Computed tomography and predictive microbiology for non-invasive evaluation of the impact of dry-cured ham production process conditions on the behaviour of Listeria monocytogenes and Clostridium botulinum
(Elsevier, 2023-05-10)
Variability of salt content in dry-cured ham production can pose microbiological food safety issues, especially in salt reduced and/or non-nitrified products. In this regard, computed tomography (CT) ...
Near infrared sensors for the precise characterization of salt content in canned tuna fish
(Elsevier, 2023-07-28)
Non-invasive technologies could help to guarantee quality standards of canned tuna fish. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of bench-top (FT-NIR) and low-cost (LC-NIR) near infrared ...
Co-extruded alginate as an alternative to collagen casings in the production of dry-fermented sausages: Impact of coating composition
(Elsevier, 2020-05-16)
The performance of co-extruded alginate coatings containing no extra additives (A), polyglycerol esters of fatty acids (EA), or pea protein (PA) was assessed as an alternative to collagen casings (C) ...
Modeling of radio frequency heating of packed fluid foods moving on a conveyor belt: A case study for tomato puree
(Elsevier, 2023-05-20)
Computer simulation models were used to study radiofrequency heating of liquid foods moving on a conveyor belt between staggered-through field electrodes of non-uniform electric field distribution. ...
Growth and Non-Thermal Inactivation of Staphylococcus aureus in Sliced Dry-Cured Ham in Relation to Water Activity, Packaging Type and Storage Temperature
(MDPI, 2023-05-30)
Dry-cured ham (DCH) could support the growth of Staphylococcus aureus as a halotolerant bacterium, which may compromise the shelf-stability of the product according to the growth/no growth boundary ...
Emerging thermal imaging techniques for seed quality evaluation: Principles and applications
(Elsevier, 2020-01-22)
Due to the massive progress occurred in the past few decades in imaging, electronics and computer
science, infrared thermal imaging technique has witnessed numerous technological advancement and

Combined Effect of Temperature and Oil and Salt Contents on the Variation of Dielectric Properties of a Tomato-Based Homogenate
(MDPI, 2021-12-16)
Tomato-based processed foods are a key component of modern diets, usually combined with salt and olive oil in different ratios. For the design of radiofrequency (RF) and microwave (MW) heating processes ...
Dielectric Heating: A Review of Liquid Foods Processing Applications
(Taylor and Francis, 2022-07-01)
Dielectric heating is one of the most promising alternatives to conventional thermal treatment of fluid foods. Higher thermal efficiency and better heating uniformity of radio frequency and microwave ...
Radio frequency cooking of pork hams followed with conventional steam cooking
(Elsevier, 2020-01-27)
Radio frequency (RF) is a volumetric heating technology that reduces the time needed to cook foodstuffs, but heating is not evenly distributed. The aim of this work was to develop a two-step cooking ...
Precise nutritional labelling of sliced packaged dry-cured ham using multi-energy X-ray absorptiometry
(Elsevier, 2023-06-21)
New consumer demands have increased the need for improved food processing and new value-added products that meet the latest quality standards. Changes in eating habits may lead to a preference for lower ...
