The olive oil industry generates large quantities of cake (OC), making its use in animal feed an environmentally sustainable alternative. Considering that the ham Bísaro pigs is traditionally used for production cured ham, analysis raw meat essential to understand how diet influences quality before maturation process. This study examined effect different types OC diets pigs, focusing on chemical compositions and fatty acid profiles three fresh muscles-biceps femoris (BF), semimembranosus...
This study aims to explore the effect of using black pepper essential oil (BPEO) produce a healthier chicken pâté.

A total 128 one day-old male (Coloryeld) were randomly divided into two groups, which in turn 8 groups (replicates) each one. One group (64 animals) was control (C) other received a implant (18 mg per animal) d age (M). The animals reared for d. For first 42 they kept an enclosed facility then allowed access to outside. Two culls...
The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of inclusion different olive cakes in diet Bísaro pigs on carcass, meat and fat. carcasses 40 animals fed a with five treatments (T1—Basic commercial feed; T2—Basic + 10% crude cake; T3—Basic cake, two phases; T4—Basic exhausted T5—Basic cake 1% oil) were used carcass traits, physicochemical quality lipid composition backfat. There no significant differences between for conformation measurements performed, except length at seventh last rib (p <...
Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a key ingredient in the processing of traditional dry-cured meat products by improving microbial safety, sensory attributes and technological properties. However, increasing concern about consumption sodium health has been supporting development low-sodium products. Several strategies to reduce product have tested, although followed approaches sometimes result undesirable characteristics concerning flavor, texture mouthfeel. The use halophytic plants such as...
Several strategies for producing healthier meat products have been developed. Reducing fat content, using different sources, modifying and improving the fatty acid profile or even replacing saturated with oleogels are some of methods used. Goat mainly from animals out quality brands low commercial value can be valorized when processed, giving opportunity to increase its consumption acceptability. Thus, aim this study was effect replacement pork as a source an olive oleogel in burgers...
Abstract A gelled emulsion elaborated using hemp seed oil and buckwheat flour was utilized as pork backfat substitute in a typical Portuguese meat product named Alheira. Three different formulations were prepared: Alheiras control (AC) with fat content of 13%, alheiras where the 25% substituted oil-GE (AH25), 50% (AH50). The chemical composition well physicochemical properties lipid stability samples assessed. Reformulated showed similar protein, moisture, ( p < 0.05) that AC. However,...
The objective of this study was to assess the impact incorporating olive cake into diet indigenous Bísaro pigs on quality processed meat products. To end, loins and “cachaços” were using a standardized manufacturing flowchart produce dry-cured two products manufactured same formulation, ingredients, curing process. Concerning physicochemical composition, there significant differences between for parameters aw (p < 0.001), moisture total fat protein haem pigments 0.001). significantly...
The aim of the current experiment was to characterize and evaluate effect dry-curing process on chemical composition, physicochemical properties, sensory characteristics dry-cured Bísaro shoulders. For this purpose, thirty-eight raw forelegs were used, no nitrites added during process. This increased protein, fat, ash content, pH, with a decrease in moisture water activity (p < 0.001). shoulders darker (L*), less red (a*), yellow (b*) than 0.001), may be mainly due reduction. proportion...
