Computed tomography and predictive microbiology for non-invasive evaluation of the impact of dry-cured ham production process conditions on the behaviour of Listeria monocytogenes and Clostridium botulinum
(Elsevier, 2023-05-10)
Variability of salt content in dry-cured ham production can pose microbiological food safety issues, especially in salt reduced and/or non-nitrified products. In this regard, computed tomography (CT) ...
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 ...
The effect of immunocastration of male and female Duroc pigs on the morphological, mechanical and compositional characteristics of pork belly
(Elsevier, 2023-06-20)
Pork belly is an important and heterogeneous cut, characterized by its fat content. Immunocastration is an alternative to surgical castration that can modify the composition of carcasses and cuts and ...

(Elsevier, 2023-06-25)
EFSA's Panel on Biological Hazards (BIOHAZ Panel) deals with questions on biological hazards relating to food safety and food-borne diseases. This covers food-borne zoonoses, transmissible spongiform ...
Precise nutritional labelling of sliced packaged dry-cured ham using multi-energy X-ray absorptiometry
(Elsevier, 2023-06-21)
New consumer demands have increased the need for improved food processing and new value-added products that meet the latest quality standards. Changes in eating habits may lead to a preference for lower ...
Emission of volatile organic compounds during nectarine-Monilinia laxa interaction and its relationship with fruit susceptibility to brown rot
(Elsevier, 2022-06-27)
Fruit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can be emitted by stone fruit in response to biotic stress. One of the main fungal diseases of stone fruit is brown rot, caused by species of Monilinia spp. Hence, ...
Automatic marbling prediction of sliced dry-cured ham using image segmentation, texture analysis and regression
(Elsevier, 2022-06-11)
Dry-cured ham is a traditional Mediterranean meat product consumed throughout the world. This product is very variable in terms of composition and quality. Consumer’s acceptability of this product is ...
