Abstract and Figures

This research was studied on antioxidant properties of Monascus pigment from broken rice in Chinese sausage. The 4 levels of Monascus pigment were used (0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 percent of meat weight). The PV, TBARS, color values, a sub w, total plate count, yeast and mold, and sensory property were determined compared with nitrite added Chinese sausage (control). All sausages were packed in the polypropylene (PP) bag and stored at room temperature for 28 days. It was found that PV and TBARS values of Chinese sausage with 1.00 percent Monascus pigment were lower than other levels during storage. The a* values was the highest (P LT= 0.05) (most deep red), while the L* and b* values were the lowest (P LT= 0.05). The a sub w values of all sausages were decreased (P GT 0.05) during storage. Total plate count and yeast and mold of the samples were met the requirement of the community product standard. The liking scores of odor and taste of 1.00 percent pigment added Chinese sausage was the highest, whereas the color, appearance and overall liking scores of the sausage with 0.50 percent pigment were the highest. The shelf life of Monascus pigment added Chinese sausages and nitrite added at room temperature were 14 and 7 days, respectively. Summaries (En, Th) 4 ill., 3 tables

Abstract
This research was studied on antioxidant properties of Monascus pigment from broken rice in
Chinese sausage. The 4 levels of Monascus pigment were used (0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 % of meat weight).
The PV, TBARS, color values, a
w, total plate count, yeast and mold, and sensory property were determined
compared with nitrite added Chinese sausage (control). All sausages were packed in the polypropylene (PP)
bag and stored at room temperature for 28 days. It was found that PV and TBARS values of Chinese sausage
with 1.00 % Monascus pigment were lower than other levels during storage. The a* values was the highest
(P<0.05) (most deep red), while the L* and b* values were the lowest (P<0.05). The aw values of all sausages
were decreased (P>0.05) during storage. Total plate count and yeast and mold of the samples were met the
requirement of the community product standard. The liking scores of odor and taste of 1.00 % pigment added
Chinese sausage was the highest, whereas the color, appearance and overall liking scores of the sausage with
0.50 % pigment were the highest. The shelf life of Monascus pigment added Chinese sausages and nitrite
added at room temperature were 14 and 7 days, respectively.

Oxidative degradation of lipids, especially that induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS), leads to quality deterioration of foods and cosmetics and could have harmful effects on health. Currently, a very promising way to overcome this is to use vegetable antioxidants for nutritional, therapeutic or food quality preservation purposes. A major challenge is to develop tools to assess the antioxidant capacity and real efficacy of these molecules. Many rapid in vitro tests are now available, but they are often performed in dissimilar conditions and different properties are thus frequently measured. The so-called ‘direct’ methods, which use oxidizable substrates, seem to be the only ones capable of measuring real antioxidant power. Some oxidizable substrates correspond to molecules or natural extracts exhibiting biological activity, such as lipids, proteins or nucleic acids, while others are model substrates that are not encountered in biological systems or foods. Only lipid oxidation and direct methods using lipid-like substrates will be discussed in this review. The main mechanisms of autoxidation and antioxidation are recapitulated, then the four components of a standard test (oxidizable substrate, medium, oxidation conditions and antioxidant) applied to a single antioxidant or complex mixtures are dealt with successively. The study is focused particularly on model lipids, but also on dietary and biological lipids isolated from their natural environment, including lipoproteins and phospholipidic membranes. Then the advantages and drawbacks of existing methods and new approaches are compared according to the context.

The official International Dairy Federation method for determination of the peroxide value of anhydrous milk fat was extended to poultry, meat, fish, and vegetable oils. The ferrous oxidation-xylenol orange method for determination of peroxide values of liposomes and lipoproteins was modified to make it simpler and more rapid. These 2 spectrophotometric methods were used successfully to determine the peroxide values of beef, chicken, butter, fish, and vegetable products. The results in most cases were consistent with those obtained by using the AOAC Official Method. The spectrophotometric methods have an assay time of less than 10 min, require < or = 0.3 g fat, and are capable of determining peroxide values as low as 0.1 mequiv/kg of sample.

SUMMARY2-Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values of raw pork were determined by distillation and extraction methods and those of raw beef were determined by the latter method during storage at 4° and –20°C. TBA values of these tissues were low compared to values usually reported for cooked tissue from these animals in similar environments. There were significant animal differences in TBA values of beef and pork; there were significant changes in TBA values of these tissues during storage at 4°C, but changes during storage at –20°C were insignificant. pH and TBA values were inversely related. Mathematical relationships between TBA values of pork and beef during storage at 4°C. between TBA values and pH and between results obtained by the two procedures for determining TBA values of pork during storage are discussed. The extraction method is an acceptable method for determining TBA values and is easier to use than the distillation method. The TBA test has limited use for meat samples that have been frozen.

