Abstract The aim of this study was to identify the most relevant welfare indicators for unloading, lairage, stunning, killing and post-mortem inspection in a poultry slaughter plant. Different were unloading duration, lairage time, environmental variables facilities, shackling time electrical used water bath.Lairage did not correlate strongly with dead on arrival. Heat stress limited by means ventilation systems, correct cage placement appropriate stocking density per crate. acceptable...
Abstract This work evaluated the effect of sun‐dried tomato waste (SDTP) on growth, carcasses, digestibility nutrients, digestive enzymes, blood chemistry and intestinal microbiota 250 one‐week‐old growing Japanese quail. The birds were randomly distributed into 5 equal groups. Group 1 was fed basal diet (BD) (control), Groups 2, 3, 4 BD containing 6, 9 12% SDTP respectively. significantly improved body weights gains at 3 weeks age compared with control, 6% level seems to be optimal used...
Stainless steel, widely present in the food industry, is frequently exposed to bacterial colonization with possible consequences on consumers’ health. 288 stainless steel disks different roughness (0.25, 0.5 and 1 μm) were challenged four Gram-negative (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Salmonella typhimurium 1402, Yersinia enterocolitica 9610 Pseudomonas aeruginosa 27588) Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus 6538, Enterococcus faecalis 29212, Bacillus cereus 14579 Listeria monocytogenes...
Formaggio di Fossa is an Italian traditional cheese of the Montefeltro area (Emilia Romagna and Marche regions) characterized by a particular step ripening that carried out into pits (infossamento) borne in sandstone. Since XIV century, inhabitants were used to set food, especially cereals cheese, preserve them during winter protect from invaders. The aim present work study physical chemical features this product with reference presence most important biogenic amines ( -Phenylethylamine,...
The Council Regulation (EC) No. 1099/2009 requires slaughterhouse managers to implement specific standard operating procedures for all pre-slaughter stages considered at risk, aimed achieving adequate levels of animal welfare. This survey was testing the applicability an abattoir heavy pigs assessment system welfare through animal-based measures. In monitoring handling operations, number animals fallen/slipped and prodded, that vocalising were recorded. immobilisation stage, carried out on...
The <em>Burrata</em> cheese is a traditional product from Southern Italy, consisting of an envelope <em>pasta filata</em> (stretched curd) filled with cream and pasta filata strips (usually leftovers mozzarella production). Physical (a<sub>w</sub>, pH), chemical (moisture, NaCl content) microbiological [total viable count (TVC), <em>L. monocytogenes</em>, <em>Salmonella</em> spp., <em>Y. enterocolitica</em>, <em>B....
The pre-slaughter mortality was investigated on broilers, in the Mediterranean climate condition, considering most significant risk factors as journey length, waiting time, season and space allowance cages. At first, studied totality of birds then by examining detail three broiler categories: large, medium small size. average dead arrival (DOA) recorded throughout year 0.38% values obtained winter, spring, summer autumn were 0.52, 0.48, 0.31 0.22%, respectively. rate observed during 0.47...
Abstract Depression‐related disorders are the first cause of disability worldwide according to World Health Organization, and there is limited availability effective antidepressant medications without side effects. Similarly, pain management a public health concern particularly due increase in use opioid medications, which have significant effect profile. Flavonoids can modulate numerous physiological functions including emotional anti‐nociceptive processes. Gold lotion (GL) natural product...
One of the main concerns food industry is microbial adhesion to contact surfaces and consequent contamination. We evaluated potential bacteriostatic/bactericidal efficacy aluminum with different large-scale roughness (0.25, 0.5 1 μm) before after surface treatment a special anodizing based on titanium oxide nanotechnology (DURALTI®) 3 sanitizing treatments, e.g., UV, alcohol natural product named Gold lotion. Four Gram-negative (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Salmonella typhimurium 1402,...
The aim of the study was to evaluate hygienic status sheep carcasses skinned with two different procedures, pulling down and Y cut methods, without use compressed filtered air inflation. Five per day for each four skinning methods considered were sampled on ten slaughtering days using wet dry swab techniques at a local abattoir specialised in ovine slaughtering. A pool sampling sites (brisket, shoulder, thorax rump) animal. Furthermore, animals also randomly selected separately swabbed...
The aim of the study was to evaluate biogenic amine (BA) content <em>Ciauscolo</em> salami made with and without use a selected started culture. Two batches were following guidelines Protected Geographical Indications: adding commercial starter culture <em>Lactobacillus plantarum</em> <em>Staphylococcus xylosus</em>. Six samples per batch collected at different ripening times (0, 15, 30, 45 60 days) for physical, chemical microbiological analyses...
The flow of information between farms and slaughterhouses about animal health, is a fundamental process for modern meat inspection. provided by Food Chain Information (FCI) systems in medium-small sized central Italy, focusing on the data animal’s health status, was performed through five-year survey together with number organ carcass condemnation bovine, swine ovine. annual prevalence higher bovine (from 10.49% 2015 to 17.16% 2019) than 6.39% 12.64% ovine 8.05% 2019 8.98% 2017), an overall...
In the last century, exponential increase of industrial food production led to disappearance "Italian traditional niche products". However, national regulations allowed preservation several these products, including burrata cheese. Twenty-one samples from three different batches "Burrata di Andria" Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) were purchased dairy factories PGI consortium. Moisture value Burrata cheese was significantly higher than that before release. Moreover, a lower NaCl...
Water buffalo Mozzarella cheese is more appreciated in the summer, but milk production higher during wintertime, as water are seasonally polyoestrous animals. The aim of study reported this Research Communication was to evaluate effect reversing calving period on composition and quality traits. Ten batches cheeses produced summer winter periods were analysed for pH, colour, chemical composition. Seasonal differences observed yield (26·66% 25·61% summer), moisture content (66·54% 61·18%...
One of the most-used food contact materials is stainless steel (AISI 304L or AISI 316L), owing to its high mechanical strength, cleanability, and corrosion resistance. However, due presence minimal crevices, stainless-steel subject microbial contamination with consequent significant reverb on health industry costs lack effective reliability sanitizing agents procedures. In this study, we evaluated noncytotoxic effect an amorphous SiOxCyHz coating deposited disks performed a time-course...
Ultraprocessed foods represent a severe concern to human health due their direct link with metabolic diseases. Among these foods, mechanically separated meat‐based products are of particular interest the use preservatives and possible presence antibiotic residues free or bound animals’ bone fragments. To demonstrate potential harmfulness substances, 28 samples commercially available würstels different suppliers, price category, package size, produced chicken turkey meat were randomly...
