Influence of pork liver drying on ferrochelatase activity for zinc protoporphyrin formation
(LWT - Food Science and Technology, 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 ... -
Can sensory boar taint levels be explained by fatty acid composition and emitted volatile organic compounds in addition to androstenone and skatole content?
(Meat Science, 2022-09-16)This study aimed at understanding which molecules were responsible for the differences existing in boar taint sensory evaluation. The latter was therefore linked to the results of skatole and androstenone ... -

Modeling microRNA-driven post-transcriptional regulation using exon–intron split analysis in pigs
(Animal Genetics, 2022-07-10)The contribution of microRNAs (miRNAs) to mRNA post-transcriptional regulation has often been explored by the post hoc selection of downregulated genes and determining whether they harbor binding sites ... -
The Effects of the Cultivar and Environment on the Phenolic Contents of Hazelnut Kernels
(Plants, 2022-11-11)Different climatic conditions are known to affect the synthesis of primary and secondary metabolites. Therefore, the phenolic contents in new growing areas could affect the quality and flavor of hazelnuts. ... -
Aromatic, Sensory, and Fatty Acid Profiles of Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oils Produced Using Different Malaxation Conditions
(Foods, 2022-10-30)The demand for high-quality extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is growing due to its unique characteristics. The aroma and flavor of EVOO depend on its content of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), whose ... -
Transmission of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) during animal transport
(EFSA Journal, 2022-10-25)The transmission of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) between food-producing animals (poultry, cattle and pigs) during short journeys (< 8 h) and long journeys (> 8 h) directed to other farms or to the ... -
