Strategies to reduce microbial risk and improve quality of fresh and processed strawberries: A review
(Elsevier, 2019-03)Strawberries are one of the most important fruits in the Mediterranean diet and have been widely investigatedfor their nutritional and nutraceutical properties. Concern about the safety of fresh and processed strawberrieshas ... -
Strawberry sanitization by peracetic acid washing and its effect on fruit quality
(Elsevier, 2019-05-15)The risk posed by outbreaks associated with strawberries together with the safety issues of by-products from chlorine disinfection in the fruit industry has led to a search for alternative sanitizers. The disinfection ... -
Studies on the biocontrol mechanisms of Pseudomonas graminis strain CPA-7 against food-borne pathogens in vitro and on fresh-cut melon
(Elsevier, 2017)The present study was aimed at gaining insight into the mode of action of the antagonistic bacteria Pseudomonas graminis CPA-7, which has been previously identified as an effective biocontrol agent against Listeria ... -
Studies on the interaction between grape-associated filamentous fungi on a synthetic medium
(Elsevier, 2007)Eleven fungi isolated from grapes and sun-dried grapes (Alternaria alternata, Cladosporium herbarum, Eurotium amstelodami, Penicillium janthinellum, P. decumbens, Trichoderma harzianum, Candida sp., Aspergillus carbonarius ... -
Study of the catabolism of thyme phenols combining in-vitro fermentation and human intervention.
(American Chemical Society, 2014)The gut metabolism of four thyme phenolics (monoterpenes thymol and carvacrol, rosmarinic acid, and eriodictyol) was evaluated in vitro. After the in vitro transformations of the individual phenols had been studied, the ... -
Suitability of nectarine cultivars for minimal processing: The role of genotype, harvest season and maturity at harvest on quality and sensory attributes
(Elsevier, 2014-02-07)Six cling-stone melting nectarine cultivars (‘Big Top’, ‘Luciana’, ‘Honey Royale’, ‘Nectareine’, ‘Big Nectared’ and ‘Nectalady’) were cut and dipped into an aqueous solution of 2% ascorbic acid, 1% citric acid and 1% calcium ... -
Suppression of Botrytis cinerea on necrotic grapevine tissues by early season applications of natural products and biological control agents
(Wiley, 2014)BACKGROUND: Necrotic tissues within grape (Vitisvinifera) bunches represent an important source of Botrytiscinerea inoculum for Botrytis bunch rot (BBR) at harvest in vineyards. This research quantified the incidence of ... -
Surface decontamination of spinach by intense pulsed light treatments: impact on quality attributes
(Elsevier, 2016)Intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments constitute an emerging non-thermal technology proposed to decontaminate food surfaces. In this study, the bactericidal effect of IPL against Listeria innocua and Escherichia coli ... -
Survey of mycotoxins in beer and exposure assessment through the consumption of commercially available beer in Lleida, Spain
(Elsevier, 2018)A multianalyte method, using a MS/MS detector, was applied for a simultaneous determination of 23 mycotoxins in 64 beer products purchased from the supermarket in Lleida, Spain. The samples varied by their origin, brewing ... -
Survey: Ochratoxin A in European special wines
(Elsevier, 2008)The occurrence of Ochratoxin A (OTA) was examined in 121 special wines made using different winemaking techniques and from many European origins. The wine groups with the highest OTA content and occurrence, above 90%, ... -
Survival of the biological control agent Candida sake CPA-1 on grapes under the influence of abiotic factors
(The Society for Applied Microbiology, 2014)AIMS: As reliability of preharvest applications of biological control agents (BCAs) to control fruit pathogens is highly dependent on the survival of the selected organism, this study aimed to describe the population ... -
Sustainable Synthesis of Omega-3 Fatty Acid Ethyl Esters from Monkfish Liver Oil
(MDPI, 2021-01-13)The search for economic and sustainable sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) within the framework of the circular economy is encouraged by their proven beneficial effects on health. The extraction of monkfish ... -
Synthesis of poly(ethyl acrylate-co-allyl acrylates) from acrylate mixtures prepared by a continuous solvent-free enzymatic process
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2012)A miniaturized, packed-bed, continuous-flow reactor to carry out the enzymatic interesterification of ethyl acrylate with diverse allyl aliphatic esters is described. CALB (lipase B from Candida antarctica immobilized on ... -
Targeting Fusarium graminearum control via polyamine enzyme inhibitors and polyamine analogs
(Elsevier, 2015-01-31)Fusarium graminearum not only reduces yield and seed quality but also constitutes a risk to public or animal health owing to its ability to contaminate grains with mycotoxins. Resistance problems are emerging and control ... -
