This study was carried out to test the hypothesis that the inclusion of condensed tannins (CT) from rockrose (Cistus ladanifer L.) and quebracho (Schinopsis lorentzii) in dairy goat diets supplemented with vegetable oil rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) can increase the potentially healthy fatty acids (FA) in milk and cheese fat, without compromising animal performance and milk and cheese composition. ...
"Queijo de Nisa" is a traditional Portuguese cheese, granted with PDO label, produced with raw ewe's milk in which the aqueous extract of cardoon flower Cynara cardunculus L. is the only coagulant allowed. As in similar cheeses with no use of starter cultures or pasteurisation, the quality and food safety are depending on prevention, high hygienic standards and a proper manufacturing process. This study investi...
A análise sensorial, como nenhum tipo de teste físico e químico, compreende assim uma série de técnicas que visam conhecer as respostas da população quanto a um determinado alimento, tentando minimizar a possível influência da marca ou de outro fator na perceção do consumidor (Lawless & Heymann, 2010). Considerando a importância da análise sensorial na indústria alimentar, este curso resume de uma forma geral a...
A análise sensorial tem-se revelado cada vez mais indispensável à avaliação e valorização de produtos alimentares, quer seja para colocar em evidência um determinado produto, ou para o aperfeiçoamento e melhoramento de um processo tecnológico. Desta forma, a prestação dos provadores vai constituir um objeto de estudo intensivo, na medida em que a fiabilidade dos dados recolhidos, acerca de determinado alimento,...

ValBioTecCynara aims to address the natural C cardunculus L genetic, molecular, morphologic, and biochemical variabilities, as a combined strategy to identify individuals with certain and specific required profiles C cardunculus L is used as a coagulant for cheesemaking where the respective use is mandatory in certain cheeses benefiting from Protected Designation of Origin ( 1 The potential of 15 different C ca...
CYNARA CARDUNCULUS. L AQUEOUS EXTRACT EFFECT ON DEGRADATION, HYDROLYSIS AND CASEIN PROFILE OF SERPA CHEESE ABSTRACT: The effect of Cynara cardunculus L. aqueous extracts (C1, C2, C3) was studied on Serpa PDO cheese proteolysis, during maturation (D1, D14, D35). Proteolysis was assessed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with urea and by Kjeldahl methods. A casein profile pattern was found, and results showed...
