Abstract: The effects of several fat replacement levels (0%, 35%, 50%, 70%, and 100%) by inulin in sponge cake microstructure physicochemical properties were studied. Oil substitution for decreased significantly ( P < 0.05) batter viscosity, giving heterogeneous bubbles size distributions as it was observed light microscopy. Using confocal laser scanning microscopy the to be located at bubbles’ interface, enabling an optimum crumb structure development during baking. Cryo‐SEM micrographs...
Power ultrasound application on convective drying of foodstuffs may be considered an emergent technology. This work deals with the influence power natural materials addressing kinetic as well product's microstructure. Convective kinetics orange peel slabs (thickness 5.95±0.41 mm) were carried out at 40 ∘C and 1 m/s (US) without (AIR) application. A diffusion model considering external resistance to mass transfer was describe kinetics. Fresh, US AIR dried samples analyzed using Cryo-SEM....
Understanding the nature of pathogen host interaction may help improve strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) cultivars. Plant resistance to pathogenic agents usually operates through a complex network defense mechanisms mediated by diverse array signaling molecules. In strawberry, variety pathogens has been reported be mostly polygenic and quantitatively inherited, making it difficult associate molecular markers with disease genes. Colletotrichum acutatum spp. is major pathogen, completely...
In south-western Spain, Macrophomina phaseolina and Fusarium solani were found to be associated in strawberry plants with, respectively, charcoal rot, crown root rot symptoms. For management of both fungal diseases, the antagonistic effects two commercial formulations, one based on Trichoderma asperellum T18 strain (Prodigy®) other Bacillus megaterium B. laterosporus (Fusbact®), evaluated vitro under controlled environment field conditions. Two inoculation methods (root-dipping soil...
Background and Purpose Angiotensin II ( AngII ) IL ‐1β are involved in cardiovascular diseases through the induction of inflammatory pathways. HuR is an adenylate‐ uridylate‐rich element ARE )‐binding protein m RNA stabilization many genes. This study investigated contribution to increased expression COX ‐2 induced by its consequences on VSMC migration remodelling. Experimental Approach Rat human VSMCs were stimulated with (0.1 μ M and/or (10 ng·m L −1 ). Mice infused or subjected carotid...
Woody canker diseases caused by fungi of the Botryosphaeriaceae family are producing increasing losses in many economically important woody crops, including almond. To develop a molecular tool for detection and quantification most aggressive threatening species is main importance. This will help to prevent introduction these pathogens new orchards conveniently apply appropriate control measures. Three reliable, sensitive specific duplex qPCR assays using TaqMan probes have been designed (a)...
The microstructural characteristics were evaluated of two types Italian Farro (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccum) with spring and autumn growth habits, the former a vitreous tendency latter floury tendency. Common wheat flours grains aestivum) used as controls. Protein fractions such glutenin gliadin extracted from Triticum dicoccum studied by SDS-PAGE in order to make comparison between electrophoretic analyses studies which conducted on same samples using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM...
The search for an alternative means of reconstituting dried and salted products prior to consumption is relevance the food industry. New techniques should speed up process while causing minimum impact on product quality. Thereby, aim this work was evaluate both effect high-intensity ultrasound application desalting kinetics cod, as well changes in its textural microstructural properties. Moisture NaCl transport studied separately by taking diffusion theory into account. evolution swelling...
The decline and death of strawberry plants in Spanish fruit production fields have mainly been attributed to the soilborne pathogens Macrophomina phaseolina, Phytophthora cactorum, Fusarium spp. Inoculum sources M. phaseolina P. incidence all three genera, were investigated nurseries over consecutive seasons. inoculum consisted fumigated preplant soils (50%) nursery (47%), although pathogen could not be detected mother runner plants. cactorum included (20%) (17%) soils, (up 15%). In plants,...
In the spring of 2007, wilted and dead strawberry plants (Fragaria × ananassa Duch. cvs. Camarosa Ventana) were observed in a soilless culture system Huelva, southwestern Spain. Approximately 8% field died. Isolations from necrotic crowns roots flowers made on potato dextrose agar after disinfestation 0.6% NaOCl for 30 s. Colonies with light purple mycelia beige or orange reverse colony colors developed 9 days incubation at 25°C. produced abundant microconidia, macroconidia, chlamydospores....
The roles of some cake ingredients - oil, a leavening agent, and inulin in the structure physicochemical properties batter cakes were studied four different formulations. Oil played an important role stability, due to its contribution increasing viscosity occluding air during mixing. addition agent was crucial final height sponginess cakes. When used as fat replacer, absence oil caused decrease stability batter, where larger bubbles occluded. Inulin dispersed uniformly could create...
Water shortage is becoming a severe problem in arid and semiarid regions worldwide, reducing the availability of agricultural land water resources. In Spain, citrus one most economically important crops, with 74,000 ha devoted to its cultivation. Since resources are increasingly more insufficient, efficient use essential. Deficit irrigation many crops has frequently proved be an tool for improving water-use efficiency. This paper examines effects deficit during ripening period on yield...
