Exploring the use of tertiary reclaimed water in dairy cattle production
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2019-04-30)
The objective of this study was to explore through both in vitro and in vivo experiments the use of reclaimed urban wastewater in dairy cattle production systems with the aim of improving water efficiency ...
Optimization of a Banker Box System to Rear and Release the Parasitoid Habrobracon hebetor (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) for the Control of Stored-Product Moths
(Journal of Economic Entomology, 2018-07-24)
Pyralid moths, such as Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller) or Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), are among the pests of most concern in mills and food industries worldwide. One option for ...
The emergence of classical BSE from atypical/Nor98 scrapie
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019-12-16)
Atypical/Nor98 scrapie (AS) is a prion disease of small ruminants. Currently there are no efficient measures to control this form of prion disease, and, importantly, the zoonotic potential and the risk ...
Dietary fatty acid profiling in plant protein‐rich diets affects the reproductive performance, egg fatty acid profile and haematological parameters in female rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
(Aquaculture Nutrition, 2019-05-03)
The influence of dietary fish oil (FO) substitution with blends of vegetal oils (VO: canola, linseed, olive, sunflower, corn and coconut oils) in plant protein‐rich diets on reproductive performance and ...
Interplay between hormones and assimilates during pear development and ripening and its relationship with the fruit postharvest behaviour
(Plant Science, 2019-11-21)
The ability of European pears (Pyrus communis L.) to ripen immediately after harvest is cultivar-dependent and relies on a range of physiological and biochemical events occurring during fruit growth and ...
Shelf‐life extension of multi‐vegetables smoothies by high pressure processing compared with thermal treatment. Part II: Retention of selected nutrients and sensory quality
(Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, 2019-10-01)
Consumers are increasingly demanding food products based on minimally processed fruit and vegetables (Part I), which are associated with “fresh‐like” qualities and convenience. Smoothies may well fit ...
Steaming and sous-vide: Effects on antioxidant activity, vitamin C, and total phenolic content of Brassica vegetables
(International Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science, 2018-05-29)
The present study evaluated the effect of thermal processing on the colour, antioxidant activity, vitamin C content, and total phenols of six Brassica vegetables. The landrace Grelo was the best source ...
Oviposition behavior of the mirid Macrolophus pygmaeus under risk of intraguild predation and cannibalism
(Insect Science, 2020-01-09)
Zoophytophagous mirid species, that feed and develop either on prey or plant resources, are often found simultaneously on the same host. Hence, these species can engage in both intraguild predation and ...
Aggregation-prone peptides modulate activity of bovine interferon gamma released from naturally occurring protein nanoparticles
(New Biotechnology, 2020-02-03)
Efficient protocols for the production of recombinant proteins are indispensable for the development of the biopharmaceutical sector. Accumulation of recombinant proteins in naturally-occurring protein ...
Promoting biodiversity values of small forest patches in agricultural landscapes: Ecological drivers and social demand
(Science of The Total Environment, 2017-11-23)
Small forest patches embedded in agricultural (and peri-urban) landscapes in Western Europe play a key role for biodiversity conservation with a recognized capacity of delivering a wide suite of ecosystem ...
