Evaluation of Egg White Protein-Based Coatings to Improve the Protection of Frozen Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar)
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of different egg white protein coatings on Atlantic salmon quality preservation after 4 months of frozen storage were evaluated, and the best results were obtained with the application of coatings before freezing.
Apprising Techniques of Minimal Processing
TL;DR: In this paper, the selected techniques of minimal processing used in various food industries are focussed, the major problem while processing food materials are change in organoleptic properties, by taken this into consideration packaging techniques involving controlled atmospheric packaging and gas flushing along with the combination of several techniques based on the nature of food items are also brought under this processing techniques.
Dissertation
Étude des caractéristiques physico-chimiques et fonctionnelles d'enrobages et de films à base d'amidon
TL;DR: In this paper, a number of solutions filmogenes ont ete formules: 3 types d’amidons, amidon + proteines,Amidon + huile de colza, Amidon + plastifiant, et al. A partir de la meilleure comprehension du role de la composition and de la structure sur les performances of films, plusieurs formulations ont ee testees comme enrobage ou film sur des prunes fraiches.
