The aim of the study was to monitor two types of Carpathian salami (one with a fat content of 20% and the other with 30% content). Variations in humidity, pH, fat and NaCl content were monitored, as well as changes that occurred during storage. The monitoring interval of the influence of raw and auxiliary materials on the obtained salami and the physicochemical and organoleptic changes occurred during storage was 1 - 115 days. In the case of the two types of salami, it was observed that the variation of fat conten...

The purpose of the paper was to assess the rheological properties of some kinds of sausages from the local market. Three different kinds of sausages were chosen: Cabanos (CS), Peasant (PS) and Grill (GS). In order to analyze the viscoelastic characteristics stress relaxation tests were run on the above food at the room temperature. With the "Origin" program, the graphic part was made, obtaining for each three compression curves. From these curves were calculated the compression module (or elasticity module or Youn...

The presence of heavy metals in environmental factors remains among the most important concerns at national and international levels, while at the same time novel biomaterials usually derived from agricultural wastes are designed and tested for their removal below admitted limits. In this respect efficiency of biosorption of Hg2+ and Pb2+ on corn cobs have been studied for different working parameters: initial solution concentrations of heavy metals, particle size of biomass and temperature. The kinetic model for ...
