Actividad antioxidante, composición nutrimental y funcional de flores comestibles de Dalia
(Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, 2014)In Mexico, Dahlia flowers are commonly consumed in different type of dishes; however, there are no reports on characteristics as a functional food. Proximate composition, minerals, vitamin C, phenolic compounds, total ... -
Adhesion and invasion of Listeria monocytogenes and interaction with Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG after habituation on fresh-cut pear
(Elsevier Ltd, 2017-07)Several foods are carriers of probiotic bacteria. Most species of the genus Lactobacillus are probiotics and common inhabitants of the human gastrointestinal tract. It is known that they contribute to the health of ... -
Aflatoxin B1, ochratoxin A and zearalenone in sorghum grains marketed in Tunisia
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-02)A total of 64 samples of sorghum (37 Tunisian sorghum samples and 27 Egyptian sorghum samples) were collected during 2011 – 2012 from markets in Tunisia. Samples were analysed for contamination with aflatoxin B1, ... -
Aflatoxins and ochratoxin A in pistachios sampled in Spain: occurrence and presence of mycotoxigenic fungi
(Taylor & Francis, 2010)A survey of the fungal contamination and occurrence of aflatoxins and ochratoxin A (OTA) in 50 pistachio nutsamples collected from commercial stores around Catalonia (Spain) was carried out.Aspergillus flavuswas foundin ... -
An attempt to model the probability of growth and aflatoxin B1 production of Aspergillus flavus under non-isothermal conditions in pistachio nuts
(Elsevier, 2015)Human exposure to aflatoxins in foods is of great concern. The aim of this work was to use predictive mycology as a strategy to mitigate the aflatoxin burden in pistachio nuts postharvest. The probability of growth and ... -
An attempt to optimize potassium sorbate use to preserve low pH (4.5–5.5) intermediate moisture bakery products by modelling Eurotium spp., Aspergillus spp. and Penicillium corylophilum growth
(Elsevier, 2005)Mould growth was modelled on fermented bakery product analogues (FBPA) of two different pH (4.5 and 5.5), different water activity (aw) levels (0.80–0.90) and potassium sorbate concentrations (0–0.3%) by using seven moulds ... -
An Enterobacteriaceae species isolated from apples controls foodborne pathogens on fresh-cut apples and peaches
(Elsevier, 2012)Currently, chlorine is the most widely used decontaminant in the minimally processed (MP) food industry. However, it does not achieve more than a 1–2 log reduction in bacterial populations. Efficient decontamination of MP ... -
An insight into the reactions occurring during the chemical activation of bone char
(Elsevier B.V, 2014-09-01)The valorisation of animal wastes by pyrolysis has shown to be of interest, due to the versatility of the main compound of char, hydroxyapatite (HAP), which can be used in catalysis, electrochemistry, and adsorption. The ... -
Analysis of changes in protein abundance after wounding in"Golden Delicious" apples.
(Elsevier, 2014)The apple (Malus×domestica Borkh.) cultivar (cv)"Golden Delicious" is one of the most important apple varieties worldwide, and is widely cultivated for export of fruit to Europe and other countries. However, if damaged, ... -
Analysis of the time-dependent protein changes in wounded apples (Golden delicious).
(International Society for Horticultural Science, 2014)Malus × domestica Borkh."Golden Delicious" is one of the most important apple cultivars worldwide. However, if damaged, the fruit becomes susceptible to opportunistic infection by postharvest phytopathogens such as Botrytis ... -
Antagonistic effect of probiotic bacteria against foodborne pathogens on fresh-cut pear
(Elsevier Ltd, 2017-08)The use of probiotics as biopreservation agents of foodborne pathogens in food is becoming increasingly known. The aim of this work was to investigate the effectiveness of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (L rham. GG) and ... -
Antagonistic effect of Pseudomonas graminis CPA-7 against foodborne pathogens in fresh-cut apples under simulated commercial conditions
(Elsevier, 2013)Recently, we reported that the application of the strain CPA-7 of Pseudomonas graminis, previously isolated from apple, could reduce the population of foodborne pathogens on minimally processed (MP) apples and peaches under ... -
