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 ... -
Protective effect of hydroxytyrosol and its predominant plasmatic human metabolites against endothelial dysfunction in human aortic endothelial cells
(Wiley, 2015)Scope Hydroxytyrosol (HT) is the major phenolic compound in virgin olive oil (VOO) in free and conjugated forms that may exert health benefits against atherosclerosis. The native form of HT is undetectable in plasma due ... -
Protein/polysaccharide complexes to stabilize decane-in-water nanoemulsions
(Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature, 2020-01-30)Protein/polysaccharide complexes can be formed by electrostatic interactions and may be useful for enhancing the stability of nanoemulsions containing short-chain alkanes, which are highly prone to destabilization by Ostwald ... -
Proteomic and oxi-proteomic response of apple to a compatible (P. expansum) and a non-host (P. digitatum) pathogen
(ISHS, 2016)Despite the current use of chemical fungicides, Penicillium expansum still is one of the most devastating pathogens of pome fruit. In particular, P. expansum enters tissues through wounds causing large economic losses ... -
Provitamin A carotenoids from an engineered high-carotenoid maize are bioavailable and zeaxanthin does not compromise β-carotene absorption in poultry
(Springer International Publishing, 2017)High-carotenoid (HC) maize, a biofortified staple crop which accumulates β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin, was used as a feed component in a chicken feeding trial to assess the bioavailability of provitamin ... -
Pseudomonas graminis strain CPA-7 differentially modulates the oxidative response in fresh-cut ‘Golden delicious’ apple depending on the storage conditions
(Elsevier, 2018)The oxidative response in fresh-cut antioxidant-treated ‘Golden delicious’ apples during chilling storage was differentially modified by the biopreservative bacterium Pseudomonas graminis CPA-7 depending on the storage ... -
Pulsed electric field treatment strategies to increase bioaccessibility of phenolic and carotenoid compounds in oil-added carrot purees
(Elsevier, 2021-06-16)The impact of pulsed electric fields (PEF) and their combination with a thermal treatment on the bioaccessibility of phenolic and carotenoid compounds in oil-added carrot puree (5 %) was investigated. Fractions of such ... -
Pulsed electric fields affect endogenous enzyme activities, respiration and biosynthesis of phenolic compounds in carrots
(Elsevier, 2020-07-10)Pulsed electric fields (PEF) can be applied to induce accumulation of bioactive compounds in plant tissues to obtain commodities with health-promoting properties. However, causes of this accumulation are not fully un- ... -
Purple, high β-glucan, hulless barley as valuable ingredient for functional food
(Elsevier, 2020)Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) stands out for its high content on bioactive compounds although it is not frequently found in human food. In this study, a purple hulless barley genotype was used to explore its food potential. ... -
Quality and bioaccessibility of total phenols and antioxidant activity of calçots (Allium cepa L.) stored under controlled atmosphere conditions