Fungus Monascus (Monascaceae) possesses functional components effective in improving human health. The fungus was inoculated into rice and a traditional product (Monascus-fermented rice, anka, red koji) was produced after the colonization of fungal mycelia. Our objective was to evaluate the antioxidant properties of methanolic extracts from inoculated rice products [monascal polished rice (MPR) and monascal dehulled rice (MDR)] as compared to uninoculated rice products [polished rice (PR) and dehulled rice (DR)]. With regard to EC50 values (mg extract/ml) of methanolic extracts, inhibitions of peroxidation were excellent and in the descending order of PR>DR>MDR>MPR. Effectiveness in reducing powers was in the descending order of MPR⪢MDR⪢DR>PR. Scavenging abilities on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals were in the descending order of MPR>MDR>PR∼DR. Chelating abilities on ferrous ions were in the descending order of MPR∼MDR>PR>DR. Total phenols were the major naturally occurring antioxidant components found. Overall, monascal rice products were better in reducing power, scavenging and chelating abilities and higher in total phenol content than uninoculated rice products.

Both the fungus Monascus sp. and adlay possess functional components effective in improving human health. The fungus was inoculated into adlay and a new product was produced after the colonization of fungal mycelia. Our objective was to evaluate the antioxidant properties of methanolic extracts from inoculated products [monascal polished adlay (MPA) and monascal dehulled adlay (MDA)] as compared to uninoculated products [polished adlay (PA) and dehulled adlay (DA)]. With regard to EC50 values (mg extract ml−1) of methanolic extracts, antioxidant activities were excellent and in the descending order of MDA (0.05) ≫ MPA (0.75) > DA (0.83) ≫ PA (6.35). Effectiveness in reducing powers was in a descending order of MPA (0.78) > MDA (1.53) ≫ PA (13.24) ∼ DA (13.67 mg ml−1). Scavenging abilities on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals and chelating abilities on ferrous ions were in the descending order of MPA > MDA > DA > PA. Total phenols were the major naturally occurring antioxidant components found. Overall, monascal adlay products displayed higher antioxidant activity, reducing power, scavenging and chelating abilities and higher in total phenol content than uninoculated adlay products.

Pigments producing microorganisms and microalgae are quite common in Nature. However, there is a long way from the Petri dish to the market place. Five productions, using Monascus, Penicillium, Dunaliella, Haematococcus and Porphyridium, are discussed. Some companies invested a lot of money as any combination of new source and/or new pigment drives a lot of experimental work, process optimization, toxicological studies and regulatory issues. Time will tell whether investments were cost-effective. Future trends involve combinatorial engineering and production of niche pigments not found in plants.

Nitrate and nitrite are used for the purpose of curing meat products. In most countries the use of both substances, usually added as potassium or sodium salts, is limited. Either the ingoing or the residual amounts are regulated by laws. The effective substance is nitrite acting primarily as an inhibitor for some microorganisms. Nitrite added to a batter of meat is partially oxidized to nitrate by sequestering oxygen - thus it acts as an antioxidant - a part of nitrite is bound to myoglobin, forming the heat stable NO-myoglobin, a part is bound to proteins or other substances in meat. Nitrate may be reduced to nitrite in raw meat products by microorganisms. As oxidation and reduction may occur the concentrations of nitrite plus nitrate in a product has to be controlled and measured especially if the residual amounts are regulated. This sum of both compounds is important for the human body. Intake of nitrate with food leads to its absorption over the digestive tract into the blood. In the oral cavity nitrate appears again where it is reduced to nitrite. With the saliva the nitrite is mixed with food, having the same effect as nitrite in a batter (inhibiting growth of some pathogenic microorganisms) and swallowed. In the stomach nitrite can eventually form carcinogenic nitrosamines in the acidic environment.

Pigments produced as secondary metabolites by various isolates of moulds belonging to the genus Monascus have been used traditionally as colorants in Oriental food. Modern food industry has rediscovered these moulds as promising source for natural colorants. However, recent studies evidence that one of the secondary metabolites produced by Monascus is identical in structure to the mycotoxin citrinin. Thus, a sensitive HPLC method was developed to analyse these food colorants for contamination with citrinin. The mycotoxin could be detected in all the commercial Monascus samples at concentrations varying between 0.2 to 17.1 microg/g. In addition, the mutagenicity of commercial Monascus samples applying Salmonella-microsome assay and Salmonella-hepatocyte-assay was investigated and compared to the results obtained with citrinin. Citrinin and two Monascus extracts induced a positive dose depending mutagenic response in the Salmonella-hepatocyte-assay applying strain TA-98. However, no mutagenicity could be detected in the Salmonella-microsome assay, neither with nor without S9-mix, for citrinin and Monascus extracts, applying TA-98, TA-100, TA-1535, TA-1538 and TA-97. These findings provide further evidence that citrinin requires complex cellular biotransformation to exert mutagenicity.
