Liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry for nut classification and marker identification
Fraud in nut and seed products poses an economic deception and a threat to human health because of their allergens. This study comprehensively evaluated the metabolomic diversity of ten different nut types through non-targeted ...
FIA−HRMS fingerprinting subjected to chemometrics as a valuable tool to address food classification and authentication: application to red wine, paprika, and vegetable oil samples
The rise of food fraud practices, affecting a wide variety of goods and their specific characteristics (e.g., quality or geographical origin), demands rapid high-throughput analytical approaches to ensure consumers protection. ...
Epidemiology of classic and novel human astrovirus: gastroenteritis and beyond
Since they were identified in 1975, human astroviruses have been considered one of the most important agents of viral acute gastroenteritis in children. However, highly divergent astroviruses infecting humans have been ...
The modeling pastes of the monumental terracruda sculpture of the Silk Roads: Archaeometric study of the Tepe Narenj and Qol-e-tut examples (Kabul, Afghanistan)
This paper presents the results of the mineralogical, petrographic and chemical study of different archaeological samples related to terracruda sculptures and other elements that were part of the architectural decoration ...
Porcine Digestible Peptides (PDP) in Weanling Diets Regulates the Expression of Genes Involved in Gut Barrier Function, Immune Response and Nutrient Transport in Nursery Pigs
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of porcine digestible peptides (PDP), spray-dried plasma (SDP), or a combination of both, on growth performance and the expression of genes ...
Effect of cocoa's theobromine on intestinal microbiota of rats
SCOPE: To establish the role of cocoa theobromine on gut microbiota composition and fermentation products after cocoa consumption in rats. METHODS AND RESULTS: Lewis rats were fed either a standard diet (RF diet), a diet ...
Influence of Phenol-Enriched Olive Oils on Human Intestinal Immune Function
Olive oil (OO) phenolic compounds (PC) are able to influence gut microbial populations and metabolic output. Our aim was to investigate whether these compounds and changes affect the mucosal immune system. In a randomized, ...
Tissue-Specific Hormonal Variations in Grapes of Irrigated and Non-irrigated Grapevines ( Vitis vinifera cv. 'Merlot') Growing Under Mediterranean Field Conditions
Agricultural practices in grapevines management include water restrictions due to its positive effect on wine quality, especially when applied at fruit ripening. Although the effects of water stress in some groups of ...
A Proteomics Data Mining Strategy for the Identification of Quinoa Grain Proteins with Potential Immunonutritional Bioactivities
Quinoa proteins are attracting global interest for their wide amino acid profile and as a promising source for the development of biomedical treatments, including those against immunemediated diseases. However, information ...
Cocoa Diet Prevents Antibody Synthesis and Modifies Lymph Node Composition and Functionality in a Rat Oral Sensitization Model
Cocoa powder, a rich source of polyphenols, has shown immunomodulatory properties in both the intestinal and systemic immune compartments of rats. The aim of the current study was to establish the effect of a cocoa diet ...
Determination of bioactive compounds in sequential extracts of chia leaf (Salvia hispanica L.) using UHPLC-HRMS (Q-Orbitrap) and a global evaluation of antioxidant in vitro capacity
Consumers' interest in foods that are nutritionally balanced and with health benefits has increased. The food industry is paying attention to the use of the ancestral seed Salvia hispanica L., commonly known as chia. At ...
Adherence to Mediterranean Diet and Response to an Exercise Program to Prevent Hospitalization-Associated Disability in Older Adults: A Secondary Analysis from a Randomized Controlled Trial
Objectives: To investigate the relationship between Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) adherence and response to an exercise and health education program to prevent hospitalization-associated disability (HAD) in acutely hospitalized ...

Influence of hesperidin on systemic immunity of rats following an intensive training and exhausting exercise
Intensive training and exhausting exercise can disrupt innate and acquired immunity. The flavanone hesperidin has shown immunomodulatory properties in physiological and some pathological conditions, and positive e ects on ...
Novel Human Astroviruses: Prevalence and Association with Common Enteric Viruses in Undiagnosed Gastroenteritis Cases in Spain
A remarkable percentage of acute gastroenteritis cases remain etiologically undiagnosed. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of common and emerging enteric viruses, such as novel human astroviruses, among ...
Targeted HPLC-UV-FLD Polyphenolics to Assess Paprika Geographical Origin
Paprika is a red powder seasoning with a characteristic flavour obtained from the drying and grinding of red pepper fruits of the genus Capsicum (Solanaceae family). In Europe, seven paprika products are distinguished with ...
Targeted HPLC-UV Polyphenolic profiling to detect and quantify adulterated tea samples by chemometrics
Tea can be found among the most widely consumed beverages, but also highly susceptible of fraudulent practices by adulteration, with other plants such as chicory, to obtain an illicit economic gain. The development of ...
