Evaluation of pulsed electric field-assisted extraction on the microstructure and recovery of nutrients and bioactive compounds from mushroom (Agaric…
2022
Pulsed electric field (PEF) is a sustainable innovative technology that allows for the recovery of nutrients and bioactive compounds from vegetable matrices. A. bisporus was chosen for its nutritional value and the effect of PEF pretreatment was evaluated using different conditions of electric field (2–3 kV/cm), specific energy (50–200 kJ/kg) and extraction time (0–6 h) to obtain the best conditions for nutrient and bioactive compound extraction. Spectrophotometric methods were used to evaluate the different compounds, along with an analysis of mineral content by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and the surface was evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In …
Influence of Geographical Location of Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) on the Recovery of Bioactive Compounds Assisted by Pulsed Electric Fields
2022
Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) has been consumed by humans since ancient times. It is rich in high added-value compounds such as chlorophylls, carotenoids and polyphenols. Pulsed electric fields (PEF) is an innovative non-thermal technique that improves the extraction of bioactive compounds from diverse sources. PEF pre-treatment (3 kV/cm, 100 kJ/kg) combined with supplementary extraction with binary solvents at different times was evaluated to obtain the optimal conditions for extraction. In addition, the results obtained were compared with conventional treatment (without PEF pre-treatment and constant shaking) and different strains of Spirulina from diverse geographical locations. The …
Lipid content and essential fatty acid (EFA) composition of mature Congolese breast milk are influenced by mothers' nutritional status: Impact on inf…
1998
To measure the lipid content and the fatty acid (FA) composition of breast milk as part of a nutritional survey of the essential fatty acid (EFA) status of 5 months old Congolese infants.Cross sectional nutrition survey.A suburban district of Brazzaville (capital of the Congo).A random sample of nursing mothers and their 5 months old infants (n = 102). Data collection procedures: The mothers were questioned on their socio-economic status, dietary habits, and their body mass index (BMI) was measured. Breast milk samples were collected from each mother. Milk lipid content and fatty acid composition were determined.Compared with milk from various countries, Congolese women's mature breast milk…
Prevalence and Risk of Anisakid Larvae in Fresh Fish Frequently Consumed in Spain: An Overview
2019
Anisakidosis is a fish-borne zoonosis caused by parasitic nematodes of the family Anisakidae, of which the species belonging to Anisakis simplex complex are the most representative. It is considered an emerging disease in Spain. The objective of this study is to analyse the presence of larvae in fish frequently consumed in Spanish supermarkets, inferring the risk of infection. In total 1,786 specimens of 9 different fish species, from two geographical origins (Atlantic and Mediterranean), acquired fresh and not eviscerated were examined for anisakid nematodes. Analysis showed that 33.7% of the samples were parasitized by Anisakis larvae. The horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) presented th…
Medicina i religió a la Baixa Edat Mitjana: rerefons mèdic de les pràctiques penitencials en els sermons de sant Vicent Ferrer
2014
Resum: És ben conegut que Vicent Ferrer va ser un fervorós partidari de pràctiques penitencials rigoroses, com ara els dejunis, la vigília i, sobretot, la disciplina fins l"efusió de sang. La companyia que el seguia practicava totes aquestes penitències, seguint les instruccions del predicador. Especialment significativa i polèmica era la seua adhesió a les virtuts espirituals del cilici i el flagell, utilitzats per ell mateix i pels seus seguidors. Enfront de les demandes i protestes, especialment de clergues, pel dany per a la salut que aquestes pràctiques suposaven, Ferrer va utilitzar tot un seguit d"arguments mèdics i filosòfics inspirats en el galenisme i l"aristotelisme, per tal de j…
Alimentos adulterados y defunciones : apuntes para el estudio de la vida obrera en España
Alimentació a l'Eivissa púnica (segles V a II a.E.)
2015
L’objecte d’estudi d’aquesta tesi ha estat la recerca sobre els diferents patrons alimentaris tant en una geografia com una cronologia molt concreta: l’illa d’Eivissa durant els segles V al II, en el període denominat púnic clàssic i tardà. L’abundant informació arqueològica, així com les fonts clàssiques, han sigut essencials per discernir les diverses conductes nutricionals segons els diversos àmbits i períodes analitzats. Igualment, hem prestat especial atenció als estudis específics sobre la fauna, les analítiques de continguts de recipients ceràmics i els isòtops estables a ossos humans. No hem dubtat en recórrer a altres situacions paral·leles que podem trobar en altres jaciments púni…
Electronic Sensor Technologies in Monitoring Quality of Tea: A Review.
2022
Tea, after water, is the most frequently consumed beverage in the world. The fermentation of tea leaves has a pivotal role in its quality and is usually monitored using the laboratory analytical instruments and olfactory perception of tea tasters. Developing electronic sensing platforms (ESPs), in terms of an electronic nose (e-nose), electronic tongue (e-tongue), and electronic eye (e-eye) equipped with progressive data processing algorithms, not only can accurately accelerate the consumer-based sensory quality assessment of tea, but also can define new standards for this bioactive product, to meet worldwide market demand. Using the complex data sets from electronic signals integrated with…
Contribution à la caractérisation de la mémoire des aliments
2008
Memory plays a fundamental role in the acquisition of food likes and dislikes. As a consequence, a better understanding food memory will contribute to a better understanding food choice and behavior. This work sets out several experiments based on a common recognition paradigm: during a first session, participants are exposed to the food to be remembered (target) under conditions ensuring incidental learning. After a certain retention interval, participants are asked to recognize the target among a set of distractors with a flavor and/or a texture slightly different from the target. In line with previous works on food memory, three main results emerged from this work. First, participants of…
Distinguishing between two crus : as easy as picking the right side ? : Effect of expertise on conceptual and perceptual representations of Beaujolai…
2017
L’expertise a été étudiée en psychologie cognitive afin de comprendre les mécanismes psychologiques et les compétences intervenant dans différents domaines d’expertise. Dans le domaine du vin, les quelques études menées suggèrent que les experts organiseraient leurs connaissances autour de « prototypes » de couleur ou de cépage. L’objectif général de cette thèse visait à répondre aux questionnements théoriques concernant les représentations des vins d’experts et de novices, ainsi qu’aux questionnements de la filière concernant les perceptions des vins du Beaujolais. Pour cela, l’effet de l’expertise sur les représentations des vins a été évalué en comparant les performances de trois panels …
