Consumer evaluation of meat quality from barrows, immunocastrates and boars in six countries
(Elsevier, 2022-02-16)
The practice of surgical castration of piglets and its alternatives is still under debate. Production of boars may impair meat quality due to boar taint and reduced tenderness compared to meat from ...
Evaluation of dry-cured ham pastiness through rheological measurements of aqueous extracts obtained in vitro mimicking the mastication process
(Elsevier, 2021-03-10)
Pastiness is a dry-cured ham defect that can be determined by sensory and chemical analysis. Since pastiness produces an increase of saliva viscosity, rheology might be useful to instrumentally evaluate ...
Sustainable food packaging: An updated definition following a holistic approach
(Frontiers Media, 2023-04-21)
Food packaging solutions need to be redesigned to be more sustainable, but determining which solution is ‘more optimal’ is a very difficult task when considering the entire food product value chain. ...
Radio frequency cooking of pork hams followed with conventional steam cooking
(Elsevier, 2020-01-27)
Radio frequency (RF) is a volumetric heating technology that reduces the time needed to cook foodstuffs, but heating is not evenly distributed. The aim of this work was to develop a two-step cooking ...
Computer image analysis for intramuscular fat segmentation in dry-cured ham slices using convolutional neural networks
(Elsevier, 2019-06-12)
Determination of intramuscular fat (IMF) content in dry cured meats is critical because it affects the sensory quality and consumer's acceptability. Recently, deep learning has become one of the most ...
Consumer perception of entire male pork coated with spiced edible films as a new product to mask boar taint
(Elsevier, 2023-03-28)
Pork production has undergone a shift towards the rearing of entire male pigs, however, its meat might carry with the presence of boar taint and it would be considered “unfit for human consumption”. To ...
Acceptability of Dry-Cured Belly (Pancetta) from Entire Males, Immunocastrates or Surgical Castrates: Study with Slovenian Consumers
(2019-04-13)
Abandoning of male piglets castration in the European Union is a challenge for the pork production sector in particular for high-quality dry-cured traditional products. The information on consumer ...
Effectiveness of specularity removal from hyperspectral images on the quality of spectral signatures of food products
(Elsevier, 2020-05-24)
Specularity or highlight problem exists widely in hyperspectral images, provokes reflectance deviation from its true value, and can hide major defects in food objects or detecting spurious false defects ...
Utilization of Porcine Livers through the Formation of Zn-Protoporphyrin Pigment Optimized by a Response Surface Methodology
(MDPI, 2023-05-06)
There is a growing demand for clean-label products. This study aimed to obtain a food-grade coloring ingredient for meat products based on the formation of Zn-protoporphyrin from porcine livers, thus ...
Factors Limiting Shelf Life of a Tomato–Oil Homogenate (Salmorejo) Pasteurised via Conventional and Radiofrequency Continuous Heating and Packed in Polyethylene Bottles
(MDPI, 2023-10-23)
Salmorejo is a tomato–oil cold puree commercialized as a “fresh-like” product requiring mild pasteurisation and chill storage to reach a suitable shelf lifetime. The objective of this study was to study ...
