Original Abstract of the Article :
The biopreservative effect of Ephedra alata aqueous extract (EAE), used at 0.156, 0.312 and 0.624%, on minced beef meat was evaluated by microbiological, physicochemical and sensory analyses during storage at 4 °C for 14 days. The results showed that EAE significantly (P < .05) delayed the formation...See full text at original site

Ephedra alata Extract for Preserving Minced Beef

Maintaining the quality of meat products during storage is a critical challenge. This research investigates the potential of Ephedra alata aqueous extract (EAE) as a natural preservative for extending the shelf life of minced beef meat. The researchers evaluated the effects of EAE on the microbiological, physicochemical, and sensory properties of minced beef stored at 4°C for 14 days.

Natural Preservatives for Food Quality

The study demonstrates that EAE can effectively preserve minced beef meat by delaying lipid and protein oxidation, extending its shelf life and maintaining its quality. These findings highlight the potential of natural preservatives like EAE as a viable alternative to synthetic additives in the food industry.

Food Preservation: A Balance of Flavor and Safety

Just as a camel relies on its ability to store water and nutrients for long journeys, food preservation methods are essential for maintaining the quality and safety of our food. This study explores the use of natural preservatives like EAE, offering a sustainable and potentially healthier approach to food preservation.

Dr. Camel's Conclusion

This study examines the potential of Ephedra alata aqueous extract (EAE) as a natural preservative for extending the shelf life of minced beef meat. The research highlights the efficacy of EAE in delaying lipid and protein oxidation, suggesting its potential as a viable alternative to synthetic preservatives in the food industry.
