Abstract
The objective of the study was to assess the impact of raising systems and thermal processing methods on colour parameters and shear force. The study was conducted on the breast and leg muscles of Ross 308 broiler chickens from two different raising systems, with chickens from group A being held on littered indoor, while those in group B were on free-range with access to paddocks. The muscles were put through thermal processing, involving boiling (I) and baking (II) until the meat internal temperature achieved 820C. The influence of the raising system on the colour of the raw muscle was observed. It was found that both the breast and leg muscles of chickens held in free-range had characteristically darker colour, as evidenced by the significantly higher (p<0.05) colour saturation of red (a*) and yellow (b*). Lower mechanical resistance, measured by cutting force (p<0.05), had breast muscles (16.25 N) and leg muscles (19.21 N) from chickens kept without access to free-range compared to the breast muscles (14.37 N) and leg muscles (17.77 N ) from chickens with access to free-range. Raising system and thermal processing methods had impact on the varied colouration of the breast and leg muscles. Breast muscles from chickens held in indoor system but subjected to boiling processes were characterized by brighter colour. The thermal processing methods applied had significant impact (p<0.05) on the maximal shear force of the investigated muscles. Boiling muscles were characterized by lower shear force, which is better texture. It has been shown (p<0.05) the impact of the raising system on the value of the maximum shear force of breast muscles.

A new method and equipment for the detection of presence and estimation of the content of the petroleum-based fraction in lubricating oils, especially those emitted to the atmosphere
Lubricating oil, used in cutting equipment, works in the so-called open lubrication system and is entirely emitted to the environment. When such an oil contains even a small portion of the crude oil-derived fraction, whi...
