Purpose: The inspection of animal products is important for controlling parasitic zoonoses. Some processes that guarantee food safety to consumers such as carcass condemnation cause economic losses. This study aimed to detect Sarcocystis cysts in cattle hearts obtained from slaughterhouses and to...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are a group of lipophilic compounds that can be generated during the preparation of food items at elevated temperatures. They are regarded as potentially genotoxic and carcinogenic to human beings, related to increased incidence of breast and colorectal cancers,...

The presence of some drugs in meat samples can cause threat to human health, therefore, its analysis is highly desirable for food safety purposes. In this work, a solid-phase extraction procedure for the determination of oxprenolol, a non-selective beta-blocker, and such anabolic agents as...

Fat is an important flavoring substance in food, especially meat products. But meat products contain a large amount of saturated fat, and excessive intake will pose a threat to human health. With the improvement of dietary safety and health awareness, the intake of saturated fat and trans-fat has...

In sodium-reduced meat products, phosphates are also used to enhance product quality. To reduce the use of sodium pyrophosphate (SPP), effects of two pea protein isolates modified by ultrasonication (U-PPI) or pH₁₂-shifting (pH-PPI) on the gelling and rheological properties of myofibrillar protein...

Chitosan based bioactive films incorporated with catechin (CH), quercetin (QDH) and luteolin (LU) at 1, 3, 5 and 10% (w/w of chitosan) were prepared and their biological properties were evaluated. Additionally, the ability of the composite films to improve the shelf life and quality of beef was...

Chloramphenicol (CAF) is a broad- spectrum antibiotic, originally obtained from the bacterium Strepomyces venezuelae that in the past was widely used to treat infection in both humans and animals. In veterinary medicine, CAF is not authorized for the use in food-producing animals (pigs, poultry,...

The history of the epidemiology, prevalence, diagnosis, prevention and control of Mycobacterium bovis tuberculosis in cattle in Czechoslovakia beginning from 1897 are described. The knowledge will be useful for current control programmes and prevention of human disease due to consumption of beef...

Food adulteration is a serious problem all over the world. Establishing an accurate, sensitive and fast detection method is an important part of identifying food adulteration. Herein, a sequence-specific ladder-shape melting temperature isothermal amplification (LMTIA) assay was reported to detect...

Over use of lincomycin (LIN) as antibiotic in animals can lead to multiple harmful impacts to public health, thus detection of LIN at trace level in milk and chicken sample matrixes is vital. In this work, Zinc phthalocyanine nanoparticles sensitized MoS₂ (ZnPc/MoS₂) was firstly developed as a...
