A new antioxidant active packaging material for food has been designed and developed, consisting of a polypropylene film in which some natural antioxidants have been immobilized. The antioxidant properties of the new material have been tested by using both pure myoglobin and fresh beef steaks. Two different cell configurations (glass vial and Petri dish) and four different myoglobin concentrations-according to the common content of this compound in fresh meat and meat derivatives (1080, 1995, 3332, and 4414 microg g(-1), respectively)-have been evaluated in oxidation studies. Furthermore, three different concentrations of natural antioxidants in the film (designated as PR1, PR2, and PR3) were evaluated. Once myoglobin samples and the active films were introduced in the cell, they were exposed to cool white fluorescent light to accelerate oxidation for a period of time ranging from 5 to 30 days. Remaining myoglobin concentration was measured by molecular absorption UV-vis spectrophotometry at 409 nm. Organoleptic properties and color, texture, and physical characteristics of fresh meat packaged with the new active film have also been measured to evaluate the shelf life of the packaged meat. Results showed that, compared to normal polypropylene, the active film containing natural antioxidants efficiently enhanced the stability of both myoglobin and fresh meat against oxidation processes, thus being a promising way to extend the shelf life of fresh meat.  相似文献

Clubroot, caused by the protozoan parasite Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin, is one of the most damaging diseases of Brassica napus worldwide. Resistant plant material is valuable for cultivation in all areas of high incidence of the disease and intensive growth of oilseed rape. We have evaluated clubroot resistance, plant morphology and seed quality in 15 lines of an F₄ generation and selected six lines of F₅ generation of interspecific hybrids obtained from a cross between a male sterile line of B. napus ‘MS8’, selected from resynthesized oilseed rape (B. rapa ssp. chinensis × B. oleracea var. gemmifera) and an ecotype of B. rapa ssp. pekinensis. Clubroot resistance was evaluated using a bioassay with P₁-P₅ pathotypes of P. brassicae (according to the classification of Somé et al. 1996). The resistance to the pathotype P₁ was successfully fixed in the F₅ generation, and improved in some lines in respect to the pathotypes P₂-P₄. The resistance to P₁ and the other tested pathotypes was not linked. Characterization of plant material included recent techniques of FISH and BAC-FISH with a special focus on the analysis of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) of selected individuals. Two hybrid lines combined high levels of resistance with appropriate plant morphology, good seed quality traits and a stable chromosome number and arrangement. Recent techniques of ‘chromosome painting’ provided good insight into chromosome organization in the hybrids obtained, and offered opportunities of further improvement of the breeding process.  相似文献

Aging is the irreversible change of mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of materials; the main objective of this work was to study the photochemical degradation and structural changes of three major Algerian wood species. For this, we evaluated the photodegradation mechanism for Maritime Pine (Pinus pinaster), zeen oak (Quercus canariensis), and afares oak (Quercus afares) by accelerated aging in a Xenon test chamber. Degradation of the samples was established by an initial color change (after 30 h exposure), followed by roughening and cracking (120 h exposure) as translated by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The discoloration of irradiated wood samples was primarily related to the decomposition of lignin which is the key structure in wood photodegradation. As expected, a decrease in mechanical properties was observed; for all samples, the modulus of elasticity decreased after aging, indicating that the wood specimens loss some of their stiffness.  相似文献
