Occurrence of pyrrolizidine alkaloids in animal- and plant-derived food: results of a survey across Europe
(2017-09-25)
Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are secondary metabolites of plant families such as Asteraceae or Boraginaceae and are suspected to be genotoxic carcinogens. Recent investigations revealed their frequent ...
Morphology and ultrastructure of the midgut gland ("hepatopancreas") during ontogeny in the common spider crab Maja brachydactyla Balss, 1922 (Brachyura, Majidae)
(Elsevier, 2019-01-09)
We studied the anatomy and cytology of the midgut gland (MGl) of the common spider crab Maja brachydactyla Balss, 1922 at several life stages (zoea, megalopa, first juvenile, and adult) using dissection, ...
Use of high concentrations of carbon dioxide for stunning rabbits reared for meat production
(Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, 2016-03-22)
An investigation was performed to determine whether high concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) at 70-98% in atmospheric air are a suitable alternative for stunning rabbits compared to conventional
approaches ...
Active packaging applications for food
(Wiley, 2017-11-28)
The traditional role of food packaging is continuing to evolve in response to changing market needs. Current drivers such as consumer's demand for safer, “healthier,” and higher‐quality foods, ideally ...
On-line Ham Grading using pattern recognition models based on available data in commercial pig slaughterhouses
(Elsevier, 2018-04-13)
The thickness of the subcutaneous fat in hams is one of the most important factors for the dry-curing process and largely determines its final quality. This parameter is usually measured in slaughterhouses ...
Effects of breed‐production system on collagen, textural, and sensory traits of 10 European beef cattle breeds
(Wiley, 2018-06-23)
In the current study the collagen, texture, and sensory characteristics of meat from 712 yearling males of 10 local Spanish and French beef breeds raised in their typical production systems were described. ...
Revealing additional preference heterogeneity with an extended random parameter logit model: the case of extra virgin olive oil
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria, 2014-07-09)
Methods that account for preference heterogeneity have received a significant amount of attention in recent literature.Most of them have focused on preference heterogeneity around the mean of the random ...
Short communication. Sensory evaluation of commercial beef produced in Uruguay and three European countries
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2012-06-08)
The main goal of this study was to characterize and compare the organoleptic quality of beef from Uruguay and
from three European countries. In Uruguay, 40 Hereford steers were raised exclusively under ...
SNP variation in the promoter of the PRKAG3 gene and association with meat quality traits in pig
(BMC, 2012-07-25)
Background: The PRKAG3 gene encodes the γ3 subunit of adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase
(AMPK), a protein that plays a key role in energy metabolism in skeletal muscle. Non-synonymous ...
Control of biogenic amines in fermented sausages: role of starter cultures
(Frontiers Media, 2012-05)
Biogenic amines show biological activity and exert undesirable physiological effects when
absorbed at high concentrations. Biogenic amines are mainly formed by microbial decarboxylation of amino acids ...
