Postharvest heat and CO2 shocks induce changes in cuticle composition and cuticle-related gene expression in 'October Sun' peach fruit
(Elsevier, 2019)Fruit cuticles influence greatly postharvest quality of produce. Yet, few published studies have addressed changes in cuticle composition and related gene expression from a postharvest perspective, particularly for fruit ... -
Postharvest quality and chilling injury of plums: benefits of 1-methylcyclopropene
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (Espanya), 2011)The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment on the development of chilling injury (CI) symptoms in four plum cultivars and to determine the relationship between the climacteric ... -
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 ... -
Potential of the microalgae Nannochloropsis and Tetraselmis for being used as innovative ingredients in baked goods
(Elsevier, 2019-07)The potential use of the microalgae species Tetraselmis and Nannochloropsis was investigated for the production of functional breads and crackers. Optimum flour substitution levels were 2.5% for baked crackers and 1.0 or ... -
Potential secondary inoculum sources of Botrytis cinerea and their influence on bunch rot development in dry Mediterranean climate vineyards
(Wiley, 2013)Epidemiological studies have described the life cycle of B. cinerea in vineyards. However, there is a lack of information on the several infection pathways and the quantitative relationships between secondary inoculum and ... -
Predicting mycotoxins in foods: a review
(Elsevier, 2009)The need to ensure the microbiological quality and safety of food products has stimulated interest in the use of mathematical models for quantifying and predicting microbial behaviour. For 20 years, predictive microbiology ... -
Predicting the growth/no-growth boundary and ochratoxin A production by Aspergillus carbonarius in pistachio nuts
(Elsevier, 2008)Black aspergilli are the main fungal contaminants in pistachio nuts. Ochratoxin A (OTA) production has been repeatedly reported in Aspergillus section Nigri; OTA has been occasionally detected in pistachio nuts in high ... -
Prediction of bioactive compounds in barley by near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS)
(Elsevier, 2021)Barley grains contain a variable amount of biologically active compounds such as non-starch polysaccharides and phenol compounds. These compounds are important in nutrition due to their significant health benefits and ... -
Preliminary characterization of the enzyme polyphenol oxidase and rheological behavior from Averrhoa carambola juice
(Universidad Nacional de Colombia, 2016)Averrhoa carambola fruit represents a potential as an agro-industrial production line. A restriction on the use of this exotic fruit is the susceptibility to enzymatic browning, affecting nutritional and visual acceptance. ... -
Preliminary survey of the occurrence of mycotoxins in cereals and estimated exposure in a northwestern region of Mexico
(Taylor and Francis, 2021-08-04)Mycotoxins have several toxicological implications. In the present study, we evaluate the presence of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), ochratoxin A (OTA), and fumonisin (FB1) in paddy rice, polished rice, and maize from the fields and ... -
Preparation of (S)-1-halo-2-octanols using ionic liquids and biocatalysts
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2009)Preparation of (S)-1-chloro-2-octanol and (S)-1-bromo-2-octanol was carried out by the enzymatic hydrolysis of halohydrin palmitates using biocatalysts. Halohydrin palmitates were prepared by various methods from palmitic ... -
Prepartum blood lead concentrations linked to subsequent cyclicity in high-producing dairy cows in a non-industrial area
(Elsevier, 2016-09-01)This study sought to identify the possible presence of lead (Pb) in blood and if detected to examine the relationship between blood Pb concentrations during the transition period and subsequent reproductive performance in ... -
Preservation of fresh-cut apple quality attributes by pulsed light in combination with gellan gum-based prebiotic edible coatings
(Elsevier, 2015-12)Pulsed light (PL) has received considerable attention during the last years as a non-thermal method for the superficial decontamination of fresh foods. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the quality attributes ... -
Probability models for growth and aflatoxin B1 production as affected by intraspecies variability in Aspergillus flavus
(Elsevier, 2018)The probability of growth and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) production of 20 isolates of Aspergillus flavus were studied using a full factorial design with eight water activity levels (0.84e0.98 aw) and six temperature levels (15e40 ... -
Processing, valorization and application of bio-waste derived compounds from potato, tomato, olive and cereals: a review
(MDPI, 2017)The vast and ever-growing amount of agricultural and food wastes has become a major concern throughout the whole world. Therefore, strategies for their processing and value-added reuse are needed to enable a sustainable ... -
Propidium monoazide combined with real-time quantitative PCR to quantify viable Alternaria spp. contamination in tomato products
(Elsevier, 2013)Alternaria is a common contaminating genus of fungi in fruits, grains, and vegetables that causes severe economic losses to farmers and the food industry. Furthermore, it is claimed that Alternaria spp. are able to produce ... -
