The effects and associations of whole-apple intake on diverse cardiovascular risk factors. A narrative review
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2020-01-13)Apples are among the world’s most consumed fruits. However, while the impact of whole-apple intake on cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains unknown. This narrative review summarizes a novel integrated view of whole-apple ... -
Usefulness of the analytical control of aflatoxins in feedstuffs for dairy cows for the prevention of aflatoxin M1 in milk
(Springer Nature, 2019-05-14)Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is a hydroxylated metabolite of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and can be excreted in milk of cows after consuming aflatoxin (AF)-contaminated feed. The aim of this research was to assess the levels of total AFs ... -
Formation of patulin-glutathione conjugates induced by pulsed light: A tentative strategy for patulin degradation in apple juices
(Elsevier, 2020-01-23)Patulin is a toxic mycotoxin usually associated with apple products. Due to its unhealthy effects for humans, its content is regulated by the food safety authorities. The removal or degradation of this mycotoxin in ... -
The lipid type affects the in vitro digestibility and β-carotene bioaccessibility of liquid or solid lipid nanoparticles
(Elsevier, 2019-12-13)olid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) are emulsion-based carriers of lipophilic bioactive compounds. However, their digestibility may be affected by the solid lipid phase composition. Hence, the aim of this work was to study the ... -
Effect of calcium salts and antioxidant treatment on the storage quality of fresh-cut Conference pears
(Faculty of Agriculture and Natural Sciences, Department of Horticulture. Usak University, 2019-12-02)The use of calcium chloride and calcium lactate solutions has been shown to be a suitable alternative to chlorine in order to maintain the shelf-life of fresh-cut fruit and vegetables. The objective of this research was ... -
Barley-ß-glucans reduce systemic inflammation, renal injury and aortic calcification through ADAM17 and neutral-sphingomyelinase2 inhibition
(Springer Nature, 2019-11-28)In chronic kidney disease (CKD), hyperphosphatemia-induced inflammation aggravates vascular calcification (VC) by increasing vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) osteogenic differentiation, ADAM17-induced renal and vascular ... -
New mycotoxin adsorbents based on tri-octahedral bentonites for animal feed
(Elsevier, 2019-07-21)In the present work different clays have been characterized according to their mycotoxins adsorbent ability. Firstly, 27 bentonite clays from different geographical origins were evaluated, at 0.02% w/v, using an in vitro ... -
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 ... -
