Se (1.32–4.6). The elemental concentrations of fish studied seemed to be close to the international standards. The highest trace element concentrations were obtained from pastırma, meat and sausage while the lowest value was observed in
Trachurus trachurus (saurel). Iron concentrations in all samples were higher than the recommended values.
This study reports on the results of research and technological improvements achieved during the past decade in the field of traditional Turkish meat products having economic value. Traditional ...Turkish meat products discussed are sucuk (dry, uncooked, cured, and fermented sausage), pastırma (seasoned, air-dried, cured, pressed, and non-fermented beef cut), döner kebab (meat block roasted with slow rotation in front of a vertically positioned heat source), kavurma (a deep fried, diced meat, stored in the solidified animal fat), and çiğ köfte (raw meat balls). These products are produced and consumed all around the world. Research on these products has been focused on issues such as chemical and microbiological analysis of commercial products, quality and safety improvements, additives, new and/or alternative processing methods, and health. Research results indicate that possible foodborne illnesses and quality problems are major concerns and further research, a broad control system, changes such as adding natural antimicrobial and antioxidants and process modifications are needed to improve safety and quality of these products. Some changes such as intensive poultry contributions to commercial production, safety and quality concerns about traditional meat products are pointed out, as well as the trends in a research and development, technological circumstances are discussed.
The sculptor Matteo de’ Pasti left Rimini in 1461 bound for Ottoman Sultan Mehmed
ii
’s court at Constantinople with gifts from Sigismondo Malatesta. When his ship stopped in Crete, Matteo was ...detained by the island’s Venetian authorities on charges of espionage. Contemporaries report that he carried with him a map, now lost, but assumed to be a strategically valuable one of the Adriatic. Discussions of Matteo’s mission claim that it attempted to supply the sultan with essential intelligence for an invasion of Italy.
Yet, this spy story finds little confirmation in historical sources. Indeed, our knowledge of the map’s very existence derives from the reports of Sigismondo’s enemies. I examine this prominent embassy as a means to reconsider attitudes toward the utility of maps in the scholarly imagination and the role of art and artists in early modern diplomacy. Revisiting documentary evidence and the claims scholars have grounded therein, I explore how we have told the tale of this journey in ways that conform to our own shifting expectations, sometimes at the expense of fidelity to the sources at hand. Overwhelming focus on the absent map has obscured both Matteo’s role as envoy and the distinctive place of evidently skillful and delightful visual culture in this attempted exchange.
As collaborators on the project Performing the Jewish Archive we worked with students in the US and in the UK to devise two separate peformances based on a script from the Terezín Ghetto (in German, ...Theresienstadt) titled Comedy about a Trap. By developing with them what we call 'co-textual' scenes, we engaged in a type of performance pedagogy that we hope will achieve lasting transformation: the students created and performed a relationship between the script, their new knowledge of the past and their own views in the present, leading to transformative insights regarding the lives of the prisoners and the need for action today.
In 1461 the notorious Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, Lord of Rimini, sent his court artist Matteo De’ Pasti to portray the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II. The artist never reached his destination, being ...arrested as a spy by Venetian authorities in Crete. Despite the mission's failure it has as much to contribute to our understanding of Italian–Ottoman relations as other fruitful visits. Malatesta had selected Valturio's military treatise De re militari along with maps of Italy as gifts for the sultan. The treatise has been dismissed by many as having no practical use. However, this is to overlook the fact that it explained developments in Italian military architecture that would have been beneficial to the Ottomans. Furthermore, it will be argued that De’ Pasti's services could have extended beyond the production of portrait medals by bringing to light his experience as an inspector of fortifications. The gifts that were sent and the knowledge possessed by the loaned artist highlight the diversity of attitudes to be found within the Italian city-states towards the ostensible enemy. In fact, the fractured political system of the Italian peninsula will be shown to have been fertile ground for the nurturing of this obliging friendship with the Ottomans.
A total of 92 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolated from Turkish Pastırma (a salted and dry-cured meat product) were identified by means of phenotypic characteristics. Of these, 45 exhibited a ...different phenotypic characteristic selected as representative and identified by automated ribotyping. The phenotypic characterization of predominant LAB isolated from the traditional manufactured Pastırma was based on general morphology, physiological tests and API system. The genotypic characterization of LAB was determined with automated
Eco
RI ribotyping. Identification made according to phenotypic and biochemical characteristics shows the isolates were LAB and that nine different bacterial groups could be distinguished.
Lactobacillus plantarum
was the main species detected. In addition,
Lactobacillus sakei, Enterococcus faecium
and
Pediococcus acidilactici
species were obtained by automated ribotyping. A few strains were phenotypically misidentified as
Lactobacillus fermentum
or
L. pentosus
, while the phenotypic characteristics were resolved in
L. sakei
and
Weissella confusa
by ribotyping. Ribotyping shows a good correlation with phenotypic methods except 4 clusters.
Introducción. La producción de forraje verde y su calidad son algunos de los factores que determinan la eficiencia en los niveles de producción y composición de la leche en los sistemas intensivos en ...el norte antioqueño. Las pasturas predominantes son el Kikuyo pennisetum Clandestinum que predomina en un 85% en los sistemas especializados. Este pasto requiere altos niveles de fertilización química para lograr producciones de biomasa suficientes para mantener las altas cargas a las cuales los productores lo someten. La fertilización nitrogenada recomendada para este tipo de explotaciones fluctúa entre 50 y 70 Kg de nitrógeno por hectárea/pastoreo, lo que implica al menos 400 kg de nitrógeno/año.El costo de los fertilizantes ha obligado a los productores a buscar estrategias que permitan disminuir los altos costos de fertilización, utilizando, entre otras opciones, la materia orgánica como fuente de abonamiento. El uso de materia orgánica es importante debido a su impacto sobre la estructura del suelo y sobre algunas características fisicoquímicos que ayudan a una mejor utilización del fertilizante químico y finalmente favorecen la calidad y producción de forraje verde. Objetivo. determinar el efecto de la sustitución parcial del fertilizante químico sobre la producción de forraje verde y la relación hoja tallo de una finca del norte de Antioquia. Materiales y métodos. Para esto se utilizó un diseño experimental en bloques, aleatorizado con 3 tratamientos utilizando como bloques los 17 potreros en los cuales se llevó a cabo el estudio; en cada potrero se hicieron, como mínimo, 3 repeticiones. Los tratamientos fueron: 1) 50Kg de N/ha; 2) 25 Kg de N/ha mas 200Kg de fertilizante orgánico y 3) 25 Kg de N/ha mas 300Kg de fertilizante orgánico. Resultados. El análisis estadístico se efectuó mediante el procedimiento GLM de SAS versión 9.0. Conclusión. Según el análisis no existió diferencia significativa (p<0.05) entre los tratamientos para ninguna de las características evaluadas: producción de forraje verde por hectárea y relación hoja-tallo. Esto significa que en términos de producción y calidad agronómica del forraje el fertilizante orgánico sustituyó el químico y se constituyó en una alternativa viable para la fertilización en este tipo de explotaciones.
