Unveiling the impact of thermal water in German chamomile infusions: effects on...
Silveira, Tayse Ferreira; Echegaray, Noemí; Guimarães, Rafaela; Lemos, André; Pires, Tânia C.S.P.; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.; Alves, Maria JoséGerman chamomile (GC) and thermal water (TW) are widely known for their biological properties. This study explored whether combining GC with TW could promote an improvement in the bioactivities of GC infusions compared to using drinking water (DW). DW was tested at 100 ◦C (GC-100DW) and TW at both 100 ◦C (GC-100TW) and 60 ◦C (GC-60TW). The use of TW for preparing infusions was associated with the reduction of t...
Influence of feeding system on Longissimus thoracis et lumborum volatile compou...
Echegaray, Noemí; Domínguez, Rubén; Cadavez, Vasco; Bermúdez Piedra, Roberto; Pateiro, Mirian; Gonzales-Barron, Ursula; Lorenzo Rodriguez, Jose ManuelThe chemical composition and volatile profile of the Longissimus thoracis et lumborum muscle of lambs reared in two distinct production systems (intensive and extensive) was evaluated. For this, sixty-six lambs for meat production of the autochthonous Gallega Iberian breed were raised with concentrate and grass in intensive (30 animals) and extensive (36 animals) system, respectively, until 4–4.5 months of age ...
Influence of the production system (Intensive vs. extensive) at farm level on p...
Echegaray, Noemí; Domínguez, Rubén; Cadavez, Vasco; Bermúdez Piedra, Roberto; Purriños, Laura; Gonzales-Barron, Ursula; Hoffman, EttieneToday’s society demands healthy meat with a special emphasis on integrated animal husbandry combined with the concern for animal welfare. In this sense, the raising of lambs in an extensive system has been one of the most common practices, which results in meats with high nutritional value. However, both the production system and the diet play a fundamental role in the chemical composition of the meat, which ha...
Fatty acid profile of lamb meat from two portuguese autochthonous breeds
Pateiro, Mirian; Gonzales-Barron, Ursula; Echegaray, Noemí; Purriños, Laura; Carvalho, Francisco A.L.; Franco, Daniel; Munekata, Paulo E.S.In Portugal, sheep and goat meat production accounts for 2.8% of the total meat production in the country; and it is capable of supplying approximately 82% of the domestic demand (INE, 2015). Churra-Galega-Bragançana (CGB) and Bordaleira-entre-Douro-e-Minho (BEDM) are two native breeds of the north of Portugal, classified as endangered lamb breeds. These breeds are exploited for meat production, the former in t...
