BACKGROUND The thaumatin-like protein (TLP) Ole e 13 in raw olive fruit is responsible for occupational allergy in olive oil mill workers. However, these workers do not experience allergic symptoms after ingestion of edible olive. OBJECTIVES To analyze the presence of IgE-reactive TLP in raw and edible olive fruit and to assess the allergenic potency of both sources. METHODS The content of ...

Our study investigated preservation Undulate venus (Paphia undulate) by canning via three treatments that are canned raw, smoked and cooked as a healthy product with high nutritional value. Results reported that edible meat of Paphia undulate was free from Cu, Pb Cd result washing process. There was significantly (p undulate, there significantly reduction protein content compared with the r...

background: histamine is a food-borne chemical hazard which causes scombroid poisoning. the efficiency of histamine recovery from fish is greatly influenced by selection of an appropriate extraction solvent. hence, in this study the efficiency of different extraction solvents on recovery of histamine from fresh, frozen and canned fish was evaluated. methods: fresh, frozen and canned rainbow tro...

Fresh, frozen, and canned vegetables all have their own unique set of benefits and drawbacks, but all contain vital nutrients, such as carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, minerals, and fiber, which are maintained through the respective processes. Canned and frozen versions are the most common processed vegetables. While processed vegetables can be more convenient, have a longer shelf-life, and ar...

Olive scale (Parlatoria oleae (Colvée)) is a common pest in Mediterranean olive orchards which primarily causes damage on olive fruits. The quality of virgin olive oil is strongly related to the health status of the olive fruits from which is extracted. In this paper the effects of olive scale (Parlatoria oleae (Colvée)) attack on the oil yield, chemical and sensorial quality, as well as on the...

Phenolic composition of virgin olive oil is determined by the enzymatic and/or chemical reactions that take place during olive fruit processing. Of these enzymes, β-glucosidase activity plays a relevant role in the transformation of the phenolic glycosides present in the olive fruit, generating different secoiridoid derivatives. The main goal of the present study was to characterize olive fruit...
