Impact of Bacterial Nanocellulose on the Rheological and Textural Characteristics of Low-Lipid Meat Emulsions
No full textReplacement of animal fat by vegetable or marine oils have been proposed to improve the fatty acid profile of meat emulsions. However, this replacement affects physicochemical and textural characteristics of these products, and the extent of the changes depends on the polysaccharides and non-meat proteins included in the formulation. In this chapter a novel application of bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) to low-fat meat emulsions formulated with high-oleic sunflower oil is discussed, analyzing the effect of BNC on proximate composition, process yield, color, texture, and rheological characteristics. Rheological temperature sweep curves showed a typical behavior of thermal gelation of meat systems where the main component corresponds to myosin denaturation. Formulations containing BNC showed higher elastic moduli, reflecting the formation of an important three-dimensional network with more solid-like characteristics than the BNC-free control with oil. Addition of BNC produced systems with adequate quality and physicochemical characteristics, similar to traditional sausages formulated with animal fat.Fil: Marchetti, Lucas.

Nanotechnology in Microbial Food Safety
No full textResearch and development on food nanotechnology applications is rapidly growing, and it is becoming an increasingly important field worldwide. Many of the recent innovations in the global food and beverage industry are related to nanotechnology and have already been successfully utilized on a commercial scale in food processing, production, and packaging including automation. From a microbiological perspective, nanotechnology-based approaches can be applied to enhance the food quality and safety and such applications include but are not limited to the use of nanopackaging materials that improve product storage stability. Nanocomponents with antimicrobial properties that inhibit the growth of pathogenic microbes and activities of spoilage and the detection of food-borne pathogens, such as Salmonella, Escherichia coli, and Listeria monocytogenes using nanosensors and nanomaterial-based assays have been developed. This chapter focuses on the recent advances and future trends in nanotechnology with special reference to microbiological applications in enhancing food quality and safety. Although nanotechnology may hold great promise to improve the quality and microbial safety of foods, there are concerns related to the potential uncertainty of toxicological effects, health risks, and environmental impact of such application

Russia’s classical alter ego, 1963-2016: classical reception in the poetry of Elena Shvarts, Il’ia Kutik, and Polina Barskova
Get PDFClassical reception, suppressed under Stalin, returned to Soviet poetry during the
Thaw (c. 1953-63), and through the many political upheavals of the late twentieth
century it has remained a prominent trend in contemporary Russian poetry. This
thesis explores classical reception in the oeuvres of Elena Shvarts, Il’ia Kutik, and
Polina Barskova, whose poetry spans from 1963 to the present. They form part of –
and serve as case studies for – the wider trend of late- and post-Soviet poetic
engagement with classical antiquity. This phenomenon has been studied in the cases
of Thaw poets Iosif Brodskii and, to a lesser extent, Aleksandr Kushner, but
investigations have not extended beyond these figures to the succeeding Stagnation
and post-Soviet poets.
Shvarts, Kutik, and Barskova come from different generations and different poetic
schools, and have very different poetic styles. They share a sustained and playful
engagement with the literature and history of Ancient Greece and Rome, which is
often in dialogue with earlier Russian receptions of classical antiquity. Their classical
reception is frequently intended to ‘estrange’ Soviet/Russian contexts, thus making
antiquity an ‘alter ego’ of Russia. This objective is facilitated – and inspired – by the
Russian literary tradition. Since its inception Russian literature has set classical
antiquity before itself as a model, imitating its literary forms and emulating its
characters. This long-standing analogy between Russia and the classical world
underpins Shvarts, Kutik, and Barskova’s evocations of classical antiquity as
Russia’s alter ego. The utility of the classical alter ego lies precisely in its alterity: as
well as a vehicle for veiled dissidence, as with Aesopian speech, it can be a more
extreme, or fun, or ideal reality.
Inherent in Shvarts, Kutik, and Barskova’s recourse to classical reception as alter ego
is a desire to connect with Europe, from which Russians were palpably divided for
much of the twentieth century – the Mandel’shtamian ‘yearning for world culture’. It
stems also from their desire to connect with pre-Soviet (classically receptive)
Russian literature. The thesis begins with a history of classical reception in Russian
literature from Russia’s first contact with the classical world up to the present. Such
a history is crucial to understanding contemporary poets’ classical reception, as so
many of their references to classical antiquity are refracted through Russian
intertexts.
The chapters on Shvarts, Kutik, and Barskova examine the entire oeuvre (to date) of
each poet, selecting key poems and themes for close analysis. This is conducted
alongside the intertexts (quotations from classical texts are given in English only,
except where the original language has demonstrably informed reception). As well as
literary contexts, historical and personal contexts are considered. Interviews
conducted by the author with both living poets (Kutik and Barskova) inform the
analysis.
This thesis contends that the pervasive classical reception evident in Russian poetry
from 1953 to the present responds to the series of ontological crises Russia was
precipitated into by the upheavals of the twentieth century. With the loosening of
Socialist Realism’s control over literature after Stalin, Russian poets resume Russia’s
poetic tradition of using classical antiquity as an alter ego, both to heighten
portrayals of Russia, and to imagine another, alternate, Russia
Resilient Russian Women in the 1920s & 1930s
Get PDFThe stories of Russian educated women, peasants, prisoners, workers, wives, and mothers of the 1920s and 1930s show how work, marriage, family, religion, and even patriotism helped sustain them during harsh times.
The Russian Revolution launched an economic and social upheaval that released peasant women from the control of traditional extended families. It promised urban women equality and created opportunities for employment and higher education. Yet, the revolution did little to eliminate Russian patriarchal culture, which continued to undermine women’s social, sexual, economic, and political conditions. Divorce and abortion became more widespread, but birth control remained limited, and sexual liberation meant greater freedom for men than for women. The transformations that women needed to gain true equality were postponed by the poverty of the new state and the political agendas of leaders like Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin.
The defunct economy and widespread famine, disease, and misery of the 1920s and the policies of collectivization and terror of the 1930s make those decades dark periods in Russian history, as Bolshevik male-dominated work culture triumphed and women’s needs and voices were ultimately silenced. When Russian society chooses to revisit those times, it will find in the remarkable poetry and prose of these resilient women plentiful evidence of the everyday horrors, struggles, and disappointments the people endured.

