Communications of Staphylococcus aureus and non-aureus Staphylococcus species from bovine intramammary infections and teat apex colonization
(Elsevier, 2018-05-16)
The role of non-aureus staphylococci (NAS) in the risk of acquisition of intramammary infections with Staphylococcus aureus is vague and still under debate. The objectives of this study were to (1) ...
Thinning flat peaches with ethephon and its effect on endogenous ethylene production and fruit quality
(Elsevier, 2020-12-06)
Peach orchards are usually hand-thinned at around 40–60 days after bloom, but this practice is labor-intensive and costly. Ethylene plays a key role in peach fruitlet abscission and foliar applications ...

(Springer, 2022-03-25)
The Mediterranean brown trout (Salmo trutta complex) is native to basins draining to the Western Mediterranean Sea, and natural populations are currently declining in abundance and distribution due to ...
Supplementation of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) diets with spices as a functional strategy to control excess adiposity through lipid, cholesterol and bile acid metabolism, and to induce an immunomodulatory intestinal regulation
(Elsevier, 2023-11-17)
Reductions in fish oil content in aquafeeds can generate physiological and immunological disorders in farmed fish, associated to low dietary levels of n-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 ...
A cross-cultural perspective on impact of health and nutrition claims, country-of-origin and eco-label on consumer choice of new aquaculture products
(Elsevier, 2019-04-15)
Over the last decade, an increasing number of new value-added aquaculture products made their way onto the European market, as a response to growing demand for healthier diet, and more sustainable and ...
The relationship between ethylene- and oxidative-related markers at harvest with the susceptibility of pears to develop superficial scald
(Elsevier, 2020-01-28)
To better understand the specific biochemical pathways involved in superficial scald susceptibility, changes in ethylene biosynthesis, antioxidant, oxidative related processes and sugar metabolism were ...
Enhanced diversity of aquatic macroinvertebrate predators and biological pest control but reduced crop establishment in organic rice farming
(Elsevier, 2023-08-10)
Organic farming has been adopted as the main alternative to reduce the environmental impact of intensive agriculture by banning the use of synthetic inputs and bolstering key ecological functions such ...
Rootstock affects quality and phytochemical composition of 'Big Top' nectarine fruits grown under hot climatic conditions
(Elsevier, 2019-06-22)
This study aimed to evaluate the stability of ‘Big Top’ nectarine fruit quality (fruit weight, fruit mineral elements and fruit phytochemical composition such as soluble solids content, titratable ...
Meta-recommendation of pork technological quality standards
(Elsevier, 2021-08-05)
Pork quality classification is supported by different reference standards that are widely reported in the literature. However, selecting the most suitable standard for each type of meat samples remains ...
Assessing the textural defect of pastiness in dry-cured pork ham using chemical, microstructural, textural and ultrasonic analyses
(Elsevier, 2019-08-09)
The dry-cured pork ham industry lacks non-destructive quality control techniques able to characterize relevant textural defects, such as pastiness or softness. The aim of this study is to analyze the ...
