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 ...
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 ...
Acetylated pectins in raw and heat processed carrots
(Elsevier, 2017-08-30)
Heat processing results in softening of carrots, changing the pectin structure. The effect of heat processing on pectin was studied, showing that the amount of pectin in water soluble solids (WSS) and ...
European consumers’ beliefs about the main pillars of the sustainability: a comparison between wild and farmed fish
(Springer, 2023-02-17)
Aquaculture can represent an alternative means of economic yield and food security. Despite this fact, consumers still have a more negative perception of farmed fish when compared with wild fish, including ...
Processing parameters involved in the development of texture and tyrosine precipitates in dry-cured ham: Modelisation of texture development
(Elsevier, 2020-10-30)
The aim of this study was to quantify the effects of different processing parameters on texture development and the incidence of white film and tyrosine crystals in dry-cured ham. Hams were dry-salted ...
Attitudes and beliefs of Eastern European consumers towards piglet castration and meat from castrated pigs
(Elsevier, 2019-10-19)
Castration of male piglets is a common practice to avoid boar taint but is being questioned. The present work has an exploratory character and aims to investigate the beliefs and attitudes of Eastern ...
Editorial: Quality of animal-source foods related to their production and processing conditions
(Elsevier, 2022-01-17)
The quality of a food is generally reliant on the attributes that give it the ability to satisfy the stated or implicit needs of a user. The notion of quality has become increasingly complex, especially ...
Predicting the carcass chemical composition and describing its growth in live pigs of different sexes using computed tomographys
(Elsevier, 2015-08-28)
The aims of this study were (1) to evaluate the ability of computed tomography (CT) to predict the chemical composition of live pigs and carcasses, (2) to compare the chemical composition of four different ...
Consumers’ Expectations about Meat from Surgical Castrated or Immunocastrated Male and Female Iberian Pigs
(MDPI, 2022-02-14)
A common practice in Iberian pigs is the castration of both males and females, and it can be
carried out surgically or by immunization against gonadotropin-releasing factor (GnRF). The aim of
this ...
Using 19% of alfalfa hay in beef feedlot finishing diets did not modify meat quality but increased feed intake and ADG
(Oxford University Press, 2019-02-06)
To evaluate the effects of including extra alfalfa hay in high concentrate diets fed to beef heifers on intake, average daily gain (ADG), gain to feed ratio (G:F), and carcass and meat quality, we used ...
