Visible and near-infrared spectral imaging combined with robust regression for predicting firmness, fatness, and compositional properties of fresh pork bellies
(Meat Science, 2024-09-06)Belly is a widely consumed pork product with very variable properties. Meat industry needs real-time quality assessment for maintaining superior pork quality throughout the production. This study explores ... -
Host–Pest Interactions: Investigating Grapholita molesta (Busck) Larval Development and Survival in Apple Cultivars under Laboratory and Field Conditions
(Horticulturae, 2024-09-24)Phenology models are widely used in Decision Support Systems to predict the phenology of pests. Grapholita molesta (Busck) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), a polyphagous pest, has a high prevalence in apple ... -
Animal welfare assessment protocol for quails reared for meat production
(Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2024-09-30)It is estimated that 1.4 billion quails are reared each year for their eggs and meat, but animal welfare assessment protocols for this species have yet to be established. The objective of this study was ... -
Effect of group mixing and available space on performance, feeding behavior, and fecal microbiota composition during the growth period of pigs
(Animals, 2024-09-18)Stress significantly affects the health, welfare, and productivity of farm animals. We performed a longitudinal study to evaluate stress’s effects on pig performance, feeding behavior, and fecal microbiota ... -
Impact of seed germination on the physicochemical properties of lupin flours and the physicochemical and techno-functional properties of their protein isolates
(Food and Bioprocess Technology, 2024-08-12)Nowadays , lupin seeds have emerged as a novel and valuable source of proteins representing a sustainable alternative to current raw materials of plant-based proteins, such as soybean. In this regard, ... -
Feasibility of Using Secondary Attributes in Sensory Analysis to Characterize Protected Designation of Origin of Olive Oil
(Agronomy, 2024-09-26)Protected denomination of origin (PDO) designations require tools to enable differentiation, as each PDO aims to establish its own distinct and exclusive identity. This necessity becomes particularly ... -
Enumeration agar, acid exposure and sampling time are relevant factors accounting for the high-pressure inactivation of vegetative pathogens in fruit puree
(Foods, 2024-08-20)High pressure processing (HPP) is a non-thermal technology with emerging application within the fruit and vegetable sector. The impact of the enumeration agar on the recorded HPP inactivation of L. ... -
The role of carcass processing (hot vs. cold boning) on pork belly morphological and mechanical characteristics
(Meat Science, 2024-08-15)This study assessed the effect of boning processing method (hot vs. cold) on pork belly morphological and mechanical traits and the evolution of these traits during refrigerated storage postmortem (PM). ... -
Tailor-made packaging strategies of fresh pork belly with different fat content: Enhancing shelf life while minimizing environmental impact
(Meat Science, 2024-08-10)Pork belly is a meat cut valued for its rich flavour and texture, attributed to its high fat content, which also makes it susceptible to oxidation. Therefore, meat producers and processors must carefully ... -
An overview of drivers and emotions of meat consumption
(Meat Science, 2024-08-24)Emotions are present in almost everything we do, including meat procurement, preparation and consumption. This paper examines the main drivers of this consumption, including sensory and hedonic properties, ... -
