Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito da maturação (14 dias) e do escore de marmorização (escore visual 4 ou maior e escore visual 3 ou menor) sobre a qualidade física e química, sensorial, microbiológica e perfil de ácidos graxos da carne suína. Foram utilizados 40 lombos (m. longissimus) oriundos de suínos mestiços comerciais, fêmeas, com peso corporal médio final de 130 kg e aproximadamente 180 dias de idade, provenientes de cruzamento de linhagem paterna Duroc, submetidos à mesma condição alimentar. Os lombos foram coletados em frigorifico comercial e separados de acordo com o escore visual de marmorização, por meio de cartões fotográficos (variando o valor da escala visual de 1 a 6 e 10). Foi considerada alta marmorização (A) os lombos com pontuações acima ou igual a 4 e baixa (B) com pontuações abaixo ou igual a 3. Em seguida, os lombos foram divididos em: 1- lombos sem maturação e com marmorização abaixo ou igual a 3; 2- lombos sem maturação e com marmorização acima ou igual a 4; 3- lombos maturados por 14 dias e com marmorização abaixo ou igual a 3 e 4- lombos maturados por 14 dias e com marmorização acima ou igual a 4. Ainda, foi avaliada a área de olho de lombo (AOL) e espessura de gordura subcutânea (EGS). Foram coletadas amostras de 2,54 cm e de 1,0 cm, embaladas a vácuo e maturadas por zero (sem maturação) e 14 dias para análises de pH, cor, maciez objetiva (FC), perdas por cocção (PPC), lipídeos totais (LT), perfil de ácidos graxos, colesterol total (CT), oxidação lipídica (TBARS), análise sensorial e microbiológica. Os LT diferiram-se (P < 0,05) entre alta e baixa marmorização (3,42% e 2,39%, respectivamente). Os lombos com alta marmorização apresentaram menores valores de AOL e maiores valores de EGS (P < 0,05). A maturação por 14 dias reduziu os valores de pH dos lombos em comparação aos não maturados (P < 0,01). As carnes maturadas por 14 dias apresentaram-se mais claras em comparação às não maturadas (P < 0,01). O escore de marmorização e a maturação não influenciaram a FC, PPC e TBARS. As carnes maturadas apresentaram maior contagem de bactérias ácido-láticas e psicrotróficas (P < 0,01), no entanto, sem risco para a saúde humana. Com o aumento do escore de marmorização houve redução nas concentrações dos ácidos graxos poliinsaturados e na relação AGPI:AGS e aumento na concentração dos ácidos graxos saturados (P < 0,05). O escore de marmorização não alterou o CT nos lombos. O atributo sabor, avaliado em análise sensorial foi influenciado pelo escore de marmorização (P < 0,05). Os consumidores avaliaram a carne de alta marmorização como sendo a mais saborosa. A marmorização na carne suína pode ser um atrativo ao consumidor mais exigente em sabor, contudo, pode impactar no valor nutricional da carne, o que pode prejudicar a intenção de compra. / The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of aging (14 days) and marbling score (visual marbling scores less than 3 and greater than 4) on sensory attributes, microbiological, fatty acid profile, physical and chemical analysis of pork loin. A total of 40 pork loins (longissimus muscle, LM) were obtained by commercially raised crossbred gilts (average carcass weight = 130 kg, 180 days of age) from a crossbred Duroc paternal lineage. Pigs were fed similar based diet. The LM were collected in a commercial packing plant and separated according to the visual marbling score, (visual scores from 1 to 6 and 10). the loins were divided into higher (HMAR) and lower marbling (LMAR): 1- LM without aging and marbling score less than or equal 3; 2- LM without aging and marbling score greater than 4; 3- LM aged for 14 days and marbling score less than 3 or equal; 4- LM aged for 14 days and marbling score greater than 4 or equal. Then, the loin eye area (LMA) and subcutaneous fat thickness (SFT) were evaluated. Samples of 2.54 and 1.0 cm were collected and aging for zero and 14 days to pH, color, shear force (SF), cooking loss (CL), total lipids (TL), fatty acid profile, cholesterol content (CHL), thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance (TBARS), sensory and microbiological analysis. The TL differed (P < 0.05) between high and low marbling score (3.42% and 2.39%, respectively). Moreover, the loins with high visual marbling obtained lower values of LMA and high values of SFT (P < 0.05). The aging for 14 days reduced the pH and the samples were lighter compared to without aging (P < 0.01). In addition, the marbling score and aging did not influence SF, CL and TBARS. The aging loins had higher of acid-lactic and psychrotrophic counts (P < 0.01), however, it does not present health risks. When increasing marbling score, there was a decrease in the concentrations of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), relationship PUFA: SFA ratio and an increase in SFA (P < 0.05). The marbling score did not change the CHL content. The flavor attribute was influenced by the marbling score (P < 0.05). The consumers evaluated the HMAR as the tastiest. The marbling score may be a more consumer-demanding taste, but it can impact the nutritional values of meat and reduce the purchase intention.

