An Overview of West African Traditional Soft Cheese: Processing, Safety, and Quality Characteristics Open
West African soft cheese (WASC) is widely consumed and nutritionally valuable across West Africa. It also sustains livelihoods, particularly among Fulani households, by providing regular income for women and strengthens household food secu…
Stunning pigs with inert gases at low residual oxygen does not compromise meat quality Open
In the project for "Testing Inert Gases in order to Establish Replacements for high concentration carbon dioxide (CO2) stunning for pigs at the time of slaughter" (TIGER), we were investigating the effect of different inert gas atmospheres…
Genetic investigations into the use of sensory evaluation: the case of boar taint discrimination in Pietrain sired crossbreds Open
Using genetic selection for raising intact boars, which improves growth and feed efficiency, is a promising alternative to castration for mitigating boar taint. Selective breeding has the potential to help to identify and select genetic li…
Taste of Morality – How morality modulates sensory experiences Open
Morality affects human behaviour in manifold ways. But can it be tasted? To answer this question, we run a double-blind controlled sensory laboratory experiment to explore how morality impacts the marketing placebo effect (MPE). This effec…

Towards climate neutrality: Comparison of mitigation strategies for agricultural emissions using GWP100 and GWP* metrics Open
Typically, the metric GWP100 is used to assess the climate impact of a pulse emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) over 100 years. The alternative metric GWP* additionally takes the dynamics of current and historical GHG emissions into accoun…
Prediction accuracy of near infrared spectroscopy coupled with adaptive machine learning methods for simultaneous determination of chlorogenic acid and caffeine on intact coffee beans Open
Due to the inherent complexity and high dimensionality of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) data, it is critical to employ robust methods that can accurately interpret the spectroscopic signals to determine the concentration of chlorogenic…
Performance, carcass quality and meat quality of the endangered German Angler Saddleback pig Open
The Angler Saddleback pig is an endangered local breed originating from Germany. The breed is said to have low demands in terms of husbandry and feeding, and an excellent meat quality. To date, there is a lack of more recent scientific inv…
Enhancing agro-biodiversity in chicken: a sensory comparison of broths from German local chicken breeds and their crossbreeds Open
The poultry meat production landscape has undergone a reduction in chicken breeds, resulting in a reliance on a limited number of varieties. Motivated by the goal of promoting sustainable chicken production and enhancing agro-biodiversity,…
An overlooked compound contributing to boar taint and consumer rejection of meat products: 2-Aminoacetophenone Open
Mainly skatole and androstenone have so far been considered causative for boar taint. Using a mixed methods approach it is shown herein that 2-aminoacetophenone (AAP) affects human perception of pork, too. We explored the importance of AAP…

A review of dairy production and utilization in Ghana and Benin Open
High dairy production and utilization have proven very effective in improving food and nutrition security in society, especially among the rural poor. This review sought to find out the status of dairy production and utilization in Ghana a…
Animal performance and meat quality of two slow-growing chicken genotypes fed insects reared on municipal organic waste Open
To keep up with increasing demand for animal protein, alternative protein sources will need to be included in current animal production systems. The efficient growth of Hermetia illucens larvae combined with municipal waste as a substrate …
Taste of green: Consumer liking of pasture-raised beef hamburgers as affected by information on the production system Open
This paper aims to understand the link between the appreciation of sustainable food and taste. By taking the example of pasture-raised beef, we analyze the role of relevant information and the perception of taste by consumers. The latter i…
Consumer preferences for the color of unprocessed animal foods Open
Consumer choices for food products are often based on appearance; one important aspect being product color. We systematically review the literature on consumer preferences for the color of raw beef, pork, poultry, bee honey, cow milk, and …

Feeding green: Spirulina ( <i>Arthrospira platensis</i> ) induced changes in production performance and quality of salmonid species Open
\nSpirulina is an interesting candidate for fish nutrition. This study aims to investigate the effect of the complete replacement of fishmeal with spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) in the diets of brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), rainb…

Meat Quality Parameters, Sensory Properties and Consumer Acceptance of Chicken Meat from Dual-Purpose Crossbreeds Fed with Regional Faba Beans Open
Consumers’ concerns regarding the ethical and environmental practices of the current poultry production system have led to the search for an alternative production method. This study evaluated samples of three dual-purpose chicken crossbre…
Human perception of color differences using computer vision system measurements of raw pork loin Open
In the food industry, product color plays an important role in influencing consumer choices. Yet, there remains little research on the human ability to perceive differences in product color; therefore, preference testing is subjective rath…
Consumers' view on pork: Consumption motives and production preferences in ten European Union and four non-European Union countries Open
To analyse consumers' attitudes and perceptions towards pork, online surveys were performed with 11,294 consumers from ten European Union (EU) and four non-EU countries. The survey indicates that, although animal welfare affects consumers'…
Information effects on consumer preferences for alternative animal feedstuffs Open
As global demand for dietary protein continues to grow, insects and algae are receiving increased attention as sources of sustainable raw materials for animal feed. However, a lack of evidence on consumer perceptions, demand, and preferenc…
Total Replacement of Fishmeal by Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) and Its Effect on Growth Performance and Product Quality of African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) Open
Microalgae are increasingly being studied to replace fishmeal in aquafeed production. Low level Spirulina supplementation to various fish species has been widely investigated, demonstrating enhanced growth and better product quality. In or…
Smoothing in Ordinal Regression: An Application to Sensory Data Open
The so-called proportional odds assumption is popular in cumulative, ordinal regression. In practice, however, such an assumption is sometimes too restrictive. For instance, when modeling the perception of boar taint on an individual level…
Androstenone, skatole and the olfactory perception of boar taint Open
Fat samples from roughly a thousand pig carcasses were collected and subjected to a thorough sensory evaluation and quantification using a panel of 10 trained assessors on a sensory score scale ranging from 0 = ‘untainted’ to 5 = ‘strongly…
