Adding value to stalked barnacles from Berlengas Nature Reserve (Portugal) by t...

In this work, a new and natural food product, stalked barnacle (Pollicipes Pollicipes) pâté enriched with blackberry, was developed to valorise the rejected stalked barnacle. To evaluate the addition of blackberry fruits (Rubus ulmifolius Schott.) as a natural preservative on pâté quality, four pâté sample groups were considered: a negative control without a synthetic additive (CTR), a positive control with but...

A pilot plant scale testing of the application of seaweed-based natural coating...

Codium tomentosum hydroethanolic extract was obtained using a pilot solid–liquid extractor to validate the anti-browning functionality of the extract under industrial conditions. Fresh-cut apple slices were coated by immersion in: (1) a seaweed extract solution (0.5% w/v) and (2) a commercial coating, and the two sets of samples were compared with a control (immersion in water). Packaged samples were stored, un...

Temporal changes in sex-specific color attributes and carotenoid concentration ...

The market value of sea urchin roe (female and male gonads) depends on several quality criteria, such as size, color, texture, and flavor. Sea urchins given dry pellet feed often produce large gonads, but the preferred bright orange color has been difficult to achieve without the inclusion of supplementary dietary carotenoids. Gonad color depends on carotenoid concentrations (CC), and is influenced by several f...

Effect of heat treatment on smoothie quality by response surface methodology

Smoothies are a popular and convenient way for to consume bioactive compounds from fruits and vegetables such as total phenolics, carotenoids and flavonoids, with the preservation treatment being an important action to guarantee the safety and extension of shelf-life. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the impact of heat treatment (HT) on smoothie prepared with “Fuji “apple (41%), pineapple (31%), cabb...

Quality changes of carrots under different frozen storage conditions: a kinetic...

In order to improve the overall quality of frozen carrots (Daucus carota L.), the degradation kinetics of several attributes were quantified during frozen storage under isothermal and nonisothermal conditions. The experimental results showed that the analyzed quality parameters were significantly affected by both tested frozen regimes. For both storage conditions, the degradation of color parameters and drip lo...

Impact of aqueous extract of arbutus unedo fruits on limpets (Patella spp.) pât...

Limpets are molluscs widely used in food diet and much appreciated in many regions. The consumption of fishery products rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids has been increasing through filleted products and restructured products. Since food oxidation is the major cause of nutritional quality deterioration in fish products, the interest in the replacement of synthetic antioxidants with natural sources, namely in ...

Quality changes during thermal processing of two mixed formulas of fruits and v...

The present work aimed to evaluate, through thermal degradation kinetics (80 °C to 98 °C in time intervals of 0.5 to 25 min), the effects of different thermal treatments on the biochemical, physicochemical, sensory and microbiological parameters of two mixed fruit and vegetable pulps, a yellow and a red one. The evaluated fruit and vegetable pulps resulted from the mixture of different fruits and vegetables pro...
