  • The Benefits of Applying the Microscopic Examination in the Analysis of Meat Products
    The benefits of applying the microscopic examination in the analysis of meat products Isabela Voichița ISACONI (BULAI)*, Elvira GAGNIUC, Ștefania Mariana RAITA, Manuella MILITARU University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, 59, Mărăști Blvd, District 1, Bucharest, ROMANIA *Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The microscopic examination of meat products allows the identification of tissue structures and, to a certain extent, of the unauthorized content of plant and animal origin, the detection of parasites, the quality evaluation of the meat having undergone processes of freezing and thawing, the detection of muscle degeneration, the detection of foodstuffs adulteration and of the dangerous ingredients in meat products. The purpose of this study was to emphasise the importance of the results attained by microscopic evaluation of the integrity and quality of the meat used for meat products, the detection of the constituents of animal and vegetal origin, of the non-authorized tissues in the analysed products using routine staining as well as special staining. A total of 22 samples from different categories of meat products, represented by: boiled and smoked products (n = 5), cooked and double-smoked products (n = 2), raw-dried meat products (n = 6), baked and smoked meat products (n = 3), smoked meat products (n = 6), were randomly purchased from the commercial network within their validity period. All samples were processed using the routine paraffin inclusion

    Khazar Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Volume 18, Number 1, 2015 The risk of losing national identity in the twenty-first century Romania, or national identity from adaptation to self-censorship Andreia-Irina Suciu VasileAlecsandri University of Bacău, Romania Mihaela Culea VasileAlecsandri University of Bacău, Romania Introduction Risk and/in society – risking national identity The concept of risk was defined in general terms or with reference to a specific aspect of one field of research or another. When the term was regarded at a general level it was defined, for example, as “the probable frequency and probable magnitude of future loss” (Jones 2005: 12). Therefore, the most striking effect of or aspect related to risk is the loss that it engenders. When related to movements in society at one level or another the notion was viewed in connection with various aspects such as business, politics, language, health, security, etc. concerning the evolution of society in a particular concern. In our paper we propose to relate the risk paradigm to aspects concerning national identity and discuss the manner in which risk can be registered and/or gauged at the level of preserving the markers of national identity in the twenty-first century Romania in the context of the new economic, financial, cultural, political, etc. challenges and factors of change. The contribution of all these factors can negatively affect the integrity of national identity and, in time, the weakening or devitalisation of national specificity may become increasingly discernible. The purposes of our research are related to these areas in a theoretical and practical manner, as follows.

Country of origin effect and perception of Romanian consumers. Junior Scientific Researcher, Vol III, No. 1, pp. 19-29. Abstract In the context of globalization, international trade has become more intense. This exploratory research aims to identify the Romanian consumers' perception of the country of origin (COO). In the present research, we analysed two perspectives of the effect of the country of origin: political economy and marketing. The positive impact of campaigns to encourage the purchase of domestic products has not yet been confirmed for the decision-makers. On the other hand, in order to achieve a successful marketing strategy, it is essential to know the consumer’s perception of the COO effect. The research data was collected through a survey conducted on a sample of 250 respondents from the North-East Region of Romania. The results confirm that the effect of the home country has a moderate impact on purchases and the COO effect is more associated with certain product categories. The average COO effect on quality perception is greater than the COO's average effect on purchasing intent.

  • Traditional Romanian Food Products – Attraction Points and Tools for Improving Romania’S Visibility
    Recent Researches in Applied Economics and Management - Volume I Traditional Romanian food products – attraction points and tools for improving Romania’s visibility ALIN SAMSON, CARMEN TUNEA, ANGELA ALBU “Stefan cel Mare” University Suceava, Universitatii street, no 13, 720 229, Suceava ROMANIA [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: A part of the cultural heritage of a nation is the variety of traditional food, kept unchanged for generation to generation. Romania has some traditional ways to prepare food, characteristic for each region of the country and the tourists who tried once a traditional dish will come again to taste it. The Romanian trade and tourism used only a little part of the promotional value of its traditional food products to attract customers and tourists. The European certification scheme for traditional food gives the possibility to obtain three types of certifications for traditional food products. This paper made a critical analysis of the situation of Romanian food products certificated by EU and proposed some actions to increase the number of certificated products and to improve the international image of the country. Key-Words: traditional food products, country brand, protected designation of origin (PDO), protected geographical indication (PGI), traditional speciality guaranteed (TSG) 1. Introduction due to the health problems caused by the Food is a very sensitive subject nowadays due to consumption of different processed food (milk for the risks associated to the chain of production, babies, yogurt, meat products, and others). So, transport, selling and consumptions, and, also, to the consumers have lost the trust in certain foods as a necessity of assuring food products for all the consequence of contamination events, who affected inhabitants of the planet.

  • The Cocktail of “Integrated” Menus. Ethnic Identity and Alterity in the Discourse of Menus
    The Cocktail of “Integrated” Menus. Ethnic Identity and Alterity in the Discourse of Menus Luminiţa DRUGĂ, Petronela SAVIN Key-words: menus, identity and alterity ethnique, phatique The first thing that comes to one’s mind when thinking about globalization is that of economic globalization. The idea is perfectly rendered by the migration of the international capitals, goods and people. Moreover, besides this particular type of globalization, there comes the cultural globalization, as a result of communicational revolution. The economy’s objectives are the production and distribution of goods and services, minimizing the real characteristics of its effects. Nevertheless, the properties of both the goods and cultural services contribute to the expanding of cultural globalization as a simple concept of economic globalization. Another important value which appears is-the symbolic value-a solid value impossible to be affected by the market price. It is this the starting point which should be taken into consideration by the one who studies the discourse of food, a discourse that encapsulates both the economic and the symbolic layer tracing the cultural identity of a nation. There is an opposition known worldwide, between two types of cultural goods totally opposed: the genuine symbols and traditions, a label of local identity and the modern cultural occidental goods, which are created and promoted by mass media. One of the most commented topics of nowadays mentality is that of the relation between the national and cultural identities and the economic processes of globalization. This topic has profound implications for the understanding of the European integration within the Romanian cultural identity.
