This study aimed to explore the use of grape byproducts such as red pomace and elderberry, in form bioactive powders obtain three-month old cheese assortments. Grape powder (GPP) elderberry fruit (EFP) contain antioxidant components phenols, anthocyanins flavonoids, compounds characterized by high bioactivity. investigated not only potential incorporating different percentages (1%, 2%, 3%) GPP EFP cheese, increase its nutritional value, but also changes that occur during 2 months ripening....
The increased interest in organic tomatoes production demands breeders to develop new cultivars, which besides suitability low-input system and marketable quality, have exhibit high nutritional value, including health-promoting compounds. In this respect, paper aimed assess compare the value of four Romanian tomato two with determinate growth (‘Arge7 11’ ‘Arge7 123’) indeterminate (‘Costate 21’ ‘:tefane7ti 22’), created recommended for open field protected cultivation. cultivars were laid...
Wild berry are a rich of natural compounds which provide them high antioxidant potential. The these proprieties known to be vitamins, flavonoids, anthocyanins and phenolic acids. aim this study was extract characterize bioactive from rose hip (Rosa canina L.) currently found in Romania. A qualitative high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometric (ESI-MS) detection positive ion mode has been used identify crude extract. chromatograms revealed...
The aim of the experiment effectuated at company SC Cristal Lux SRL from Balan commune, Salaj County, Romania, was to establish best plant density and directing method for bell peppers cultivated in plastic tunnel. A bifactorial experience has been organized: Factor = density, with: a1– 30000 plants/ha; a2– 40000 B shoots pruning method, b1– pruned with 2 shoots; b2– 3 shoots. By factors combination 4 experimental variants resulted. Plants affected both early total yield. plants/ha assured a...
Pickling cucumbers are highly important both for fresh consumption and canning industry. This study aimed to compare differences in yield quality of eight pickling cucumber cultivars, including ‘Cor 12004’, ‘IGG 2010’, 2020’, ‘SM 5322’, 5323’, ‘Zayin 201’, 175201’ ‘Trilogy’. The cultivars were laid out a high tunnel crop evaluated vegetative traits (i.e. vine length, nodes per branches vine), attributes fruits main stem, average weight fruit plant) components (nitrate, phosphate potassium mg...
Agaricus spp. mushrooms are edible fungi of commercial and medicinal importance. Mushrooms convert nutritionally valueless substances into proteinous food with a very efficient bioconversion. Consumption mushrooms, has increased substantially due to their delicacy, flavour, nutritional value, being considered an excellent source protein, which can contribute the formulation balanced diet. Three species were used in this study: campestris (L. ex Fr.), bisporus (J.E. Lange) blazei (Murrill)....
In Romania, the sweet potato is recently cultivated, especially in South-West region. This region has a temperate continental climate that characterized by lack of water soil and atmosphere diversity types, very important factors for cultivation this species. The information about real effects environmental on nutritional quality production potatoes grown area led to study. Therefore, present paper aims evaluate nutraceutical content 5 genotypes, such as: TSS (total soluble substance), total...
The biodiversity conservation was included in environment problems at the ONU conference for and development, from Rio de Janeiro (1992). Important parts of are traditional varieties local populations crop plants. UE regulation 98/95 comes to protect vegetal genetic resources.
 Unlike other countries with advanced agriculture, Romania still has a rich diversity culture plants, especially zones that were non-cooperativized during communism. However, if there will not be any proper...
This study quantified differences in methanolic extracts composition among four grain amaranth cultivars (e.g. ‘Hopy Red Dye’, ‘Amont’, ‘Plenitude’, and ‘Golden Giant’) farmed under three planting conditions: no irrigation/no fertilization (NN), irrigation/fertilization (NF), (IN). The main outcomes were total flavonoids, polyphenols, antioxidant activity, protein content. Antioxidant activity was assessed using two Single Electron Transfer (SET) based assays: the 2,2'-azinobis...
Edible landscaping is the practical integration of food producing plants within an ornamental or decorative setting. Using edibles (trees, berry bushes, vegetables, herbs and edible flowers) in landscape design can enhance a garden b y providing unique component with additional health, aesthetic economic benefits. These landscapes are created consideration fo r value plants, addition t o their Thus, vegetables private property cou ld represent source healthy fresh that assures part people's...
Important factors to be considered for growing tomatoes in order obtain high and safety yield are variety, system of culture fertilization. To establish how the fertilization managing can influence both quality greenhouse grown on peat bags system, different doses types (basic additional) were studied this experiment. Two Dutch cultivars (Cronos F1 Menhir F1) with potential used. Cronos recorded best early (5.87 kg·m -2 ) total (13.06 ). Foliar fertilization, done a K ratio fertilizer...
Permanent grasslands have a remarkable importance for our life and natural environment preserving. They provide various species of herbs, which through the help animals are converted into most valuable foods such as milk meat other important animal products. Most part peoples want to live in developed society, with plenty technology, that makes more easy. An alternative like this leads climatic changes causes damages agriculture. In last decades were also affected by these order higher...
The leafy green vegetables are rich sources of antioxidants, minerals, vitamins and dietary fiber, which cannot be produced by the human body, only way for assimilation being food ingestion. One best these kinds nutrients, among Brassicas vegetables, is kale. Dry matter content kale important not fresh consumption, but also preserving processing leaves. In Romania less cultivated, present in several areas Transylvania interest its production consumption growing. aim research was to establish...
The preservation of the genetic variability at crop plants is an important premise for a long durable agriculture. Romania still has diversity plants. Unfortunately in risk this disappearance very big due to age seeds producers and surface unused land. 
 During 2007-2009, University Agricultural Sciences Veterinary Medicine (USAMV) from Cluj-Napoca series actions collecting vegetable seeds, description agronomical, biological biochemical point view authentic local varieties, producing...
