In high-mountain habitats, summer frosts have negative consequences for plant fitness, therefore high-mountain plants have developed mechanisms of avoidance and tolerance to cope with freezing temperatures. Various ...

This study evaluated the effects of freezing, prior to and after dry aging, on the microbiological and physical-chemical quality of beef. Strip loins (n = 24) from 12 carcasses were assigned to four treatments: non-frozen ...

The aim was to study the effect of sublimation temperature (from –20 C to –10 C) and sublimation time (from 18 to 40 h) on the viability of Lactobacillus fermentum K73, the moisture content and the texture features by ...

It is well known that excitatory amino acids induce unconditioned fear responses when locally injected into the dorsal periaqueductal gray matter (dPAG). However, there are only few studies about the involvement of excitatory ...

The selection of freezing conditions is very important in order to optimize the efficiency of the freezing process and simultaneously retain the biological microstructure. Fresh strawberry and osmotically dehydrated ...

The median raphe nucleus (MRN) has been suggested as the origin of a behavioral inhibition system that projects to the septum and hippocampus. Electrical stimulation of this mesencephalic area causes behavioral and autonomic ...

Living cells, biological materials (plant and animal tissues) and food derived from them contain a large proportion of water. Water is a very important component in foods affecting quality attributes and shelf-life stability. ...

The present study aimed to investigate the influence of housing conditions on contextual fear memory malleability. Male Wistar rats were housed in enriched, standard, or impoverished conditions after weaning and remained ...

The freezing point is one of the most critical properties required to complete the mathematical formulation related to the transport phenomena involved in the immersion chilling and freezing (ICF) of foods. Unfortunately, ...

Freeze concentration is a technique for solutions dewatering by cooling and freezing until the formation and separation of ice crystal of high purity. This technique avoid quality loss by thermal degradation of concentrated ...
