Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde der Einfluss der nichtenzymatischen Glykosylierung auf das Denaturierungsverhalten und die funktionellen Eigenschaften von Molkenproteinen, hier im speziellen die emulgierenden Eigenschaften, untersucht. Nach einer Bestimmung technologisch relevante Glykosylierungsgrade sollten in unterschiedlich glykosylierten Molkenproteinpräparaten das Denaturierungsverhalten sowie die Emulgiereigenschaften in Abhängigkeit vom Glykosylierungsgrad mit unterschiedlichen Methoden bestimmt werden. Der aus praktischer Sicht relevante Einfluss der Glykosylierung auf die sensorischen Eigenschaften wurde einerseits in Molkenproteinlösungen und andererseits in einem komplexen System (Modell-Schmelzkäsezubereitung) erfasst. Schließlich galt es, den Einfluss der Glykosylierung auf die Mikrostruktur und die Festigkeit am Beispiel der Modell- Schmelzkäsezubereitung zu untersuchen und daraus unmittelbare Konsequenzen für die technologische Praxis abzuleiten.

Nicht-funktionale Eigenschaften geben Aussagen über Qualitätsaspekte einer Software. Mit einer Software-Produktlinie (SPL) wird eine Menge von verwandten Software-Produkten beschrieben, die auf Basis gemeinsam genutzter Bausteine und Architekturen entwickelt werden, um die Anforderungen unterschiedlicher Kundengruppen zu erfüllen. Hierbei werden gezielt Software-Bestandteile wiederverwendet, um Software effizienter zu entwickeln. In dieser Arbeit wird der Einfluss von Eingabedaten auf die nicht-funktionalen Eigenschaften von SPL untersucht. Es wird auf Basis von Messungen ausgewählter nicht-funktionaler Eigenschaften einzelner Software-Produkte ein Vorhersagemodell für beliebige Software-Produkte der SPL erstellt. Das Vorhersagemodell kann genutzt werden, um den Konfigurationsprozess zu unterstützen. Das Verfahren wird anhand einer SPL von verlustfreien Kompressionsalgorithmen evaluiert. Die Berücksichtigung von Eingabedaten kann die Vorhersage von nicht-funktionalen Eigenschaften einer SPL gegenüber einfacheren Vorhersagemodellen ohne die Berücksichtigung von Eingabedaten signifikant verbessern.

Peanut, a major allergenic food, has life-threatening potential and is difficult to be totally avoided due to its common use in processed foods. Thermal processing can influence the allergenic properties of peanuts. However, the kinetics of the reactions caused by thermal processing has not been characterized. In our study, kinetics of the commonly used thermal processing methods on a commercial peanut cultivar (Virginia) using five time intervals was conducted. Water-soluble and SDS-sample buffer soluble proteins were extracted sequentially, and analyzed by sodium-dodecyl-sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and western-blot using human plasma containing IgE antibodies. The relationships between thermal processing (time) and log transformed water-soluble/total extractable major allergen content could be explained by a simple linear regression kinetic model for most of the processing methods (except high-pressure steaming). Among all the methods with optimal processing point, frying for 6 min had relatively lower IgE binding (linear epitopes) ratio may be due to the fact that this processing condition causing break down, cross-linking and aggregation of Ara h 2, and relatively lower solubility. Besides thermal processing, enzymatic processing also is considered to be an effective method in the allergenicity of peanuts. Eleven peanut lines (Coded MS-1~MS-11, MS-9 is the check and a common cultivar namely Valencia) were pre-screened from 122 peanut lines harvested in 2015 for allergen levels. These pre-screened lines were re-planted in 2016 for further analysis. One line, MS-7, was selected for lower Ara h 1 (8.5-9.5% of total protein) and Ara h 2 (4.2-6.6% of total protein) content in 2015 and 2016. Roasted MS-9 (check) peanut powders were used for enzymatic treatment for enzyme selection. A first order kinetic reaction model was conducted to describe the relationship between enzyme concentration (0-400AzU/g) and IgE-binding property reduction. Among eight food-grade enzymes, bromelain, papain and ficin hydrolysates had lower IgE-binding properties in terms of high IgE-binding property reducing rate (K, ≥ 0.4) and were selected for the following study. MS-7 (selected) & MS-9 (at level of 200AzU/g) hydrolyzed by three selected enzymes (200AzU/g) were used for IgE binding property comparison, TGase crosslinking and functional properties study. After hydrolyzed by the selected enzymes (200 AzU/g), the emulsion and foaming stabilities were decreased. Emulsion and foaming stabilities were increased in TGase (5U/g protein) crosslinked hydrolysates, which were even higher than soy protein isolate (SPI). The IgE-binding properties of TGase treated hydrolysates were similar to the hydrolysates without TGase treatment. MS-7 hydrolysates (with/without TGase) possessed less IgE-binding properties and similar functionality as compared with MS-9 hydrolysates.

