Computed tomography and predictive microbiology for non-invasive evaluation of the impact of dry-cured ham production process conditions on the behaviour of Listeria monocytogenes and Clostridium botulinum
(Elsevier, 2023-05-10)
Variability of salt content in dry-cured ham production can pose microbiological food safety issues, especially in salt reduced and/or non-nitrified products. In this regard, computed tomography (CT) ...
Near infrared sensors for the precise characterization of salt content in canned tuna fish
(Elsevier, 2023-07-28)
Non-invasive technologies could help to guarantee quality standards of canned tuna fish. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of bench-top (FT-NIR) and low-cost (LC-NIR) near infrared ...
The effect of immunocastration of male and female Duroc pigs on the morphological, mechanical and compositional characteristics of pork belly
(Elsevier, 2023-06-20)
Pork belly is an important and heterogeneous cut, characterized by its fat content. Immunocastration is an alternative to surgical castration that can modify the composition of carcasses and cuts and ...
Modeling of radio frequency heating of packed fluid foods moving on a conveyor belt: A case study for tomato puree
(Elsevier, 2023-05-20)
Computer simulation models were used to study radiofrequency heating of liquid foods moving on a conveyor belt between staggered-through field electrodes of non-uniform electric field distribution. ...
Xylitol: Production strategies with emphasis on biotechnological approach, scale up, and market trends
(Elsevier, 2023-08-07)
Xylitol, a sugar alcohol that is mostly derived from natural sources such as birch wood, corn cobs, and various plant materials like berries, oats, and mushrooms shows promising potential for use in ...
Precise nutritional labelling of sliced packaged dry-cured ham using multi-energy X-ray absorptiometry
(Elsevier, 2023-06-21)
New consumer demands have increased the need for improved food processing and new value-added products that meet the latest quality standards. Changes in eating habits may lead to a preference for lower ...
Automatic marbling prediction of sliced dry-cured ham using image segmentation, texture analysis and regression
(Elsevier, 2022-06-11)
Dry-cured ham is a traditional Mediterranean meat product consumed throughout the world. This product is very variable in terms of composition and quality. Consumer’s acceptability of this product is ...
Iron, heme, and nitrosyl-heme content in Spanish meat derivatives
(Elsevier, 2023-11-15)
Heme and nitrosyl-heme have been pointed out as responsible for the association between processed meats and cancer. The objective of this study was to obtain reliable data on the current proximate ...
Pork belly quality variation and its association with fatness level
(Elsevier, 2024-03-07)
Belly is a very popular pork cut composed of different layers of fat and muscle tissue. This work aims to investigate the effect of belly fatness on the morphological, mechanical (firmness) and compositional ...
