Effect of storage temperature on the crispness, colour and bioactive compounds of an orange snack obtained by freeze-drying

Silva Espinoza, Marilú Andrea; Camacho Vidal, Mª Mar; Martínez-Navarrete, Nuria (Emerald, 2021-06-28)

[EN] Purpose A healthy and easy-to-use orange snack obtained from the freeze-dried orange pulp puree is proposed. Once the commercial packaging of the snack has been opened, the effect of conventional home storage temperature ...
Engineering synthetic pathways for βcarotene production in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves

Reig López, Diego (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2021-07-30)

[ES] Los carotenoides son pigmentos plastídicos de interés nutricional como precursores de la vitamina A y como antioxidantes y fitonutrientes saludables. Se han desarrollado diversos métodos para incrementar la producción ...
New opportunities for developing tomato varieties with enhanced carotenoid content

Leiva-Brondo, Miguel; Valcárcel-Germes, Mercedes; Martí-Renau, Raul; Rosello Ripolles, Salvador; Cebolla Cornejo, Jaime (Universidade de Sao Paulo. Escola Superior de Agricultura "Luiz de Queiroz", 2016)
