Compositional, structural and functional cuticle analysis of Prunus laurocerasus L. sheds light on cuticular barrier plasticity
(Elsevier, 2020-11-24)Barrier properties of the hydrophobic plant cuticle depend on its physicochemical composition. The cuticular compounds vary considerably among plant species but also among organs and tissues of the same plant and throughout ... -
Extraction of functional ingredients from spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) using liquid solvent and supercritical CO2 extraction
(Society of Chemical IndustryWiley, 2014-06-14)BACKGROUND: In this work three different techniques were applied to extract dry leaves of spinach (Spinacia oleracea): solid–liquid extraction (SLE), pressurised liquid extraction (PLE) and supercritical fluid extraction ... -
Classification of the microstructural elements of the vegetal tissue of the pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) using convolutional neural networks
(MDPI, 2021)Although knowledge of the microstructure of food of vegetal origin helps us to understand the behavior of food materials, the variability in the microstructural elements complicates this analysis. In this regard, the ... -
Biocatalytic Transformation of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural into 2,5-di(hydroxymethyl)furan by a Newly Isolated Fusarium striatum Strain
(MDPI, 2021-02-06)The compound 2,5-di(hydroxymethyl)furan (DHMF) is a high-value chemical block that can be synthesized from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a platform chemical that results from the dehydration of biomass-derived carbohydrates. ... -
Formation and Stabilization of W1/O/W2 Emulsions with Gelled Lipid Phases
(MDPI, 2021-01-09)Water-in-oil-in-water (W1/O/W2) emulsions are emulsion-based systems where the dispersed phase is an emulsion itself, offering great potential for the encapsulation of hydrophilic bioactive compounds. However, their formation ... -
Sustainable Synthesis of Omega-3 Fatty Acid Ethyl Esters from Monkfish Liver Oil
(MDPI, 2021-01-13)The search for economic and sustainable sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) within the framework of the circular economy is encouraged by their proven beneficial effects on health. The extraction of monkfish ... -
Combination of ferulic acid with Aloe vera gel or alginate coatings for shelf-life prolongation of fresh-cut apples
(Elsevier, 2021-01-07)Weight loss, microbial spoilage and enzymatic browning are the main quality-determining processes which limit the shelf-life of fresh-cut apples. In this study, two edible coatings based on Aloe vera gel (AV) and sodium ... -
Effects of deoxynivalenol-contaminated diets on metabolic and immunological parameters in broiler chickens
(MDPI, 2021-01-11)The current study was conducted to examine the effects of deoxynivalenol (DON) at different levels (5 and 15 mg/kg feed) on the metabolism, immune response and welfare parameters of male broiler chickens (Ross 308) at 42 ... -
An overview of mycotoxin biomarker application in exposome-health studies
(Elsevier, 2020-12-17)Exposure assessment in epidemiological studies remains as a key bias domain, prompting for reliable and accurate methods reflecting the true individual exposure. For that reason, the use of exposure biomarkers has become ... -
Standardization of near infrared hyperspectral imaging for wheat single kernel sorting according to deoxynivalenol level
(Elsevier, 2020-11-28)The spatial recognition feature of near infrared hyperspectral imaging (HSI-NIR) makes it potentially suitable for Fusarium and deoxynivalenol (DON) management in single kernels to break with heterogeneity of contamination ... -
Near-infrared hyperspectral imaging for deoxynivalenol and ergosterol estimation in wheat samples
(Elsevier, 2020-09-30)The present study aimed to evaluate the use of hyperspectral imaging (HSI)-NIR spectroscopy to assess the presence of DON and ergosterol presence in wheat samples through prediction and classification models. To achieve ... -
Postprandial Circulating miRNAs in Response to a Dietary Fat Challenge
(MDPI, 2019-06-13)Postprandial lipemia has many physiopathological effects, some of which increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can be found in almost all biological fluids, but their postprandial kinetics are ... -
Enhanced shelf-life of the formulated biocontrol agent Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CPA-8 combining diverse packaging strategies and storage conditions
(Elsevier, 2019-02-02)Two effective biocontrol products (named as BA3 and BA4) based on Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CPA-8 have been reported as a potential alternative to chemical applications against brown rot caused by Monilinia spp. on stone ... -
