Potential uses of irradiation (2010)
Book Chapter

Food irradiation has been recognized as a reliable and safe method for the preservation of food and for improving the hygienic quality and nutritional value of food. In addition to the control of microorganisms of numerous food commodities, ionizing... Read More about Potential uses of irradiation.

Effect of irradiation on fish and seafood (2010)
Book Chapter

The consumption of diets rich in fish by various populations and by groups participating in clinical trials has been associated with a wide range of positive health effects. However, the major problem with respect to distribution of seafood or fisher... Read More about Effect of irradiation on fish and seafood.

Applications of irradiation on meat and meat products (2010)
Book Chapter

Food irradiation is considered an important tool not only for ensuring safety but also for extending the shelf life of fresh meat. Food irradiation has been shown to eliminate pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms, providing a safer, longer lasting... Read More about Applications of irradiation on meat and meat products.

El lenguaje científico-técnico en el contenido de la novela y el cine entendidos como medio de divulgación: Análisis en la obra de Michael Crichton (Scientific and technical language in novels and movies considered as a format for science communication: Analysis in the works of Michael Crichton) (2010)
Book Chapter

The use of scientific or technical jargon has been considered an issue in science communication. Using works by Michael Crichton I argue that this concern has often overshadowed other aspects such as the format of science communication: if the format...

Tools to investigate reaction oxygen species-sensitive signaling proteins (2009)
Book Chapter

The thiols groups of cysteine residues on proteins are attractive oxidative targets for modification by reactive oxygen species, such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Such modification can lead to important cellular signaling processes that ultimately re... Read More about Tools to investigate reaction oxygen species-sensitive signaling proteins.

Proteomic analysis of a compatible interaction between Pisum sativum (pea) and the downy mildew pathogen Peronospora viciae (2008)
Book Chapter

A proteomic approach was used to identify host proteins altering in abundance during Peronospora viciae infection of a susceptible cultivar of pea (Pisum sativum cv. Livioletta). Proteins were extracted from fully developed pea leaflets at 4 days pos...