O experimento consistiu de dezesseis tratamentos distribuídos num esquema fatorial 4x2x2, sendo 4 genótipos (Excel (E) - Nn, Linha 21 (L21) - nn, Maximus (M) - NN e Optimus (O) - NN), 2 sexos (machos castrados e fêmeas) e 2 pesos (leves - 95 a 100Kg e pesados - 115 a 120Kg) e seis repetições. Foram realizadas medidas de composição da carcaça: Peso da Carcaça Resfriada (PCR), Área de Olho de Lombo (AOL), Comprimento de Olho de Lombo (COL), Profundidade de Toucinho (PT), Porcentagem de Carne Magra (%CM) e medidas de Espessuras de Músculo (EM) e Gordura (EG) e avaliações de qualidade de carne: pH, cor (L*a*b*), Perda por Exsudação (PE) e Capacidade de Retenção de Água (CRA). Os resultados estatísticos da composição da carcaça para o genótipo nn indicaram valor de AOL significativamente superior em relação aos genótipos Nn, NNM e NNO e valor de PT significativamente menor que NNM e NNO, porém, não diferindo de Nn. Quanto à EM, ocorreu uma tendência do NNM apresentar os maiores valores, seguido pelo Nn, nn e NNO. Em relação à EG, NNO mostrou os maiores valores, não diferindo significativamente de NNM e nn, enquanto o genótipo Nn apresentou o menor valor para esta característica. A %CM dos genótipos nn e Nn foi significativamente maior que NNM e NNO, confirmando a expressão do gene recessivo (n) em depositar mais carne na carcaça que o dominante (N). Os resultados estatísticos de qualidade de carne mostraram que o genótipo nn apresentou o menor valor de pH24 no músculo Semimembranosus, combinado com os maiores valores de luminosidade (L*) e PE em comparação com Nn, NNM e NNO. Não houve diferença significativa entre os genótipos NN and Nn na PE. Em relação à CRA, NNM obteve valor significativamente menor que Nn, nn e NNO. Os resultados obtidos permitem concluir que o gene halotano em homozigose (L21) contribuiu para a obtenção de uma carcaça mais musculosa, porém, com qualidade de carne inferior, apresentando maior incidência de carne PSE. Em relação ao sexo, os machos resultaram carcaças mais pesadas, mais gordas e carne com menor luminosidade. Finalmente, com exceção da %CM, os valores de composição da carcaça aumentaram com o peso de abate, não sendo constatadas mudanças nas características de qualidade avaliadas. / This experiment consisted of sixteen treatments in a 4x2x2 factorial arrangement, 4 genotypes (Excel - Nn, Line 21 - nn, Maximus - NN and Optimus - NN), 2 sexes (barrows and gilts) and 2 weights (light - 95-100Kg and heavy - 115-120Kg) and 6 repetition. The exams were submitted to the following carcass composition measurements: Cold Carcass Weight (CCW), Loin Eye Area (LEA), Loin Eye Length (LEL), Fat Depth (FD), Lean Meat Percentage (LM%) and Fat (FT) and Muscle (MT) Thickness. Meat quality measurements were also realized: pH, Color (L*a*b*), Drip Loss (DL) and Water Holding Capacity (WHC). The results of this study showed that genotype nn had shown significantly higher values of LEA than another genotypes and significantly lower values of FD than NNM and NNO, and it didn’t differ from genotype Nn. There was a tendency by genotype NNM to show higher values of MT followed by Nn, nn and NNO. Genotype NNO showed higher values to FT and did not differed significantly from NNM and nn, while genotype Nn showed lower values to this characteristic. Genotypes nn and Nn showed significantly higher values of LM% than NNM and NNO. With reference to meat quality, genotype nn has shown lower value of pH24 measured in the muscle Semimenbranosus and higher values of L* and DL than genotypes Nn, NNM and NNO. Genotype NNM had significantly higher values of WHC than nn, Nn and NNO. There was no significant difference between NN and Nn when considered DL. The results above indicate that halothane gene in homozygous (nn) helped to obtain more muscular carcasses. On the other hand, this genotype showed worst meat quality. As a consequence of that, genotype nn has shown higher incidence of pale, soft and exudative meat. With reference to sex, barrows had significantly higher values to CCW, FD, FT, L* and b*, resulting paler meat and heavier and fatter carcass than gilts. Except for LM%, as carcass weight increased there were increases in all the characteristics. The data from this study suggest that there were no meat quality differences between the two slaughter weights.

