Almonds (Prunus amygdalus Batsch) are consumed worldwide, with great economic importance in Spain. In the present work, six varieties collected in Valencia (Spain) were characterised: 'Desmayo Rojo', 'Guara', 'Desmayo Largueta' and 'Marcona' (Spanish varieties), and 'Ferraduel' and 'Ferragn & egrave;s' (French varieties). The different varieties differed significantly in nutritional composition, fatty acid prof...
This work aimed to study the production, for the first time, of three fermented products of chestnut puree (CP) withmilk kefir grains, a higher nisin-producing (Lactococcus (L.) lactis CECT 539) and a higher lactic acid-producing (Lactobacillus (Lb.) casei CECT 4043) lactic acid bacteria (LAB). After studying the CP rheology, the ability of the two LAB to assimilate the carbon sources (starch, sucrose, glucose,...
In this study, for the first time, red LED light radiation was applied to the fermentation process of table olives using the Negrinha de Freixo variety. Photostimulation using LED light emission (630 ± 10 nm) is proposed to shorten and speed up this stage and reduce time to market. Several physical-chemical characteristics and microorganisms (total microbial count of mesophilic aerobic, molds, yeasts, and lacti...
This study aimed to evaluate and identify the microbial community attached to the surfaces of fermenter tanks used in table olive Negrinha de Freixo cultivar processing through molecular analysis and verify if the cleaning/ disinfection was done correctly. Four fermentation tanks previously used in table olive processing were sampled at three different inside areas: upper, middle, and lower. Before sampling, fo...
Atualmente, a Estratégia do Prado ao Prato, além de continuar a querer garantir a rastreabilidade dos produtos, visa criar sistemas alimentares mais justos, que promovam a saúde dos consumidores e sejam amigos do ambiente. A pandemia de COVID-19 e a guerra na Ucrânia demonstraram que os sistemas alimentares têm que ser resilientes e, portanto, sustentáveis.; Currently, the Farm to Fork Strategy, in addition to ...
The European chestnut tree (Castanea sativa Mill.) has great economic importance, mostly due to the recognized nutritional value of its fruit. Thus, the development and improvement of the techniques of the production, preservation, and control of the diseases/pests of chestnut trees is a topic of great interest to producers, companies, researchers, and consumers to ensure the quality of this exceptional fruit. ...
Featured Application The findings of the present review study can be of great importance for European chestnut producers. The causal agent of brown rot causes significant economic losses and increases the amount of waste, not meeting sustainability principles. The European chestnut tree (Castanea sativa Mill.) has great economic importance, mostly due to the recognized nutritional value of its fruit. Thus, the ...
