Effects of steaming on contaminants of emerging concern levels in seafood
(Elsevier, 2018-05-19)
Seafood consumption is a major route for human exposure to environmental contaminants of emerging concern (CeCs). However, toxicological information about the presence of CeCs in seafood is still ...
Screening of eco-friendly thinning agents and adjusting mechanical thinning on ‘Gala’, ‘Golden Delicious’ and ‘Fuji’ apple trees
(Elsevier, 2018-05-30)
Fruit thinning is the most important yet difficult practice that drives orchard profitability. High labor costs and difficulty to improve return bloom by hand thinning have left chemical thinning as the ...
Price transmission dynamics for quality‐certified food products: A comparison between conventional and organic fluid milk in Italy
(Wiley, 2018-06-25)
Despite the vast number of works investigating price transmission (PT) processes in diverse agrifood markets, very little has been said about quality‐differentiated products. In this paper, we compare ...
Using plant, microbe, and soil fauna traits to improve the predictive power of biogeochemical models
(Wiley, 2018-09-11)
Process‐based models describing biogeochemical cycling are crucial tools to understanding long‐term nutrient dynamics, especially in the context of perturbations, such as climate and land‐use change. ...
Decontamination of fresh-cut broccoli with a water–assisted UV-C technology and its combination with peroxyacetic acid
(Elsevier, 2018-05-29)
The effectiveness of a water-assisted UV-C (WUV) technology for the decontamination of fresh-cut broccoli fromconventional and organic agricultural practices was evaluated as an alternative to chlorine ...
A review of the use of convolutional neural networks in agriculture
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-06-25)
Deep learning (DL) constitutes a modern technique for image processing, with large potential. Having been successfully applied in various areas, it has recently also entered the domain of agriculture. ...
Effects of a participatory approach, with systematic impact matrix analysis in herd health planning in organic dairy cattle herds
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-08-10)
The animal health and welfare status in European organic dairy production does not in all aspects meet the organic principles and
consumers’ expectations and needs to be improved. To achieve this, ...
Use of Ultra-High Pressure Homogenization processing in winemaking:Control of microbial populations in grape musts and effects in sensory quality
(Elsevier, 2018-10-06)
Ultra-High Pressure Homogenization (UHPH) is a fast and efficient technique that can sterilizefluid foods at lowtemperatures or even under cooling conditions. A white must (Vitis viniferaL.) was processed ...
Bacterial inclusion bodies are industrially exploitable amyloids
(Oxford University Press, 2018-10-24)
Understanding the structure, functionalities and biology of functional amyloids is an issue of emerging interest. Inclusion bodies, namely protein clusters formed in recombinant bacteria during protein ...
Resequencing theVrs1 gene in Spanish barley landraces revealed reversion of six-rowed to two-rowed spike
(Springer, 2018-04-12)
Six-rowed spike 1 (Vrs1) is a gene of major importance for barley breeding and germplasm management as it is the main gene determining spike row-type (2-rowed vs. 6-rowed). This is a widely used DUS ...
