Ochratoxin A in adult population of Lleida, Spain: presence in blood plasma and consumption in different regions and seasons
(Elsevier, 2011)Ochratoxin A (OTA) levels in blood plasma, as well as the consumption of possibly contaminated foodstuffs by adult inhabitants, were determined in three seasons in the plain and the mountain regions of the province of ... -
Ochratoxin A in Spanish retail ground roasted coffee: Occurrence and assessment of the exposure in Catalonia
(Elsevier, 2011)Occurrence of ochratoxin A (OTA) in ground roasted coffee from different brands and types available in Spain was assessed. Based on these data, exposure of the Catalan population to OTA through coffee consumption was ... -
Optimising the number of isolates to be used to estimate growth parameters of mycotoxigenic species
(Elsevier, 2012)The aim of the present work was to mathematically assess the minimum number of isolates that would lead to equivalent growth parameters estimates to those obtained with a high number of strains. The datasets from two ... -
Optimization and validation of analytical methods for the simultaneous determination of antioxidants: Application to the analysis of tomato sauces.
(Elsevier, 2014)In the present study, simultaneous extraction of natural antioxidants (phenols and carotenoids) in complex matrices, such as tomato sauces, is presented. The tomato sauce antioxidant compounds studied were the phenolics ... -
Optimization and validation of PEF processing conditions to inactivate oxidative enzymes of grape juice
(Elsevier, 2007-12)White grape juice was processed using high intensity pulsed electric fields (PEF). The effect of this preservative technology on polyphenoloxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD) as well as on refractometric index, sugar content, ... -
