Abstract

Many post -harvest technologies have been applied to prolong the shelf life of black truffles; however, most of them negatively modify the genuine fresh truffle aroma. A novel edible gelatine hydrogel-based package (GHP) was tested to extend the shelf life of truffles and trap the aromatic compounds released by fresh truffles. First, the key physicochemical properties and microbiological and sensory attributes of the materials were characterised. The aromatic profile (by gas chromatography and a trained panel) and microbiological populations were monitored for 35 days in truffles stored in GHP and gelatine. Truffle preservation in GHP was compared to that in microperforated modified atmosphere packages (MAP) and that in macroperforated packages (C). The gelatine hydrogel exhibited extraordinarily high oxygen permeability and maintained a low microorganism load during storage (

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2025-07-13:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 22.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 43 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 1.35.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 2 (Altmetric).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
  • Assignment of a Handle/URN as an identifier within the deposit in the Institutional Repository: http://hdl.handle.net/10532/6896
