The purpose of the research was to determine the effect of diversified nitrogen fertilization (0, 25 and 50 kg·ha-1) on selected properties of grains, malts and brewing worts. Brewing value of barley grain was determined by Molina-Cano method. It was stated that the higher doses of nitrogen caused an increase of yield, as a result of stronger productive tillering of plants. Significant growth of grain...
Addition of natural antioxidants is one of the ways to extend the durability of meat and meat products. The effects of added pepper extracts on the colour and potential redox changes of beef patties during storage were studied. There were four types of ethanol based extracts of two types of pepper (sweet and hot), compacted at different temperatures: 35 and 50°C. Experimental material consisted of...
Electrophoretic methods can be used to identify meat of various animal species. The protein electrophoresis, especially the IEF of the sarcoplasmic proteins, is a wellestablished technique for species identification of raw fish and is used in the control of seafood authenticity. However, in the case of the analysis of heat-processed fish, the method is applicable only to those species which possess...
The ability to in vitro cholesterol level reduction in laboratory media has been shown for numerous strains of lactic acid bacteria, but not for all strains of lactic bacteria used in the dairy industry. The aim of this work was the determination of the ability of selected thermophilic lactic acid bacteria to cholesterol assimilation during 24 h culture in MRS broth. Commercial starter cultures showed...
The aim of the research was to study the influence of the pullulan and pullulan- -protein edible coatings on the reduction of the apples mass loss during the storage. The research was carried out on pullulan received from A. pullulans white mutant B-1 in a batch cultivation process and the ‘Malinova’ and ‘Champion’ apples. In the first stage of the research the apples were covered with 15% and 20%...
Investigations were carried out into the capacity of waste brewery yeast Saccharomyces uvarum for biosorption of magnesium originated from a solution of dehydrated salt of magnesium chloride, depending on the number of cells and diferent pH of the suspension during 6 hours. The concentration of MgCl2·6H2O in the solution was adjusted so as to maintain a stable content of magnesium as expressed per...
The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of the type of solvent and time on efficiency of the extraction of polyphenols and antioxidant properties extracts obtained from green tea. Extraction was conducted at room temperature using four solvents: water and 80% ethanol, 80% methanol and 80% acetone (water solutions, v/v) at 15, 30 and 60 minutes. Extracts were analysed for contents of...
It is possible to obtain malt beverage, which includes high number of viable lactic acid bacteria and has a good sensor quality for eight weeks of storage at the temperature of 22°C. L. plantarum ATCC 4080 strain after four weeks of storage did not reveal antagonistic activity against spoilage and pathogenic bacteria. This strain after two, six and eight weeks of storage had antagonistic properties...
In the article the results of a research carried out in 2005 on the sample of 134 respondents are presented. The results of the research indicate that young consumers are very active on the food market. Teenagers derive their knowledge about nutrition mainly from their family home but also from school as well as from books and literature publications. Together with age the range of participation of...
The research examined green tea ethanol extract, subjected to different purification processes with use of active carbon, bleaching earth, and mixture of acetone, acetic acid, water, with or without earlier hexane treatment. Purified extracts were examined according to total polyphenols content, antioxidant activity in linoleic acid emulsion and antiradical activity in DPPH• radical scavenging method...
The aim of this study was the determination of some factors influence (i.e. the vitality of bacteria cells and the cholesterol concentration) on the ability of selected Lactobacillus sp. to cholesterol uptake during culture in MRS broth. Three Lactobacillus strains (Lb. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, Lb. acidophilus, Lb. casei) isolated from commercial single species lyophilized dairy starter cultures...
According to the Commission Recommendation 20005/108/EC further analyses of 15 genotoxic PAHs (listed by The Scientific Committee on Food) in food are necessary. The objective of this research was to study contamination of canned smoked fish products in oil by these 15 PAHs. The material investigated were canned smoked sprats in oil available in Warsaw agglomeration. Both oils from canned food and...
The aim of the study was to determine the effect of pasteurization and storage conditions of black chokeberry juice concentrate solutions on their antioxidant activity. The study investigated the effect of solution pH (3-5), temperature (10-30°C) and storage time (0-20 days), as well as oxygen availability. Solutions were obtained by diluting concentrate with buffers according to McIlvaine to anthocyanin...
In order to ensure the appropriate food safety and health of consumers, suitable legal requirements and new quality standards are constantly being elaborated. The free trade exchange within the European Union made it necessary to unify food legislation and quality standards within the entire area of the EU. This publication outlines appropriate systems and standards functioning in the food industry...
This paper attempts to find out if the education of female students of a secondary school of catering has had any effect on the improvement of their diets. The research shows that the diets of first-grade students provides the recommended dietary allowance for energy and nutrients to a greater, yet still insufficient extent than the diets of higher grade students. The results of the statistical analysis...
The aim of the work was the estimation of HPLC and GC/MS methods usefulness for the quantitative determination of phenylalanine in low protein cereal products (LPP). LPP products from two different producers (A and B), and related traditional products were investigated. The protein content was analysed with Kiejdahl method and the phenylalanine concentration was measured with high performance liquid...
The market of functional foods and beverages develops dynamically. Biological activities of many food components which occur naturally become an issue of many scientific and industrial interests. The structural and chemical changes occurring during the proteins processing lead to the release of bioactive peptides. Their multifunctional activity is based on their structure and other factors including...
Although there are numerous methods for quantitative determination of antioxidative vitamins: C, E, and A, there are no methods favourable for the broadly understood analytic practice – they have various faults and limitations or require expensive apparatus. Therefore, we have elaborated modifications of valuable spectrophotometric methods for determination each of those vitamins, which originally...
Reactive oxygen species are postulated to be involved in systemic inflammation and oxidative stress in patients with obesity. Activated polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) generate extremely high amounts of reactive oxygen species, but these are normally targeted at pathogens inside intracellular phagosomes. The same beneficial antimicrobial functions, if not controlled, contribute to the tissue...
Soybean daddawa is a popular condiment made by fermenting dehulled seeds of soybean (Glycine max); it is commonly used in soups in the soybean growing areas of Nigeria. Soybean daddawa prepared using three different processing methods (traditionally fermented seeds, seeds fermented with salt (NaCl) and seeds fermented with starter cultures) was evaluated for biochemical changes in ambient storage...
