Effect of bioclimatic area on the composition and bioactivity of Tunisian Rosmarinus officinalis essential oils
2014
The chemical composition of eight Tunisian Rosmarinus officinalis L. populations (A-H) from different bioclimatic areas has been examined by gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry. The essential oils are characterised by high amounts of oxygenated monoterpenes (58.2-71.7%) followed by monoterpene hydrocabons (15.1-26.7%). 1,8-Cineole, camphor, α-pinene and borneol are the main representative components. The antioxidant activity was investigated by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH), ferric reducing ability power assay and β-carotene bleaching test. Samples showed antiradical activity by inhibiting DPPH radical with IC50 values ranging from 375.3 to 592.8 μg mL(- 1) for s…
Physicochemical properties of novel non-meat sausages containing natural colorants and preservatives
2018
In this study, novel non-meat sausage formulations (egg white, carrageenan, and modified cornstarch) was developed and evaluated for their sensory quality. Based on a full factorial design, optimal levels of ingredients and the effect of the addition of natural coloring agents such as lycopene, paprika oleoresin, and red yeast rice powder were investigated. The formulations were assessed based on models consisting of sensory attributes including cutting ability, flavor, texture, odor, and overall acceptability. According to results of overall acceptability, the optimal levels of carrageenan, modified corn starch, and egg white for the formulation found to be 0.5, 3, and 3% (w/w), respective…
