This article describes the optimisation of the histological procedure for the analysis of bone tissue in meat products as evidence of mechanically separated meat (MSM). The results of the analysis of ten products show differences in the interpretation of results between the method of determining the number of bone fragments on ten sections and the … [Read more…]
This work aimed to verify the conformity between the detection of soya protein using the immunofluorescence method and the manufacturer’s declaration of the presence of soya protein in frankfurters purchased from the retail network. Thirty-two samples were tested. These samples were selected with a view to the presence of soya protein declared by the producer … [Read more…]
This work deals with the microscopic characterisation of amaranth seed and amaranth flour in model meat products using histochemical methods. Amaranth is used as an additive in meat products. Grit made of crude amaranth seeds had a positive effect on water-holding capacity of stuffing and allowed a reduction to cooking losses in cans. This improved … [Read more…]
