Statement on how to interpret the QPS qualification on ‘acquired antimicrobial resistance genes’
(Wiley Open Access, 2023-10-31)
The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) approach was developed to provide a regularly updated generic pre-evaluation of the safety of microorganisms intended for use in the food or feed chains. Safety ...
Acrylamide and 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural in Synthetic Sugar Cane Syrup: Mitigation by Additives
(MDPI, 2023-04-04)
The ability of additives to reduce the formation of acrylamide in simulated sugar cane
syrups was investigated. Organic acids, B vitamins, and inorganic salts were added individually
and in combination ...
Effect of the Storage Conditions and Freezing Speed on the Color and Chlorophyll Profile of Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oils
(MDPI, 2023-01-03)
Premium extra virgin olive oils (PEVOO) are oils of exceptional quality and retail at high prices. The green color of recently extracted olive oils is lost during storage at room temperature, mainly ...
Alternatives to piglet castration: from issues to solutions
(MDPI, 2021-04-07)
Because castrated male pigs convert feed into meat less efficiently than entire males, they are less efficient regarding the utilization of resources. Moreover, surgical castration without pain relief ...
Utility of EST-SNP Markers for Improving Management and Use of Olive Genetic Resources: A Case Study at the Worldwide Olive Germplasm Bank of Córdoba
(MDPI, 2022-03-29)
Olive, the emblematic Mediterranean fruit crop, owns a great varietal diversity, which is maintained in ex situ field collections, such as the World Olive Germplasm Bank of Córdoba (WOGBC), Spain. ...
Chemical markers to distinguish the homoand heterozygous bitter genotype in sweet almond kernels
(MDPI, 2020-06-05)
Bitterness in almonds is controlled by a single gene (Sk dominant for sweet kernel, sk recessive for bitter kernel) and the proportions of the offspring genotypes (SkSk, Sksk, sksk) depend on the ...
Innovative strategies to enhance the sensory quality of dry fermented sausages containing lactic ingredients by the addition of exogenous enzymes
(SAGE Publications, 2021-06-09)
This study investigated the impact of the addition of exogenous enzymes (Accelerzyme CPG, Debitrase DBP20) or cellular preparations (FlavoGard), traditionally used in the cheese industry, to accelerate ...
Update of the list of QPS-recommended biological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 15: suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until September 2021
(Wiley Open Access, 2022-01-27)
The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) approach was developed to provide a generic pre-evaluation of the safety of biological agents. The QPS approach is based on an assessment of published data for ...
RNA-seq based detection of differentially expressed genes in the skeletal muscle of Duroc pigs with distinct lipid profiles
(Nature Research, 2017-02-14)
We have used a RNA-seq approach to investigate differential expression in the skeletal muscle of swine
(N=52) with divergent lipid profiles i.e. HIGH (increased intramuscular fat and muscle saturated ...
Public health risks associated with food‐borne parasites
(EFSA Journal, 2018-12-04)
Parasites are important food‐borne pathogens. Their complex lifecycles, varied transmission routes, and prolonged periods between infection and symptoms mean that the public health burden and relative ...
