The date agro-industry needs to find appropriate techniques to give value to their co-products. This study analyzes twelve intermediate food products (IFPs) from date co-products, Medjool and Confitera cv. at several ripening stages, blanched and unblanched, for their content in bioactive compounds (phenols, tannins, flavonoids, carotenoids and anthocyanins) and the antioxidant activity (AA). IFPs from […]
Mathematical approach for sampling plan performance assessment for aflatoxin B1 in pistachios
According to the EU Regulation 165/2010, the level of aflatoxin B1 and total aflatoxins in pistachios must not exceed 8 μg/kg and 10 μg/kg, respectively. Due to the heterogeneous distribution of this contaminant, the performance of sampling plans highly depends on the way they are designed. So, the sampling plan to be used must be […]

In vitro bioaccessibility of copper, iron, zinc and antioxidant compounds of whole cashew apple juice and cashew apple fibre (Anacardium occidentale L.) following simulated gastro-intestinal digestion
Considering the lack of research studies about nutrients' bioaccessibility in cashew apple, in this study the whole cashew apple juice and the cashew apple fibre were submitted to simulated in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. The samples were analysed before and after digestion and had their copper, iron, zinc, ascorbic acid, total extractable phenols and total antioxidant […]
