Conservation, characterization and exploitation of agrobiodiversity are key factors to guarantee food security face future challenges such as climate changes. These issues the subject a series international agreements, Convention Biological Diversity, with its Nagoya Protocol, International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food Agriculture (ITPGRFA) adopted in 2001 entered into force 2004. Italy ratified 2004 instituted long-lasting program, RGV-FAO, implement it. CREA is one three...
The addition of functional ingredients to breads could have effects on preventing cardiovascular diseases, cancers and inflammation. incorporation 0–5–10–15% three populations dried purslane flour the rheological, sensorial nutritional quality fortified durum wheat were evaluated. increase in (up 15%) caused an resistance mixture a consequent reduction its extensibility. “panel test” gave largely positive evaluation 10% enrichment. fatty acids resulted higher with 5% substitution. Contrary...
The rheological and chemical quality of pasta samples, which were obtained using the durum wheat semolina fortified with hemp seed solid residue, after oil extraction, sieved at 530 μm (Hemp 1) or 236 2) different percentages substitution (5%, 7.5%, 10%, evaluated. total polyphenolic content in flour was quantified range 6.38-6.35 mg GAE/g, free radical scavenging included from 3.94-3.75 mmol TEAC/100 g Hemp 1 2, respectively. phenolic profiles determined by UHPLC-ESI/QTOF-MS showed that...
Crop diversification represents a key lever to support the development of sustainable agri-food systems. Knowledge on trade-offs and carry over effects from different crop strategies is essential inform agricultural stakeholders potential costs benefits. This knowledge limited by existing data performance measures predominantly focused single crops, rather than complete rotations. Moreover, sustainability indicators are often used for assessment purposes, supporting stakeholder learning...
Cannabis sativa has long been harvested for industrial applications related to its fibers. Industrial hemp cultivars, a botanical class of with low expression intoxicating Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) have selected these purposes and scarcely investigated in terms their content bioactive compounds. Following the global relaxation market hemp-derived products, research pharmaceutical nutraceutical surged. In this context, metabolomics-based approaches proven fulfill aim obtaining...
Kernel size and shape are important parameters determining the wheat profitability, being main determinants of yield its technological quality. In this study, a segregating population 118 recombinant inbred lines derived from cross between Iranian durum landrace accession 'Iran_249' cultivar 'Zardak' was used to investigate kernel morphology factors their relationships with weight, map corresponding QTLs. A high density genetic map, based on 90k iSelect Infinium SNP assay, comprising 6195...
Due to its multipurpose usability, short production cycle, and low capital requirement in cultivation, hemp represents an excellent material applicable the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined by United Nations Organization as a strategy “to achieve future better more sustainable for all”. Hemp seeds represent only edible part of Cannabis sativa have distinctly different nutritional composition from other representative foods such rice wheat (high protein content, carbohydrate...
Cladodes are considered by-products of Opuntia ficus-indica cultivation. Their addition as source antioxidants to durum wheat breads could have effects on preventing cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and inflammation. The inclusion 0-5-10-15% cladodes, harvested in three different locations, quality antioxidant properties fortified has been evaluated. enrichment with 10% cladodes resulted an increase the content total phenolics (14.8 vs 2.7 mg GAE/100 g control bread), a decrease IC50 (3.28...
The edible portion of Cannabis sativa L. are the seeds.
 seeds generally used for production hemp oil, appreciated high percentage α-linolenic acid. waste obtained after oil extraction, reduced in fine powder, is subject this study. 
 Since considered to be a source many valuable bioactive compounds, addition seed flour durum wheat making fortified bread could have an effect on health consumers.
 aim study was use variable percentages bread, and determine fortification impact...
The cultivation of wheat has been part the evolution human civilisation since ancient times. Wheat breeding modified some its characteristics to obtain improved varieties with high production potential that better meet demands bread and pasta industry. Even today, there are still old varieties, landraces, adapted particular environments. They cultivated in areas because interest shown by market typical bakery products expressing cultural heritage local communities. aim this work was evaluate...
The agriculture sustainability assessment is a difficult issue for the coexistence of conflicting objectives and multidimensionality performances. environmental, economic social pillars need to be simultaneously considered in an evaluate potential synergies trade-offs agricultural processes within among attributes dimensions both implemented systems (ex-post analysis) options (ex-ante analysis). Among several methods, tools based on multi-criteria analysis (MCA) are increasingly adopted...
Abstract Background The use of industrial Cannabis sativa L. for recreational, cosmeceutical, nutraceutical, and medicinal purposes has gained momentum due to its rich content valuable phytochemicals, such as cannabidiol (CBD) cannabigerol (CBG). However, there are concerns regarding the risk microbial contamination in plants grown outside controlled environments. Microbes associated with hemp can be either epiphytes or endophytes may pose a infectious illness humans. Methods Seven Italian...
