SalivaPrint: sheep saliva electrophoretic protein profile in a bioinformatics a...

Effects of spoilage on nitrogen and carbon stable isotopes signatures of the cl...

Fish and seafood products are highly susceptible to post-mortem spoilage due to autolytic reactions at start, then microbiological activity and eventually oxidative reactions. Chemical and microbiological parameters are usually used to assess quality and make decisions for protecting public health, but they lack precision in defining which spoilage pathway is occurring at each moment. The objective of this work...

SalivaPrint: sheep saliva electrophoretic protein profile in a bioinformatics a...

Introduction: Sheep saliva is a fluid with properties relevant for the evaluation of individual wellbeing and disease states. It can be used for individual monitoring and decision aiding in therapeutic intervention. The total protein profile of each subject (SalivaPrint) can be integrated with clinical and environmental data to stratify individuals and analyze their health status. This strategy can also support...

Microbiological quality and safety of minimally processed fruits in the marketp...

The availability of fresh-cut fruit (FCF) in the marketplace has been increasing in Portugal, although reports of its microbial quality are not known. Due to the growing concerns of these commodities over their microbial safety, the objectives of this work were to study the microbiological quality and prevalence of Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes on fresh-cut fruits sold in southern Portugal. A study to e...

OvisOme: atualização da base de dados de Ovis aries

Introduction: The Omics sciences are part of the research and diagnostic routines in human health. However, their application in veterinary sciences is still sparse, albeit the increasing number of proteomics studies published, especially regarding farm animals. The amount of information accumulated by these high throughput techniques, makes the existence of specialized databases fundamental. These databases ar...

Muxma and Estupeta: traditional food products obtained from tuna loins in South...

Tuna is a generic name for fi sh from the Scombridae family, which includes about 50 species, mostly from the Thunnus genus. Tuna is a very important commercial resource widely but sparsely distributed throughout the oceans of the world that generally occurs in tropical and temperate waters between about 45° north and south of the equator (FAO 2010 ). Because of high muscular activity, some tuna species display...

Sensometrics: a análise sensorial de bebidas numa perspetiva estatística

A utilização de pessoas como instrumentos de medida, desde «simples» consumidores a participar em estu-dos de mercado até provadores treinados ou peritos integrando painéis de provadores, é cada vez mais importante no desenvolvimento e controlo de qualidade de produtos alimentares e de bebidas. O vinho é uma bebida fascinante e complexa, na qual uma grande multiplicidade de aromas e sabores po-dem ser identific...

A sensory and nutritional comparison of mussels (Mytilus sp.) produced in NW Ib...

A biometric, nutritional and sensory analysis of raw and cooked mussels comparing Mytilus sp. from the north-west coast of Portugal and Spain (Minho and Galicia, respectively) and the new offshore production site of Armona (Algarve, south Portugal) was carried out. In addition, multiple factorial analysis was performed to explore potential relationships between sensory attributes and nutritional content propert...

Effects of different thawing methods on the quality of meagre fillets

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different thawing methods (air, refrigerator, water and microwave) on physical, chemical and microbiological quality of meagre fillets which were frozen and stored at -20°C for 21 days. The samples were compared for colour changes, pH, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), hardness, adhesiveness, total viable count (TVC), total psychrophilic count (TPC) and ...

OvinOralOme: Ovis aries oral proteome database

Introduction: Tools to store and catalog proteins identified in proteome surveys of tissues from subjects representing different physiological and pathological states are powerful instruments to integrate published information. Much of the information on molecular mechanisms can be generated using bioinformatics strategies powered by this tools. Within the scope of previous projects a database named OralOme was...
