Papieża Pawła VI nr 3, 71-459 Szczecin, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The triacylglycerol’s (TAG) structure has influence on physical properties and the oxidation stability of lipids. There are conducted a number of investigation, which aim to improve the nourishment’s properties of lipids by TAG structure modification. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of lipid’s oxidation by heating catalisation and by photooxidation on the changes reached in TAG. The study were conducted on fish lipids. The fatty acids composition was determined with the GC/MS method, the TAG composition by the HPLC method, polar and non-polar fraction of lipids with SPE, spectrum IR and fluorescence as well as lipid’s oxidation with chemical methods. There was ascertained, that lipid’s oxidation by heating catalisation causes changes in the structure and the quantity of TAG. Photooxidation influences less than heating on the structure’s changes in TAG. Słowa kluczowe: lipidy rybne, ogrzewanie, utlenienie lipidów, struktura triacylogliceroli. Key words: fish lipids, heating, lipid oxidation, triacyloglicerol’s composition. Folia Univ. Agric.

Papieża Pawła VI nr 3, 71-459 Szczecin Abstract. A total of 17 strains of Listeria monocytogenes which expressed various hemolytic activity was analyzed. Strains hemolyzed from 20% up to almost 100% of erythrocytes. The supplement of carbohydrates usually inhibited the hemolytic activity, and the decrease in the activity depended on a strain and a type of sugar. Yet, some sugars (cellebiose, fructose, lactose) caused the increase in the hemolytic activity. Based on the results of PCR-based fingerprinting tests, the correlation between the amplification profile and the level of hemolytic activity expressed on the medium without carbohydrates added was revealed. Similarity also covered the influence of sugars on the level of hemolysin production. Słowa kluczowe: hemoliza probówkowa, listeriolizyna, czynniki wirulencji, RAPD, Listeria monocytogenes.

Papieża Pawła VI nr 3, 71-459 Szczecin Abstract. In the last 10-years period a visible increase in number of foodborne infections due to Campylobacter sp.was noted in many countries. With lack of such epidemiological data for Poland we can only anticipate, for the scale of campylobacteriosis in Poland to be simillar. Campylobacteriosis is a typical zoonosis. Campylobacter species most frequently implicated in human cases being thermotolerant C. jejuni and C. coli. The warm blooded animals are considered to be the main source of Campylobacter sp. A consequence of the faecal origin of Campylobacter sp. is its presence in natural environment and food. Widespread of Campylobacter sp. confronted with aging of societies, increasing strain resistance to antibiotics, growing scale of tourism, etc. may be in favour of increasing number foodborne infections due to Campylobacter sp., also, in Poland. Słowa kluczowe: kampylobakterioza, źródło infekcji, żywność. Key words: campylobacteriosis, source of infection, food. Folia Univ. Agric.

Papieża Pawła VI nr 3, 71-459 Szczecin Abstract. In the article authors analyze usefulness of DNA tests in improvement of food microbiological quality assessment based on own investigations. The results of PCR test for identification of Listeria monocytogenes are based on the iap gene presence. Results of Multiplex PCR test make it possible to detect simultaneously Listeria monocytogenes and other listeria species. The work presents examples of RAPD and PFGE tests which allow for interspecies differentiation of listeria. These tests also reveal persistence presence of some listeria clones in fish processing plant. Słowa kluczowe: bezpieczeństwo żywności, analiza DNA, PCR. Key words: food safety, DNA analysis, PCR.

