Abstract:
Rosemary oleoresin (200 ppm) was compared to a commercial antioxidant mixture of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) (200 ppm) and citric acid in frozen and freeze dried breakfast sausages prepared with 18% mechanically deboned turkey meat. Analysis for malondialdehyde (MDA) revealed that both antioxidant treatments inhibited lipid oxidation during 5 weeks of storage. Rosemary oleoresin was comparable in activity to the commercial antioxidant mixture in the freeze dried products but not in the frozen products. Fatty acid analysis at the beginning and the end of storage revealed a selective decrease in certain long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids which was not related to treatment. Sensory analysis yielded a strong preference for the frozen sausages which was attributable to the poorer texture of the freeze dried sausages rather than to flavor deterioration.

Freezing Point Depression and Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to ambient atmospheric pressure. Since the vapor pressure of a solution is lowered due to the presence of nonvolatile solutes, it stands to reason that the solution’s boiling point will subsequently be increased. Vapor pressure increases with temperature, and so a solution will require a higher temperature than will pure solvent to achieve any given vapor pressure, including one...

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a...
