• Assessment of the dyeing properties of the pigments produced by Talaromyces spp. 

  Morales-Oyervides, Lourdes; Oliveira, Jorge; Sousa-Gallagher, Maria; Méndez-Zavala, Alejandro; Montañez, Julio Cesar (MDPI, 2017)

  The high production yields of pigments by Talaromyces spp. and their high thermal stability have implied that industrial application interests may emerge in the food and textile industries, as they both involve subjecting ...
• Perstraction of intracellular pigments through submerged fermentation of Talaromyces spp. in a surfactant rich media: a novel approach for enhanced pigment recovery 

  Morales-Oyervides, Lourdes; Oliveira, Jorge C.; Sousa-Gallagher, Maria; Méndez-Zavala, Alejandro; Montañez, Julio (MDPI, 2017)

  A high percentage of the pigments produced by Talaromyces spp. remains inside the cell, which could lead to a high product concentration inhibition. To overcome this issue an extractive fermentation process, perstraction, ...
• Impact of fluidized bed granulation on structure and functional properties of the agglomerates based on the durum wheat semolina 

  Bellocq, Bettina; Cuq, Bernard; Ruiz, Thierry; Duri, Agnès; Cronin, Kevin; Ring, Denis (Elsevier, 2017-09-07)

  The granulation step determines the production yield and the final characteristics of the agglomerated couscous grains of durum wheat. The objective of the present work was to explore the capability of the fluidised bed ...
• Rice quality profiling to classify germplasm in breeding programs 

  Ferreira, Ana Rita; Oliveira, Jorge C.; Pathania, Shivani; Almeida, Ana Sofia; Brites, Carla (Elsevier Ltd, 2017-05-11)

  The objective of this work was to define a quality space for assessing rice varieties. Eleven long grain varieties, seven commercial and four new advanced lines were assessed to obtain complete quality profile considering ...
• Influence of granulation process parameters on food tablet properties formulated using natural powders (Opuntia ficus and Chlorella spp.) 

  Osorio-Fierros, A.; Cronin, Kevin; Ring, Denis; Méndez-Zavala, A.; Morales-Oyervides, Lourdes; Montañez, Julio C. (Elsevier Ltd, 2017-04-26)

  In this research two natural health supplements, cactus flour (Opuntia ficus) and microalgae biomass (Chlorella spp.) have been examined as novel ingredients to formulate health supplement tablets. The physical and mechanical ...
