(MDPI, 2020-08-13)
The objective of the present study is to present an animal welfare assessment protocol for
growing‐rabbits for discussion after its implementation in 32 farms from Spain and Portugal. The
protocol ...
Prediction of fatty acid composition in intact and minced fat of European autochthonous pigs breeds by near infrared spectroscopy
(Nature Research, 2023-05-15)
The fatty acids profile has been playing a decisive role in recent years, thanks to technological, sensory and health demands from producers and consumers. The application of NIRS technique on fat ...
Milk fat globule membrane plus milk fat increase docosahexaenoic acid availability in infant formulas
(Springer, 2022-10-25)
Purpose
Milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) has components with emulsifier properties that could affect the provision of substrates to the brain. We evaluated the effects of MFGM plus milk fat addition ...
Influence of pork liver drying on ferrochelatase activity for zinc protoporphyrin formation
(Elsevier, 2022-10-27)
Pork liver contains an endogenous enzyme, ferrochelatase (FeCH), which catalyses the formation of zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP), a natural pigment of great interest for the meat industry. The aim of this ...
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 ...

(MDPI, 2022-12-26)
Algae are a large and diverse group of autotrophic eukaryotic and photosynthetic aquatic organisms [1]. They can be divided into multi-cellular seaweeds, and unicellular microalgae (including cyanobacteria) ...
A pilot study about on-farm assessment of health and welfare in rabbits kept in different housing systems
(Frontiers Media, 2022-08-11)
This pilot study tested an on-farm protocol based on resource, management, and animal-based measures to evaluate the on-farm health and welfare of rabbits kept in four different housing systems. In ...
Differential Analysis of Proteins Involved in Ester Metabolism in two Saccharomyces cerevisiae Strains during the Second Fermentation in Sparkling Wine Elaboration
(MDPI, 2020-03-13)
The aromatic metabolites derived from yeast metabolism determine the characteristicsof aroma and taste in wines, so they are considered of great industrial interest. Volatile estersrepresent the most ...
Upscaling via a Prospective LCA: A Case Study on Tomato Homogenate Using a Near-to-Market Pasteurisation Technology
(MDPI, 2022-02-02)
Thanks to food technology, the production of cold tomato soups such as salmorejo, a traditional Spanish dish, has become industrialised. Thermal treatments play an important role in ready-to-eat meals, ...
Innovations in spray drying technology for liquid food processing: Design, mechanisms, and potential for application
(Elsevier, 2023-12-20)
Spray drying is a well-established approach to converting liquid food into powder. This review discusses four types of spray drying techniques currently being used for that purpose, namely: pulse ...