A characteristic challenge of software development is the management of omnipresent change. Classically, this constant change is driven by customers changing their requirements. The wish to optimally leverage available resources opens another source of change: the software systems environment. Software is tailored to specific platforms (e.g., hardware architectures) resulting in many variants of the same software optimized for different environments. If the environment changes, a different variant is to be used, i.e., the system has to reconfigure to the variant optimized for the arisen situation. The automation of such adjustments is subject to the research community of self-adaptive systems. The basic principle is a control loop, as known from control theory. The system (and environment) is continuously monitored, the collected data is analyzed and decisions for or against a reconfiguration are computed and realized. Central problems in this field, which are addressed in this thesis, are the management of interdependencies between non-functional properties of the system, the handling of multiple criteria subject to decision making and the scalability. In this thesis, a novel approach to self-adaptive software--Multi-Quality Auto-Tuning (MQuAT)--is presented, which provides design and operation principles for software systems which automatically provide the best possible utility to the user while producing the least possible cost. For this purpose, a component model has been developed, enabling the software developer to design and implement self-optimizing software systems in a model-driven way. This component model allows for the specification of the structure as well as the behavior of the system and is capable of covering the runtime state of the system. The notion of quality contracts is utilized to cover the non-functional behavior and, especially, the dependencies between non-functional properties of the system. At runtime the component model covers the runtime state of the system. This runtime model is used in combination with the contracts to generate optimization problems in different formalisms (Integer Linear Programming (ILP), Pseudo-Boolean Optimization (PBO), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and Multi-Objective Integer Linear Programming (MOILP)). Standard solvers are applied to derive solutions to these problems, which represent reconfiguration decisions, if the identified configuration differs from the current. Each approach is empirically evaluated in terms of its scalability showing the feasibility of all approaches, except for ACO, the superiority of ILP over PBO and the limits of all approaches: 100 component types for ILP, 30 for PBO, 10 for ACO and 30 for 2-objective MOILP. In presence of more than two objective functions the MOILP approach is shown to be infeasible.

Commercial carrot processors produce up to 175,000 tons of carrot waste annually. Carrot Mash (CM) is the term referring to the waste by-product of peeled baby carrot processing. Transportation of carrot processing waste is expensive due to its high- water content (approx. 83-95%). High in bioactive compounds (carotenoids) and dietary fibers, it is expected that its conversion into a value-added by-product is of interest to the carrot processing industry. Hemicellulose-rich plant materials have proven to be a source of oligosaccharides, which are known for their beneficial prebiotic activity. The objectives of this research were to: 1) determine the effect of mechanical treatments on the extraction of water and bioactive compounds and evaluate the functional properties of carrot mash; 2) incorporate dried carrot mash into a beef patty and evaluate changes in pH, color, cooking yield, and texture; 3) apply an enzymatic treatment to carrot mash to promote the conversion of polysaccharides to oligosaccharides for prebiotic benefits. Mechanical separation of liquid and solid fractions by way of expeller pressing was efficient in extracting liquid while simultaneously increasing total solids by nearly 200%, the extraction of carotenoids by 1000%, and polyphenol content by nearly 97%. Mechanical treatments increased the fat binding capacity on average by 183% compared to untreated mash. The addition of unpressed carrot mash or expeller pressed carrot mash increased the cooking yield of a beef patty by 3-13% without significantly changing its textural properties. Enzymatically treating the carrot mash significantly increased the concentration of oligosaccharides up to 2.3%. These results suggest that carrot processing wastes can be physically and enzymatically modified and have an immense potential to be utilized as a functional ingredient in human food rather than being landfilled, composted or used as animal feed.

