Valorisation of pork by-products to obtain antioxidant and antihypertensive peptides
(Elsevier, 2023-05-12)
The porcine liver could be used for the extraction of zinc-protoporphyrin (ZnPP) as a natural red meat pigment. During the autolysis process, porcine liver homogenates was incubated at pH 4.8 and 45 °C ...
Fatty acid composition and parasitism of European sardine (Sardina pilchardus) and anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) populations in the northern Catalan Sea in the context of changing environmental conditions
(Society for Experimental Biology, 2020-12-29)
The status of sardine and anchovy populations in the northern Mediterranean Sea has been declining in recent decades. In this study, fatty acids and parasitism at different reproductive and feeding ...
Influence of pork liver drying on ferrochelatase activity for zinc protoporphyrin formation
(Elsevier, 2022-10-27)
Pork liver contains an endogenous enzyme, ferrochelatase (FeCH), which catalyses the formation of zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP), a natural pigment of great interest for the meat industry. The aim of this ...
Zinc Protoporphyrin-Rich Pork Liver Homogenates as Coloring Ingredients in Nitrite-Free Liver Pâtés
(MDPI, 2024-02-09)
This study aimed to investigate the coloring ingredient potential of liver homogenates that form Zn protoporphyrin (ZnPP), a natural red pigment, after anaerobic incubation. Liver homogenates were used ...
Dynamics of Microbial Communities in Nitrite-Free and Nutritionally Improved Dry Fermented Sausages
(MDPI, 2023-04-21)
Dry fermented sausage innovation trends are linked to consumer preferences for clean label and sodium-reduced foods. This study aims to evaluate the effect of the formulation and production process ...
Role of Enzymatic Reactions in Meat Processing and Use of Emerging Technologies for Process Intensification
(MDPI, 2023-05-10)
Meat processing involves different transformations in the animal muscle after slaughtering, which results in changes in tenderness, aroma and colour, determining the quality of the final meat product. ...
Influence of ultrasonic application on the enzymatic formation of zinc protoporphyrin
(Elsevier, 2023-02-03)
Ferrochelatase (FeCH), present in pork liver, catalyses the formation of zinc-protoporphyrin (ZnPP), a stable purple-red pigment found in Parma ham. Kinetics of ZnPP formation is especially slow. Thus, ...
Utilization of Porcine Livers through the Formation of Zn-Protoporphyrin Pigment Optimized by a Response Surface Methodology
(MDPI, 2023-05-06)
There is a growing demand for clean-label products. This study aimed to obtain a food-grade coloring ingredient for meat products based on the formation of Zn-protoporphyrin from porcine livers, thus ...
Application of emerging technologies to obtain legume protein isolates with improved techno-functional properties and health effects
(Wiley, 2022-03-26)
Current demand of consumers for healthy and sustainable food products has led the industry to search for different sources of plant protein isolates and concentrates. Legumes represent an excellent ...
Formation of Zn-protoporphyrin during the elaboration process of non-nitrified serrano dry-cured hams and its relationship with lipolysis
(Elsevier, 2021-12-03)
This study assessed the ZnPP content, heme content, salt content, and instrumental color in the biceps femoris and semimembranosus muscles during the elaboration of Serrano dry-cured ham manufactured ...
