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) ...
Understanding How Microorganisms Respond to Acid pH Is Central to Their Control and Successful Exploitation
(Frontiers Media, 2020-09-24)
Microbes from the three domains of life, Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya, share the need to sense and respond to changes in the external and internal concentrations of protons. When the proton concentration ...
Effects of nomadic grazing system and indoor concentrate feeding systems on performance, behavior, blood parameters, and meat quality of finishing lambs
(Public Library of Science, 2022-12-07)
The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of three production systems on growth performance, behavior, blood parameters, carcass characteristics, and meat quality. A total of 30 lambs (n = ...
Role played by the environment in the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through the food chain
(Wiley Open Access, 2021-06-17)
The role of food-producing environments in the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in EU plant-based food production, terrestrial animals (poultry, cattle and pigs) and aquaculture ...
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 ...
Unravelling the Molecular Mechanisms Underlying the Protective Effect of Lactate on the High-Pressure Resistance of Listeria monocytogenes
(MDPI, 2021-04-30)
Formulations with lactate as an antimicrobial and high-pressure processing (HPP) as a lethal treatment are combined strategies used to control L. monocytogenes in cooked meat products. Previous studies ...
Microscopic analysis and microstructural characterization of the organic and inorganic components of dairy fouling during the cleaning process
(American Dairy Science Association, 2020-01-13)
This study evaluated the organic residues of milk fouling using fluorescence and confocal laser scanning microscopy. The inorganic content was analyzed with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, ...
Sensory Complexity: From Sensory Measurement to Consumption Behavior
(MDPI, 2022-12-21)
Sensory analysis is a multidisciplinary field that includes the measurement, interpretation,
and understanding of human responses to the sensory properties of products and
it is essential to explore ...
Effects of post mortem pH and salting time on Zinc-protoporphyrin content in nitrite-free Serrano dry-cured hams
(Elsevier, 2020-03-09)
There is a growing demand for clean label products and thus the elimination of curing additives in various dry-cured meats is of interest while maintaining colour characteristics. This study was aimed ...
The Implications of COVID-19 on Chinese Consumer Preferences for Lamb Meat
(MDPI, 2021-06-08)
This study assessed if Chinese consumer attitudes towards a range of lamb attributes (such as origin, food safety, appearance, taste, price), and their opinions of New Zealand lamb (9- and 7-point Likert ...
