Dielectric properties of milk during ultra-heat treatment
(Journal of Food Engineering, 2017-09-27)
Dielectric properties are important for predicting dielectric heating of foodstuffs. The dielectric properties of three types of milk (raw, skimmed and concentrated non-fat) were analyzed at high frequencies between 10 MHz ...
Consumer acceptance of minced meat patties from boars in four European countries
(Meat Science, 2017-11-28)
A consumer study was performed in four EU countries to further clarify the acceptability of meat with boar taint. In Denmark, France, Italy and Poland, a total of 476 female consumers evaluated 8 meat patties from boars ...
Reduction of androstenone perception in pan‐fried boar meat by different masking strategies
(Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2017-10-05)
BACKGROUND
Consumers highly sensitive to androstenone María (AND) will probably reject meat from entire male pigs, which tends to have high levels of this hormone. To avoid this, the effect of different masking strategies ...
Comparative proteomic profiling of myofibrillar proteins in dry-cured ham with different proteolysis indices and adhesiveness
(Elsevier, 2017-10-12)
Excessive proteolysis during dry-cured ham processing may lead to high adhesiveness and consumer dissatisfaction. The aim of this research is to identify biomarkers for proteolysis and adhesiveness. Two hundred biceps ...
Occurrence of pyrrolizidine alkaloids in animal- and plant-derived food: results of a survey across Europe
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-09-25)
Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are secondary metabolites of plant families such as Asteraceae or Boraginaceae and are suspected to be genotoxic carcinogens. Recent investigations revealed their frequent occurrence in honey ...
Check-All-That-Apply (CATA) with semi-trained assessors: Sensory profiles closer to descriptive analysis or consumer elicited data?
(Food Quality and Preference, 2017-10-16)
Check-All-That-Apply (CATA) is a simple and fast sensory profiling tool. Yet, its application has been mainly focused on consumer studies; the aim of this study was to evaluate the application of CATA with semi-trained ...
Active packaging applications for food
(Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, 2017-11-28)
The traditional role of food packaging is continuing to evolve in response to changing market needs. Current drivers such as consumer's demand for safer, “healthier,” and higher‐quality foods, ideally with a long shelf‐life; ...
MLVA subtyping of Listeria monocytogenes isolates from meat products and meat processing plants
(Elsevier, 2017-12-22)
Listeria monocytogenes is widely distributed in meat products and the meat-processing industry thus posing a risk to consumers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of the multilocus variable-number ...
Next generation of microbiological risk assessment: Potential of omics data for exposure assessment
(International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2017-10-04)
In food safety and public health risk evaluations, microbiological exposure assessment plays a central role as it provides an estimation of both the likelihood and the level of the microbial hazard in a specified consumer ...
Potential sensitivity of pork production situations aiming at high-quality products to the use of entire male pigs as an alternative to surgical castrates
(Animal, 2017-11-16)
The perspective of a possible ban on surgical castration of male pigs in the EU is a real challenge for pork production systems
aiming at (very) high-quality products. Information was collected from a total of 272 situations ...