Valorisation of side-streams in food production has become an important booster for increased sustainability in food production. The objective of this work was to study and improve the functional properties of green coffee (GC) protein. Extraction of defatted GC meal by using PVPP slightly increased protein yield and significantly decreased the amount of covalently and non-covalently bound CQA, therefore decreasing the antioxidant activity of the meal. Peptic hydrolysis at pH 1.5 led to a significantly higher degree of hydrolysis (DH) than at pH 3. Sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) showed that the molecular weights of peptides of GC protein hydrolysates were in the range of 11–60 kDa, while peptides were in the range of 500–5000 Da using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectroscopy (MALDI-TOF MS). Additionally, the enzymatic hydrolysis significantly improved the antioxidant activity of the GC protein. Finally, the results suggest that enzymatic hydrolysis with pepsin is an effective technique to provide bioactive compounds. The works presented in our manuscript may help in further exploiting the potential use of green coffee beans for food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical industry.

Tesis por compendio / [ES] La presente tesis doctoral abarcó el desarrollo de un ingrediente a partir del subproducto de la industria citrícola. Se buscó obtener un ingrediente en polvo, con alto contenido de fibra soluble, que pudiera utilizarse en la formulación de productos. El trabajo se dividió en cuatro etapas. Tras la obtención del ingrediente por diferentes metodologías, en las primeras etapas se analizó su composición química y propiedades tecno funcionales. Posteriormente se realizó un ensayo de estabilidad del ingrediente tras su almacenamiento a diferentes actividades de agua. Finalmente, se evaluó la incorporación del ingrediente, como fuente de fibra, en la formulación de un flan; se estudió el efecto de la información sobre el origen de la fibra agregada en la respuesta del consumidor y el efecto de la incorporación de dicha fibra sobre las propiedades sensoriales del producto. Se ensayaron cuatro tecnologías no contaminantes para la extracción de fibra soluble: agua caliente, extrusión + agua caliente, jet cooker y jet cooker + agua caliente. El sobrenadante de la extracción se secó en "spray dryer" obteniendo un ingrediente en polvo. El contenido de fibra alimentaria de alto y bajo peso molecular fue analizado, junto con el contenido de azúcares simples y de compuestos bioactivos. El contenido de fibra total varió entre 10 y 20 gramos por 100 gramos de producto entre los tratamientos ensayados, siendo el proceso de extrusión + agua caliente el que mayor contenido de fibra presentó. Además, este tratamiento fue el que presentó menor contenido de azúcares y mayor contenido de compuestos bioactivos. En la segunda etapa se analizaron la capacidad espumante y estabilidad de la espuma, retención de aceite, solubilidad en agua, higroscopicidad, microestructura, temperatura de transición vítrea, color y reología de las soluciones. Se observaron diferentes grados de aglomeración en los polvos, que se relacionaron con la baja temperatura de transición vítrea de los ingredientes, fruto de sus componentes de bajo peso molecular. Aunque todas las soluciones formaron espumas, la del ingrediente obtenido por extrusión + agua caliente fue la más estable, lo que pudo deberse a su mayor viscosidad. En la tercera etapa se almacenaron los ingredientes obtenidos a diferentes actividades de agua durante 15 semanas, y una vez transcurrido el tiempo se modeló su isoterma de sorción. Además, se estudió la transición vítrea, junto con el contenido de compuestos bioactivos, color y textura. Los polvos no fueron estables en su estado inicial, debido al alto contenido de humedad que presentaban. Se observó pardeamiento a medida que aumenta la actividad de agua En la última etapa se evaluó la incorporación del ingrediente en la formulación de un flan. Se estudió el efecto de la información en la respuesta del consumidor y el efecto de su incorporación en las propiedades sensoriales. Se realizó una encuesta en España y Uruguay tomando como variables de estudio la intención de compra, y las percepciones de saludable y amigable con el medio ambiente. Se evaluaron tres categorías de producto diferentes (un producto listo para consumo, un polvo para preparar el postre en casa y un flan casero), variando la información ofrecida (origen de la fibra y un logo haciendo referencia a la sostenibilidad). El comportamiento de ambas poblaciones fue diferente en las tres variables de estudio, Para evaluar la incorporación del ingrediente en la formulación de un flan "fuente de fibra" (3% de contenido de fibra), se ensayaron diferentes porcentajes de sustitución de inulina (muestra control) del postre por el