The study examined the leaf extracts of Moringa oleifera and Bidens pilosa for presence bioactive phytochemicals their antioxidant activities on pH lipid oxidation fresh ground beef during 6 days cold storage. results revealed that B. extract contained higher amount compounds contents (p < 0.05) than M. extract. exhibited antiradical activity against 2,2-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl 2,2íazino- bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid radicals standard butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) 0.05)....
Animals of both sexes are slaughtered for meat and products at the abattoirs. It has been found in few countries that one-out-of-every-three ewe one-out-of-every-four doe with single, twin or multiple foetuses registered slaughterhouses. In quest meat, numerous viable embryos wasted unnoticed since productive pregnant animals not spared process. The trend slaughter (ranging from 54.5% to 70.1%) therefore calls a review reminisce issues on reforms, emphasize its implication losses genetic...
The cultural proceedings of animal slaughter in Africa always give impression that portrays traditional method as cruel. So far, the knowledge gap on meat quality traits from traditionally slaughtered animals has not been filled continent. No pre-slaughter welfare database generated or archived to characterize severity traumatic injury perceived be inflicted were for purposes. basis condemning African perception without stunning still remains subjective. As an alternative conventional...
Nano-scale detection and characterization of neurotransmitters from real samples is a novel analytical technique with multiple applications in the field nano-biotechnology. This in-situ electrochemical sensing tool has growing advantages high reproducibility, rapid response, superior sensitivity, selectivity, accuracy, miniaturization. A screen-printed iron oxide (Fe 3 O 4 ) modified electrode was harnessed this study for detecting epinephrine (EP), chemical messenger or signalling neuro...
This study investigates in-vitro activities of phytochemicals in Callistemon citrinus against multi-resistant foodborne pathogens, alpha-glucosidase enzyme and MCF-7 cancer cell line. Assays were prepared with lyophilized extracts to determine antioxidant capacity, inhibition α-glucosidase growth bacteria. Annexin-V detection kit was used for apoptosis FT-IR spectroscopy confirm structural functional groups phytochemicals. Cytotoxicity the cells monitored xCELLigence Real-Time Cell Analyser....
Callistemon citrinus is a member of Myrtaceae family that thrives under different ecological conditions. The leaves, flowers, stem backs and roots the plant contain various phytochemicals are useful in folk medicine for remedies such as antimicrobial, anti-nociceptive, fungicide anti-inflammatory purposes. In this study, we investigated cytotoxic effect leaf flower methanolic extracts against human Colo-205 Cell Line using real time cell analyzer device monitoring time-dependent manner. To...
The present work investigated the antibacterial activity of Ptaeroxylon obliquum leaves (POL) extracts in presence or absence ciprofloxacin by broth microdilution method and time–kill assay against bacterial strains associated with wound infections. Free-radical–scavenging (FRSA) was determined using stable 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl hydrate (DPPH) bioassay method. chemical composition most active antioxidant extract analysed a gas chromatograph interfaced mass spectrometer (GC-MS). All...
Ubiquitin C-terminal hydroxylase (UCH-L1) has been identified in few transcriptome studies as a biomarker coding for trauma and perception of pain non-meat species. For the first time, real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay was used to quantitate expression ovine ubiquitin 1 (ovUCH-L1 mRNA) from head-stunned Dohne Merino ewes lambs presented slaughter at high-throughput abattoir. The correlation between ambient environment quality variety meats those species also determined. level...
The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a public health emergency that turns the year 2020–2021 into annus horribilis for millions people across international boundaries. interspecies transmission this zoonotic virus and mutated variants are aided by exposure dynamics infected aerosols, fomites intermediate reservoirs. spike in first, second third waves confirms herd immunity not yet reached everyone including livestock still vulnerable to infection....
The microstructural orientation and tenderness of edible offal the psoas minor muscle from Dohne Merino sheep were compared in this study. Following evisceration cleaning, fresh meat samples collected slaughtered lambs ewes different age groups thermally processed to varying degrees doneness using sous vide apparatus. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used for characterization surface elemental composition. results showed that with anisotropic had higher Warner-Bratzler shear force...
