Read More Meat and meat products are classified as perishable food items characterized by a limited shelf life when stored under refrigeration. Consequently, considerable attention has been focused on extending the shelf life of these products and preserving their quality through the utilization of natural preservatives. The objective of this research was to examine the impact of both free and nonencapsulated forms of mango-eggplant peel extracts (M-EPEs) administered at concentrations of 200, 450, and 700 mg/kg as natural preservatives on the physicochemical, oxidative, microbial, and sensory attributes of beef burgers over a 7-day storage period at a controlled temperature of 4°C. The findings indicated that throughout the storage period, there was a significant increase in oxidative indices, specifically peroxide and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) levels, as well as in microbial load, which included counts of aerobic mesophilic bacteria, psychrophilic bacteria, coliforms, molds, and yeasts. Consequently, these changes resulted in an elevation of pH and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) levels, alongside a reduction in hardness and color indices L*, a*, and b* of the samples (p < 0. 05) M-EPEs demonstrated significant antioxidant and antimicrobial properties in burgers, with these effects being concentration-dependent. Both forms of these extracts effectively diminished the rate of change in the physicochemical properties of the samples throughout the storage period. This was achieved by attenuating the oxidation rate of lipids and mitigating the microbial load present in the burgers. The highest oxidative stability and the lowest microbial load were observed at the maximum concentration of additives, specifically 700 mg/kg. At the conclusion of the storage period, the antioxidant and antimicrobial efficacy of the nonencapsulated extracts was found to be superior to that of their free counterparts. The findings from the sensory evaluation revealed a notable influence of the extracts on preserving the sensory acceptability of the burgers throughout the storage duration. In conclusion, the findings of this research indicate that M-EPEs exhibit significant antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. These natural extracts have the potential to serve as effective preservatives, thereby enhancing the quality and safety of meat burgers while also prolonging their shelf life without compromising sensory attributes. According to the findings, the sample containing nanocapsules of extracts at a concentration of 700 mg/kg emerges as the most effective treatment option.

Read More Considering the need to replace methyl bromide, the effect of Gamma and beta rays on the control of sawtoothed beetle and Mediterranean moths and the biochemical properties of fruit in two date varieties, Zahedi and Mozafati, were investigated. Packaged dates were exposed to doses of 0, 250, 500, 750, 1000 and 1250 g. Cobalt-60 source and beta radiation of 10 mega electron volts beam energy were used for irradiation. The results showed that the 90% lethal dose (LD90) of gamma radiation for the adult stage of the saw-toothed grain beetle on the Zahedi variety was 1132.33 Gy, and on the Mozafati variety, it was 1172.76 Gy. For the Mediterranean flour moth larvae, the LD90 on the Zahedi variety was 1055.16 Gy, and on the Mozafati variety, it was 1126.06 Gy. Furthermore, the 90% lethal dose (LD90) of beta radiation for the adult stage of the saw-toothed grain beetle on the Zahedi variety was 1160.92 Gy, and on the Mozafati variety, it was 1255.97 Gy. For the Mediterranean flour moth larvae, the LD90 on the Zahedi variety was 1177.67 Gy, and on the Mozafati variety, it was 1340.16 Gy. In both figures, the slope of the Brix index increased with increasing radiation dose and was higher in Gamma radiation treatments than in Beta radiation. The content of reducing sugars decreased with the gradual increase of the radiation dose level up to 1250 Gy compared to the control. Resistance to sugar content reduction was observed between 500 and 1000 g doses. With increasing radiation dose, the phenolic compound content gradually decreased. Also, the iron oxidation-reduction potential increased with increasing radiation dose. No significant difference was observed between the data of color parameter treatments. Results indicated that irradiation of date fruits of Zahedi and Mozafati cultivars of the estimated doses 1000 to 1250 Gy controlled two important storage pests of dates; bedide that, irradiation did not have significant negative effect on the biochemical properties of date cultivars.
