Fresh pork sausages were prepared from prerigor meat with synthetic antioxidants and combinations of Rosemary (R: 1500, 2000, 2500 ppm) and Green tea (G: 100, 200, 300 ppm) extracts. Experimental controls contained synthetic antioxidants only. A randomized complete block design with a factorial arrangement involving ten treatment combinations, three frozen storage periods (0.5, 3, 6 mos) and four retail display times (0, 7, 14, 21 d) was utilized. Secondary lipid oxidation products were reduced (P < 0.05) in treatments with higher amounts of R compared with the control across all frozen storage periods. Higher concentrations of both plant extracts led to increased (P < 0.05)CIE a* (redness) andCIE b* (yellowness) and decreased (P < 0.05) CIE L* (lightness) up to 6 mos of storage. Higher concentrations of R enhanced chroma and delayed discoloration throughout 14 d of retail display after 3 and 6 mos of storage. Combinations of R2500+G100 inhibited (P < 0.05) microbial growth compared with the control throughout retail display. Higher levels of R and G showed higher (P < 0.05) concentrations of spice-derived terpenes alpha-pinene, camphene, and isopulegol up to 3 mos of storage. Incorporation of R resulted in lower (P < 0.05) concentrations of lipid or microbial degradation products 2,4-decadienal, 2-butanone, and methanethiol following 3 mos of storage. Higher levels of G showed lower (P < 0.05) concentrations for 3-methyl-1-butanol and methyl isovalerate after 6 mos of storage. Natural plant extract addition led to higher (P < 0.05) consumer acceptability scores and were liked by >80% of the respondents across all frozen storage periods. The control displayed spoilage and detectable rancidity by day 7 following 6 mos of storage. Pork, nutmeg, ginger, and spice complex aromas were higher (P < 0.05) in sausages with increased concentrations of R following 0.5 and 3 mos of storage. Caramelized aroma followed a similar trend for treatments with a higher G content. Ginger, copper-herbal, rancid, offlavor and off-odor descriptors which were lower (P < 0.05) in sausages containing increased G concentrations. The use of R2500+G300 improved quality over time when the product was stored frozen for 6 mos.

Traffic Control Signs or destination boards on roadways offer significant information for drivers. Regulation signs tell something like your speed, turns, etc; Warning signs warn drivers of conditions ahead to help them avoid accidents; Destination signs show distances and directions to various locations; Service signs display location of hospitals, gas and rest areas etc. Because the signs are so important and there is always a certain distance from them to drivers, to let the drivers get information clearly and easily even in bad weather or other situations. The idea is to develop software which can collect useful information from a special camera which is mounted in the front of a moving car to extract the important information and finally show it to the drivers. For example, when a frame contains on a destination drive sign board it will be text something like "Linkoping 50",so the software should extract every character of "Linkoping 50", compare them with the already known character data in the database. if there is extracted character match "k" in the database then output the destination name and show to the driver. In this project C++ will be used to write the code for this software.

Qualitative and quantitative analysis of anthocyanins and other phenolic compounds from a purple corn extract was performed. The purple corn extract had cyanidin-3-glucoside, pelargonidin-3-glucoside, peonidin-3-glucoside and its respective acylated anthocyanin-glucosides. Cyadinin-3glucoside was the main constituent (44.4 ?? 4.7%) followed by the acylated cyanidin-3-glucoside (26.9 ?? 8.0%). Other phenolic compounds present in the purple corn corresponded to protocatechuic acid, vanillic acid, and p-coumaric acid. In addition, quercetin derivatives, a hesperitin derivative and pcoumaric and ferulic acid derivatives were found. Fractionation of phenolic compounds yielded two main fractions, an anthocyanin-rich water fraction (WF) and an ethyl acetate fraction (EAF). Evaluation of antimutagenic activity in both fractions revealed higher antimutagenic activity in the ethyl acetate fraction compared to the anthocyanin-rich fraction. On the other hand, antioxidant activity of the anthocyanin-rich fraction was higher compared to the ethyl acetate fraction. Further fractionation of the anthocyanin-rich fraction in a Toyopearl HW40 gel permeation column yielded five sub-fractions which showed no difference in antimutagenic activity except for the water sub-fraction WF-V. All the sub-fractions were active as antimutagens and antioxidants. Further fractionation of the ethyl acetate fraction yielded four sub-fractions that showed to be active as antimutagens and antioxidants. Ethyl acetate sub-fraction EAF-IV was the most active as an antimutagen. HPLC-DAD characterization of that sub-fraction revealed mainly the presence of a quercetin derivative with UV-visible spectral characteristics similar to rutin but with a little longer retention time. The mechanism of antimutagenic action by the phenolic compounds present either in the anthocyanin-rich fraction or the ethyl acetate fraction and sub-fraction EAFIV seems to be a contribution of a direct action on the enzymes involved in the activation of the mutagen and to the scavenging activity of the mutagen nucleophiles, as demonstrated by our assays.
