    The invetigation has shown that nitrites used in salarme Milano processing have a determinant antioxidant effect which is demonstrated by a decrease of TBARS values and of cholesterol oxides. The importance of such a finding in relation with humal health is discussed

    Antioxidants and oxidative processes of lipids and cholesterol in a dry fermented meat product (salame Milano)

    No full text
    The research, of which some preliminary results are here presented, was intended to clarify the antioxidant role of nitrates and nitrites used in combination with or without ascorbic acid, in relation with lipid oxidative processes in a dry fermented meat product. Lipid oxidation would be looked at in a comprehensive way covering the rancidity (TBARS), the flavour (aldehydes) and the toxic (cholesterol oxides) aspects. Only part of the results dealing with TBARS and cholesterol oxides are reported

    Effetto dell'esposizione alla luce sulla stabilità dei lipidi e del colore in salami di tipo mediterraneo e nord europeo

    The study has been performed to characterise lipid and colour stability of Mediterranean and North Europe type sausages vacuum packed and exposed to fluorescent light. Significant differences in fatty acids oxidative stability have been observed between different formulations of the same type of sausage. Southern and Northern type sausages did not differ significantly in cholesterol oxidation products. Colour stability appeared to be higher in Mediterranean sausages compared with the North Europe ones

    Volatile compounds released during ripening in Italian dried sausage

    A commercial production was analysed at six stages during ripening. Water content, pH and bacterial counts were followed, and volatile compounds from sausages were extracted by dynamic headspace sampling and analysed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Total concentrations of all classes increased during ripening. Pepper compound concentrations peaked in the middle of the ripening period. Lipid oxidation products increased especially towards the end of ripening, in particular, the compounds 2- heptanol, 1-octen-3-ol, 2-heptanone and 2-nonanone. Surface moulds probably caused 4-heptanone to appear late in the proces- sing. Benzeneacetaldehyde was absent in fresh mince, but increased to become one of the most abundant volatiles. Compounds from carbohydrate catabolism disappeared during the processing

    Calorific value and cholesterol content of normal and low-fat meat and meat products

    No full text
    This review deals with the topic of fat and cholesterol intakes derived from the consumption of meat and meat products and the impact that the development of low-fat products might have. The relationship between fat and cholesterol intake and blood cholesterol levels are discussed in the light of the most recent findings

    Volatile compounds during ripening in Italian dried sausage

    The purpose of the present work was to increase the knowledge of evolution of volatiles. Hereby evidence of changes occurring in real sausages is provided which in it self gives rise to new discussions of e.g. origins, but can also serve as yardstick when evaluating the degree of relevance of studies of model sausages or microorganisms in petri dishes

    Lipid and colour stability of Milano-type sausages: effect of packing conditions

    No full text
    Lipid and colour oxidative changes in Milano-type fermented sausages were studied in relation to packing conditions and extended storage under fluorescent light. Matured sausages were sliced and packed under vacuum or in protective atmosphere (100% N2) and exposed in a display cabinet to mimic commercial conditions of light and temperature for 2 months. Lipid oxidation was measured by the determination of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and cholesterol oxidation products (COP), whereas the oxidation of nitrosylmyoglobin was evaluated by a trained sensory panel. Lipid oxidation and discolouration were positively related in vacuum-packed sausages: TBARS and COP values increased significantly concurrently with increasing brown scores. Protective atmosphere came out to be more efficient than vacuum in controlling fatty acid oxidation and, to a lesser extent, cholesterol and pigment degradation: TBARS values remained constant during the whole storage period whereas cholesterol oxides and brown colour scores gradually increased but remained lower than those of vacuum-packed sausages. Higher residual oxygen in vacuum packing could be responsible for the observed differences in oxidative stability. # 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved

    Effect of light exposure on lipid and colour stability of Southern and Northern European type of sausages

    No full text
    European fermented sausages can be roughly classified into two types: the Mediterranean or Southern European type, generally characterized by long maturing times, slow pH fall, pH of matured products higher than 5; and the Northern European type, characterized by fast pH fall, final pH lower than 5, smoking and shorter maturing times. Such a general classification does not account for the wide number of different production technologies frequently linked to traditional and local recipes. The use of raw materials and microbial starters of different origins, different ingredients and additives has produced a variety of fermented sausages presenting a considerable challenge to standardization and management of safety and quality. In particular, lipid and pigment oxidation is dependent on many factors involved with processing procedures. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the presence or absence and of the amount of pro- and antioxidant systems on the nutritional and sensory aspects of matured sausages
