Mycotoxins occurrence and fungal populations in different types of silages for dairy cows in Spain
(British Mycological Society. Published by Elsevier Ltd., 2019-08-21)Silages constitute a major component of the feed ration for dairy cows, being a potential source of mycotoxins due to the possible contamination by filamentous fungi capable of producing these toxic compounds. In this ... -
Use of hyperspectral imaging as a tool for Fusarium and deoxynivalenol risk management in cereals: A review
(Elsevier, 2019-08-20)Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is an emergent, rapid, cost-effective and non-destructive technique in which the spectral data are obtained for each pixel location in a sample's image. The application of this technique to ... -
The fate of Fusarium mycotoxins (deoxynivalenol and zearalenone) through wort fermenting by Saccharomyces yeasts (S. cerevisiae and S. pastorianus)
(Elsevier, 2019-07-29)The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of 15 commercial yeasts in the mitigation of the Fusarium mycotoxins deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEN) during the brewing process. Saccharomyces strains (10 strains ... -
Lyophilized maqui (Aristotelia chilensis) berry induces browning in the subcutaneous white adipose tissue and ameliorates the insulin resistance in high fat diet-induced obese mice
(MDPI, 2019-09-01)Maqui (Aristotelia Chilensis) berry features a unique profile of anthocyanidins that includes high amounts of delphinidin-3-O-sambubioside-5-O-glucoside and delphinidin-3-O-sambubioside and has shown positive effects on ... -
Berry-enriched diet in salt-sensitive hypertensive rats: metabolic fate of (poly)phenols and the role of gut microbiota
(MDPI, 2019-11-03)Diets rich in (poly)phenols are associated with a reduced reduction in the incidence of cardiovascular disorders. While the absorption and metabolism of (poly)phenols has been described, it is not clear how their metabolic ... -
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 ... -
Chitosan/tripolyphosphate nanoaggregates enhance the antibrowning effect of ascorbic acid on mushroom slices
(Elsevier, 2019-06-24)Enzymatic browning is the main deleterious phenomenon affecting the quality of minimally processed mushrooms. Nano-encapsulation of antibrowning agents provides a new strategy to prevent discoloration in minimally processed ... -
A functional virgin olive oil enriched with olive oil and thyme phenolic compounds improves the expression of cholesterol efflux-related genes: A randomized, crossover, controlled trial
(MDPI, 2019)The consumption of antioxidant-rich foods such as virgin olive oil (VOO) promotes high-density lipoprotein (HDL) anti-atherogenic capacities. Intake of functional VOOs (enriched with olive/thyme phenolic compounds (PCs)) ... -
