Food waste is a serious problem for food processing industries, especially when it represents loss of valuable source nutrients and phytochemicals. Increasing consumer demand processed poses the minimizing by conversion into useful products. In this regard, onion (Allium cepa) consisting mainly skin rich in bioactive phenolic compounds. Here, we characterized flavonoid profiles biological activities wastes two traditional varieties with protected geographical indication (PGI), red “Rossa di...

Ochratoxin A (OTA) contamination presents significant risks in viticulture, affecting the safety and quality of wine grape-derived products. This study introduces a groundbreaking method for early detection management OTA, leveraging environmental data such as temperature humidity. function derived from chemical analysis was developed to estimate OTA concentrations used label synthetic dataset, establishing safe thresholds. Two AI models were trained: one detecting presence other classifying...

Abstract The possible contamination by aflatoxins (AFs), ochratoxin A (OTA), fumonisin B 1 (FB ), fusaric acid (FA), and beauvericin (BEA), was investigated in 55 samples of dried figs figs‐based products purchased from the South Italy (Calabria) market. total 41 showed at least one mycotoxins investigated. Aflatoxin found six (0.19 — 8.41 μg/kg) were 13 (0.5–17.12 μg/kg), OTA 21 (<LOQ—158.58 FB eight (153.81–5,412.96 BEA 12 (<LOQ—5,708.49 FA 28 (<LOQ—74,520.20 μg/kg). analyzed...

Extra virgin olive oils (EVOOs) containing more than 5 mg/20 g tyrosol, hydroxytyrosol, and their secoiridoids can be recognized by health claims related to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress. Therefore, a reliable, accurate, standardized analytical procedure is needed determine these markers EVOO quality. In order overcome limitations current methods, detailed investigation sample preparation chromatographic conditions was performed UHPLC-UV-HRMS. The use C18 fused-core...

The detection and quantification of mycotoxins in beer are critical for ensuring consumer safety regulatory compliance. These contaminants, originating from barley other grains, persist potentially transform during the brewing process. This study presents an innovative analytical protocol using liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/ESI-MS/MS) simultaneous qualitative quantitative analysis nine mycotoxins, including aflatoxins (AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, AFG2),...

Consumers are aware of diet causing health problems and therefore there is an increased demand for natural ingredients that expected to be safe health-promoting. Many these compounds belong the class flavonoids can divided into five groups: flavanones, flavones, flavonols, flavanols, isoflavones anthocyanidins. Extracts from citrus fruits usually used as functional several products. The aim this paper was develop UHPLC-UV-ESI-HRMS method define metabolite profile different parts fruit, a...

Raman spectroscopy performed using optical fibers, with excitation at 1064 nm and a dispersive detection scheme, was utilized to measure selection of unifloral honeys produced in the Italian region Calabria. The honey samples had three different botanical origins: chestnut, citrus, acacia. A multivariate processing spectroscopic data enabled us distinguish their origin, build predictive models for quantifying important nutraceutic indicators, such as main sugars potassium. Furthermore,...

Sugar is a key ingredient widely used in food industries mainly the form of solution water. Due to different physical and chemical properties, simple complex sugars are mixed together obtain optimal mixture terms freezing point sweetness capability. Aiming measure some these relevant this paper viscosity data starting temperature have been measured for wide range binary, ternary, quaternary sugar solutions The onset was calculated from DSC data, applying new iterative numerical technique....

The occurrence of aflatoxin M1 in 69 milk samples collected a south region Italy 2016 was evaluated. were analysed using an automated method based on online SPE coupled with UHPLC tandem mass spectrometry. After salt induced liquid–liquid extraction acetonitrile to remove protein from milk, the extract diluted water and MS/MS method. Among no one had AFM1 higher than legally allowable limits whereas 71.4% other above LOD highest contamination level found pasteurised (44.39 ng kg−1). results...

High-performance anion exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC–PAD) combined chemometric analysis was developed to describe, for the first time, sugar profile of sixty-one honeys different botanical origin produced in southern Italy (Calabria Region). The principal component and linear discriminant used describe variability data were able discriminate according their a correlation index higher than 90%. For purpose robustness conclusions this study, analytical...

Phytochemicals and antioxidant properties of red sweet pepper cv Topepo grown in soil amended with different organic fertilizers were compared that unamended soil. Organic are an environmentally friendly alternative to recovery infertile soils resulted from the intensified agricultural practices production. The aim was discriminate effects one each other on quality find out better sustainable fertilization practice for its cultivation. Results showed compost vegetable residues (CV) enhanced...

To better understand the biochemistry of organoleptic properties honey influencing its commercial value, a predictive model for correlating amino acid profiles to aromatic compounds was built. Because composition different varieties plays key role as precursor specific aroma bouquets, it is necessary relate typesetting molecules. A selection unifloral honeys produced in Calabria, South Italy, were used, and new methodology based on use HILIC-UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS HS-SPME-GC-MS combined with...

Clonal selection and hybridisation are valid strategies to obtain fruits with enhanced sensorial nutraceutical properties. Within Citrus sinensis varieties, Tarocco clone "Lempso" is a typical product of the Calabria region (Italy) characterised by its red pulp. This first report concerning accurate profiling.To characterise in detail flavonoid composition Lempso compare antioxidant potential other varieties fast screening method.Extracts were subjected solid phase extraction...

Abstract BACKGROUND An antioxidant formula based on peanut skins and hulls was developed characterized for total single polyphenols, as well power, considering the contribution provided by each by‐product. Subsequently, it evaluated its effect sensory properties aroma stability of bars over a 100‐day period. To this purpose, snacks fortified, or not, with natural additive were experimentally produced. RESULTS Peanut contributed to greater extent than respect boosting content bioactives...
