Impact of Rising Temperature in the Deposition Patterns of Bioactive Compounds in Field Grown Food Barley Grains
(MDPI, 2021)High temperatures at the end of the season are frequent under Mediterranean conditions, affecting final grain quality. This study determined the deposition patterns throughout grain filling of dry matter, dietary fiber, ... -
In situ measurements of micronutrient dynamics in open seawater show that complex dissociation rates may limit diatom growth
(Nature Research, 2018-12)In this first in situ study of the dynamic availability of phytoplankton micronutrients, a SeaExplorer glider was combined with Diffusive Gradients in Thin Films and deployed in the Mediterranean Sea. On the basis of their ... -
Inactivation of rice starch branching enzyme IIb triggers broad and unexpected changes in metabolism by transcriptional reprogramming
(National Academy of Sciences, 2020-10-05)Starch properties can be modified by mutating genes responsible for the synthesis of amylose and amylopectin in the endosperm. However, little is known about the effects of such targeted modifications on the overall starch ... -
Increased straight-chain esters content after ultra low oxygen storage and its relation to the lipoxygenase system in 'Golden Reinders (R)' apples
(Springer Verlag, 2011-01-01)Golden’ is the most cultivated apple group in Europe. In recent years, new mutants have emerged which improve both aspects of production and sensory attributes. In this work, emission of volatile compounds and the activity ... -
Influence of macromolecular crowding on the charge regulation of intrinsically disorded proteins
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021)In this work we study the coupling between ionization and conformational properties of two IDPs, histatin-5 and b-amyloid 42, in the presence of neutral and charged crowders. The latter is modeled to resemble bovine serum ... -
Influence of sample processing on the analysis of carotenoids in maize
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2012)We performed a number of tests with the aim to develop an effective extraction method for the analysis of carotenoid content in maize seed. Mixtures of methanol–ethyl acetate (6:4, v/v) and methanol–tetrahydrofuran (1:1, ... -
Influence of the combination of different atmospheres on diphenylamine, folpet and imazalil content in cold-stored 'Pink Lady®' apples
(Elsevier, 2009)"Pink Lady®" apples were harvested at commercial maturity, treated with three different agrochemical products, and stored at 1 °C under either air or controlled atmosphere conditions (2 kPa O2 + 2 kPa CO2 and 1 kPa O2 + 1 ... -
Influence of the settling of the resin beads on diffusion gradients in thin films measurements
(Elsevier, 2015-05-02)Binding resin beads used in DGT (Diffusion Gradients in Thin films) tend to settle to one side of the resin during casting. This phenomenon might be relevant for metal accumulation when partially labile complexes dominate ... -
Injection-port derivatization coupled to GC–MS/MS for the analysis of glycosylated and non-glycosylated polyphenols in fruit samples
(Elsevier, 2016)Polyphenols, including glycosylated polyphenols, were analyzed via a procedure based on injection-port derivatization coupled to gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (GC–MS/MS). The polyphenols in lyophilized fruit ... -
Insecticidal and repellent action of allyl esters against Acyrthosiphon pisum (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)
(Elsevier, 2013)In this project, three allyl esters from middle-chain fatty acids (allyl octanoate, allyl heptanoate and allyl hexanoate) and two from aromatic acids (allyl cinnamate and allyl 2-furoate) were investigated against two ... -
Insights into olive fruit surface functions: a comparison of cuticular composition, water permeability, and surface topography in nine cultivars during maturation
(Frontiers Media, 2019-10-25)Olive (Olea europaea L.) growing has outstanding economic relevance in Spain, the main olive oil producer and exporter in the world. Fruit skin properties are very relevant for fruit and oil quality, water loss, and ... -
Integrated valorization of Sargassum muticum in biorefineries
(Elsevier, 2021-01-15)Marine macroalgae represent an excellent raw material for the production of bioactives, adsorbents, plant biostimulants, soil fertilizers and biogas. The success in the exploitation of seaweeds depends on their characteristics, ... -
Interaction of acrylic-maleic copolymers with H+, Na+, Mg2+ and Ca2+: Thermodynamic parameters and their dependence on medium
(Elsevier, 2005)Thermodynamic parameters for the interaction of two acrylic-maleic copolymers (MW = 3 and 70 kDa) with H+, Na+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ were obtained from potentiometric and calorimetric measurements. Apparent protonation constants were ... -