Remarkable Russian Women in Pictures, Prose and Poetry
Get PDFMany Russian women of the late 19th and early 20th centuries tried to find happy marriages, authentic religious life, liberal education, and fulfilling work as artists, doctors, teachers, and political activists. Some very remarkable ones found these things in varying degrees, while others sought unsuccessfully but no less desperately to transcend the generations-old restrictions imposed by church, state, village, class, and gender.
Like a Slavic “Downton Abbey,” this book tells the stories, not just of their outward lives, but of their hearts and minds, their voices and dreams, their amazing accomplishments against overwhelming odds, and their roles as feminists and avant-gardists in shaping modern Russia and, indeed, the twentieth century in the West. It covers poets and writers such as Evdokiia Rostopchina, Nina Berberova, Nadezhda Sokhanskay, Karolina Pavlova, Elena Gan, Nadezhda Khvoshchinskaya, Anastasia Verbitskaya, Anna Akhamatova, Maria Tsvetaeva, Mirra Lokhvitskaya, Olga Freidenberg; free-thinkers like Zinaida Gippius, Elena Blavatsky; diarists and memoirists like Countess Sofia and Tatiana Tolstoya, Anna Dostoevsky, Nadezhda Durova, Agrippina Korevanova, Ludmila Stahl, Elena Skrjabina; artists Natalya Goncharova, Anna O. Lebedeva, Zinaida Serebriakova, Olga Rozanova, Varvara Stepanova, Liubov Popova, and Aleksandra Ekster; adventuresses (military or sexual) Maria Botchkareva, Natalia Sheremetevskaya, Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna; doctors Anna Bek and Vera Figner; revolutionaries and reformers like Nadezhda Krupskaya, Cecilia Bobrovskaya, Vera Broido, Alexandra Kollontai, Catherine Breshkovsky, Konkordia Samoilova, Maria Golubeva, Tatyana Ludvinskaya, and Cecilia Bobrovskaya.
In their own words and images, and each in their own unique way, these remarkable Russian women construct a fascinating tapestry of a culture at the crossroads of modernity and on the brink of catastrophe—a thrilling tour of an age when everything seemed possible and none could truly imagine what lay in store.
