Volatile profile and multivariant analysis of Sanhuang chicken breast in combination with Chinese 5-spice blend and garam masala

Sanhuang chicken is a popular native breed in China and well-known for delicious flavour.Spices could enhance the chicken meat flavour and work well in preservation.Chinese 5-spice blend(CS)and garam masala(GM)are routinely using spices in China and Pakistan,respectively.The flavour profiles of Sanhuang chicken breast(CB)and its blends with CS and GM were obtained by electronic nose(E-nose),solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(SPME GC-MS)and GC-ion mobility spectrometry(GC-IMS).Principal component analysis(PCA)efficiently discriminated the aroma profiles of three chicken formulations.The GC-chromatographs revealed the significant aroma alterations of chicken breast meat after marination with spices.Aldehydes were the major contributors of chicken aroma,while most of the aromatic hydrocarbons were generated by spices.Almost all chicken key-compounds produced by oxidation reaction were either reduced or eliminated by marination,showing the antioxidation capacity of spices leading to meat preservation.GC-IMS is not only a rapid and comprehensive detection method,but also proved to be more sensitive than GC-MS.The substantial role of both traditional spices in enhancing flavour quality of chicken meat,and their exposure as functional ingredients in Chinese and Pakistan cuisines could lead to the cross-cultural meat trade opportunities.

Protective effect of Eleteria cardamomum(L.) Maton against Pan masala induced damage in lung of male Swiss mice

Objective:To study the potential ameliorating properties of cardamom Elettaria cardamomum (E.cardamomum) L.Maton against pan masala induced damage in lung of male Swiss mice. Methods:The experimental animals were divided into 3 groups(control,pan masala treated group and pan masala with cardamom treated group) to evaluate pan masala toxicity.The observations were substantiated with profound changes in the lung tissue as revealed in the histologic and transmission electron microscopic examinations.Results:Lung of pan masala treated group showed adenocarcinoma,edema,and inflammation with increased activity of acid phosphatase,alkaline phosphatase,and lactate dehydrogenase.The deleterious effects were seen to be less in cardamom treated group and the enzymatic activity also decreased significantly (P【0.05)\ in the ameliorating group.Conclusions:Thus,the present experiment exciting results are observed when cardamom is supplemented with pan masala,or when given alone.

Histological and ultrastructural studies on the toxic effect of pan masala and its amelioration by Elettaria cardamomum

AIM:To investigate the histological and ultrastructural changes observed in pan masala intoxicated mammalian testes under the effect of cardamom.METHOD:Male Swiss mice were given pan masala orally at a dose of 2% of the feed and cardamom at a dose of 0.2% of the feed.They were divided into three groups,control(Group I),pan masala-treated(Group II),and a combination of pan masala and cardamom-treated group(Group III).Histologically,the testes of Group II mice displayed degeneration of tubular epithelium,disruption of spermatogenesis,and a marked reduction in germ cells.RESULTS:When cardamom was given,damage was less with fewer distorted cells and also improvement with normal tubules and spermatid differentiation in Group III.Ultrastructurally,pan masala-treated testes showed cytoplasmic vacuolation,shrinkage and pyknotic nuclei of spermatogonia,and abnormal acrosomal granules.CONCLUSION:When cardamom was given,the amelioration process was more evident showing a comparable morphology with control.

《翱翔雄心》:配方化生产、MASALA体裁遗存与“新主流电影”身份

肩负2018年巴基斯坦电影票房之王的美誉,《翱翔雄心》延续了巴基斯坦新电影以爱国主义基底糅合浪漫传统和现实主义创作的配方化生产。尽管其在巴国内主旋律大片的盛名实至名归,但在跨国凝视的观照下,Masala对巴国内电影生产的规约也显露无遗。作为第一部有巴基斯坦空军官方介入背景的主旋律电影,《翱翔雄心》及它的姊妹篇《谢迪尔》(Sher Dil 2019)也显示出巴基斯坦新主流电影的成型和成熟。