ingrediente de naranja obtenido a partir de la extrusión + agua caliente. La sustitución de un 30% del contenido total de fibra por el nuevo ingrediente logró un producto similar al control, sin descriptores de sabor no agradables y con una mejora en el brillo y la textura. / [CA] La investigació de la present tesi doctoral va abastar el desenvolupament d'un ingredient a partir del subproducte de la indústria citrícola. Es va buscar obtindre un ingredient en pols, amb alt contingut de fibra soluble, que poguera utilitzar-se en la formulació d'altres productes. Per a això el treball es va dividir en quatre etapes. Després de l'obtenció de l'ingredient per les diferents metodologies, en les primeres etapes es van analitzar la seua composició química i propietats tecno funcionals. Posteriorment es va feir un assaig d'estabilitat de l'ingredient després del seu emmagatzematge a diferents activitats d'aigua. Finalment, es va avaluar la incorporació de l'ingredient, com a font de fibra, en la formulació d'un flam; es va presentar l'efecte de la informació sobre l'origen de la fibra agregada en la resposta del consumidor i l'efecte de la incorporació d'aquesta fibra sobre les propietats sensorials del producte. Es van assajar quatre tecnologies no contaminants per a l'extracció de fibra soluble: aigua calenta, extrusió+aigua calenta, jet cooker i jet cooker+aigua calenta. El sobrenedant de l'extracció es va assecar en "spray dryer" obtenint un ingredient en pols. El contingut de fibra alimentària d'alt i baix pes molecular va ser analitzat juntament amb el contingut de sucres simples i de compostos bioactius. El contingut de fibra total va variar entre 10 i 20 grams per 100 grams de producte entre els tractaments assajats, sent el procés d'extrusió+aigua calenta el que major contingut de fibra va presentar. A més, aquest tractament va ser el que va presentar menor contingut de sucres i major contingut de compostos bioactius. En la segona etapa es van analitzar la capacitat espumant i estabilitat de l'espuma, retenció d'oli, solubilitat en aigua, higroscopicitat, microestructura, temperatura de transició vítria, color i reologia de les solucions. Es van observar diferents graus d'aglomeració en les pólvores, que es van relacionar amb la baixa temperatura de transició vítria dels ingredients, fruit dels seus components de baix pes molecular. Tot i que totes les solucions van a formar espumes, la de l'ingredient obtingut per extrusió+aigua calenta va ser la més estable, la qual cosa va poder deure's a la seua major viscositat. En la tercera etapa es van emmagatzemar els ingredients obtinguts a diferents activitats d'aigua durant 15 setmanes, i una vegada transcorregut el temps es va modelar la seua isoterma de sorció. A més, es va estudiar la transició vítria, juntament amb el contingut de compostos bioactius, color i textura. Les pólvores no van ser estables en el seu estat inicial, a causa de l'alt contingut d'humitat que presentaven. Es va observar pardejament a mesura que augmenta l'activitat d'aigua. En l'última etapa es va avaluar la incorporació de l'ingredient en la formulació d'un flam. Es va estudiar l'efecte d'informació sobre l'ingredient en la resposta del consumidor i l'efecte de la seua incorporació en les propietats sensorials. Es va fer una enquesta a Espanya i l'Uruguai prenent com a variables d'estudi la intenció de compra, i la percepció de saludable i amigable amb el medi ambient. Es van avaluar tres categories de producte diferents (un producte llest per a consum, una pols per a preparar les postres a casa i un flam casolà), variant la informació oferida (origen de la fibra i un logo fent referència a la sostenibilitat). El comportament de totes dues poblacions va ser diferent en les tres variables d'estudi. Per a avaluar la incorporació de l'ingredient en la formulació d'un flam "font de fibra" (3% de contingut de fibra), es van assajar diferents percentatges de substitució d'inulina (mostra control) de les postres per l'ingredient de taronja obtingut a partir de l'extrusió + aigua calenta. La substitució d'un 30% del contingut total de fibra pel nou ingredient va aconseguir un producte similar al control, sense descriptors de sabor no agradables, amb una millora en la lluentor i la textura / [EN] This thesis covered the development of an ingredient from the by-product of the citrus industry. The aim was to obtain a powdered ingredient, with high soluble fiber content, that could be used in the formulation of other products. The work was divided into four stages. After obtaining the ingredient by the different methodologies, in the first stages its chemical composition and techno-functional properties were analyzed. Afterwards, a stability test of the ingredient was carried out after storage at different water activities. Finally, theincorporation of the ingredient as a source of fiber, in the formulation of