The Use of Pork from Entire Male and Immunocastrated Pigs for Meat Products—An Overview with Recommendations
(MDPI, 2020-09-26)
Due to the strong public initiative in Europe and increased regulator focus to mitigate pain, surgical castration of pigs is being gradually abandoned, while the importance of other sex categories like ...
Investigation of the transcriptomic and metabolic changes associated with superficial scald physiology impaired by lovastatin and 1-methylcyclopropene in pear fruit (cv. “Blanquilla”)
(Springer Nature, 2020-04-01)
To elucidate the physiology underlying the development of superficial scald in pears, susceptible “Blanquilla” fruit was treated with different compounds that either promoted (ethylene) or repressed ...
Exploring sustainable food choices factors and purchasing behavior in the sustainable development goals era in Spain
(MDPI, 2021-07-01)
The aim of the present study was (1) to investigate what consumers include within the concept of food sustainability and its link with sustainable consumption, by identifying meaningful consumer typologies ...
Global analysis of the association between pig muscle fatty acid composition and gene expression using RNA-Seq
(Nature Research, 2023-01-11)
Fatty acids (FAs) play an essential role as mediators of cell signaling and signal transduction, affecting metabolic homeostasis and determining meat quality in pigs. However, FAs are transformed by the ...
Joint QTL mapping and gene expression analysis identify positional candidate genes influencing pork quality traits
(Nature Research, 2017-01-05)
Meat quality traits have an increasing importance in the pig industry because of their strong impact on
consumer acceptance. Herewith, we have combined phenotypic and microarray expression data to ...
Epigenetic regulation of the ELOVL6 gene is associated with a major QTL effect on fatty acid composition in pigs
(BMC, 2015-03-25)
Background: In previous studies on an Iberian x Landrace cross, we have provided evidence that supported the porcine ELOVL6 gene as the major causative gene of the QTL on pig chromosome 8 for palmitic ...
Portable Electronic Tongue Based on Microsensors for the Analysis of Cava Wines
(MDPI, 2016-10-27)
Cava is a quality sparkling wine produced in Spain. As a product with a designation of origin, Cava wine has to meet certain quality requirements throughout its production process; therefore, the analysis ...
Role played by the environment in the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through the food chain
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-06-17)
The role of food-producing environments in the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in EU plant-based food production, terrestrial animals (poultry, cattle and pigs) and aquaculture ...
Persistence of microbiological hazards in food and feed production and processing environments
(Wiley Open Access, 2024-01-19)
Listeria monocytogenes (in the meat, fish and seafood, dairy and fruit and vegetable
sectors), Salmonella enterica (in the feed, meat, egg and low moisture food
sectors) and Cronobacter sakazakii (in ...
The use of the so‐called ‘tubs’ for transporting and storing fresh fishery products
(Wiley Open Access, 2020-04-29)
On‐land transport/storage of fresh fishery products (FFP) for up to 3 days in ‘tubs’ of three‐layered poly‐ethylene filled with freshwater and ice was compared to the currently authorised practice (fish ...
