Increased interest in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) production requires breeding to create new cultivars with highly marketable values (e.g., regarding quality, nutrition, and health) valuable sensorial parameters. The purpose of this research was compare four commercial hybrids—two newly created two used as controls the process, cultivated a high plastic tunnel, wide range physico-chemical ...

The objectives of this paper were production of probiotic yoghurt using L. paracasei ssp. tolerans, and evaluation of pH changes, viable counts, and organoleptic properties of the produced yoghurt. It was observed that the pH decrease during the fermentation period was faster in the milk inoculated with L. paracasei ssp. tolerans plus starter culture. There was a gradual decrease in pH in both ...

We have studied a genomic library of introgression lines from the Solanum pimpinellifolium accession TO-937 into the genetic background of the "Moneymaker" cultivar in order to evaluate the accession's breeding potential. Overall, no deleterious phenotypes were observed, and the plants and fruits were phenotypically very similar to those of "Moneymaker," which confirms the feasibility of transl...

Increased interest toward traditional tomato varieties is fueled by the need to rescue desirable organoleptic traits and to improve the quality of fresh and processed tomatoes in the market. In addition, the phenotypic and genetic variation preserved in tomato landraces represents a means to understand the genetic basis of traits related to health and organoleptic aspects and improve them in mo...

An inventory of the most part of sulfur-containing volatile compounds (SCVCs) present in seafood was carried out. These molecules constitute key compounds to understand and improve seafood quality. According to their nature, concentration and environmental parameters (temperature), they can move the overall seafood odor from desirable to rotten. Sulfury odors can also indicate problems in sanit...

To compare the effectiveness of full- and partial-mouth disinfection for halitosis control, patients were assigned to treatment with full-mouth therapy (complete scaling and root planing in one stage within 24 h) or conventional therapy in quadrants (scaling and root planing performed by quadrant over a period of 4 weeks) (n = 90 for each group). Both groups were then subdivided: half the patie...
