Near-infrared spectrocopy is suitable for the classification of hazelnuts according to protected designation origin

BACKGROUND: This study investigates the possibility of using Near-Infrared spectroscopy for the authentication of the 'Nocciola Romana' hazelnut (Corylus avellana L. cvs. 'Tonda Gentile Romana' and 'Nocchione') as a protected designation of origin (PDO) hazelnut from Central Italy. Algorithms for the selection of the optimal pretreatments were tested in combination with the following discriminant routines: […]

Effect of high pressure processing on the immunoreactivity of almond milk

Influence of high pressure processing (HPP) at 450 and 600 MPa, 30 °C for various holding times (0, 30, 60,180, 300 and 600 s) on almond milk amandin was investigated. The immunoreactivity of pressure treated almond milk was compared with raw and thermally processed (TP) almond milk (72, 85 and 99 °C for 0 to […]
