Melanoidins present important physiological activities, but their structure is largely unknown. The objective of the present work was to reveal the physicochemical characteristics of biscuit melanoidins(BM) prepared under high temperature(HT) and low temperature(LT) conditions (150 °C/25 min-100 °C/80 min respectively). BM were characterised and an...
Melanoidins, formed at the final stages of Maillard reaction (MR), present important physiological activities, but their structure and reaction pathways are largely unknown in real food systems. In the present work, these bioactive compounds derived from Brewers' spent grain (BSG) with different roasting degrees were analysed. Results showed that B...
The effectiveness of natamycin supported in corn starch-based films to control environmental molds (mainly Penicillium spp) activity that could colonize the surface of semi-hard cheese during ripening, was evaluated. The starch amount was maximized, and this was achieved by adding polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and also polyurethane (PU) to the formulatio...
Ethylene is accepted to be a key player in the regulation of climacteric fruit ripening and senescence of leafy vegetables. In contrast, there is still disparity in the literature on the role it may have on quality deterioration of edible petioles. In this work, we evaluated the influence of the ethylene generator 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid (Ethe...
The incorporation of antimicrobials in foods by means of the use of films where they are entrapped collaborates to decrease their diffusion rate. In this work, the physicochemical properties of starch-based films loaded with 1% wt. natamycin were analyzed, and the antifungal activity of these films was evaluated against Penicillium spp..

Starch-based films containing 70wt% of starch and a combination of poly(vinyl alcohol) and a low glass transition temperature polyurethane as plasticizer were prepared. The effect of PVA/PU ratio content on the morphology and physical properties was investigated by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry,...
Functional biscuits for adult domestic dogs containing probiotic bacteria (Lactobacillus plantarum) and prebiotics (inulin) were developed and characterized. In order to assure a higher bacterial survival, the application of a protective coating was necessary. Two biscuit formulations were prepared, one with wheat flour and the other with soy and w...
