Near infrared sensors for the precise characterization of salt content in canned tuna fish
(Elsevier, 2023-07-28)
Non-invasive technologies could help to guarantee quality standards of canned tuna fish. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of bench-top (FT-NIR) and low-cost (LC-NIR) near infrared ...
Effects of a high-fat-diet supplemented with probiotics and ω3-fatty acids on appetite regulatory neuropeptides and neurotransmitters in a pig model
(Wageningen Academic Publishers, 2020-07-28)
The pig is a valuable animal model to study obesity in humans due to the physiological similarity between humans and pigs in terms of digestive and associated metabolic processes. The dietary use of ...
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. ...
Consumer acceptance of minced meat patties from boars in four European countries
(Elsevier, 2017-11-28)
A consumer study was performed in four EU countries to further clarify the acceptability of meat with boar taint. In Denmark, France, Italy and Poland, a total of 476 female consumers evaluated 8 meat ...
Intramuscular fat content in different muscles, locations, weights and genotype-sexes and its prediction in live pigs with computed tomography
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-08-16)
Intramuscular fat (IMF) content depends on sex, genotype and diet and varies with pig growth. The aim of the present work was to determine the evolution of IMF by genotype-sex, muscle and muscle location, ...
Computed tomography evaluation of gilt growth performance and carcass quality under feeding restrictions and compensatory growth effects on the sensory quality of pork
(Elsevier, 2020-04-15)
Restricted feed can affect the body composition of pigs. Body composition can be studied non-destructively in live pigs using computed tomography (CT). The objective was to investigate the effect of ...
Pork belly quality variation and its association with fatness level
(Elsevier, 2024-03-07)
Belly is a very popular pork cut composed of different layers of fat and muscle tissue. This work aims to investigate the effect of belly fatness on the morphological, mechanical (firmness) and compositional ...
