A SYBR green real-time PCR assay to detect and quantify pork meat in processed ...

Species identification in meat products has grown in interest in recent years since these foodstuffs are susceptible targets for fraudulent labelling. In this work, a real-time PCR approach based on SYBR Green dye was proposed for the quantitative detection of pork meat in processed meat products. For the development of the method, binary meat mixtures containing known amounts of pork meat in poultry meat were ...

Exploiting DNA markers for the botanical origin identification of honey

Honey is a natural product highly consumed due its known associalion wilh heallh benefits. Monofloral and Protecled Designation 01 Origin (PDO) honeys have generally higher economic value since Ihey are considered to have higher quality due lo its specific and well-delined flavor and aroma, Thus, these products are susceptible to misleading labeling and Iraudulenl praclices, making their assessment 01 bolanical...

Comparison of DNA extraction methods for the determination of botanical origin ...

Honey can be c1assified based on the type of flowers used by the bees to collect pollen as unifloral honey, if arising predominantly from a single botanical origin, which generally represents more than 45% of the total pollen content, or as multi floral honey, if it is produced from various plant species A single plant origin should assure a product of better quality because it guarantees a specific and well-de...

Species identification and lhe need lo verity lhe labelling stalements are currently considered of major importance owing lo the increased awa.reness of consurners regarding the composition of foods. In particular, processed meal products are susceptible largets for frnuds such as the subSl ilution of higher value species by cheaper rneats species, lhe presence of undccl ared species and lhe use of lower amounl...

Caso hematológico: trombocitemia essencial

Essential Thrombocythemia (ET) is a rare disease in pediatric age. The dominant clinical manifestations are thrombotic (arterial or venous) and/or hemorrhagic, but most of the cases are asymptomatic, and diagnosis made by routine hemogram. A previously healthy adolescent, federated football player, was oriented to the paediatric haematology consultation, at the age of 15 years, because of the presence of sustai...

Hidden allergens in food

Food allergies are considered a signif icant food-safety issue, whose preval ence has been increasing mainly in industrialized countries. The presence of non-declared allergens in food due to contamination during production or to misleading labeling represents a potential high risk for allergic individuals. To protect sensitized individuals, highly sensitive methods are required, especially for processed food s...

Phenolic, dietetic fibre and sensorial analyses of apples from regional varieti...

In the present work apples from eleven regional varieties originating from Portugal were studied in terms of their content in phenolic compounds and dietetic fibres (soluble and insoluble). In some cases, apples from two different production modes were analysed: conventional and biological. Some of the most commercialized apples in Portugal were also studied for comparison purposes. In addition, a sensorial eva...
