Virgin olive oil volatile fingerprint and chemometrics: Towards an instrumental screening tool to grade the sensory quality
Sensory quality, assessed following a standardized method, is one of the parameters defining the commercial category of virgin olive oil. Considering the difficulties linked to the organoleptic evaluation, especially the ...
Changes in the Volatile Profile of Wheat Sourdough Produced with the Addition of Cava Lees
The volatile fraction is of great importance for the organoleptic quality and consumer acceptance of bread. The use of sourdough improves the sensory profile of bread, as well as the addition of new ingredients to the ...
Quantitative Dietary Fingerprinting (QDF)-A Novel Tool for Comprehensive Dietary Assessment Based on Urinary Nutrimetabolomics
Accurate dietary assessment is a challenge in nutritional research, needing powerful and robust tools for reliable measurement of food intake biomarkers. In this work, we have developed a novel quantitative dietary ...
Portable NIR spectroscopy to simultaneously trace honey botanical and geographicl origins and detect syrup adulteration.
Fraudulent practices concerning honey are growing fast and involve misrepresentation of origin and adulteration. Simple and feasible methods for honey authentication are needed to ascertain honey compliance and quality. ...
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 ...
Tracking Soil Organic Carbon and Nitrogen under Organic Management: A Temporal Perspective
Understanding the long-term impact of agricultural practices on soil parameters is essential for improving soil quality and sustainability. Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) and total Nitrogen (N) are key indicators due to their ...
Access to Enantiopure Advanced Intermediates en Route to Madangamines
The synthesis of enantiopure ABCE and ABCD tetracyclic advanced intermediates en route to madangamine alkaloids and studies for the construction of the triunsaturated 15-membered D ring of madangamine B and the saturated ...
Characterization of sparkling wine based on polyphenolic profiling by liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry
Polyphenols are phytochemicals naturally present in wines that arouse much interest in the scientific community due to their healthy properties. In addition, their role as descriptors of various wine qualities, such as the ...
Untargeted profiling of concordant/discordant phenotypes of high insulin resistance and obesity to predict the risk of developing diabetes
This study explores the metabolic profiles of concordant/discordant phenotypes of high insulin resistance (IR) and obesity. Through untargeted metabolomics (LC-ESI-QTOF-MS), we analyzed the fasting serum of subjects with ...
Dietary patterns and Cardiovascular risk factors in spanish adolescents: A cross-sectional analysis of the SI! program for health promotion in secondary schools
Previous studies on the association between dietary habits and cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) in adolescents have generated conflicting results. The aim of this study was to describe dietary patterns (DP) in a large ...
New approach for the diagnosis of histamine intolerance based on the determination of histamine and methylhistamine in urine.
Histamine intolerance is a disorder in the homeostasis of histamine due to a reduced intestinal degradation of this amine, mainly caused by diamine oxidase (DAO) enzyme deficiency, which provokes its accumulation in plasma ...

Novel strategies for improving dietary exposure assessment: Multiple-data fusion is a more accurate measure than the traditional single-biomarker approach
BACKGROUND: Accurate measurement of food intake is the cornerstone of understanding the links between diet and optimal health status or risk of disease. The utilization of metabolomics approaches is revolutionizing the ...
Characterization of metabolomic profile associated with metabolic improvement after bariatric surgery in subjects with morbid obesity
The exact impact of bariatric surgery in metabolically 'healthy' (MH) or 'unhealthy' (MU) phenotypes for the study of the metabolic improvement is still unknown. We applied an untargeted LC-ESI-TripleTOF-MS-driven metabolomics ...
Arsenosugar extracted from algae: Isolation by anionic exchange solid-phase extraction
Obtaining reliable speciation data for evaluating dietary exposure, and increasing understanding of arsenic biochemistry in algae, are hindered by the availability of suitable standards of arsenosugars, the major species ...
Quality losses in virgin olive oil due to washing and short-term storage before olive milling
To identify critical points during olive mill pre-processing operations, the effect of the closed circuit washing stage on the olives microbiological contamination and the influence of the successive short-term storage on ...
Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Foods and Derived Products Containing Ellagitannins and Anthocyanins on Cardiometabolic Biomarkers: Analysis of Factors Influencing Variability of the Individual Responses
Understanding interindividual variability in response to dietary polyphenols remains essential to elucidate their effects on cardiometabolic disease development. A meta-analysis of 128 randomized clinical trials was conducted ...
Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 and the Adaptive Response to Nutritional Challenges.
The Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21) is considered an attractive therapeutic target for obesity and obesity-related disorders due to its beneficial effects in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. FGF21 response is essential ...
Lipids and physical function in older adults
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Healthy aging is a public health priority. The maintenance of adequate physical function is recognized as a key element of healthy aging. In recent years, scientific evidence has increased concerning the ...
