Transposons played a major role in the diversification between the closely related almond and peach genomes: Results from the almond genome sequence
(Wiley, 2019-09-16)
We sequenced the genome of the highly heterozygous almond Prunus dulcis cv. Texas combining short and long‐read sequencing. We obtained a genome assembly totaling 227.6 Mb of the estimated 238 Mb almond ...
Soil porosity changes in orchards with subsurface irrigation: quantification and interpretation
(Sociedad Geológica Mexicana, 2018-11-07)
In order to assess the irrigation efficiency under
water-limiting conditions, four different treatments of subsurface irrigation of peach trees in a
semi-arid Mediterranean climate near Lleida ...
Optimizing the Malaxation Conditions to Produce an Arbequina EVOO with High Content of Bioactive Compounds
(MDPI, 2021-11-17)
To meet the growing demand for high-quality extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) with health-promoting properties and pleasant sensory properties, studies are needed to establish optimal production parameters. ...
Impacts of Use and Abuse of Nature in Catalonia with Proposals for Sustainable Management
(MDPI, 2021-02-02)
This paper provides an overview of the last 40 years of use, and in many cases abuse, of the natural resources in Catalonia, a country that is representative of European countries in general, and ...
High hydrostatic pressure enhances the formation of oleocanthal and oleacein in ‘Arbequina’ olive fruit
(Elsevier, 2023-10-30)
During olive oil production, the activity of endogenous enzymes plays a crucial role in determining the oil’s
phenolic composition. β-Glucosidase contributes to the formation of secoiridoids, while ...
Influence of the Ripening Stage and Extraction Conditions on the Phenolic Fingerprint of ‘Corbella’ Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
(MDPI, 2021-05-30)
The ancient ‘Corbella’ olive variety from the center-north of Catalonia is being recovered to obtain quality extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) with unique organoleptic properties. The aim of this work was ...
Conservation of native wild ivory-white olives from the MEDES islands natural reserve to maintain virgin olive oil diversity
(MDPI, 2020-10-17)
Food diversity, and in particular genetic diversity, is being lost at an alarming rate. Protection
of natural areas is crucial to safeguard the world’s threatened species. The Medes Islands (MI), ...
Aromatic, Sensory, and Fatty Acid Profiles of Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oils Produced Using Different Malaxation Conditions
(MDPI, 2022-10-30)
The demand for high-quality extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is growing due to its unique characteristics. The aroma and flavor of EVOO depend on its content of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), whose ...
Targeted metabolic profiling of the revived ancient ‘Corbella’ olive cultivar during early maturation
(Elsevier, 2023-07-26)
‘Corbella’ is an ancient olive cultivar whose cultivation has recently been revived and hence little is known about
its composition. This is the first work studying the metabolic profile of ‘Corbella’ ...
Oleacein and Oleocanthal: Key Metabolites in the Stability of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
(MDPI, 2023-09-18)
The oxidative stability of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) depends on its composition, primarily, phenolic compounds and tocopherols, which are strong antioxidants, but also carotenoids,
squalene, and ...
