Malolactic fermentation (MLF) is an important step in the production of wines and is commonly performed in red or cool climate wines to reduce acidity. In this study the impact of MLF on red wine color and the ability of Oenococcus oeni to degrade compounds important to the development of...
The taste qualities of acidulants have not been studied in detail despite
the fact that they are widely used by the food industry. Studies on
characterizing the sensory properties of organic and inorganic acids are very
limited. Reported studies are commonly on threshold, equi-sour and the time
intensity values of...
Dysfunction of mitochondria has been linked to aging and the pathogenesis of many degenerative diseases. Aside from their primary function in energy production, mitochondria are considered as a major source and target of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) in cells as well. The mitochondrial thiol proteome is a subset...
The objectives were to investigate the ability of a two-factor
central composite rotatable design (CCRD), using cooking temperature
(CT) and endpoint temperature (ET) as independent variables, to
predict selected chemical, physical and sensory meat quality
characteristics considered important by the industry, researcher and
consumer alike. Response surface analysis (RSA) was...
