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) ...
Evaluation of alternative methods of tunnel composting (submitted by the European Composting Network) II
(Wiley Open Access, 2024-04-26)
Two alternative methods for producing compost in a tunnel, from certain category (Cat.) 3 animal by-products (ABP) and other non-ABP material, were assessed. The first method proposed a minimum temperature ...
The Gamma concept approach as a tool to predict fresh produce supporting or not the growth of L. monocytogenes
(Elsevier, 2024-04-27)
Challenge tests are commonly employed to evaluate the growth behavior of L. monocytogenes in food matrices;
they are known for being expensive and time-consuming. An alternative could be the use of ...
High moisture extrusion of pea protein isolate to mimic chicken texture: Instrumental and sensory insights
(Elsevier, 2024-04-25)
High moisture extrusion processing (HMEP) is gaining attention in the plant-based food industry to obtain meat-like textures from different vegetal protein sources. The aim of this study was to evaluate ...
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. ...
Modelling of salt uptake for salt content standardization in dry-cured ham
(Elsevier, 2024-04-26)
Salt content standardization in dry-cured ham production is complex as there are many factors that influence salt uptake. The aim of this work was to study and model salt uptake as a function of salting ...
Differentiation between fresh and frozen-thawed mackerel fish using low-cost portable near infrared spectrometry devices
(Elsevier, 2024-05-11)
Mislabelling frozen-thawed fish fillets as fresh is one of the most important fraudulent practices during commercialisation. This study aimed to determine the ability of two portable miniaturised low-cost ...
Effect of pH and temperature on tropane alkaloids within a processing strategy to provide safe infant cereal-based food
(Elsevier, 2024-05-06)
Tropane alkaloids (TAs) are secondary metabolites from weeds that can contaminate cereals and vegetables during harvest. Due to their toxicity, the Regulation (EC) 2023/915 sets maximum levels for ...
Getting value from the waste: recombinant production of a sweet protein by Lactococcus lactis grown on cheese whey
(BioMed Central, 2018-08-15)
Background
Recent biotechnological advancements have allowed for the adoption of Lactococcus lactis, a typical component of starter cultures used in food industry, as the host for the production of ...
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 ...
