Challenges and future perspectives for the European grading of pig carcasses – A quality view
(Elsevier, 2023-11-10)
This study sought to evaluate pig carcass grading, describing the existing approaches and definitions, and highlighting the vision for overall quality grading. In particular, the current state of pig ...
Attitudes and beliefs of Eastern European consumers towards animal welfare
(MDPI, 2020-07-17)
The aim of this exploratory work, because of the existing bias on the size of the sample and some of the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants, was to investigate the Eastern European ...
Dielectric properties of milk during ultra-heat treatment
(Elsevier, 2017-09-27)
Dielectric properties are important for predicting dielectric heating of foodstuffs. The dielectric properties of three types of milk (raw, skimmed and concentrated non-fat) were analyzed at high ...
Application of temperature and ultrasound as corrective measures to decrease the adhesiveness in dry-cured ham. Influence on free amino acid and volatile compound profile
(2018-08-04)
The impact of low temperature treatment and its combination with ultrasound has been evaluated in order to correct texture defects in dry-cured hams. A total of 26 dry-cured hams, classified as high ...
Feasibility of on/at line methods to determine boar taint and boar taint compounds: An overview
(MDPI, 2020-10-15)
Classification of carcasses at the slaughter line allows an optimisation of its processing and differentiated payment to producers. Boar taint is a quality characteristic that is evaluated in some ...
Effect of microalgae incorporation on the physicochemical, nutritional, and sensorial properties of an innovative broccoli soup
(Elsevier, 2019-05-09)
The aim of this paper was to develop broccoli soups enriched in Spirulina sp., Chlorella sp., or Tetraselmis sp., at concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 2.0% (w/v), and to assess the effect of microalgae ...
Non-destructive evaluation of carcass and ham traits and meat quality assessment applied to early and late immunocastrated Iberian pigs
(Elsevier, 2021-02-23)
Castration is a common practice in Iberian pigs due to their advanced age and high weight at slaughter. Immunocastration (IC) is an alternative to surgical castration that influences carcass and cut ...
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 ...
Development of a dairy fouling model to assess the efficacy of cleaning procedures using alkaline and enzymatic products
(Elsevier, 2019-02-19)
Dairy fouling is defined as the accumulation of thermally insulating materials or deposits from process fluids which are especially formed on heat transfer surfaces. The selection of suitable cleaning ...
