Consumer liking of M. longissimus lumborum from New Zealand pasture-finished lamb is influenced by intramuscular fat
(Elsevier, 2020-11-22)
Palatability of meat is known to be affected by intramuscular fat (IMF), but the effect in relatively low-fat New Zealand lamb is unknown. This study evaluated the eating quality of 108 loins (M. ...
Synthesis of polylactic acid initiated through biobased antioxidants: Towards intrinsically active food packaging
(MDPI, 2020-05-21)
Polylactide (PLA)-based polymers, functionalized with biobased antioxidants, were synthesized, to develop an intrinsically active, biobased and potentially biodegradable material for food packaging ...
Exploratory survey on European consumer and Stakeholder attitudes towards alternatives for surgical castration of piglets
(MDPI, 2020-09-28)
Surgical castration of piglets without pain relief is still common practice in many countries. Possible alternatives for surgical castration are application of pain relief or anaesthesia or production ...
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) ...
Selection of representative hyperspectral data and image pretreatment for model development in heterogeneous samples: A case study in sliced dry-cured ham
(Elsevier, 2020-12-05)
Sliced dry-cured ham arranged in ready-to-eat packages is a convenient and widely consumed commodity characterised by heterogeneity in composition not only among different industrial batches but also ...
Processing parameters involved in the development of texture and tyrosine precipitates in dry-cured ham: Modelisation of texture development
(Elsevier, 2020-10-30)
The aim of this study was to quantify the effects of different processing parameters on texture development and the incidence of white film and tyrosine crystals in dry-cured ham. Hams were dry-salted ...
To Provide a Double Feeder in Growing Pigs Housed under High Environmental Temperatures Reduces Social Interactions but Does Not Improve Weight Gains
(MDPI, 2020-11-30)
Heat stress and competition for food are two major challenges in pigs reared in intensive
conditions. The aim of the present work was to study the e ect of providing a double feeder for pigs
reared ...
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 ...
Effectiveness of specularity removal from hyperspectral images on the quality of spectral signatures of food products
(Elsevier, 2020-05-24)
Specularity or highlight problem exists widely in hyperspectral images, provokes reflectance deviation from its true value, and can hide major defects in food objects or detecting spurious false defects ...
Effect of the sodium reduction and smoking system on quality and safety of smoked salmon (Salmo salar)
(Elsevier, 2020-07-05)
Excessive sodium (Na) intake has been associated with high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, sodium reduction is a public health challenge worldwide. The aim of this study was to ...