J. Słowackiego 17, 71-434 Szczecin Abstract. The experiment was carried out at the Department of Processing and Storage of Plant Raw Material at the Agricultural University of Szczecin in 2002. In the study the vegetables to be frozen were made from blanched and non-blanched material of three patisson cultivars (‘Disco’, ‘Gagat’ and ‘Polo F1’). The chemical composition of fresh, blanched and frozen fruits was estimated. Furthermore, an organoleptic estimation of the frozen patisson was made. Among the tested cultivars the highest content of dry matter, vitamin C, total and reducing sugars was found in the fresh fruits of cultivar ‘Disco’. After blanching the amount of all the analysing components significantly decreased, especially in fruits of cultivars ‘Disco’ and ‘Polo F1’. After freezing and 6 months of cold storage a decrease of reducing sugars, vitamin C and total chlorophyll was observed. The results of the study indicate that there is a possibility to resign of blanching without significant effect on smell of frozen patisson fruits. Additionally, without blanching frozen fruits showed less vitamin C and chlorophyll losses. The organoleptic estimation of the tested frozen patisson was very high in all determinants of quality. Słowa kluczowe: patison, składniki chemiczne, mrożenie, blanszowanie. Key words: patisson, chemical components, freezing, blanching. Folia Univ. Agric.

J. Słowackiego 17, 71-434 Szczecin Abstract. The objective of this study was the estimate the ability of a thermophilic fungus Thermomyces lanuginosus to biosynthesize lipolytic enzymes on the solid medium with Tween 40. The material investigated consisted of 144 strains of this fungus that was isolated from various sources (mushroom compost, garden compost, leaf compost, biohumus, hazelnuts and raw coffee beans). The strains were incubated at 55ºC on the solid medium with Tween 40. The study proved that all tested strains were able to hydrolyze the Tween 40 contained in the medium. The highest lipolytic activity have the strains isolated from raw coffee beans. The lowest lipolytic activity have strains isolated from leaf compost. It was found the essentials positive correlation between the diameters of the colonies and lipolytic activity of the strains isolated from mushroom compost, garden compost, raw coffee beans and hazelnuts.

Papieża Pawła VI nr 3, 71-459 Szczecin Abstract. Fat acidity (FFA), peroxide value (PV), anisidine value (AsV), UV-VIS spectrum, and fluorescence were determined in butter stored for two weeks at 30ºC, 6ºC, and -20ºC and stored for one month at 6ºC, and -20ºC. Fatty acid composition was determined with GC/MS on the onset and after 5 days of storage. Most milk fat quality indices used varied widely during the time of storage, the range of variations increasing with increasing storage temperature. The difference depending on storage temperature were significant in some period of storage only, with the following trend of lipid changes. Lipolysis was found to proceed faster under cold storage than both in the frozen butter and that stored at 30ºC. The oxidation rate increased with increasing storage temperature.

Papieża Pawła VI nr 3, 71-459 Szczecin Abstract. Applicability of Trilac® in enhancing the ripening of brine-salted Baltic herring was tested. Herring carcasses were incubated at 7+1oC in 12% or 14% NaCl enriched with 0.1% Trilac® and 0.6% acetic acid; the fish to brine weight ratio being 1:1. Samples for assays were taken after 2, 6, 8, 12, 15, and 17 days of ripening; herring meat and brine were assayed separately. In addition to the sensory evaluation of salted herring, the following analyses were performed: fish and brine weight, pH, water content, total nitrogen, non-protein nitrogen, amine nitrogen, polypeptides, peptides, tyrosine, and meat texture (TPA test). Brine enrichment with Trilac® was found to produce no significant changes in meat pH, while it reduce herring weight losses and intensified oligopeptide increase during ripening. However, the salted herring ripening was only slightly accelerated by addition of Trilac® (by 1-2 days), while the product shelf-life was substantially reduced, to 8-10 days compared to at least 17 days in the control. The shelf-life reduction was caused by the appearance of alien flavours in the meat of herring ripening in Trilac®, the flavour intensity clearly increasing in the second half of the ripening period. One of the caused underlying the flavour deterioration was decomposition of free basic amino acids. Słowa kluczowe: śledź solony, dojrzewanie, Trilac®. Key words: salted herring, ripening, Trilac®.

