Functional and association studies on the pig HMGCR gene, a cholesterol-synthesis limiting enzyme
(Cambridge University Press, 2009-10-23)
The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of cholesterol. We have
studied the role of the HMGCR gene in pig lipid metabolism by means of ...
Scientific Opinion on the update of the list of QPS‐recommended biological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA (2017–2019)
(Wiley Open Access, 2020-02-03)
The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) was developed to provide a safety pre‐assessment within EFSA for microorganisms. Strains belonging to QPS taxonomic units (TUs) still require an assessment based ...
Algae as Nutritional and Functional Food Sources
(MDPI, 2022-12-26)
Algae are a large and diverse group of autotrophic eukaryotic and photosynthetic aquatic organisms [1]. They can be divided into multi-cellular seaweeds, and unicellular microalgae (including cyanobacteria) ...
A pilot study about on-farm assessment of health and welfare in rabbits kept in different housing systems
(Frontiers Media, 2022-08-11)
This pilot study tested an on-farm protocol based on resource, management, and animal-based measures to evaluate the on-farm health and welfare of rabbits kept in four different housing systems. In ...
Update and review of control options for Campylobacter in broilers at primary production
(Wiley Open Access, 2020-04-30)
The 2011 EFSA opinion on Campylobacter was updated using more recent scientific data. The relative risk reduction in EU human campylobacteriosis attributable to broiler meat was estimated for on‐farm ...
Modeling of radio frequency heating of packed fluid foods moving on a conveyor belt: A case study for tomato puree
(Elsevier, 2023-05-20)
Computer simulation models were used to study radiofrequency heating of liquid foods moving on a conveyor belt between staggered-through field electrodes of non-uniform electric field distribution. ...
Instrumental texture analysis on the surface of dry-cured ham to define the end of the process
(Elsevier, 2020-10-06)
The end of the elaboration process of dry-cured ham is currently decided by product weight loss and/or by an expert who carries out an evaluation of the tactile texture on the surface. The objective of ...
Upscaling via a Prospective LCA: A Case Study on Tomato Homogenate Using a Near-to-Market Pasteurisation Technology
(MDPI, 2022-02-02)
Thanks to food technology, the production of cold tomato soups such as salmorejo, a traditional Spanish dish, has become industrialised. Thermal treatments play an important role in ready-to-eat meals, ...
Effect of proteolysis index level on instrumental adhesiveness, free amino acids content and volatile compounds profile of dry-cured ham
(Elsevier, 2018-03-02)
Defective textures in dry-cured ham are a common problem that causes important economic losses in the ham industry. An increase of proteolysis during the dry-cured ham processing may lead to high ...
Innovations in spray drying technology for liquid food processing: Design, mechanisms, and potential for application
(Elsevier, 2023-12-20)
Spray drying is a well-established approach to converting liquid food into powder. This review discusses four types of spray drying techniques currently being used for that purpose, namely: pulse ...
