Improving the in vitro bioaccessibility of β-carotene using pectin added nanoemulsions
(MDPI, 2020-04-07)The intestinal absorption of lipophilic compounds such as β-carotene has been reported to increase when they are incorporated in emulsion-based delivery systems. Moreover, the reduction of emulsions particle size and the ... -
Nanostructured lipid-based delivery systems as a strategy to increase functionality of bioactive compounds
(MDPI, 2020-03-11)Acquisition of a healthy lifestyle through diet has driven the food manufacturing industry to produce new food products with high nutritional quality. In this sense, consumption of bioactive compounds has been associated ... -
Inter-individual variability in the production of flavan-3-ol colonic metabolites: preliminary elucidation of urinary metabotypes
(Springer (part of Springer Nature), 2018-04-03)Purpose. There is much information on the bioavailability of (poly)phenolic compounds following acute intake of various foods. However, there are only limited data on the effects of repeated and combined exposure to specific ... -
Design, optimization and validation of genes commonly used in expression studies on DMH/AOM rat colon carcinogenesis model
(PeerJ, 2019-01-29)Colorectal cancer (CRC), also known as colon cancer, is the third most common form of cancer worldwide in men and the second in women and is characterized by several genetic alterations, among them the expression of several ... -
Control de patógenos de transmisión alimentaria en fresas congeladas y listas para el consumo
(SPE3 s.l., 2020-03-11)Estrategias de mitigación de los problemas asociados a la presencia de patógenos de transmisión alimentaria para la mejora de la calidad e inocuidad en la obtención de fresas congeladas y listas para el consumo. -
Low-energy membrane-based processes to concentrate and encapsulate polyphenols from carob pulp
(Elsevier, 2020-02-25)Forward osmosis (FO) and emulsification with dynamic membranes of tunable pore size (DMTS) were assessed to concentrate and encapsulate polyphenol extracts from carob pulp. In the FO step, a feed solution temperature of ... -
Standardisation of near infrared hyperspectral imaging for quantification and classification of DON contaminated wheat samples
(Elsevier, 2019-12-23)Near infrared hyperspectral imaging (HSI-NIR) is considered a promising technique able to replace time-con- suming, costly and destructive classic methods to predict and classify deoxynivalenol (DON) contaminated wheat ... -
