    Abstract Aim: The aim of the study was to estimate the relationship between bladder neck hypermobility as assessed by ultrasound and the occurrence of stress urinary incontinence as measured with the UDI-6 questionnaire in primiparous women 9-18 months postpartum.
    Materials and methods: The study included 100 women 9-18 months after their first delivery, 19% of whom (study group) presented with urethral hypermobility. Ultrasound was used to determine the position and mobility of the bladder neck in order to assess the urethral hypermobility. A vector of ≥15 mm was defined as urethral hypermobility. Symptoms of stress urinary incontinence were assessed using question 3 of the UDI-6 questionnaire, in which the presence of symptoms was defined as a response rated from 1 to 4.
    Results: We demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between urethral hypermobility and the symptoms of stress urinary incontinence with a statistical significance level of
    Conclusions: Stress urinary incontinence is a common disorder in women, the pathophysiology of which is not fully understood. It has adverse effects on the quality of life, perception of one's own body and sexual function. Impairment of urethral fixation may play an important role in the pathophysiology of this common form of urinary incontinence. The study showed that urethral hypermobility, as assessed by ultrasound, contributes to stress urinary incontinence, as measured with the UDI-6 score. Although stress urinary incontinence is a multifactorial disorder influenced by anatomical changes and congenital anatomical features, it is easily diagnosed. Suburethral slings are an effective surgical technique; however, the incidence of postoperative voiding dysfunction or recurrent stress urinary incontinence is 10-20%. Therefore, an assessment of anatomical changes in stress urinary incontinence may help individualize the surgical strategy.

    Abstract Different form of seeds (whole or ground) may have a gelling effect and can substitute pectin in jams, moreover the type of their form have a remarkable impact on jams quality. The objective of this study was to ascertain if the form of added seeds have an influence on the physicochemical and antioxidant properties of cranberry jams incorporated in gold flax and chia seeds. Compared to traditional cranberry jam, the addition of both chia and gold flax seeds to the jams enhanced the nutritional value of samples by significant increase in protein, dietary fiber and polyunsaturated fatty acids content. Moreover, the enrichment of cranberry jams with seeds caused an increase in total polyphenols and phenolic acids content as well as their antioxidant activities. The texture measurement showed that both chia and flax seeds (irrespectively of their form) exhibited a gelling properties, however, the jams with the addition of ground seeds were characterized by similar texture as the control cranberry jam. Based on the obtained results, both gold flax and chia seeds can be considered as promising substitute for the gelling agents which additionally can change the physicochemical and antioxidant properties of jams.

    Abstract BACKGROUND: Bovine hide underlayer is used to manufacture collagen casings for sausage production. Edible collagen casings and natural ovine casing (as a reference) were chosen for analysis. The collagen casings (intended for: A – breakfast sausages, B – scalded sausages and C – dried sausages) were manufactured with the use of glyoxal as a cross‐linking agent. The casings properties along with the quality of the sausages manufactured in those casings was analyzed. RESULTS: Casing A had a higher swelling capacity and water solubility, a* and b* color parameters, and wet elongation at break values, as well as a lower shrinking temperature. The remaining mechanical and water parameters were comparable to other collagen casings. The ovine casing contained more water, and was redder and less yellow compared to the collagen casings, whereas swelling, solubility and water vapor permeability were higher. The sausages in casing A were the softest and had the highest a* and b* color parameters. The results of the sensory analysis indicate that the sausages in casing B exhibited the highest quality on a three‐point scale among the tested sausages and were also the most acceptable for judges. The ovine casing was graded as the hardest during cutting and also when in the mouth. CONCLUSION: By contrast to the producer's descriptions, the collagen casings were similar with respect to many properties. The differences between sausages in collagen casings were not so distinct as might be expected. Despite our expectations, the sausages in the natural casing were not rated as the best compared to sausages in collagen casings in the sensory analysis. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

    Abstract This is the first such study in which a gelatin extract obtained from carp skins enriched with dry herbs (thyme or rosemary) has been prepared. Extracts prepared in such a manner were added to furcellaran coatings. Coatings were tested for their mechanical properties and the obtained results showed that the control coatings, and those with the addition of rosemary, had the best strength-related parameters. A new ready-to-cook product was evaluated with regard to the preservative effects of carp skin gelatin coatings containing rosemary and thyme extracts in terms of pH, biogenic amine formulation, microbial changes and sensorial characteristics. The coatings with added rosemary proved effective in inhibiting the formation of biogenic amines, and slowing down the microbial deterioration of carp fillets (reduction by 0.53 and 0.29 log cfu/g). The evaluated herb coatings changed the characteristic taste of fish. Interestingly, the coatings emphasized the natural saltiness of fish meat.

    Abstract In this work, UV-B irradiation, an environmentally friendly modification method, was applied to corn and potato carbohydrates. The influence of irradiation on starch properties was compared with that observed for starch oxidation with NaClO. The changes in the structures of starch carbohydrates were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and chromatographic methods. Functional properties such as viscosity, water binding capacity and solubility as well as pasting characteristics and thermodynamic parameters of gelatinization, resulting from structural changes were determined. UV-B irradiation was found to be a milder modification method than chemical oxidation. The potato carbohydrates, especially amylose, appeared to be more susceptible to changes upon irradiation, whereas corn ones, particularly amylopectin, were more stable and their properties changed to a smaller extent. Similarly, functional properties were not significantly influenced by UV-B treatment. EPR studies revealed the mechanism of depolymerization of starch carbohydrates via formation of stable carbon-centered radicals.

    Abstract In this study, we investigated the effects of furcellaran–gelatine (FUR/GEL) coatings incorporated with herb extracts on the quality retention of carp fish during refrigeration. Nutmeg, rosemary, thyme, milfoil, marjoram, parsley, turmeric, basil and ginger were subjected to water and ethanol extraction methods (10% concentration of herbs). The water extractions of the rosemary and thyme (5%) were used for the further development of coatings due to their high 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH: 85.49 and 83.28%) and Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power Assay values (FRAP: 0.46 and 0.56 mM/L) (p < 0.05), respectively. A new, ready-to-cook product with the coatings (carp fillets) was evaluated regarding quality in terms of colour parameters, texture profile, water activity, Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances (TBARSs) and sensory analyses during 12 days of storage at 4 °C. The results show that the colour of the carp fillets treated with the rosemary and thyme extracts became slightly darker and had a propensity towards redness and yellowness. In contrast to the control group, the carp fillets stored in the coatings with the rosemary extract effectively slowed the lipid oxidation processes. Therefore, the innovative coatings produced from carp processing waste may have high potential as components in convenience food products and could extend the shelf-life of carp fillets during refrigerated storage. However, further research is needed to assess the microbiological stability of the obtained food products.

    Abstract Starches isolated from pumpkin fruits, lentil and quinoa seeds were used to prepare edible films. Physicochemical, thermal and mechanical properties of films were determined and compared with potato-based starch (PS) film. It was found that botanical origin of starch has a crucial effect on the films properties. The much lower solubility and higher swelling capacity compared to PS film exhibited lentil and pumpkin starch-based films, respectively. All of the films exhibited significantly higher water vapor permeability compared to PS one. Tensile strength and elongation at break of the films varied between 8.98 and 13.85 MPa, and 3.35 to 4.44%, respectively. All of the films acted as a solid-like materials with prevalently elastic behavior and exhibited endothermic peaks in DSC measurement in the range of 249–281 °C, referred to the melting of films. This study demonstrated that starches from non-conventional sources are good alternative to conventional to develop edible films.
