Effect of Echinacea purpurea L. on oxidative status and meat quality in Arbor Acres broilers

BACKGROUND: Echinacea purpurea L. (EP) is a popular herbal antioxidant and immunomodulator. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of EP on meat quality and oxidative status in broilers. Two hundred and fifty (1‐day‐old) male broilers (Arbor Acres) were randomly allocated to five groups including the control (corn‐soybean meal diet) and 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0% EP powder groups, with two replicates per treatment group. RESULTS: The results indicated that the addition of 0.5% and 1.0% EP significantly increased water‐holding capacity and decreased storage loss of breast and thigh fillets at 35 days old. For fillet colour, L* (lightness) values were lower, and a* (redness) and b* (yellowness) values were higher with EP supplementation. Lower crude fat contents were observed in EP groups in comparison with control at 35 days of age in breast and thigh fillets, respectively. Production of malondialdehyde was slightly reduced in serum of EP supplemented birds compared to the control group. Results for Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity, catalase and superoxide dismutase were significantly higher for the 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0% EP supplemental groups than control group in serum. Liver and spleen tissues results showed that the antioxidative enzymes activities were higher with EP powder at 35 days of age. CONCLUSION: Dried EP can be used as a feed additive to improve the meat quality and oxidative status in Arbor Acres broilers. Copyright © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry     

Chelex 法结合环介导间接聚合酶链式反应检测肉制品单增李斯特菌

目的：建立肉制品中单增李斯特菌环介导间接聚合酶链式反应检测体系,实现快速检测。方法：采用Chelex法从肉制品中分离模板DNA,根据单增李斯特菌hlyA基因的保守区设计两条探针,将探针标记于报告基因(大豆Lectin基因)的两端,此标记的报告基因与待测靶基因经杂交、缺口补平、环化后,采用反向聚合酶链式反应扩增报告基因,实现对靶基因的检测。结果：该检测体系检出限低于100CFU/g(mL),且与其他食源性致病菌的检测无明显交叉反应,对200份肉制品进行检测,阳性率为2.5%,与传统细菌分离检测结果完全相符。结论：环介导间接聚合酶链式反应可以快速、灵敏、特异检测肉制品中单增李斯特菌污染。

石家庄市零售鸡肉样品中弓形杆菌污染调查

目的调查石家庄市零售鸡肉中弓形杆菌的污染情况,为石家庄市弓形杆菌分布特征和防控提供基础数据支持。方法从石家庄市市内四区的菜市场、超市、连锁肉店随机购买零售鸡肉样品90份,应用驱动增强动力双孔滤膜法从样品中分离培养弓形杆菌,利用弓形杆菌多重聚合酶链式反应(PCR)检测及测序的方法对分离菌株进行种属鉴定,利用16S rDNA、rpoB基因测序的方法验证菌种鉴定结果。结果 90份鸡肉样品中,60份样品检出弓形杆菌86株,其中嗜低温弓形杆菌49株、布氏弓形杆菌37株,弓形杆菌检出率为66.67%(60/90)。60份阳性样品中,嗜低温弓形杆菌阳性样品45份(75.00%),布氏弓形杆菌阳性样品35份(58.33%)。嗜低温弓形杆菌和布氏弓形杆菌混合感染阳性样品20份,占比为22.22%(20/90)。不同采样点弓形杆菌检出率有较大差异。结论石家庄市零售鸡肉中弓形杆菌污染较重,嗜低温弓形杆菌污染率高于布氏弓形杆菌,两种弓形杆菌混合污染样品率较高。

鲤鱼鱼肉蛋白酶水解物抗氧化性及功能特性

采用碱性蛋白酶对鲤鱼鱼肉蛋白进行酶解,制备不同水解度的水解物。测定水解物的抗氧化活性以及不同pH值条件下水解物的功能特性。结果表明:随着水解度的逐渐升高,水解物的抑制脂质氧化能力、D PP H自由基清除能力、还原能力以及金属离子(Cu2+和Fe2+)螯合能力逐渐增加(P<0.05);同时,水解物的溶解性、乳化性和起泡性都在pH值为4.0(等电点)时达到最低,而后溶解性和乳化性随着pH值升高而增大(P<0.05),而起泡性随着pH值的升高先上升后又下降。因此,鲤鱼鱼肉蛋白碱性蛋白酶水解物可以提高蛋白质的抗氧化活性和溶解性,但是较高的水解度会在一定程度上降低其乳化性和起泡性。     

低温熏煮香肠的贮藏特性研究

对低温熏煮香肠在7℃贮藏条件下的感官、理化和微生物指标进行了研究。结果表明,随贮藏时间的延长,样品感官变化陆续表现为“空皮”、“出水、出油”和“胀袋”等腐败特征,同时伴有酸味、臭味等异味产生。随贮藏时间的延长,样品pH下降;TVB-N值先上升,后下降;TBARS值先上升,后下降;腐败微生物菌群的细菌总数消长规律为贮藏初期细菌总数缓慢上升,随后急剧上升,然后趋于稳定,最后下降。表明腐败微生物的生长繁殖和致腐是影响低温熏煮香肠产品质量和货架期的主要因素。

Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Raw Meats and Prepared Foods in Public Hospitals in Salvador,Bahia, Brazil

This study investigated the presence of methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in raw meat and fish and foods prepared from them for patient consumption in public hospitals in Salvador, Bahia, in northeastern Brazil. A total of 114 samples of raw meat and fish (chicken, n = 30; beef, n = 30; pork, n = 24; and fish, n = 30) and 63 samples of prepared foods (made with chicken, n = 15; beef, n = 15; pork, n = 15; and fish, n = 18) were collected from the kitchens of 10 different hospitals. Of the 114 investigated raw meat and fish samples, 28.1% were positive for MRSA, which comprised 23.3% beef, 23.3% chicken, 37.5% pork, and 30% fish samples. Of the prepared foods, 9.5% were positive for MRSA, which comprised 5.6% chicken products, 6.7% pork products, and 22.2% fish products. MRSA contamination was not detected in prepared beef dishes. A statistical analysis showed no association between the presence of MRSA and the type of raw food (P > 0.05). The high prevalence of MRSA among the raw foods tested and the presence of the microorganism in prepared foods emphasizes the necessity of enforcing hygienic practices within hospital kitchens.