a flan was evaluated; the effect of information on the origin of the added fiber on consumer response and the effect of incorporating said fiber on the sensory properties of the product were studied. Four non-contaminant technologies for the extraction of soluble fiber were tested. These were hot water, extrusion + hot water, jet cooker, and jet cooker + hot water. The extraction supernatant was dried in a spray dryer to obtain a powdered ingredient. The content of high and low molecular weight dietary fiber and the content of simple sugars and bioactive compounds were analyzed. The total fiber content varied between 10 and 20 grams per 100 grams of product among the tested treatments, being the extrusion + hot water process the one with the highest fiber content. In addition, this treatment was the one with the lowest sugar content and the highest content of bioactive compounds. In the second stage, the foaming capacity and stability, oil holding capacity, water solubility, hygroscopicity, microstructure, glass transition temperature, color and rheology of the solutions were analyzed. Different degrees of caking were observed in the powders, which were related to the low glass transition temperature of the ingredients, due to their low molecular weight components. Although all the solutions formed foams, the foam of the ingredient obtained by extrusion + hot water was the most stable, which could be due to its higher viscosity. In the third stage, the ingredients obtained were stored at different water activities for 15 weeks, and once the time had elapsed, their sorption isotherm was modeled. In addition, the glass transition was studied, along with the content of bioactive compounds, color, and texture. The powders were not stable in their initial state, due to their high moisture content. Browning was observed as the water activity increased. In the last stage, the incorporation of the ingredient in the formulation of a flan was evaluated. The effect of information about the ingredient on consumer response and the effect of its incorporation on the sensory properties of the dessert were studied. To evaluate the effect of information on consumer response, a survey was carried out in Spain and Uruguay, taking purchase intention and healthiness and environmental friendliness perceptions as study variables. Three different product categories were evaluated (a ready-to-eat product, a powder to prepare dessert at home and a homemade flan), varying the information offered (origin of the fiber and a logo referring to sustainability). The behavior of both populations was different in the three study variables. To evaluate the incorporation of the ingredient in the formulation of a "fiber source" (total fibre content 3%) flan, different percentages of substitution of inulin content (control sample) the total fiber content of the dessert by the orange ingredient obtained from extrusion + hot water were tested. The substitution of 30% of the total fiber content with the new ingredient achieved a product similar to the control, without unpleasant flavor descriptors and with an improvement in brightness and texture. / This work was supported by the National Innovation and Investigation Agency (ANII), Uruguay, under code POS_EXT_2018_1_154449. / Pérez Pirotto, C.

O presente trabalho objetivou estudar o impacto das variações térmicas durante o armazenamento de carcaças de frango sobre as propriedades funcionais, especialmente a perda de umidade no descongelamento (Drip Loss). Para avaliação destas condições, foram simuladas duas situações: uma comercial, onde um lote de aves abatidas, evisceradas e resfriadas em chiller foram congeladas até -15 (±2)°C e sofreram variações térmicas em ciclos de 8 horas com retirada das mesmas da câmara de estocagem, passando de -15 (±2)°C a -3(±2)°C, momento em que eram novamente devolvidas a câmara de congelamento (situação crítica) e outro lote mantido congelado a -15(±2)°C (situação ideal). Outra condição, chamada de ensaio modelo, foram simuladas 7 faixas de temperatura de armazenamento (0°C, -3°C, -6°C, -9°C, -12°C, -15°C e -18°C) visando definir faixas críticas, baseadas em valores de Drip Loss. Foram definidas 2 faixas: -3°C e -6°C, baseadas em sua proximidade a faixa mais crítica e com valores maiores de Drip Loss (0°C). Para estudo das propriedades funcionais no ensaio comercial, amostra (n=120) de carcaças, divididas em situação ideal (n=60) e situação crítica (n=60) foram descongeladas e submetidas às análises de pH, cor e perda de umidade por descongelamento (Drip Test). Os resultados encontrados mostraram uma tendência (p<0,05) de aumento do Drip Loss com o aumento do tempo de armazenamento na situação crítica, com valores de 4,77(±1,24)% para 3 dias e 10,28(±0,87)% para 120 dias. A situação ideal não apresentou diferenças significativas entre os resultados encontrados, que foram de 