| physico-chemical, microbiological, textural and sensory attributes of matured game salami produced from springbok (antidorcas marsupialis), gemsbok (oryx gazella), kudu (tragelaphus strepsiceros) and zebra (equus burchelli) harvested in namibia. | differences and consumer acceptability of matured salami produced from game species were evaluated. the ph of the salami differed (p < 0.05) with springbok salami having the highest mean ph value. no differences (p > 0.05) were observed among the species for a(w), shear force, gumminess or cohesiveness. microbiological counts of the game salami differed for coliform (p < 0.05) but not for e. coli (p > 0.05) counts. the most distinctive characteristics observed by the quantitative descriptive ana ... | 2010 | 21185658 |
| expression and biochemical characterization of two novel feruloyl esterases derived from fecal samples of rusa unicolor and equus burchelli. | two novel genes (tvms10a, tvmz2a) were identified in the metagenomic dna of rusa unicolor and equus burchelli fecal samples. the amplified pcr product of tvms10a is composed of 917bp and the gene was found to encode a protein containing 165 amino acids, while the tvmz2a pcr product was 1053bp long encoding 298 amino acid proteins. the gene has 72% primary sequence identity with clostridiales sp. these amplified pcr products which can encode fae were cloned into pgemt easy ta cloning vector and t ... | 2012 | 22441123 |
