The chemical composition of the inflorescences from four Cannabis sativa L. monoecious cultivars (Ferimon, Uso-31, Felina 32 and Fedora 17), recently introduced in Lazio Region, was monitored over season June to September giving indications on their sensorial, pharmaceutical/nutraceutical proprieties. Both untargeted (NMR) targeted (GC/MS, UHPLC, HPLC-PDA/FD spectrophotometry) analyses were carried out identify quantify compounds different classes (sugars, organic acids, amino cannabinoids,...
The chemical profile of the female inflorescence extracts from seven Cannabis sativa L. dioecious cultivars (Carmagnola, Fibranova, Eletta Campana, Antal, Tiborszallasi, Kompolti, and Tisza) was monitored at three harvesting stages (4, 14, 30 September), reaching beginning flowering to end flowering/beginning seed formation, using untargeted nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) targeted (ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) spectrophotometry) analyses. tetrahydrocannabinol...
Nine commercial hemp seed oils from different countries were studied using a multimethodological approach to obtain information about their quality and chemical composition. Due the lack of specific regulation for oils, parameters used in case olive (free acidity, peroxides number, spectrophotometer parameters) anisidine number measured compared with those reported extra virgin oil (EVOO). Free acidity showed great variability, ranging 0.4 17.24% 4.32 22.14 meqO2/kg, respectively, whereas...
“Plant milks” are water-based beverages, such as, extracts from cereals, pseudo-cereals, oil seeds, legumes or fruits. Plant milk consumption is rising in European and North American markets due to problems related cow allergies, intolerances, but also because of vegan diets sensitivity environmental issues. There no specific regulation for these therefore their composition can vary considerably, even the same category. The aim this study characterize main categories cereal pseudo-cereal...
Industrial Hemp, Cannabis sativa L., is characterized by low content of THC (<0.2%). An edible oil with excellent nutritional proprieties obtained from cold pressing hempseed. Since Hempseed not reported in a Regulation yet, order to ensure quality parameters, it necessary optimize standard methods (taken the for EVOO). In this work, method parameters (free fatty acidity, peroxide number, and anisidine number) were miniaturized optimized matrix. The result being sustainable, environmental...
Torpedino di Fondi (TF) is a hybrid tomato landrace developed in Sicily and recently introduced the south Lazio area along with classical San Marzano (SM) cultivar. The present study aimed at characterizing TF tomatoes both pink red ripening stages, comparing them traditional SM tomatoes. A multidisciplinary approach consisting of morphological, chemical (FT-ICR MS, NMR, HPLC, spectrophotometric methods), biological (antioxidant antifungal vitro activity) analyses was applied. Morphological...
Purpose Hempseed oil is a valuable emerging food product with recognized health positivity due to its composition. The paper aims propose multi-methodological chemical profiling of nine organic hempseed samples (different brands and prices) from the retail market, followed by multivariate data analysis. Design/methodology/approach Fatty acids, tocopherols, squalene, total carotenoids content, phenolic compounds, content anti-radical activity (DPPH• ABTS•+ assays) were determined through...
Olive Mill WasteWater (OMWW) is an important by-product of the Oil production. Its high concentration in Phenolic Compounds (PC) gives OMWW antimicrobial and phytotoxic properties. The aim this work to develop a rapid, simple sustainable method based on use gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) chosen extract PC from OMWW. AuNPs can be used taking advantage their unique surface properties surface/volume ratio. They also offer stability, easy chemical synthesis water or eco-friendly solvents for...
Although many industries have already implemented technologies based on artificial intelligence (AI) in their business, the effects of new digital solutions customer satisfaction are not yet fully known. This study aimed to evaluate AI-based advice by an Italian start-up operating food supplements support choices. The evaluation utilized Delphi method and a questionnaire survey. research provide companies wishing use AI with preliminary criterion for improving through approaches. Research...
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a dietary source of bioactive compounds and breeding programs continuously create new cultivars with different nutritional organoleptic characteristics. The aim this work to provide quality safety assessment tomato cultivars: Bamano, Dulcemiel Sugarland. Eight biogenic amines, total phenolic content antioxidant activity (DPPH ABTS assays) have been determined. Tyramine was not detected in any samples. Sugarland characterized by high serotonin (266.87 ± 11.16...
According to the Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda 2030), a key factor ensure better and more sustainable future for all is promotion of different food production systems. Nowadays, agriculture one most impactful sec-tors environmental pollution. Moreover, diet choices have direct influence on our ecological footprint.