Introdução - A bactéria Listeria monocytogenes é um agente zoonótico transmitido, principalmente, por alimentos. Dentre as fontes de contaminação, destacam-se os produtos de origem láctea, carnes e embutidos, além dos ambientes da indústria de processamento alimentício. Na última década, foram detectadas cepas de L. monocytogenes e L. innocua, em ambiente de frigoríficos e alimento. Estas apresentavam variação na intensidade da virulência para células eucarióticas decorrente de mutações nos genes de virulência. Esta alteração em ambas as espécies, e o relato de um caso fatal de listeriose humana ocasionada por L. innocua atípica demandam atenção, pois apresentam maior risco à saúde da população exposta a estes ambientes e alimentos tornando-se, portanto, uma importante questão de saúde pública. Objetivo - Pesquisar genes de virulência em cepas de L. monocytogenes e L. innocua, isoladas em pontos da linha de abate suíno e do comércio de carne no Estado de São Paulo. Material e Métodos Foram estudadas 40 cepas, dentre estas, isolados de L. monocytogenes e L. innocua com atividade hemolítica atípica. Foram realizados testes de atividade hemolítica e produção de fosfolipase A para caracterização dos isolados. A detecção dos genes de virulência foi realizada através da reação em cadeia pela polimerase (PCR). Para confirmação das sequências amplificadas e a análise das mesmas, os fragmentos obtidos foram sequenciados. A identificação molecular das espécies foi realizada por análise filogenética dos genes prs e 16S rRNA. Resultados Dos 40 isolados, cinco de L. monocytogenes e sete de L. innocua apresentaram atividade hemolítica atípica, sendo que nestes últimos também foi observado halo atípico no meio ALOA. As cepas de L. monocytogenes foram positivas para a detecção de todos os genes de virulência estudados. Dois dos isolados atípicos de L. innocua também foram positivos para todos os genes e os outros cinco foram positivos para hly, plcA e inlC. Foram detectadas mutações nas proteínas InlC, InlB, InlA, PI-PLC, PC-PLC e PrfA, nas cepas atípicas, que resultaram em alterações nas suas estruturas secundárias que podem explicar o fenótipo desses isolados. A confirmação de espécie apenas foi alcançada com a análise filogenética do 16S rRNA. Conclusões A partir desses resultados, foi proposta a utilização dos genes prfA, plcB e inlB, como forma de triagem, para diferenciar as espécies L. monocytogenes e L. innocua, de modo a complementar os testes fenotípicos / Introduction - The bacterium Listeria monocytogenes is a zoonotic agent transmitted, mainly, by food. Among the sources of contamination, stands out dairy products, meat and the environments of food processing industry. In the last decade, strains of L. monocytogenes and L. innocua have been detected in food and slaughterhouses environment. These presented variation in the intensity of virulence to eukaryotic cells due to mutations in the virulence genes. These changes in both species, and the report of a fatal case of human listeriosis caused by atypical L. innocua demand attention, because they present greater risk to the health of the population exposed to these environments and food and, therefore, it is an important public health issue. Objective - To search for the virulence genes in strains of L. monocytogenes and L. innocua isolated in points of swine slaughter line and meat trade in Sao Paulo State. Material and Methods 40 strains were studied, among these, isolates of L. monocytogenes and L. innocua with atypical hemolytic activity. Tests of hemolytic activity and production of phospholipase A