Effects of gamma irradiation on chemical composition and antioxidant potential ...
Ferrreira, Ângela; Barreira, João C.M.; Antonio, Amilcar L.; Oliveira, M.B.P.P.; Martins, Anabela; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.It was previously demonstrated that gamma irradiation was the processing technology with the highest capacity to maintain the chemical profile of fresh Macrolepiota procera wild mushroom, when compared to freeze-dried or oven-dried samples. Herein, it was aimed to evaluate gamma irradiation effects on processed samples. Chemical composition and antioxidant potential of irradiated (0.5 and 1 kGy) fresh, frozen a...
Ionizing radiation applications for a sustainable environment: food preservatio...
Antonio, Amilcar L.; Bento, Albino; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.; Cabo Verde, Sandra; Quintana, BegoñaThe use of ionizing gamma radiation is regulated and authorized by international organizations (EU, EFSA, IAEA, FAO, WHO) for industrial radiation processing of several products: medical devices sterilization, materials modification, cultural heritage preservation and food decontamination. Due to the wrong association of irradiated food with radioactive food, several obstacles have to be overcome in order to pr...
Electron beam irradiator for post-harvest processing of chestnut fruits: techni...
Antonio, Amilcar L.; Bento, Albino; Botelho, M. Luisa; Quintana, Begoña; Zimek, ZbigniewIn a recent worldwide estimation, food irradiation processing represents about 400 000 ton, from which almost half (186 000 ton) were to eliminate insects. In EU Mediterranean countries chestnut fruits production represents a market of more than 100 000 ton, being Portugal the third producer with an amount of 20 000 ton, exporting 25% of the production, representing an income of about 15 million Euros. In March...
Absorbed dose and effective dose in food irradiation: measurement and validatio...
Antonio, Amilcar L.; Santos, Pedro M.P.; Bento, Albino; Quintana, BegoñaFood products are processed by different technologies in order to increase its safety and shelflife. Food irradiation is regulated in European Union by the Directive 1999/2/EC, approved by international organizations of food (FAO – Food and Agriculture Organization) and health (WHO – World Health Organization) and the demand for post-harvest processed food products without use of chemicals could be an opportuni...
Feasibility of electron-beam irradiation to preserve wild dried mushrooms: effe...
Fernandes, Ângela; Barreira, João C.M.; Antonio, Amilcar L.; Oliveira, M.B.P.P.; Martins, Anabela; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.Mushrooms are highly perishable matrices and to extend time of consumption they need to be preserved. Since all the available conservation technologies present disadvantages, the combination of two different processes might minimize some of the limitations. Therefore, in the present work, electron-beam irradiation (up to 10 kGy) was applied to dried samples of Boletus edulis and Russula delica, extending previo...
Triacylglycerols profiling as a chemical tool to identify mushrooms submitted t...
Fernandes, Ângela; Barreira, João C.M.; Antonio, Amilcar L.; Martins, Anabela; Ferrreira, Isabel C.F.R.; Oliveira, M.B.P.P.In order to define irradiation treatment as a routine conservation methodology, it is imperative to develop chemometric indicators with the ability to distinguish irradiated from unirradiated foodstuffs. Electron spin resonance, photostimulated luminescence and thermoluminescence methods were employed to monitor radiation-induced markers, as well as different chemical compounds produced from the lipidic fractio...
Validation of gamma and electron beam irradiation as alternative conservation t...
Carocho, Márcio; Antonio, Amilcar L.; Barreira, João C.M.; Rafalski, Andrzej; Bento, Albino; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.Chestnuts are widely consumed around the world, especially in China, which is the major producer. Portugal is the fifth biggest producer, reaching and income of 17 M€, with particular relevance for Trás-os-Montes region, which is responsible for 81% of Portuguese production. During postharvest storage, a number of pests tend to attack chestnuts, contributing to high economic losses. Since 2010, the most effecti...
Analysis of organic acids in electron beam irradiated chestnuts (Castanea sativ...
Carocho, Márcio; Barros, Lillian; Antonio, Amilcar L.; Barreira, João C.M.; Bento, Albino; Kałuska, Iwona; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.Since 2010, methyl bromide, a widely used fumigant was banned from the European Union under the Montreal Protocol guidelines, due to its deleterious effects on health and risk to the environment. Since then, many alternatives for chestnut conservation have been studied (hot water dip treatment being the most common), among them, electron beam irradiation has been proposed as being a safe, clean and cheap altern...
Effects of gamma and electron beam irradiations on the triacylglycerol profile ...
Barreira, João C.M.; Carocho, Márcio; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.; Antonio, Amilcar L.; Kałuska, Iwona; Botelho, M. Luísa; Bento, Albino; Oliveira, M.B.P.P.The present chestnut (Castanea sativa Miller) commercialization dynamics, including distribution to novel markets, demands suitable conservation technologies. Irradiation has been considered a promising alternative to chemical fumigation (legally forbidden and harmful for human health and environment) or heat treatments (technological difficulties and low efficiency). Following previous studies on the effects o...
Study of chemical changes and antioxidant activity variation induced by gamma-i...
Fernandes, Ângela; Barreira, João C.M.; Antonio, Amilcar L.; Santos, Pedro M.P.; Martins, Anabela; Oliveira, M.B.P.P.; Ferreira, Isabel C.F.R.Mushrooms are especially sensitive to senescence, browning, water loss and microbial attack. Furthermore, wild species are characterized for their seasonality, demanding the development of suitable preservation technology. Gamma-irradiation was previously tested in wild Lactarius deliciosus, being verified that its application up to 1 kGy did not imply significant changes in chemical parameters. Herein, the eff...
