Genetic and environmental effects on the quality of meat from southern European pig breeds
are discussed. In the literature, it is evident that the breeds native to southern Europe have …

Background Dry-cured ham is one of the most valued food products by Mediterranean
consumers. In this sense, the appropriate development of its different production stages is …

This study aims to forecast quality characteristics of Iberian hams by using non-destructive
methods of analysis and data mining. Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Computer Vision …

Salt content analysis is needed to ensure a healthy level of sodium in foods. In Iberian hams,
this is laborious, time consuming and destructive analysis. This study proposes the use of an …

Twenty-four extensively reared Iberian pigs were used to study the influence of fattening
period length (30, 60 or 90 days) on the fatty acid profiles of intramuscular and …

The quality and sensory characteristics of Iberian ham are closely related to the pig feeding
regime. These are mainly due to the inclusion or not of acorns into the diet, which …

The aim of this study was to research the effect of the genetic background (Retinto,
Torbiscal, and their reciprocal crosses) on the subcutaneous fatty acids and the sensory …

The main objective of this study was to configure the acquisition and analysis of low-field
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to predict physico-chemical characteristics of Iberian …

This work firstly investigates the use of MRI, fractal algorithms and data mining techniques to
determine pork quality parameters non-destructively. The main objective was to evaluate the …
