Prediction of tissue composition of live dairy calves and carcasses by computed tomography
(Elsevier, 2020-12-13)
Computed tomography (CT) is a non-destructive technique, based on X-rays, that has been used in several livestock species to evaluate carcass composition. The objective of this study was to construct ...
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, ...
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) protein as a prospective plant‐based ingredient: a review
(Wiley, 2021-03-24)
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most grown and consumed pulses and it is traditionally commercialised as seeds, flour or canned foods. In the frame of alternative protein sources, chickpea ...
Computer image analysis for intramuscular fat segmentation in dry-cured ham slices using convolutional neural networks
(Elsevier, 2019-06-12)
Determination of intramuscular fat (IMF) content in dry cured meats is critical because it affects the sensory quality and consumer's acceptability. Recently, deep learning has become one of the most ...
Update of the list of QPS‐recommended biological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 12: suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until March 2020
(Wiley Open Access, 2020-07-02)
The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) was developed to provide a generic safety evaluation for biological agents to support EFSA's Scientific Panels. It is based on an assessment of the taxonomic ...
Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activity of Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) and Garlic (Allium sativum) Essential Oils and Chipotle Pepper Oleoresin (Capsicum annum) on Beef Hamburgers
(MDPI, 2022-07-08)
The inclusion of natural ingredients to preserve meat and meat products has increased in recent years. This study evaluated rosemary (REO) and garlic essential oils (GEO) as well as chipotle pepper ...
Antimicrobial and antioxidant effects of combined high pressure processingand sage in beef burgers during prolonged chilled storage
(Elsevier, 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 ...
Potential BSE risk posed by the use of ruminant collagen and gelatine in feed for non‐ruminant farmed animals
(Wiley Open Access, 2020-10-28)
EFSA was requested to estimate the cattle bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) risk (C‐, L‐ and H‐BSE) posed by ruminant collagen and gelatine produced from raw material fit for human consumption, or ...
Pea protein ingredients: A mainstream ingredient to (re)formulate innovative foods and beverages
(Elsevier, 2021-02-25)
Backgroun: Pea (Pisum sativum) proteins are emerging as a popular alternative to those conventional (deriving from animal and soy) due to their high protein content with interesting functionality, ...
Predicting the carcass chemical composition and describing its growth in live pigs of different sexes using computed tomographys
(Elsevier, 2015-08-28)
The aims of this study were (1) to evaluate the ability of computed tomography (CT) to predict the chemical composition of live pigs and carcasses, (2) to compare the chemical composition of four different ...
