The ready-meals market has grown significantly in developed countries over the past decade. In particular, organic pasta entirely formulated with organic ingredients and marketed as ready-to-eat meals, is an excellent ...

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 ...

We evaluated the effect of freezing (-18°C) for 12 months on the qualitative characteristics of breast, thigh and drumstick meat. Samples from male Cobb 500 broilers raised in antibiotic-free (n = 125), conventional (n = ...

Porous materials are characterized for being light, thermal and sound insulating and are widely used in the civil construction sector in coatings, sealing blocks and permeable paving. Freeze-casting is a method widely used ...

This work evaluated for the first time the sustainability of vinasse reuse as a fertilizer in sugarcane crops by assessing the occurrence of organic contaminants and their potential for dissemination to soils and groundwater ...

This study arises from the need for quantitative methods to assess risks of frost damage in agriculture. Classical mathematical functions were used to model damage due to freezing temperatures and a simple method based on ...

This study evaluated the effects of freezing (−18◦C) for 12 mo on attributes related to the texture of breast, drumstick, and thigh from broilers raised in 4 different rearing systems. Five-hundred carcasses of male broilers ...

In this work was developed an alternative methodology to separation of aquatic organic matter (AOM) present in natural river waters. The process is based in temperature decreasing of the aqueous sample under controlled ...
