Forensic entomologists estimate the postmortem interval (PMI) based on larvae growth rate in surrounding temperature where dead body is found and within larval massing. This can be used to when initially colonised by blowfly’s size that commonly measured terms of length, weight width. The aim this research investigate relationship between massing development at three different environmental conditions. Chicken carcasses inserted with logger record were left locations. Another was placed near...

A study was undertaken to compare and correlate the myofibril fragmentation index (MFI) of fresh buffalo longissimus steaks with Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) subjective measurement overall tenderness suggest suitability MFI as a predictor cooked meat tenderness. The revealed significant positive correlation (P < 0.01) between WBSF from day 1 8. mean coefficients (r2) were 0.61 0.73, respectively. This indicates that could be used an objective method evaluation it is strongly correlated...

The fed a basal diet (T1), + 0.1 cent (BFP) (T2), 0.2 BFP (T3), 0.01 L. plantarum (1 × 109 CFU/Kg diet) (T4), (T5), (T6), respectively. All as BIS...

Meat-based snacks enhanced with finger millet provide a healthy and creative option for convenient, readyto- eat food. This study examines chicken meat biscuits formulated varying levels of flour, replacing refined wheat flour by 20% (T1), 30% (T2) 40% (T3) to enhance nutritional content. Significant differences (p&lt;0.01) were found in cooking yields pH among the groups, T3 achieving highest yield. Water activity complied FSSAI standards, control at 0.55 T1 0.405. Lightness (L*), redness...
