(Elsevier, 2023-11-10)
This study sought to evaluate pig carcass grading, describing the existing approaches and definitions, and highlighting the vision for overall quality grading. In particular, the current state of pig ...
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 ...

Assessing consumers' preferences for beef and lamb meat linked to wildfire prevention services
(Elsevier, 2023-09-19)
Meat from silvopastoral systems, due to its provision of numerous ecosystem services such as wildfire risk reduction in Mediterranean forests, can address societal growing demands for meat produced with ...
High hydrostatic pressure enhances the formation of oleocanthal and oleacein in ‘Arbequina’ olive fruit
(Elsevier, 2023-10-30)
During olive oil production, the activity of endogenous enzymes plays a crucial role in determining the oil’s
phenolic composition. β-Glucosidase contributes to the formation of secoiridoids, while ...