were performed for isolates characterization. The detection of virulence genes was performed through polymerase chain reaction (PCR). For confirmation of the amplified sequences and analysis of the same, the obtained fragments were sequenced. The molecular identification of species was performed by phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA and prs genes. Results - Of the 40 isolates, five L. monocytogenes and seven L. innocua showed atypical hemolytic activity, and in these last ones an atypical halo was also observed in ALOA medium. The L. monocytogenes strains were positive for detection of all virulence genes studied. Two atypical L. innocua isolates were also positive for all genes and the other five were positive for hly, plcA and inlC. Mutations in InlC, InlB, InlA, PI-PLC, PC-PLC and PrfA proteins were detected, in the atypical strains, which resulted in changes in their secondary structures that may explain the isolates phenotype. Species confirmation was achieved only with phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA. Conclusions - From these results, it was proposed the use of prfA, plcB and inlB genes as a way of screening, to differentiate the species L. monocytogenes and L. innocua, in order to complement the phenotypic tests

The purpose of this study was to compare the performance and carcass characteristics of swine of four different phenotypes and three USDA grades. Hogs were placed into phenotypic groups of 24 each and penned by group. These pens were ideal, cutability, light muscled, fat, VS US and US The hops were fed a 16% corn and soybean meal ration fortified with appropriate minerals and vitamins. They were housed in a total confinement curtain-sided Kentucky plan building with a partially slatted floor. The hogs were weighed at 6-week intervals throughout the project to monitor average daily gain and pen feed efficiency. Twelve hogs from each pen were slaughtered at approximately 2(0 pounds and the remaining twelve pigs at approximately 230 pounds to determine if differences in performance and carcass characteristics remained consistent or became greater at heavier weights. Carcass weight, backfat at the tenth rib and last rib, length and loin eye area were obtained on each carcass. Data were adjusted to the group means for the heavy and light groups using least squares analysis. The mean for the heavy group was 255 pounds and the mean for light group was 229 pounds. Results of the study showed the ideal pen to have significantly higher (P<.01) average daily gain than all other pens at 229 pounds and significantly higher (P<.01) average daily gain than the cutability, US #2, and US #3 pens at 255 pounds. The two leanest and heaviest muscled pens were cutability and US #1. These two pens had significantly (P<.01) lower fat and larger loin eye area than the light muscled. US #3 and fat pens at 229 pounds. The fat pen had significantly (P.-01) greater backfat, smaller loin eye area, and lower percent muscle than all other pens in the heavy group. The cutability and US #1 pens had significantly higher (P<.01) percent muscle than the light muscled, US #3, and fat pens. The ideal, US #1, and cutability pens had significantly (P<.01) higher lean gain per day on test than all other pens with the exception of the light muscled pen taken to the heavier slaughter weight. The ideal, cutabilitv, and US #1 hogs had the lowest average values for feed per unit of lean gain. The fat pen required 2.5 pounds more feed to produce a pound of loan gain than ideal. cutability or US #1 pens. The US #1 group required 1.50 fewer pounds of feed per pound of lean growth than US #2 and #3 groups. These results indicate that the ideal pen was superior in terms of performance and lean growth. The cutabilitv and US #1 pen were the leanest and heaviest muscled. The fat group was extremely high in backfat, low in loin eye area and the most inefficient in converting feed into lean tissue.

