%SD, 1.25%SD and 0.16%SD in combination with 0.16%PEG were investigated. The results showed that the adding 1.25%SD and 0.16%SD in combination with 0.16%PEG could significantly (p < 0.05) reduce S. aureus, E. coli, aerobic plate count (APC) and psychrotrophic bacteria population in ground pork. The both treatments could control growth of both pathogenic bacteria in ground pork stored at 5°C for 14 days. In addition, these treatments could control growth of S. aureus and E. coli stored at 15°C for 4 and 6 days, respectively. The adding both treatments could control growth of APC and extend shelf life of ground pork stored at 5 and 15 °C for 12 and 8 days, respectively. However, the low pH of high concentration SD alone caused the highest weight loss and discoloration. No adverse effect of low concentration SD in combination with PEG in ground pork was observed. Its weight loss and color was not significantly different from those of non-treated at both storage temperatures (p > 0.05). Hence, this study suggests that 0.16%SD in combination with 0.16%PEG has great potential to be used as a good preservative for fresh chilled ground pork.

    Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis S13, a new isolate from soil is found to be the collagenase producing bacteria. The results showed that gelatin concentration, initial pH, and incubation time were accounted for significant factors from PB design and then applied for a central composite design (CCD) under response surface methodology (RSM) for optimization of significant factors were performed. The optimum parameters for the enhancing gelatinase production through CCD and response surface methodology were 19 g/l of pork gelatin, initial pH 6.16 for culture medium, and 59 h of incubation time, which provided the predicted maximum collatinolytic activity of 65.36 U/ml. This condition allowed approximately increasing 4-folds as compared to un-optimized condition (15 U/ml). The obtained optimal activity of this enzyme might be expressed the potential collagenase for several applications including meat tenderizing enzyme.
