Assessing the textural defect of pastiness in dry-cured pork ham using chemical, microstructural, textural and ultrasonic analyses
(Elsevier, 2019-08-09)
The dry-cured pork ham industry lacks non-destructive quality control techniques able to characterize relevant textural defects, such as pastiness or softness. The aim of this study is to analyze the ...
A comprehensive study on the main physiological and biochemical changes occurring during growth and on-tree ripening of two apple varieties with different postharvest behaviour
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)
Apple quality and the storage potential likely depend on a range of physiological and biochemical events occurring throughout fruit development and ripening. In this study, we investigated the major ...
Physiochemical and nutritional characteristics, bioaccessibility and sensory acceptance of baked crackers containing broccoli co‐products
(Wiley, 2018-08-09)
The effects of the inclusion of broccoli co-products into crackers on the bioaccessibility as well as theiroverall physical and nutritional quality were evaluated. Crackers were formulated using a 12.5 ...
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 ...
Strategies to reduce microbial risk and improve quality of fresh andprocessed strawberries: A review
(Elsevier, 2019-01-03)
Strawberries are one of the most important fruits in the Mediterranean diet and have been widely investigated for their nutritional and nutraceutical properties. Concern about the safety of fresh and ...
Modelling the interaction of the sakacin-producing Lactobacillus sakei CTC494 and Listeria monocytogenes in filleted gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) under modified atmosphere packaging at isothermal and non-isothermal conditions
(Elsevier, 2019-03-06)
The objective of this work was to quantitatively evaluate the effect of Lactobacillus sakei CTC494 (sakacin-producing bioprotective strain) against Listeria monocytogenes in fish juice and to apply and ...
New insights on Listeria monocytogenes growth in pressurised cooked ham: A piezo-stimulation effect enhanced by organic acids during storage
(Elsevier, 2018-10-06)
The aim of the present study was to understand growth and survival responses of Listeria monocytogenes during the storage of high pressure processed (HPP) cooked ham formulated with organic acids to ...
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 ...
Ultrasound processing alone or in combination with other chemical or physical treatments as a safety and quality preservation strategy of fresh and processed fruits and vegetables: a review
(Springer, 2019-08-12)
Ultrasound (US) processing has emerged as a novel food preservation technology. This strategy has proved antimicrobial effects due to cavitation, which is the formation, growth, and collapse of bubbles ...
Texture characterization of dry-cured ham using multi energy X-ray analysis
(2018-02-03)
Multi energy X-ray sensors are able to differentiate and quantify X-rays of different energies. In contrast to conventional sensors, which simply record the overall
energy of the ...
