Decision-making processes on sustainable packaging options in the European food sector
(Elsevier, 2023-11-28)
Food packaging improves shelf life and allows longer transportation distances in global food supply chains, but it is also responsible for huge volumes of waste. The transition to sustainable packaging ...
Effect of high pressure processing temperature on dry-cured hams with different textural characteristics
(Elsevier, 2019-02-22)
High pressure processing is mainly used to eliminate pathogenic microorganisms and extend
the shelf-life of dry-cured hams, but it also modifies its texture. These changes might be different
depending ...
Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) Nanocomposites: Effect of Inorganic Nanoparticles Reinforcement on Its Performance and Food Packaging Applications
(MDPI, 2021-03-31)
Poly lactic acid (PLA) is a compostable, as well as recyclable, sustainable, versatile and environmentally friendly alternative, because the monomer of PLA-lactide (LA) is extracted from natural sources. ...
Inactivation of Listeria monocytogenes by pulsed light in packaged and sliced salpicão, a ready-to-eat traditional cured smoked meat sausage
(Elsevier, 2023-03-08)
The efficacy of pulsed light (PL) for the surface decontamination of a sliced ready-to-eat cured meat product, salpicão, was studied. The surface of the slices was inoculated with Listeria monocytogenes ...
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 ...
Current and emerging trends in cereal snack bars: implications for new product development
(Taylor and Francis, 2022-02-20)
The change in consumers’ lifestyle promoted “snackification” favouring the commercialisation of on-the-go products such as cereal bars (CBs). Manufacturers are encountering challenges to develop healthy, ...
Pulsed Light Application for Campylobacter Control on Poultry Meat and Its Effect on Colour and Volatile Profile
(MDPI, 2022-09-14)
Campylobacter on poultry meat needs to be controlled to reduce the risk of infection caused by the consumption of chicken meat. Pulsed light (PL) application on poultry meat was studied to control ...
Selection of representative hyperspectral data and image pretreatment for model development in heterogeneous samples: A case study in sliced dry-cured ham
(Elsevier, 2020-12-05)
Sliced dry-cured ham arranged in ready-to-eat packages is a convenient and widely consumed commodity characterised by heterogeneity in composition not only among different industrial batches but also ...
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 ...
Functional and association studies on the pig HMGCR gene, a cholesterol-synthesis limiting enzyme
(Cambridge University Press, 2009-10-23)
The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of cholesterol. We have
studied the role of the HMGCR gene in pig lipid metabolism by means of ...