5,19(±1,13)% para 3 dias e 4,86(±0,84)% para 120 dias. Para estudo das propriedades funcionais no ensaio modelo, amostras (n=70), em triplicata, de carcaças foram descongeladas e, após a definição das faixas críticas, submetidas às análises de perda umidade por descongelamento (Drip Test), capacidade de retenção de água, análise de perda de umidade no cozimento, quantificação do gel protéico, análise do teor de proteínas no exsudato, análise do perfil protéico do exsudato e análise histológica. Os resultados demonstraram não haver diferenças estatísticas (p<0,05) entre as faixas críticas estudadas (-3°C e -6°C) em relação às propriedades funcionais, com exceção das análises de perda de umidade por descongelamento (Drip Test), onde a mesma tendência de aumento do Drip Loss em relação ao tempo de armazenamento foi encontrada, com valores de 5,85 (±1,16)% para 0 dia e 12,33 (±1,12)% para 70 dias na faixa -3°C e 5,83 (±1,93)% para 0 dia e 10,15 (±0,15)% para 70 dias na faixa -6°C. Concluindo, existem evidências de que as variações térmicas promovem o aumento do Drip Loss em relação a um maior tempo de armazenamento. A constatação deste fato serve como base para estudos mais aprofundados sobre o impacto das condições de armazenamento sobre as propriedades funcionais da carne de frango, bem como para padronizar os processos de congelamento, transporte, distribuição e venda de carne de frango congelada. / The objective of this work was to study the impact of thermal variations during the storage of broiler carcasses on its functional properties, especially the moisture loss during thawing (Drip Loss). In order to evaluate these conditions, two situations were simulated: one called commercial, where a batch of slaughtered, eviscerated and chilled on water system broilers were frozen to -15(±2)°C and divided in two equal batches: one of these batches was called Critical Condition and was maintained in a 8 hour cycle of thermal variation ranging from -15(±2)°C to -3(±2)°C while the other, called Ideal Condition was maintained at -15(±2)°C during all the storage time. In another situation, named Model, seven ranges of storage temperature (0±2°C, -3±2°C, -6±2°C, -9±2°C, -12±2°C, -15±2°C , -18±2°C) were simulated in order to obtain the critical ranges based on the Drip Loss values. Two ranges were found based on its proximity to the most critical range and bigger Drip Loss values: -3±2°C and -6±2°C. For the functional properties studies on the commercial situation, a sample (n=120) of broiler carcasses, equally divided in Critical and Ideal were unfrozen and pH, color and Drip Loss analyzed. The results showed a statistical trend (p<0,05) of increase of Drip Loss values as time of storage increases in the critical condition, with values of 4,77±1,24% for 3 days of storage and 10,28±0,87% for 120 days of storage. The ideal condition didnt showed significant differences among the obtained results that were from 5,19±1,13% for 3 days of storage to 4,86±0,84% for 120 days. For the functional properties studies on the model situation, a sample (n=70), in triplicate, of broiler carcasses was thawed and, after the definition of the critical ranges, it was analyzed for Drip Loss, water holding capacity, moisture loss during cooking, Exudative cooking gel quantification, protein quantification on the exsudate, protein profile on the exudate and histological evaluation. The results showed that there were no statistical differences (p<0,05) between the studied critical ranges (-3±2°C and -6±2°C) in relation to its functional properties, except for Drip Loss values, where a trend of increase in Drip Loss as the time of storage increases was found, with values from 5,85±1,16% for 0 days to 12,33±1,12% for 70 days in range -3±2°C and from 5,83±1,93% for 0 days to 10,15±0,15% for 70 days in range -6±2°C. In conclusion, theres some evidence that the thermal variation can cause the increase of Drip Loss values in relation to an increase of the storage time. All these data can be useful as basis for new studies on functional properties of broiler meat regard to thermal variation during storage, as well as, to standard the processes of freezing, transport, distribution, and retail of frozen broiler meat.

Analysing water retention capacity we obtained to ostrich (73,19 %), rhea (66,25 %) and chicken (67,13 %). Regarding the emulsifying capacity in pH 7.0 these results were obtained: ostrich (21,42 mL oil/ 100 mg proteins), rhea (18,98 mL oil/ 100 mg proteins) and chicken (31,87 mL oil/ 100 mg proteins). For the emulsion stability (pH 7.0) we obtained: to ostrich (36,33 mL released (water and oil)/ 100 g emulsion), rhea (81,00 mL released (water and oil)/ 100 g emulsion) and chicken (0,66 mL released (water and oil)/ 100 g emulsion). The values found to cooking losses were: ostrich (21,77 g/ 100 g sample)... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
