Ultrasound has a wide range of applications in various agricultural sectors. In food processing, it is considered to be an emerging technology with the potential to speed up processes without damaging the quality of foodstuffs. Here we review the reports on the applications of ultrasound specifically with a view to its use in meat processing. Emphasis is placed on the effects on quality and technological...
The Rendement Napole gene (RN) consists of a mutation at the γ3 subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in pigs. AMPK works as an energy level sensor and controls numerous cellular pathways. The study aimed at identifying the differences in microstructure occurring between the normal porcine meat and porcine meat encoded by the RN gene. Using molecular techniques 194 commercial pigs were sampled...
Fifty-six male Friesian calves, half of them castrated, were used to study the effects of concentrate extrusion and animal castration on diet digestibility and performance in two different growth phases (from 91 to 250 and from 250 to 400 kg live weight). Diets consisted of a compound meal, extruded or nonextruded, and barley straw, both of them fed ad libitum. Half of the animals were slaughtered...
