The lipid content of fallow deer was 2.4 percent (±0.04). Total n3 fatty acids differed (P<0.05) between treatments and decreased with increased storage and display day. There were significant (P<0.05) treatment and time interactions on all measured colour parameters, TBARS and myoglobin forms. Fresh mince was lighter and had higher redness (a*) and yellowness (b*) values than mince from two months frozen stored meat. Hue angle for fresh mince remained stable throughout display whereas it increased for frozen/thawed mince. Fresh mince had lower TBARS values than frozen/thawed mince. Minced meat produced from frozen/thawed deer meat had higher surface met-myoglobin and total met-myoglobin percentages. Surface and total oxy-myoglobin percentage was higher in fresh mince. The first trial clearly showed colour and lipid stability differences between fresh mince and mince from frozen/thawed meat. It also showed that fresh mince has a longer retail display life than mince produced from frozen/thawed meat (six days and four days, respectively). In the second trial, the effects of frozen storage duration on colour and lipid stability were investigated. Twenty-four fallow deer were used. Twelve were harvested in June (6male 6female) and the other twelve in August (6 male 6female) of the same year.Twenty four hours after harvesting, the fore and hindquarter muscles of the carcasses were deboned, vacuum packed and kept at -20°C until October (i.e. 2months and 4months frozen storage period). Upon thawing, the meat was processed into mince following the same procedure used for the first trialand displayed for a fiveday period under retail display conditions. Frozen duration and gender had no effect (P>0.05) on the proximate composition of fallow deer meat. The total amount of saturated fatty acids (SFA) increased and total amount of poly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) decreased as frozen duration and display day increased (P<0.05). Frozen duration affected (P<0.01) lipid oxidation and percentage oxy-myoglobin. Mince pH and all colour parameters (L*, a*, b*,hue and chroma) differed (P<0.05) between treatments on day zero and three. Display day was a significant factor (P<0.05) on all measured parameters. By day three all parameters except pH showed signs of extended oxidation and discolouration as evidenced by reduced redness, decreased colour intensity and high TBARS values. This study showed that prolonged frozen storage negatively affects the colour and lipid stability of meat and increases oxidation of PUFAs during frozen storage. However, the study also suggests that although frozen/thawed meat has a shorter retail display shelf life; the proximate composition of the meat remains unchanged.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 16:01:16 SAST ]]> The effect of grain and soya bean-based diets on chicken production, some egg quality traits, and the potential for allergen carryover to eggs and meat https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:28192 0.05) in live weight (LW), average daily feed intake (ADFI), weekly feed intake (FI), feed conversion ratio (FCR), cumulative feed intake (CFI) and cumulative gain (CG) between treatments. No significant differences (P > 0.05) between dressing percentage of broilers from the two treatments were observed. As birds grew, significant differences (P < 0.05) in LW, FI, AFI, FCR, and CFI, over a four-week period were recorded. Results of the allergen analyses indicated that soy and gluten allergens were not carried over from feed into eggs and meat of chickens fed a maize/soya bean-based diet and a maize/soya bean-based with a 15 percent whole wheat inclusion, respectively. In conclusion, a maize/soya bean-based diet and maize/soya bean-based diet with a 15 percent whole wheat inclusion that contained soy and gluten allergens, are feed sources that promote and stimulate 36-week-old LW hen and Ross 308 chicken growth.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 15:46:51 SAST ]]> Corporate Social Responsibility as a strategy for community development in the Eastern Cape Province: The Case of Volkswagen in Uitenhage https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:40789 Wed 12 May 2021 14:27:15 SAST ]]> An investigation into how Zimbabwe's Bulawayo viewers negotiate the gay storyline in Generations https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3543 Tue 27 Aug 2024 11:05:51 SAST ]]> The role of agriculture towards poverty alleviation in poor households in Zimbabwe: the case of Harare Province https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:28261 Tue 07 May 2024 10:47:49 SAST ]]> Attitudes of community stakeholders towards stigmatization of people living with HIV/AIDS in Highland View, linked to St Patrick's Clinic, Bizana, Eastern Cape https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:34352 Tue 07 May 2024 10:38:30 SAST ]]> “Exploring barriers to citizen participation in development: a case study of a participatory broadcasting project in rural Malawi” https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3539 Thu 13 May 2021 09:27:37 SAST ]]> Gold metallogeny of Australia https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4928 Thu 13 May 2021 08:47:03 SAST ]]> The integration of pre-primary education into three mainstream primary schools in the Khomas Region in Namibia: implications for management and leadership https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1388 Thu 13 May 2021 07:26:49 SAST ]]> Mesopredator release and the effectiveness of camera traps for estimating mammal abundances in the Eastern Cape, South Africa https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:20527 Thu 13 May 2021 06:42:54 SAST ]]> Biofuels and rural development: A case study of the Mapfura-Makhura Incubator and small-scale farmers in the Limpopo Province https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:20062 Thu 13 May 2021 06:18:08 SAST ]]> An investigation into the perceived effects of a school management/leadership training programme in the Ondangwa East Education Region of Namibia https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1848 Thu 13 May 2021 06:10:54 SAST ]]> Geochemical and mineralogical aspects of the Molteno Formation, South Africa https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4901 Thu 13 May 2021 06:08:55 SAST ]]> The nature and origin of gold mineralization in the Tugela valley, Natal Structural and Metamorphic Province https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4979 Thu 13 May 2021 06:05:23 SAST ]]> 'n Perspektief op kommunikasie in 'n post-apartheidsera in Suid-Afrika met spesifieke verwysing na die rol van Afrikaans https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3575 Thu 13 May 2021 05:50:52 SAST ]]> Synthesis, characterization and anticancer studies of Oxovanadium(iv) Dithiocarbamate complexes https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:39880 Thu 13 May 2021 05:48:29 SAST ]]> An investigation into whether a leadership and management development project changed the perceptions of the educators in a black, disadvantaged school https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1620 Thu 13 May 2021 05:19:50 SAST ]]> The use of the van Hiele theory in investigating teaching strategies used by grade 10 geometry teachers in Namibia https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1817 Thu 13 May 2021 04:57:46 SAST ]]> The contribution of smallholder agriculture production to food security in rural Zimbabwe : a case study of Masvingo Province https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:29350 Thu 13 May 2021 04:29:28 SAST ]]> Crossing the border : constructions of borderline personality disorder within the South African context: a discourse analytic study https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3184 Thu 13 May 2021 03:40:28 SAST ]]> The relationship between conscientiousness, extraversion and leadership effectiveness among local government managers in Bisho and East London https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11556 Thu 13 May 2021 03:32:05 SAST ]]> Synthesis and characterization of NaYGdF4 upconversion nanoparticles and an investigation of their effects on the spectroscopic properties of two phthalocyanine dyes https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:26594 Thu 13 May 2021 02:50:03 SAST ]]> Christo-centric reconciliation : being a dissertation considering reconciliation with particular reference to;
