Expression of conditioned preference for low-quality food in sheep is modulated by foraging cost
(Cambridge University Press, 2015-06)
Past positive experiences can increase herbivores’ motivation to eat low-quality foods. However, this is not always translated into a higher preference for low-quality foods in choice tests among foods of higher nutritional ...
Specialization in food production affects global food security and food systems sustainability
(Elsevier, 2021-05)
Understanding specialization patterns of countries in food production can provide relevant insights for the evaluation and design of policies seeking to achieve food security and sustainability, which are key to reach ...
Devaluation of low-quality food during early experience by sheep
(Cambridge University Press, 2011-06)
A ruminant's early experience with low-quality food (LQF) is expected to increase its acceptance and preference in adulthood. Contrarily, we found that experienced sheep (ES) exposed to mature oat hay early in life ate ...
Characterisation of liquid food colour from digital images
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-12)
The characteristic colour of translucent liquid foods is defined as the colour values at infinite depth, where the liquid depth and the background effects are surpassed. A measurement cell with variable depth was built, ...
Nutritional stress by means of high C:N ratios in the diet and starvation affects nitrogen isotope ratios and trophic fractionation of omnivorous copepods
(Springer, 2019-07)
Nutritional stress, from feeding on low-quality diets or starvation, may cause changes in consumers’ nitrogen isotope ratios (δ15N = 15N/14N) and trophic fractionation (∆15N = δ15Nconsumer − δ15Nfood source), however, ...
Evaluation of quality of argentinean sunflower oil used in high-moisture food frying
(Indian Society for Education and Environment, 2018-06)
Objective: To make evaluation of quality of Argentinean sunflower oil used in high-moisture food frying through parameters indicators of oil deterioration. Methods: The results were obtained after studying the effect of ...
Food security in the time of Coronavirus (COVID-19). The Argentine case
(eSciPub, 2020-10)
The context of pandemic of the human coronavirus COVID-19, preventive strategies based on mandatory social isolation (quarantine) were imposed by governments to reduce transmission in the community. However, they have had ...
Optimization of high pressure processing parameters to preserve quality attributes of a mixed fruit and vegetable smoothie
(2018-06)
Fruit & Vegetable (F&V) smoothies are rich in nutrients and other health related compounds. However, they have a short shelf-life and the traditional methods applied to preserve them generate losses in their natural flavor ...
Analysis of molecular mobility in corn and quinoa flours through ¹H NMR and its relationship with water distribution, glass transition and enthalpy relaxation
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
Solids-water interactions of corn and quinoa flours were evaluated through 1H NMR, DSC, and water sorption isotherms. Glass transition temperature (Tg), observed by DSC, was better distinguished through FID signals, and ...
Effect of low-quality diet on torpor frequency and depth in the pichi Zaedyus pichiy (Xenarthra, Dasypodidae), a South American armadillo
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2013-03)
Daily torpor is a physiological adaptation that allows mammals to cope with energetic challenges associated with unpredictable periods of food shortage. We experimentally tested whether food quality influences torpor ...
