The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of feeding Pelibuey sheep on diet supplemented with different doses of organic selenium (Se)-enriched yeast on carcasses microbiological contamination and meat physical characteristics. The experiment was conducted during the finishing stage of 18 female sheep and lasted for 60 days. In a complete randomized design, sheep were distributed to one of three treatments: the control without Se-yeast (T1), the control supplemented with Se-yeast at 0.35 mg Se/kg DM (T2), and control supplemented with Se-yeast at 0.60 mg Se/kg DM (T3). The yeast product used was Selyeast 3000 TM yeast (LFA Lesaffre, Toluca, Mexico) with a Se concentration of 3000 ppm (mg/kg). Lambs were slaughtered at the end of the experiment at an average weight of 39.5±4.41 kg and samples were taken for microbiological analysis. There were no differences between treatments (P>0.05) and the aerobic plate counts for T1, T2 and T3 had indexes of 0.10, 0.08 and 0.08 log10 CFU/cm 2 , respectively. Total coliform counts obtained were 0.13, 0.10 and 0.09 log10 CFU/cm 2 for T1, T2 and T3, respectively, and the faecal coliform counts were 0.09 log10 CFU/cm 2 for T1, 0.06 log10 CFU/cm 2 for T2 and 0.07 log10 CFU/cm 2 for T3. No significant effects (P>0.05) were observed for carcasses physical characteristics of microbial growth, initial and ultimate pH and temperature, colour values and water holding capacity. It can therefore be concluded that organic Se-enriched yeast did not affect carcasses bacterial proliferation or meat physical characteristics.
Las harinas de grano entero de trigo (HGET) son fuente de fibra, antioxidantes, vitaminas, fitoquímicos y nutrientes y podrían suplir la creciente demanda de la industria panadera de trigos con alta calidad. El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la calidad panadera de HGET de las variedades Cal Blanco F2011 (HCB); Mattchet F2011 (HM) y RSM-Norman F2008 (HN) cultivadas en México en otoño-inverno 2014 a 2016, mediante pruebas convencionales y una no convencional (consiste en la medición del volumen de fermentación de cada muestra de harina). Se realizaron determinaciones bromatológicas, reológicas, de calidad panadera por triplicado. Se realizó un ANDEVA, prueba por DMS (p<0,05) y un análisis de correlación. La HCB tiene mayor proteína (14,33%) que las testigos. Todas las harinas tienen tiempos de amasado favorables para buen volumen de pan, con buena fermentación y extensibilidad. Por lo anterior, las tres HGET experimentales resultaron ser competitivas a las harinas comerciales, pero HCB fue superior en casi todas las pruebas. La HM y HN, son similares a la HI en VOP, VOE y HAL volviéndolas comparables en calidad panadera. El pHf de HM y HCB es igual, pero en panificación la última es de mejor calidad haciéndola superior a las harinas integrales evaluadas. Se recomienda estudiar más la prueba de fermentación por la correlación con factores importantes en la diversas pruebas de calidad, esto con el fin de identificar si es factible o no su uso al evaluar la calidad de las harinas.
