The typical red colour of paprika salamis is a very important quality attribute but it is also very susceptible to oxidation. Rosemary extracts and lycopene appear to be efficient antioxidants for dry fermented sausages. The complicated structure of dried sausages with different kinetics of colour changes was evaluated using VIA software NIS-Elements 2.20 and lightness L*, redness a*, yellowness b*, mean red (R), mean green (G), and mean blue (B) were measured; the ratio of red r = R/(R + G + B) and hue h = arctg (a*/b*) were calculated. The addition of rosemary extract has positively affected the colour and suppressed lipid oxidation in both meat and lard particles in the paprika salami. Even more satisfactory results were obtained by adding both the rosemary extract and lycopene. Video image analysis enabled to perform colour measurements of meat and lard particles separately, which could not be done by any available method (reflective spectrophotometry).

Bacteria can be examined by fluorescent microscopy, using the flurochrome dye acridine orange (AO) which distinguishes between viable (green) and nonviable (red-orange) organisms. (Fig. 1) The colour changes when increased amounts of AO intercalate with the phosphate sugar backbone of DNA, as it becomes denatured. This metachromatic shift can be used in phagocytosis studies to record viability and monitor killing of ingested bacteria. To avoid counting extracellular bacteria, crystal violet (CV) is used subsequently to quench the fluorescence in the external environment. At supravital concentration (0.05%) CV enters the prokaryotic cells, but will not penetrate the eukaryotic phagocytes. This study establishes the reliability of counting viable and nonviable cells by AO fluorescence in comparison to conventional methods; studies the kinetics of phagocytosis by polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) and monocytes; optimizes the test conditions; evaluates a phagocytic base line in normal individuals and determines if deliberate interference of some phagocytic parameter, such as inhibition of killing, can be recognized by AO-CV assay.

Colour is one of the pharameters determining the quality of dried tomatoes. The changes in colour of the skin of tomatoes during drying in an experimental dryer at various temperatures were measured every two hours by using Minolta CR 200 colorimeter and the colours were represented in Hunter-<em>Lab</em> scale. The objective of this research was develop a model for predicting colour changes of tomatoes during drying. The decrease in darkness as represented by dL value varied from 10 to 16%, while decrease in chroma value (dL) varied from 20 to 37% of initial values. An empirical logarithmic equation with six constants was derived to fit the data of chroma changes during drying at various temperature and times. The model of colour change of tomatoes can be used for determining the optimum drying temperature to produce acceptable colour of dried tomatoes at reasonable cost.
