  • REDUCTION of PURINE CONTENT in COMMONLY CONSUMED MEAT PRODUCTS THROUGH RINSING and COOKING by Anna Ellington (Under the Directio
    REDUCTION OF PURINE CONTENT IN COMMONLY CONSUMED MEAT PRODUCTS THROUGH RINSING AND COOKING by Anna Ellington (Under the direction of Yen-Con Hung) Abstract The commonly consumed meat products ground beef, ground turkey, and bacon were analyzed for purine content before and after a rinsing treatment. The rinsing treatment involved rinsing the meat samples using a wrist shaker in 5:1 ratio water: sample for 2 or 5 minutes then draining or centrifuging to remove water. The total purine content of 25% fat ground beef significantly decreased (p<0.05) from 8.58 mg/g protein to a range of 5.17-7.26 mg/g protein after rinsing treatments. After rinsing and cooking an even greater decrease was seen ranging from 4.59-6.32 mg/g protein. The total purine content of 7% fat ground beef significantly decreased from 7.80 mg/g protein to a range of 5.07-5.59 mg/g protein after rinsing treatments. A greater reduction was seen after rinsing and cooking in the range of 4.38-5.52 mg/g protein. Ground turkey samples showed no significant changes after rinsing, but significant decreases were seen after rinsing and cooking. Bacon samples showed significant decreases from 6.06 mg/g protein to 4.72 and 4.49 after 2 and 5 minute rinsing and to 4.53 and 4.68 mg/g protein after 2 and 5 minute rinsing and cooking. Overall, this study showed that rinsing foods in water effectively reduces total purine content and subsequent cooking after rinsing results in an even greater reduction of total purine content.

  • For Several Commercial Pasteurization and Sterilization Processes: Overview, Uses, and Restrictions
    R&D AND PRODUCTION RETORTS SPECIALISTS (33 to 175 L) www.terrafoodtech.com Heat Process Values F (2nd Ed.) for several Commercial Pasteurization and Sterilization Processes: Overview, Uses, and Restrictions Janwillem Rouweler - [email protected]; June 12, 2015 Which heat process value F should a particular food receive to make it safe and shelf stable? 10 * Section 1 lists reported sterilization values F0 = F 121.1 (= F zero) for commercial food preservation processes of all types of food products, for several package sizes and types. * Section2 contains reported pasteurization values F, or P, of a great variety of foods. The required storage conditions of the pasteurized foods, either at ambient temperature, or refrigerated (4-7 °C), are indicated. * Section 3 shows a decision scheme: should a particular food be pasteurized or sterilized? This depends on the intended storage temperature (refrigerated or ambient) after heating, the required shelf life (7 days to 4 years), the food pH (high acid, acid, or low acid), the food - water activity aW, and on the presence of preservatives such as nitrite NO2 (E250) miXed with salt NaCl, or nisin. * In Section 4, two worked eXamples are presented on how to use an F value when calculating the actual sterilization time Pt: - C.R. Stumbo’s (1973) calculation method has been manually applied, verified by computer program STUMBO.eXe, to find the sterilization time and the thiamine retention of bottled liquid milk in a rotating steam retort; - O.T. Pham’s (1987; 1990) formula method, incorporated in EXcel program “Heat Process calculations according to Pham.xls”, has been used to find the sterilization time and the nutrient retention of canned carrot purée in a still steam retort.

  • Cooking-Principles, Methods & Its Effects
    COOKING-PRINCIPLES, METHODS & ITS EFFECTS COOKING INTRODUCTION Most of the food products which we eat are cooked before consumption. Cooking makes the food tasty, attractive, colourful, easily digestable & also ass variety to texture. Cooking also kills many micro-organisms & make the food safe to be consumed. Several raw food have antinutritional factors which are destroyed by cooking. However, if proper care is not taken while cooking, several important nutrients rae destroyed. So, it is very important to employ proper method of cooking to avoid nutrient loss. Some methods employed before cooking 1. Peeling: It is a method of removing the outer firm skin before cooking or eating fruit or vegetable. Some of vegetables & fruits are eaten with the peel. 2. Chopping It involves cutting of fruits & vegetables. Food is cut into several sizes to create variety in the cooked food 3. Grinding & pounding In grinding, the food is reduced to very fine form like spices. Sometimes cereals are also ground to powder. Pounding is also like crushing food to reduce thickness for easier cooking. 4. Soaking Pulses & legumes are soaked for few hours before cooking to make cooking easier. 5. Sprouting or germinating This method is used for pulses, legumes & grains. This method not only add variety to food, but also increases the content of vitamin C & vitamin B complex in the food. Cooking methods Methods employed for cooking of food can be categorized under two heads: 1. Moist heat methods 2. Dry heat methods 3. Other methods COOKING METHODS Moist heat dry heat other methods Boiling roasting sautering Simmering grilling frying Pressure cooking toasting - deep frying Steaming baking - shallow frying Poaching Stewing Blanching Moist heat methods It is defined as those methods of cooking, in which water is used as medium for transferring heat for ccokingg.

