Background: Liquid smokes treatment eliminated most problems associated to the traditional method, besides providing uniformity of flavour and colour in meat products. Objective: This work evaluate the effects of liquid smoke treatment in the oxidative stability and content benzo(a)pyrenes, compared to the traditional smoking treatment in Sausage type Calabrese. Methods: Samples treated with liquid smoke were evaluated every 7 days, during 28 days of storage at 20°C. Results: High lipid oxidation was observed in runs increased by liquid smoke dilution (1:3) at 28 days of storage. The product was characterized as moderately rancid, with malonaldehyde values of 0.44 mgMA.kg-1. Concentrations of benzo(a)pyrenes in sausages with liquid and traditional smoke treatment were less than 0.12 and 0.19 μg.kg-1, respectively. Conclusion: In this way, the use of liquid and traditional smoke with temperature control ~300°C for a smoke generation are promising and safe approaches for obtaining low levels of benzo(a)pyrenes, lipids and protein oxidation in Sausage type Calabrese.

ResumoO Salame Tipo Italiano produzido no Brasil é predominantemente obtido de carne suína, com maturação aproximada de 30 dias, atingindo pH em torno de 5,4. O uso das bactérias do gênero Lactobacillus como culturas iniciadoras propicia o processo de fermentação e a obtenção de produtos uniformes e seguros, com redução do tempo de maturação devido à rápida formação de ácido lático, obtendo-se melhores características sensoriais, químicas e microbiológicas. Os estafilococos coagulase-negativos (comumente em produtos cárneos fermentados Staphylococcus xylosus e S. carnosus) possuem vantagens tecnológicas, como atividade de nitrito e nitrato redutase, consumo de oxigênio e atividade de catalase que melhoram a estabilidade de cor e diminuem o desenvolvimento de rancidez no produto, além de contribuírem para a geração de sabor devido à capacidade proteolítica e lipolítica. Portanto, este trabalho objetivou estudar a influência de diferentes culturas starters (S. xylosus, S. carnosus, L. sakei e L. plantarum) combinadas com diferentes concentrações de substrato de glicose (40,5 e 99,5%) na fabricação do Salame Tipo Italiano, bem como a influência da concentração destes no desempenho das culturas starters. Durante o processamento e shelf life, os salames foram avaliados quanto às características físico-químicas, microbiológicas e sensoriais. Em todas as amostras de Salame Tipo Italiano houve comportamento similar em relação aos parâmetros físico-químicos (umidade, proteína e gordura). Não houve crescimento de micro-organismos indesejáveis nas amostras analisadas após 60 dias de shelf life. Na análise sensorial, a amostra com menor concentração de substrato (40,5%), utilizando as culturas S. carnosus e L. sakei, foi a que recebeu as melhores notas e melhor aceitação pelos degustadores, além de apresentar valores de nitritos e nitratos de acordo com a legislação.

AbstractThe Italian-Type Sausage produced in Brazil is predominantly obtained from swine meat, with 2 VEDOVATTO, E. et al.Cienc. anim. bras., Goiânia, v.20, 1-24, e-47777, 2019 maturation approximately 30 days, reaching pH around 5.3. The use of Lactobacillus bacteria as starter cultures provide fermentation processes and products more uniform and safe, reducing the maturation time due to the rapid formation of lactic acid, obtaining products with better sensorial, chemical and microbiological characteristics. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (commonly in S. xylosus and S. carnosus fermented meat products) have technological advantages such as nitrite and nitrate redutase activity, oxygen uptake and catalase activity that improve color stability and decrease the development of rancidity in the skin, contribute to the generation of flavor due to the proteolytic and lipolytic capacity. This work aimed to study the influence of different starters cultures (S. xylosus, S. carnosus, L. sakei and L. plantar...

PurposeThe objective of this study was to elaborate and characterize formulations of type mortadella bologna in an industrial unit.Design/methodology/approachTwo formulations (Formulation 1 – F1 and Formulation 2 – F2) were characterized at a storage stability of 22 ºC for physicochemical (pH, aw, moisture, protein, fat and lipid oxidation: TBARs and peroxide index, nitrite/nitrate, texture and thermal analysis: TG), sensory (acceptability), microbiological (Clostridium reducing sulfite, Streptococcus, Salmonella sp., mesophilic and coliform thermosensitive) and histological (organization and tissue distribution) characteristics.FindingsIn relation to the water activity (aw), the formulation F2 presented a value of 0.925 as well as the lower TBARs (0.19 mg MDA/kg) and greater hardness (3945.47 gf), 85% acceptance index and greater mass loss by thermal analysis after 60 days of storage. The multivariate analysis showed that the hardness presents negative correlation in relation cohesiveness, resilience and aw. There is also a strong positive correlation of the cohesiveness in relation to the resilience and aw. In addition, moisture has a high positive correlation with TBARs, peroxide index, aw, L* and texture parameters (adhesiveness, cohesiveness and resilience).Originality/valueTherefore, the importance of the elaboration process of emulsified meat products was emphasized, aiming to add value and guarantee food safety, taking into account the current legal aspects.

SUMMARYThe objective of this work is to characterize two types of bovine collagen (fibre and powder), evaluating its application in mixed hamburger formulations, as well as the quality characteristics of the products. The collagen fibre had a fibrillar structure, molecular mass 100 kDa and greater gel strength (146 315 Pa) and protein content (97.81%) than the powdered collagen, which had molecular mass from 50 to 100 kDa, greater hydroxyproline content, and a morphological structure with spherical microparticles more amorphous than the collagen fibre. In this study we found that the addition of 1.5% powdered collagen and 2.5% flocculated soybean flour and/or 0.75% powdered collagen and 3.5% flocculated soybean flour did not deteriorate the technological properties or the sensory attributes of hamburgers. The use of collagen is a promising alternative, since it has functional properties, improves the texture characteristics of a product, and is of low cost.
