Dry-cured sausages are traditional in Mediterranean countries, and Paio do Alentejo (PA) is one of the most popular in South Portugal. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the effect of combined starters on the safety and quality of PA preserving its sensory quality. Physicochemical parameters, namely pH and water activity (aW), microbiological parameters, biogenic amines, color, texture, and sensory att...

It is widely recognized that active travel, in particularly cycling, provides diverse economic, environmental and health benefits both for tourism destinations and for the tourists. However, the number of tourists who use the bicycle is still very limited, especially youth tourists. Moreover, the literature in this field is not fully explored. To expand the knowledge in this field, this paper aim...