  • Why Olive Oil Is the Best Oil for Frying
    Why olive oil is the best oil for frying October 14, 2016 Tweet Share Contrary to popular belief, olive oil is one of the best oils for frying. The medium-high smoke point of olive oil exceeds the temperatures needed for frying. Furthermore, olive oil contains oleic acid and minor compounds that protect the oil from breaking down, even after reuse. Frying is one of the most common and most delicious ways to prepare food. Throughout the Mediterranean, traditional foods like pescadillo, calamari, keftedes, patatas a la pobre, carcio alla giudea, and falafel are all fried in olive oil. Mediterraneans know that olive oil is the best oil for cooking and frying. So why do Americans believe that olive oil should only be used raw? The science Olive oil is one of the most stable oils for cooking. Unlike other common cooking oils, olive oil contains compounds and antioxidants that prevent the oil from breaking down under moderate heat. Additionally, olive oil is mostly composed of oleic acid (Omega-9), a monounsaturated fatty acid that is naturally resistant to oxidation. Multiple peer-reviewed studies have shown that olive oil is the best oil for frying. Olive oil outperformed vegetable, peanut, corn, soybean, sunower and canola oils. Olive oil can be heated to high temperatures - In 2013, Food Chemistry published a report comparing free radical formation and oxidation (rancidity) when heating peanut oil and extra virgin olive oil. The researchers found that more heat was needed to start the oxidation process in the extra virgin olive oil than in the peanut oil.

  • Technique of the Quarter: Examining Sauces
    TECHNIQUE OF THE QUARTER: EXAMINING SAUCES Sauces are often considered one of the greatest tests of a chef’s skill. The successful pairing of a sauce with a food demonstrates technical expertise, an understanding of the food, and the ability to judge and evaluate a dish’s flavors, textures, and colors. THE PURPOSE OF SAUCES Most sauces have more than one function in a dish. A sauce that adds a counterpoint flavor, for example, may also introduce textural and visual appeal. Sauces generally serve one or more of the following purposes. Introduce Complementary or Contrasting Flavors Sauces add flavor to a dish. That flavor can be similar to the flavor of the food you are serving it with. For instance, you might choose a velouté made with chicken stock to serve with a chicken breast dish and one made with shellfish stock to serve with a shrimp dish. Choosing a sauce with a similar base flavor tends to complement and intensify the flavor of the main item. On the other hand, you can choose a sauce that adds a contrasting flavor. A good example would be a red wine sauce that introduces some bright and acidic flavors to a dish that features beef. The contrast between rich, savory beef flavors and the sharp taste of the wine makes the beef stand out. Add Moisture A sauce can add moisture to naturally lean foods such as poultry, fish. A sauce can also compensate for the drying effect of certain cooking techniques, especially broiling, grilling, sautéing, and roasting. Grilled foods may be served with a warm butter emulsion sauce like béarnaise or with compound butter.

  • Simple Suppers: Findings from a Family Meals Childhood Obesity Prevention Intervention
    Simple Suppers: Findings from a Family Meals Childhood Obesity Prevention Intervention Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Catherine Ann Rogers, MS, RDN, LD Ohio State University Nutrition Graduate Program The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Carolyn W. Gunther, PhD (Advisor) Sarah Anderson, PhD Carla Miller, PhD, RD Keeley Pratt, PhD, IMFT Copyright by Catherine Ann Rogers 2017 Abstract Background: Given the ongoing childhood obesity public health crisis and potential protective effect of family meals, there is need for additional family meals research specifically experimental studies with expanded health outcomes that focus on the at-risk populations in highest need of intervention. Future research, specifically intervention work, would also benefit from an expansion of the target age rage to include younger children who are laying the foundation of their eating patterns and are capable of participating in family meal preparations. The purpose of this dissertation research was to address this research gap by developing and assessing the effectiveness of a 10-week multi-component family meals intervention targeting underserved families with children 4-10 years old, aimed at eliciting positive changes in child diet and weight status. Methods: A 10-week family meals program (Simple Suppers) designed for underserved families with 4-10 year old children from racially diverse backgrounds was implemented as a pre-test-post-test, multi-cohort, quasi-experimental trial with waitlist control. The 10, 90-minute program lessons were delivered weekly over the dinner hour at a faith- based community center.
