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, ...
ROS-scavenging-associated transcriptional and biochemical shifts during nectarine fruit development and ripening
(Elsevier, 2021-12-24)
ROS are known as toxic by-products but also as important signaling molecules playing a key role in fruit development and ripening. To counteract the negative effects of ROS, plants and fruit own multiple ...
Emergence and clonal expansion of Vibrio aestuarianus lineages pathogenic for oysters in Europe
(Wiley, 2023-03-01)
Crassostrea gigas oysters represent a significant global food source with 4.7 million tons harvested per year. In 2001, the bacterium Vibrio aestuarianus subsp. francensis emerged as a pathogen that ...
Computed tomography evaluation of gilt growth performance and carcass quality under feeding restrictions and compensatory growth effects on the sensory quality of pork
(Elsevier, 2020-04-15)
Restricted feed can affect the body composition of pigs. Body composition can be studied non-destructively in live pigs using computed tomography (CT). The objective was to investigate the effect of ...
The immune response does not prevent homologous Porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus reinfection five months after the initial challenge
(Wiley, 2021-03-04)
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the duration of protective immunity against Porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus (PEDV). To do so, a two phases study was performed. In the first phase, 75 ...
Deletion of E184L, a Putative DIVA Target from the Pandemic Strain of African Swine Fever Virus, Produces a Reduction in Virulence and Protection against Virulent Challenge
(American Society for Microbiology, 2022-01-12)
African swine fever (ASF) is currently causing a major pandemic affecting the swine industry and protein availability from Central Europe to East and South Asia. No commercial vaccines are available, ...
Expression of genes related to long-chain (C18–22) and very long-chain (>C24) fatty acid biosynthesis in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) and Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) larvae: investigating early ontogeny and nutritional regulation
(Elsevier, 2020-01-11)
Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) have been extensively studied in aquaculture due to their importance for survival and development in teleosts. However, very long-chain polyunsaturated ...
Biological control of Acanthoscelides obtectus and Zabrotes subfasciatus in stored dried beans
(Springer, 2020-09-16)
This study assesses the feasibility of using natural enemies for the control of Acanthoscelides obtectus Say and Zabrotes subfasciatus Boheman (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), key pests of stored dried ...
Natural enemies associated with Tuta absoluta and functional biodiversity in vegetable crops
(Springer, 2021-06-18)
Tuta absoluta Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is considered one of the main pests threatening tomato production worldwide. In the Mediterranean, the use of predatory mirids is widespread, and although ...
