The role of plant cell wall encapsulation and porosity in regulating lipolysis during the digestion of almond seeds (2015)
Journal Article

Previous studies have provided evidence that the physical encapsulation of intracellular nutrients by cell walls of plant foods (i.e. dietary fibre) plays a predominant role in influencing macronutrient bioaccessibility (release) from plant foods dur...

Developing a reduced consumer-led lexicon to measure emotional response to beer (2015)
Journal Article

Previous researchers have recently recommended and utilised consumer-led lexicons to measure emotional response. This study further advances this approach by 1) making the lexicon generation process more efficient by using consumer focus groups as op...

Production of medium-chain volatile flavour esters in Pichia pastoris whole-cell biocatalysts with extracellular expression of Saccharomyces cerevisiae acyl-CoA:ethanol O-acyltransferase Eht1 or Eeb1 (2015)
Journal Article

Medium-chain volatile flavour esters are important molecules since they have extensive applications in food, fragrance, cosmetic, paint and coating industries, which determine different characteristics of aroma or taste in commercial products. Biosyn...

Compositional and physicochemical factors governing the viability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG embedded in starch-protein based edible films (2015)
Journal Article

Probiotic incorporation in edible films and coatings has been shown recently to be an efficient strategy for the delivery of probiotics in foods. In the present work, the impact of the compositional, physicochemical and structural properties of binar...

Survival in amoeba: a major selection pressure on the presence of bacterial copper and zinc resistance determinants?: identification of a "copper pathogenicity island" (2015)
Journal Article

The presence of metal resistance determinants in bacteria usually is attributed to geological or anthropogenic metal contamination in different environments or associated with the use of antimicrobial metals in human healthcare or in agriculture. Whi... Read More about Survival in amoeba: a major selection pressure on the presence of bacterial copper and zinc resistance determinants?: identification of a "copper pathogenicity island".

Filamentation of Campylobacter in broth cultures (2015)
Journal Article

The transition from rod to filamentous cell morphology has been identified as a response to stressful conditions in many bacterial species and has been ascribed to confer certain survival advantages. Filamentation of Campylobacter jejuni was demonstr... Read More about Filamentation of Campylobacter in broth cultures.

Oral processing of low water content foods: a development to Hutchings and Lillford’s breakdown path (2015)
Journal Article

The “hard to swallow” phenomenon previously reported for peanut paste has been investigated for other oil seed butters. The Temporal Dominance of Sensations (TDS) technique showed similar findings, adding to the list of materials which do not follow...