Papieża Pawła VI nr 3, 71-459 Szczecin Abstract. Applicability of total volatile bases (TVB), trimethylamine (TMA), and ammonium (NH3), assayed with the Conway method, to evaluation of the degree of freshness of brinesalted, headed and gutted Baltic herring ripened at 4º and 8ºC was studied. The brine contained varying NaCl concentrations: from 8 to 14% (without additives) or 12% and 14% NaCl with addition of the following stimulants: acetic acid, calcium chloride, sugar, and Trilac® lactic acid bacteria formula. The N-TMA content was found to characteristically decrease during ripening, particularly in those fish harvested in summer; the decrease contributed to an irregular course of changes in TVB and their limited applicability to evaluation of salted herring freshness. The TVB content in the salted herring meat, that had just become unsuitable for consumption, varied from 27 to 53 mg% N. Changes in the ammonium content during ripening were more regular than those of TVB. The salted fish became unsuitable for consumption at about 22 mg% N-NH3, but for herring ripened in acidified brine this value was higher (32 mg% N-NH3). Other additives used with brine did not interfere with the regular changes of ammonium content, except for the high concentrations of calcium chloride (0.5%) and Trilac®: at the initial phase of ripening (until day 6 to 9), the additives caused the NH3 contents to increase slightly, most probably as a result of the activity of endogenous transglutaminase and that of lactic acid bacteria, respectively. In conclusions authors are suggested that ammonium content be used as an ancillary objective indicator in evaluation of freshness of brine-salted Baltic herring.

Papieża Pawła VI nr 3, 71-550 Szczecin Abstract. Food rations of vegetarians living in Szczecin were assessed terms of their nutritive value. The study involved a group of 30 individuals, consisting of 20 women aged 19-62 and 10 men aged 26-41. The subjects had been on a vegeterian diet for an average of 8-9 years. The nutritive value was assessed from information, obtained by interviewing the subjects, on foods consumed over the past 24 hours. The nutritive status of the subjects was evaluated from their BMI. The food rations assessed were found to vary in their nutritive value. Indices reflecting the mean daily coverage of demand for the basic nutrients showed the rations consumed by men to be more nutritive than those consumed by women. Rations of both groups were found to be thiamine – and riboflavin – deficient and to supply: 53.5% (women), 78% (men) and 72% (women), 79% (men) of the daily requirement, respectively. In addition, food rations of women proved deficient in protein, lipids, calcium, and iron.

Microbiological quality of salads before storage (at 2nd day after manufacturing) not answered to requirements. Excessive total number of mesophilic aerobic bacteria (>105 cfu·g-1), yeasts (>102cfu·g-1) and coliform bacteria (titre of coliform 0.0001g) was stated. After storage total number of mesophilic aerobic bacteria increased but contamination by yeasts, moulds and acid-forming bacteria was similar to the level before storage and population of coliform bacteria reduced (titre of coliform increased to 0.001g). The significant differences between the mean content of dry matter and vitamin C in salads before and after storage was noted. The quantity of total sugars, nitrates did not change significantly and the level of total acidity was stable. There were no nitrites in salads before and after storage.

Kazimierza Królewicza 3, 71-550 Szczecin Abstract. The dressing percentage, percentage of primary cuts in carcassses, pH48 and thermal drip of selected wild boars muscles of different weight were studied. Investigations have been done on 25 carcasses of wild boars weighed about 20, 30, 40, 50 and 70 kg (five animals in each group) including their cutting to primary cuts and detailed dissection of received parts of carcasses. The highest dressing percentage was obtained for 40-50 kg weighed wild boars and the lowest for the oldest animals. It was also found that the bigest element of wild boars carcass is a ham. High participation of shoulder and low participation of jowl is also characteristic. On the other side, increasing weight of wild boars carsass resulted in a reduction of percentage of skin and belly and augmentation of percentage of ham and shoulder. The higher pH48 was found for shoulder and for wild boars weighed obout 40 kilograms, the lower was obserwed for loin and for animals obout 50 kg. The highest thermal drip loss was typical of BF, the lowest thermal drip being found in L. The juvenile wild boar (animals about 30 kg) muscles showed the lowest thermal drip loss and the highest was obserwed for the oldest wild boars.
