Update of the list of QPS-recommended biological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 14: suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until March 2021
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-07-07)
The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) approach was developed to provide a regularly updated generic pre-evaluation of the safety of biological agents, intended for addition to food or feed, to support ...
Can innovations in traditional pork products help thriving EU untapped pig breeds? A non-hypothetical discrete choice experiment with hedonic evaluation
(Elsevier, 2019-04-11)
The EU is supporting measures that stimulate enhanced value-added products in order to conserve local and threatened livestock breeds. Several Traditional Pork Products (TPP) and Innovative Traditional ...
Effects of a high-fat-diet supplemented with probiotics and ω3-fatty acids on appetite regulatory neuropeptides and neurotransmitters in a pig model
(Wageningen Academic Publishers, 2020-07-28)
The pig is a valuable animal model to study obesity in humans due to the physiological similarity between humans and pigs in terms of digestive and associated metabolic processes. The dietary use of ...
Linking sensory and proton transfer reaction–mass spectrometry analyses for the assessment of melon fruit (Cucumis melo L.) quality traits
(Springer, 2020-05-05)
Sixty-seven samples of ten melon types (Cucumis melo L.) were evaluated to determine the relationship between their quality traits: sensory attributes, pH, soluble solids, and volatile organic compounds. ...
Consumer liking of M. longissimus lumborum from New Zealand pasture-finished lamb is influenced by intramuscular fat
(Elsevier, 2020-11-22)
Palatability of meat is known to be affected by intramuscular fat (IMF), but the effect in relatively low-fat New Zealand lamb is unknown. This study evaluated the eating quality of 108 loins (M. ...
CD36 gene polymorphism -31118 G > A (rs1761667) is associated with overweight and obesity but not with fat preferences in Mexican children
(Hogrefe, 2020-05-18)
CD36 glycoprotein is a candidate receptor involved in the gustatory detection of lipids and emerging evidence has suggested that genetic variations in CD36 may modulate the oral perception threshold to ...
Dietary silage supplement modifies fatty acid composition and boar taint in pork fat
(The Journal of National Research Institute of Animal Production, 2021-11-20)
In organic pig husbandry, the use of roughage is mandatory as dietary supplement. This study investigated the effects of oat silage on the fatty acid composition, in entire males and gilts, as well as ...
Sensory Complexity: From Sensory Measurement to Consumption Behavior
(MDPI, 2022-12-21)
Sensory analysis is a multidisciplinary field that includes the measurement, interpretation,
and understanding of human responses to the sensory properties of products and
it is essential to explore ...
Synthesis of polylactic acid initiated through biobased antioxidants: Towards intrinsically active food packaging
(MDPI, 2020-05-21)
Polylactide (PLA)-based polymers, functionalized with biobased antioxidants, were synthesized, to develop an intrinsically active, biobased and potentially biodegradable material for food packaging ...
The Use of Pork from Entire Male and Immunocastrated Pigs for Meat Products—An Overview with Recommendations
(MDPI, 2020-09-26)
Due to the strong public initiative in Europe and increased regulator focus to mitigate pain, surgical castration of pigs is being gradually abandoned, while the importance of other sex categories like ...
