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 ...
Effect of proteolysis index level on instrumental adhesiveness, free amino acids content and volatile compounds profile of dry-cured ham
(Elsevier, 2018-03-02)
Defective textures in dry-cured ham are a common problem that causes important economic losses in the ham industry. An increase of proteolysis during the dry-cured ham processing may lead to high ...
Emulsion gels containing n-3 fatty acids and condensed tannins designed as functional fat replacers
(Elsevier, 2018-07-30)
The purpose of this study was to ascertain the potential of several food-grade emulsion (O/W) gels (GEs) for use as healthier fat replacers. The emulsions, formulated with a lipid phase rich in n-3 fatty ...
Feasibility study of smartphone-based Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) for salted minced meat composition diagnostics at different temperatures
(Elsevier, 2018-11-10)
This research work evaluates the feasibility of a smartphone-based spectrometer (740–1070 nm) for salted minced meat composition diagnostics at industrial scale. A commercially available smartphone-based ...
Influence of high-pressure processing at different temperatures on free amino acid and volatile compound profiles of dry-cured ham
(2018-12-26)
The effect of high pressure processing (HPP) (600 MPa during 6 min) at different temperatures (0, 20 and 35 °C) in dry-cured ham has been studied in order to optimize the technique and reduce its impact ...
Influence of surfactants and proteins on the properties of wet edible calcium alginate meat coatings
(Elsevier, 2018-04-03)
Calcium alginate structures are of interest as replacers for natural casings due to their high availability, biodegradability and low price. The aim of this paper is to study the effect of oil, surfactants ...
Zinc-protoporphyrin content in commercial Parma hams is affected by proteolysis index and marbling
(Elsevier, 2018-02-01)
The contents of zinc-protoporphyrin (ZnPP) and heme in twenty-four sliced Parma hams made without the addition of curing agents were determined. Expressed on a dry weight basis, ZnPP averaged 45 mg/kg ...
Texture characterization of dry-cured ham using multi energy X-ray analysis
(2018-02-03)
Multi energy X-ray sensors are able to differentiate and quantify X-rays of different energies. In contrast to conventional sensors, which simply record the overall
energy of the ...
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, ...
