Aflatoxin production in meats. II. Aged dry salamis and aged country cured hams.

Italian-type salamis contaminated with Aspergillus flavus were more likely to develop aflatoxins during aging than were smoked Hungarian-type salamis under the same conditions. Temperatures below 15 C and humidities of less than 75% were found to prevent aflatoxin development during the aging of salami. The aging of salami for 8 weeks and the presence of curing ingredients, especially pepper and sodium nitrite, tended to reduce the amounts of aflatoxins found. Aflatoxins were produced by A. flavus and A. parasiticus on 6- to 9-month-old country cured hams during aging when the temperature approached 30 C.

Bacteriological survey of fresh pork sausage produced at establishments under Federal inspection.

At the time of manufacture, 75% of 67 sets of finished fresh pork sausage collected in 44 plants had aerobic plate counts in the range of 500,000 or fewer/g; 88% contained 100 or fewer E. coli/g; and 75% contained 100 or fewer S. aureus/g (geometric means of 10 samples). Salmonellae were isolated from 28% of 529 samples of pork trimmings used for sausage, and from 28% of 560 finished sausage samples. Semiquantitative analysis revealed that salmonellae were at low levels; more than 80% of the salmonellae-positive samples were positive only in 25-g portions (negative in 1.0- and 0.1-g portions).

Mycotoxin-producing strains of Penicillium viridicatum: classification into subgroups.

Fifty-two isolates of Penicillium viridicatum Westling were divided into three groups based on ability to produce ochratoxin and/or citrinin, color, growth rate, type of growth, odor, and isolation source. Members of group I resemble one of the representative strains of P. viridicatum described in the literature; those belonging to group II differ from group I strains in several characteristics; group III is a heterogeneous series of highly variable isolates. Although three subgroupings can be recognized, retention of all isolates in the species P. viridicatum is deemed most appropriate at this time. Spore macerates of all isolates were examined for virus-like particles but none were detected.

Lead poisoning in Gurkha soldiers in Hong Kong.

Investigation of an outbreak of lead-poisoning in 121 Gurkha soldiers showed that this was due to the contamination of chilli powder (cayenne pepper), a constituent of curry powder, with lead chromate. Comprehensive systems of food sampling are needed in developing communities.

Effect of red chilli powder on DNA content of gastric aspirates.

The intragastric infusion of red chilli powder in dosage of 1.6 and 0.8 g/hr caused a marked increase in the DNA content of the gastric aspirate compared with basal values for DNA. This observation suggests a rapid and marked exfoliation of gastric surface epithelial cells in human subjects given red chilli powder.

Chronic upper abdominal pain: site and radiation in various structural and functional disorders and the effect of various foods.

Pain site and radiation and the effect of various foods were studied prospectively in a consecutive series of patients with chronic upper abdominal pain. Patients followed for less than one year were excluded unless peptic ulcer or abdominal malignancy had been diagnosed or laparotomy had been carried out. A total of 632 patients were eligible for the first study and 431 for the second. Gastric ulcer pain was more likely to be left hypochondrial (17%) compared with pain from duodenal ulcer (4%) or from all other conditions (5%). It was less likely to be epigastric (54%) compared with duodenal ulcer pain (75%). Oesophageal pain was more likely to be both retrosternal and epigastric (25%) compared with non-oesophageal pain (2%). Radiation to the back was more common in peptic ulcer (31%) and biliary pain (35%) compared with functional pain (20%). Pain precipitation by fatty foods was commoner in biliary disease (40%) than in duodenal ulcer (11%), peptic ulcer (9%), or non-ulcer dyspepsia (19%). Orange, alcohol, and coffee precipitated pain more frequently in duodenal ulcer (41%, 50%, and 43% respectively) than in biliary disease (17%, 0%, and 14% respectively). Chilli precipitated pain in one quarter to one half of subjects regardless of diagnosis. Approximately one tenth of all subjects avoided chilli, curry, coffee, and tea because of medical or other advice.
