Rooting big and deep rapidly: the ecological roots of pine species distribution in southern Europe
(Springer Verlag, 2018-10-09)
Root properties can influence plant drought resistance, and consequently plant species distribution. Root structure strongly varies across biomes partly as a result of phylogeny. However, whether the ...
Evaluation of postharvest calcium treatment and biopreservation with Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG on the quality of fresh-cut ‘Conference’ pears
(Wiley, 2018-03-25)
BACKGROUND
Biological preservation with probiotic bacteria has arisen as an alternative to control the growth of foodborne pathogens on food. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of ...
Assessment of different methods for shadow detection in high-resolution optical imagery and evaluation of shadow impact on calculation of NDVI, and evapotranspiration
(Springer Verlag, 2018-12-03)
Significant efforts have been made recently in the application of high-resolution remote sensing imagery (i.e., sub-meter) captured by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for precision agricultural applications ...
Enhanced shelf-life of the formulated biocontrol agent Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CPA-8 combining diverse packaging strategies and storage conditions
(Elsevier, 2018-10-17)
Two effective biocontrol products (named as BA3 and BA4) based on Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CPA-8 have been reported as a potential alternative to chemical applications against brown rot caused by ...
Methane potential of fruit and vegetable waste: an evaluation of the semi-continuous anaerobic mono-digestion
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-09-02)
The anaerobic digestion (AD) of a high diversity blend of fruit and vegetable waste (FVW) generated in tropical conditions as a single substrate was performed. A continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) ...
Soil microclimate changes affect soil fungal communities in a Mediterranean pine forest
(Wiley, 2018-05-14)
Soil microclimate is a potentially important regulator of the composition of plant‐associated fungal communities in climates with significant drought periods. Here, we investigated the spatio‐temporal ...
Mycoplasma conjunctivae in insect vectors and anatomic locations related to transmission and persistence
(Elsevier, 2018-11-12)
Mycoplasma conjunctivae is an obligate microparasite that causes Infectious Keratoconjunctivitis (IKC) in Caprinae species. IKC is a long-recognised disease, but little attention has been paid to the ...
Effect of proteolysis index level on instrumental adhesiveness, free amino acids content and volatile compounds profile of dry-cured ham
(Elsevier, 2018-03-02)
Defective textures in dry-cured ham are a common problem that causes important economic losses in the ham industry. An increase of proteolysis during the dry-cured ham processing may lead to high ...
Emulsion gels containing n-3 fatty acids and condensed tannins designed as functional fat replacers
(Elsevier, 2018-07-30)
The purpose of this study was to ascertain the potential of several food-grade emulsion (O/W) gels (GEs) for use as healthier fat replacers. The emulsions, formulated with a lipid phase rich in n-3 fatty ...
Feasibility study of smartphone-based Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) for salted minced meat composition diagnostics at different temperatures
(Elsevier, 2018-11-10)
This research work evaluates the feasibility of a smartphone-based spectrometer (740–1070 nm) for salted minced meat composition diagnostics at industrial scale. A commercially available smartphone-based ...
