Occurrence and dietary exposure assessment to Enniatin B through consumption of cereal-based products in Spain and the Catalonia Region
(MDPI, 2023)Enniatin B (ENNB) is a mycotoxin produced by moulds from the Fusarium genera and its toxic effects are still not fully elucidated, hence a safe reference exposure value has not been established yet. ENNB is the most prevalent ... -
Enhancing the gastrointestinal stability of curcumin by using sodium alginate-based nanoemulsions containing natural emulsifiers
(MDPI, 2022)Curcumin presents interesting biological activities but low chemical stability, so it has been incorporated into different emulsion-based systems in order to increase its bioaccessibility. Many strategies are being ... -
Ultraviolet applications to control patulin produced by penicillium expansum CMP-1 in Apple products and study of further patulin degradation products formation and toxicity
(Springer, 2022)Patulin is a mycotoxin whose presence in apple-derived products and fruit juices is legally regulated, being its maximum limits established in the legislation of multiple countries. However, the management of contaminated ... -
The effect of Sodium carboxymethylcellulose on the stability and bioaccessibility of anthocyanin water-in-oil-in-water emulsions
(Springer Nature, 2018-09-21)Water-in-oil-in-water (W1/O/W2) emulsions provide protective encapsulation to plant bioactive compounds in food matrix and under gastrointestinal conditions. However, the stability of the emulsions during the storage is ... -
Impact of phenol-enriched olive oils on serum metabonome and its relationship with cardiometabolic parameters: a randomized, deouble-blind, cross-over, controlled trial
(MDPI, 2022)Phenol-rich foods consumption such as virgin olive oil (VOO) has been shown to have beneficial effects on cardiovascular diseases. The broader biochemical impact of VOO and phenol-enriched OOs remains, however, unclear. A ... -
In vitro digestibility of O/W emulsions co-ingested with complex meals: Influence of the food matrix
(Elsevier, 2022)Oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions are promising delivery systems of lipophilic bioactive compounds into meals composed mainly of water. The colloidal stability of β-carotene-loaded O/W emulsion incorporated into whole milk, ... -
Hybrid sausages: modelling the effect of partial meat replacement with broccoli, upcycled brewer's spent grain and insect flours
(MDPI, 2022)The social, environmental and health concerns associated with the massive consumption of meat products has resulted in calls for a reduction in meat consumption. A simplex lattice design was used for studying the effect ... -
Firmness and cell wall changes during maturation of ‘Arbequina’ olive fruit: the impact of irrigation
(MDPI, 2022)The olive tree (Olea europaea L.) has been cultivated around the Mediterranean basin since ancient times, ‘Arbequina’ being one of the most widely grown varieties. To improve the knowledge on ripening-related firmness ... -
Physicochemical properties and bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds of dietary fibre concentrates from vegetable by-products
(MDPI, 2022)The agro-food industry generates a large volume of by-products, whose revaluation is essential for the circular economy. From these by-products, dietary fibre concentrates (DFCs) can be obtained. Therefore, the objective ... -
Polyphenol Intake in Pregnant Women on Gestational Diabetes Risk and Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Offspring: A Systematic Review
(MDPI, 2022)The intake of foods containing polyphenols can have a protective role to avoid comorbidities during pregnancy and, at the same time, promote transgenerational health. This review aims to describe the effect of polyphenol ... -
Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) peel extracts as antimicrobial and antioxidant additives used in alfalfa sprouts
(MDPI, 2022)Aqueous and ethanolic pomegranate peel extracts (PPE) were studied as a source of phenolic compounds with antimicrobial, anti-quorum sensing, and antioxidant properties. The aqueous extract showed higher total phenolic ... -
Desirability-based optimization of bakery products containing pea, hemp and insect flours using mixture design methodology