Fresh beef was modified-atmosphere packaged in carbon monoxide or oxygen to prolong red surface color. After comparison of several packaging method using carbon monoxide, steaks pretreated with 5% carbon monoxide for 24 hours and then vacuum packaged had the best combination of color and microbial stability (5 weeks), with the least potential for carbon monoxide inhalation. In the evaluation of ground beef in high-oxygen, modified-atmosphere-packaging, thiobarbituric-acid numbers increased over time, and the flavor was disliked slightly after 6 or 10 days of storage at 2° Celsius. The antioxidant effect of milk-mineral was tested in raw and cooked ground pork stored refrigerated or frozen. Thiobarbituric-acid numbers were low for all raw treatments. For cooked ground pork, thiobarbituric-acid numbers were lower for samples with milk-mineral or sodium-tripolyphosphate, compared to control or samples with butylated-hydroxytoluene. Sodium-tripolyphosphate, a type 2 antioxidant (iron chelator), was also very effective in preventing heme degradation during refrigerated storage.

<p>Among the most significant changes to the agricultural sector in the twentieth century include a sharp decline in employment and the numbers of farms, a decline in the proportion of total value that accrues to agricultural producers, and an increase in farm level and regional specialization. Within the U.S., substantial differences in the characteristics of agricultural producers and the spatial distribution of production persist amid industry change. These changes coincided with changes in global markets, domestic consumption, consolidation and concentration within the processing and retailing sectors, and government policy. The causality that lies behind these developments is the key puzzle that this study addresses. </p><p>This study advances an institutional explanation of industry formation across locations within the U.S. Differences in industry constitution at the local level produce different impacts of and responses to global markets, reflected by economic changes and policy developments, as actors work to secure stability and advantage in markets (Fligstein 2001). This study uses the global value chains' definition of the industry, which incorporates the network of actors arrayed along a process of production, to capture the set of actors with the capacity to affect industry operation (Gereffi 1994). An assessment of the relative importance of local economic characteristics, global markets, organization and coordination within industries, and government policies to where production locates in the primary objective of the study.</p><p>The pork and non-cigar tobacco industries across several states within the United States from 1959 through 2005 allow for a contrast along the key changes identified above. Within case comparison is used to construct causal narratives of industry change at the state level. Panel and pooled time series analysis assess the relative importance the factors to agricultural change.</p><p>Local economic characteristics largely fade from significance with the inclusion of the theoretical perspectives. Total and net trade in agricultural and manufactured products is generally significant across industries for production, although this is not the case for specific tobacco types. The proportion of farms composed of small farms is significant for production and for farm structure in both industries. The presence of manufacture is significant for hog production and could not be assessed for tobacco. While federal policies are broadly significant for the tobacco industry, identified state policies exhibit few consistent effects for hog production. Importantly, farm structure measures were only available for Census years, which reduces sample size. Second, many of the measures are industry-specific, which reduces comparability.</p> / Dissertation

Meat is one of the most important food products. European Union countries, including Lithuania, are the main meat producers in the world - their production comprises more than 16 % of processed meat. In the world commerce meat products conclude 12,8 % of market place, of which 39 % - pork. The purpose of the work - to analyse the preservative gas impact on freshness sustention of pork products. The main tasks are to review the freshness rates of pork products, their evaluation methods; to discuss the ways of long-lasting freshness sustention, which are usable in the processed food industry; to analyse the preservative gas method on the freshness sustention of meat products; to research and to compare the microbiological pollution of the sausages, packed in the preservative gas and not packed in it. The methods of research are: analysis of the primary documents; analysis of the secondary documents; analysis of the scientific literature; analysis of the statistics, microbiological research of pork sausages. The most effect of the preservative gas usable for the packing meat products is obtained by packing smoked sausages, which microbiological pollution after 20 days, increases 1,2 – 2 times.
