Intramuscular fat content in different muscles, locations, weights and genotype-sexes and its prediction in live pigs with computed tomography
(Animal, 2018-08-16)
Intramuscular fat (IMF) content depends on sex, genotype and diet and varies with pig growth. The aim of the present work was to determine the evolution of IMF by genotype-sex, muscle and muscle location, to determine ...
On-line Ham Grading using pattern recognition models based on available data in commercial pig slaughterhouses
(Meat Science, 2018-04-13)
The thickness of the subcutaneous fat in hams is one of the most important factors for the dry-curing process and largely determines its final quality. This parameter is usually measured in slaughterhouses by a manual ...
Zinc-protoporphyrin content in commercial Parma hams is affected by proteolysis index and marbling
(Meat Science, 2018-02-01)
The contents of zinc-protoporphyrin (ZnPP) and heme in twenty-four sliced Parma hams made without the addition of curing agents were determined. Expressed on a dry weight basis, ZnPP averaged 45 mg/kg and ranged from 23 ...
Effects of breed‐production system on collagen, textural, and sensory traits of 10 European beef cattle breeds
(Journal of Texture Studies, 2018-06-23)
In the current study the collagen, texture, and sensory characteristics of meat from 712 yearling males of 10 local Spanish and French beef breeds raised in their typical production systems were described. The breed‐production ...
Influence of surfactants and proteins on the properties of wet edible calcium alginate meat coatings
(Food Research International, 2018-04-03)
Calcium alginate structures are of interest as replacers for natural casings due to their high availability, biodegradability and low price. The aim of this paper is to study the effect of oil, surfactants and proteins ...
A validated ultra-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection coupled to electrospray ionization and triple quadrupole mass spectrometry method to simultaneously quantify taurine, homotaurine, hypotaurine and amino acids in macro- and microalgae
(Journal of Chromatography A, 2018-12-26)
A fast and reliable method for the simultaneous quantification of Taurine, Homotaurine, Hypotaurine and 19 amino acids in algae samples by Ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array and tandem mass ...
Antimicrobial and antioxidant effects of combined high pressure processingand sage in beef burgers during prolonged chilled storage
(Innovative Food Science and Emerging Technologies, 2018-04-17)
The combined effect of sage (0.3 and 0.6%) and high pressure processing (HPP) [300 MPa (10 min, 9.9 °C) and 600 MPa (10 min, 10.2 °C)] on the antimicrobial and antioxidant characteristics of beef burgers during prolonged ...
Emulsion gels containing n-3 fatty acids and condensed tannins designed as functional fat replacers
(Food Research International, 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 acids and different ...
Application of temperature and ultrasound as corrective measures to decrease the adhesiveness in dry-cured ham. Influence on free amino acid and volatile compound profile
(Elsevier, 2018-08-04)
The impact of low temperature treatment and its combination with ultrasound has been evaluated in order to correct texture defects in dry-cured hams. A total of 26 dry-cured hams, classified as high proteolysis index ...
Domestic refrigerator temperatures in Spain: Assessment of its impact on the safety and shelf-life of cooked meat products
(Food Research International, 2019-07-22)
Temperature is one of the main factors governing the growth of microorganisms. The aim of the present study was to provide temperature conditions representative of the food products stored in domestic refrigerators and to ...
