Pale, soft, exudative (PSE), dark cutting, and normal colored pork were compared to determine differences in susceptibility to microbial growth. Chops were packaged and stored under simulated retail conditions. Color, marbling, pH, numbers of total aerobic mesophiles, psychrotrophs, proteolytic and lipolytic bacteria and fluorescent Pseudomonas and incidence of Salm&ella and coagulase positive Staphylococcus were recorded for pork chops as storage time progressed. Data were statistically analyzed. Differences in pH between PSE and normal chops, after aging, were significant, and dark chops had significantly higher pH values than normal chops. Development of microorganisms during storage was influenced by pH. Most rapid growth of organisms occurred on dark meat and slowest bacterial growth on PSE pork, although exudative conditions of the latter provided the highest expressible juice. pH of the meat also seemed to have a selective action on the microflora. Marbling of the meat did not influence growth of lipslytic bacteria. Relevance of various stages of processing as sources of contamination for the meat is discussed.
A B S T R A C T Ecotypes of the native Spanish species Lupinus hispanicus were analysed for seed nutrient composition. Comparisons were made between the two subspecies (ssp hispanicus (Boiss et Reut) and ssp bicolor (Merino)). OtherLupinus species were also analysed. The seed protein content of Lupinus hispanicus is fairly high (420 g k g - '), and the tryptophan content is higher than that of other species
OCT can play an important role in the diagnosis and measurement of eccentric fixation in eyes with microtropia, providing high sensitivity. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2018;55(3):171-177.].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
