Use of predictive modelling as tool for prevention of fungal spoilage at different points of the food chain
(Elsevier, 2021)Moulds cause severe economic losses at different points of plant food commodities production, from the field to the final foodstuffs. Predictive modelling is an increasingly used tool applied to solve different issues in ... -
Use of Weibull distribution for describing kinetics of antioxidant potential changes in fresh-cut watermelon
(Elsevier, 2009)Changes in antioxidant capacity, vitamin C, lycopene and total phenolic compound retention of fresh-cut watermelon stored at selected temperatures (5–20 C) for 14 days storage were accurately described by a Weibull ... -
Usefulness of the analytical control of aflatoxins in feedstuffs for dairy cows for the prevention of aflatoxin M1 in milk
(Springer Nature, 2019)Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is a hydroxylated metabolite of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and can be excreted in milk of cows after consuming aflatoxin (AF)-contaminated feed. The aim of this research was to assess the levels of total AFs ... -
Using polysaccharide-based edible coatings to enhance quality and antioxidant properties of fresh-cut melon
(Elsevier, 2008)The effect of alginate, pectin and gellan-based edible coatings on the shelf-life of fresh-cut ‘Piel de Sapo’ melon was investigated. Gas exchange, antioxidant properties, color, firmness, sensory quality and microbial ... -
Using the Mitschka-Briggs-Steffe method for evaluation of cactus pear concentrated pulps rheological behavior
(De Gruyter, 2012)The rheological characterization of food is important for efficient product and process design. Although its importance in semi-arid regions, there are only a few studies regarding the rheological properties of cactus ... -
Validation of dried blood spot cards to determine apple phenolic metabolites in human blood and plasma after an acute intake of red-fleshed apple snack
(Wiley, 2018)Scope: The application of dried blood spot (DBS) cards for the study in human blood of dietary polyphenol bioavailability has been poorly studied. Methods and results: An analytical method based on blood sampling with DBS ... -
Valorization of agro-food by-products and their potential therapeutic applications
(Elsevier, 2021)Agro-food industries generate a huge amount of fruit and vegetable wastes. These residues are composed by structural parts (leaves, peels, pulps, seeds, roots and stems) after the extraction of their juices, and they are ... -
Valorization of onion waste by obtaining extracts rich in phenolic compounds and feasibility of its therapeutic use on colon cancer
(MDPI, 2022)In this study, the total phenolic content, the antioxidant and antiproliferative activities of onion waste extracts were characterized. Some phenolic compounds present in the extracts were also identified and quantified ... -
Variation in the impact of stem scar and cuticle on water loss in highbush blueberry fruit argue for the use of water permeance as a selection criterion in breeding
(Elsevier, 2017)The role of fruit scar on water loss from fresh harvested, fully blue highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) fruit was studied on three germplasm lines from each of three half-sib families at University of Talca, ... -
Variation in the methylation of caffeoylquinic acids and urinary excretion of 3′-methoxycinnamic acid-4′-sulfate after apple consumption by volunteers
