Organic agriculture involve plants which are cultivated without using synthetic pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers and promotes biodiversity, biological cycles improve the product quality. The carotenoids, total polyphenols antioxidant activity from skins of some wine table grapes in organic conventional were studied.The main carotenoids identified high performance liquid chromatography lutein ß-carotene. Muscat Ottonel variety has highest ß-carotene concentration 504.9 μg/kg for 593.2...
The use of agricultural and food by-products is an economical solution to industrial biotechnology. apricot press residues are abounding from juice industry which can be used as substrates in solid state fermentation process (SSF), thus allowing a liberation increase content various biomolecules with high added value.The evolutions phenolic levels (by colorimetric assays performance liquid chromatography, HPLC-MS) antioxidant activities DPPH assay) during SSF pomaces Aspergillus niger...
Total and individual carotenoids, fatty acid composition of total lipids, main lipid classes 16 fresh bee-collected pollen samples from Romania were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection capillary gas mass detection. Analyzed found rich in lutein, whereas β-criptoxanthin β-carotene present a wide range amounts correlated predominant botanical origin the samples. High lutein presence Callendula officinalis, Taraxacum officinale Anthylis sp. The...
The circular economy action plan involves principles related to food waste reduction and integration of recovered nutrients the market. In this context, present study aims highlight valuable bioactive components found in tomato processing by-products (carotenoids, phenolic compounds fatty acids) influenced by industrial pre-treatments, particularly cold break (CB) process at 65–75 °C hot (HB) 85–95 °C. acid profile seed oil was examined gas chromatography coupled mass spectrometry (GC-MS),...
A systematic mapping of the phytochemical composition different sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) fruit subspecies is still lacking. No data relating to fatty acid main lipid fractions from berries ssp. carpatica (Romania) have been previously reported.The total lipids (oils) and major (PL, polar lipids; FFA, free acids; TAG, triacylglycerols SE, sterol esters) oils extracted parts six berry (ssp. carpatica) cultivated in Romania were investigated using gas chromatography-mass...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect solid-state fermentation (SSF) by Aspergillus niger on phenolic contents and antioxidant activity in Sambucus nigra L. ebulus berry pomaces. time total fats major lipid classes (neutral polar) also investigated. During SSF, extractable phenolics increased with 18.82% for S. 11.11% levels methanolic extracts were significantly enhanced. HPLC-MS analysis indicated that cyanidin 3-sambubioside-5-glucoside is compound both fermented fruit...
This study aimed to determine the chemical composition, fatty acids, volatile profile and phenolic compounds profiles from five wild edible mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus, Pleurotus ostreatus, Cantharellus cibarius, Boletus edulis, Lactarius piperatus) Romania. The results indicated that dried fruiting bodies of selected were rich in proteins (36.24 g/100 g dw-Boletus edulis) carbohydrates (62.45 dw-Lactarius piperatus). 4-Hydroxybenzoic acid cinnamic acid, main compound present all species....
Sea buckthorn oil, derived from the fruits of shrub, also termed seaberry or sandthorn, is without doubt a strikingly rich source carotenoids, in particular zeaxanthin and β-carotene. In present study, sea oil an oil-in-water emulsion were subjected to simulated gastro-intestinal vitro digestion, with main focus on xanthophyll bioaccessibility. Zeaxanthin mono- di-esters predominant carotenoids dipalmitate as major compound (38.0%). A typical fatty acid profile was found, palmitic (49.4%),...
Calendula officinalis L. (pot marigold) is an annual aromatic herb with yellow or golden-orange flowers, native to the Mediterranean climate areas. Their seeds contain significant amounts of oil (around 20%), which about 60% calendic acid. For these reasons, in Europe concentrated research efforts have been directed towards development pot marigold as oilseed crop for industrial purposes.The content and fatty acid composition major lipid fractions from eleven genotypes (Calendula L.) were...
Being delicious and containing strong disease-fighting agents, berries represent an increasing proportion of fruits consumed nowadays in our diet. However, are highly perishable as fresh and, therefore, they usually processed into various products to extend their shelf-life availability throughout the year. Among fruit-containing products, jam is one most common due its nourishing properties, low production costs, accessibility for a lengthy period. Rather than home preparation, consumers...
A growing interest in using Nigella sativa oil (NSO) the prevention or treatment of several cardiovascular diseases has prompted this study. The research aims to investigate effect NSO on cardiac damage after long-term administration induced myocardial infarction (MI) rats.
Lactic acid production during growth of several probiotic bacteria (Lactobacillus plantarum, Bifidobacterium infantis, Lactobacillus casei, breve and mix them) in model MRS media has been monitored using HPLC the bacterial fingerprint was detected FTIR. FTIR spectroscopy able to identify specific markers located at 900-1300 cm-1 (carbohydrates proteins, nucleic acids from DNA bacteria), 1300-1900 (C=O stretching vibrations) large band (for water) 3100-3700 cm-1. evaluation showed that...
