Dielectric properties of milk during ultra-heat treatment
(Elsevier, 2017-09-27)
Dielectric properties are important for predicting dielectric heating of foodstuffs. The dielectric properties of three types of milk (raw, skimmed and concentrated non-fat) were analyzed at high ...
Application of temperature and ultrasound as corrective measures to decrease the adhesiveness in dry-cured ham. Influence on free amino acid and volatile compound profile
(2018-08-04)
The impact of low temperature treatment and its combination with ultrasound has been evaluated in order to correct texture defects in dry-cured hams. A total of 26 dry-cured hams, classified as high ...
Feasibility of on/at line methods to determine boar taint and boar taint compounds: An overview
(MDPI, 2020-10-15)
Classification of carcasses at the slaughter line allows an optimisation of its processing and differentiated payment to producers. Boar taint is a quality characteristic that is evaluated in some ...
Effect of microalgae incorporation on the physicochemical, nutritional, and sensorial properties of an innovative broccoli soup
(Elsevier, 2019-05-09)
The aim of this paper was to develop broccoli soups enriched in Spirulina sp., Chlorella sp., or Tetraselmis sp., at concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 2.0% (w/v), and to assess the effect of microalgae ...
Non-destructive evaluation of carcass and ham traits and meat quality assessment applied to early and late immunocastrated Iberian pigs
(Elsevier, 2021-02-23)
Castration is a common practice in Iberian pigs due to their advanced age and high weight at slaughter. Immunocastration (IC) is an alternative to surgical castration that influences carcass and cut ...
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. ...
Instrumental texture analysis on the surface of dry-cured ham to define the end of the process
(Elsevier, 2020-10-06)
The end of the elaboration process of dry-cured ham is currently decided by product weight loss and/or by an expert who carries out an evaluation of the tactile texture on the surface. The objective of ...
Development of a dairy fouling model to assess the efficacy of cleaning procedures using alkaline and enzymatic products
(Elsevier, 2019-02-19)
Dairy fouling is defined as the accumulation of thermally insulating materials or deposits from process fluids which are especially formed on heat transfer surfaces. The selection of suitable cleaning ...
Automatic ham classification method based on support vector machine model increases accuracy and benefits compared to manual classification
(Elsevier, 2019-04-25)
The thickness of the subcutaneous fat (SFT) is a very important parameter in the ham, since determines the process the ham will be submitted. This study compares two methods to predict the SFT in slaughter ...
Use and Understanding of Nutrition Labels: Impact of Diet Attachment
(MDPI, 2022-06-28)
Food labels may have an important function in communicating nutrition information and have considerable potential to influence food choice and dietary behavior. Therefore, the aim of this study was to ...
