Novel high-pressure thermal processing at industrial scale efficiently inactivates bacterial spores while minimises process-induced contaminants in acid and low-acid infant food
(Food Research International, 2025-08-06)High-pressure thermal processing (HPTP) takes advantage of rapid and uniform compression heating and decompression cooling. However, its industrial implementation faces scale-up and operational challenges. ... -
Showcasing the potential of Pulse Spray Drying for infant foods from the food safety perspective
(Future Foods, 2025-08-13)This study evaluated Pediococcus acidilactici ATCC 8042 as a non-pathogenic surrogate for Salmonella to assess the effect of a new Pulse Spray Drying (PSD) technology in infant cereal-based food (CBF) ... -
Hyperspectral imaging and predictive microbiology for the non-invasive evaluation of the growth probability of Staphylococcus aureus in sliced dry-cured ham
(Meat Science, 2025-07-21)This work aimed to explore the potential of a non-invasive approach, consisting of the use of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) together with predictive microbiology, for dry-cured ham safety evaluation. The ... -
Quantitative characterization of high-pressure inactivation of E. coli and Salmonella in fruit purees enhanced by acid exposure and delayed sampling

Nasal Colonizers from Sows in the Federal District of Brazil Showed a Diverse Phenotypic Resistance Profile
(Microorganisms, 2025-06-11)Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health concern influenced by antimicrobial use (AMU) in animal production systems. In swine, metaphylactic treatments may contribute to the emergence and ... -
Effect of primary structural variation on cervid prion protein in flexibility, stability, and spontaneous misfolding propensity
(Neurobiology of Disease, 2025-06-13)Protein misfolding is central to numerous neurodegenerative disorders, collectively known as proteinopathies, which include Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and prion diseases, among others. ... -
Effect of space allowance and transport container height on the welfare of fattening rabbits under different environmental thermal conditions
(Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2025-09-02)This study evaluated the combined effects of container space allowance, height, and ambient thermal conditions on the welfare of fattening rabbits during simulated transport. Nine hundred rabbits were ... -
