Analysis of table olives microbiome using next-generation sequencing has enriched the available information about microbial community composition this popular fermented food. In study, 16S and 18S rRNA was performed on five Greek cultivars, Halkidikis, Thassou, Kalamon, Amfissis, Konservolia, either by style (in brine or salt-drying) Spanish style, in order to evaluate their communities. Moreover, analytical methods were used biochemical properties. The prevailing bacterial species all...
Despite growing interest in ancient wheat varieties, the functional and nutritional properties of einkorn (Triticum monococcum) cereal-based foods remain not fully elucidated. This study examined chemical composition wholegrain pasta through cooking simulated gastrointestinal digestion, comparing it with conventional Triticum durum pasta. While sharing similar macronutrient profiles, demonstrated higher retention key compounds including phenolics, tocopherols, phytosterols throughout vitro...
The rapid growth of the dairy industry has resulted in a significant increase generation effluents, which are characterized by high organic content that poses environmental challenges. In alignment with sustainable practices and principles circular economy, this study investigates valorization cheese whey (CW) effluents through cultivation microalga Dunaliella tertiolecta under mixotrophic conditions. research aims to utilize as supplemental medium enhance production algal biomass...
Aside from plant breeding and agricultural inputs, understanding interpreting the Genotype × Environment (G E) interaction has contributed significantly to increase in wheat yield. In Central Macedonia, Greece, fifteen commercially important durum cultivars one landrace were tested six cultivation environments classified into high- low- productivity environments. This study aimed identify most productive stable genotypes across Mediterranean farming systems through a comparative examination...
In this study, the influence of genotype (G), environment (E), and their interaction (G × E) on content total free phenolic compounds (TPC) antioxidant capacity (AC) was investigated, using sixteen durum wheat genotypes cultivated under seven crop management systems in Mediterranean environments. Possible correlations between TPC AC with protein (PC) vitreous kernel percentage (VKP) were examined. Gs that exhibited stability across diverse conditions studied through a comprehensive...
spp. are prevalent foodborne bacterial enteric pathogens. Their inclusion in biofilms on abiotic surfaces is considered a strategy that facilitates their extraintestinal survival. Organic acid (OA) treatments could be used green approach to decontaminate various surfaces. This work aimed evaluate the inhibitory and eradicative effects of L(+)-lactic (LA), naturally occurring OA, dual-species biofilm formed two food processing model (polystyrene stainless steel) by three selected
Research has highlighted the nutritional benefits of ancient grains, especially emmer (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccum) and einkorn monococcum), compared to modern varieties common durum wheat, focusing on their higher levels antioxidants phytochemicals. In this study, grains from old Greek landraces einkorn, emmer, wheat were cultivars, as well barley, oats rye investigate unique genetic profile properties. Genotyping Triticum species was performed using SSR markers, which allowed...
In this study, an analysis was conducted on 16 durum wheat genotypes cultivated under seven different crop management systems. The purpose to investigate the influence of Genotype (G), Environment (E), and by interactions (GxE) content total free phenolic compounds (TPC) antioxidant capacity (AC) in Mediterranean environments identify their adaptability climatic change. Additionally, possible correlations between TPC AC with protein (PC), vitreous-kernel percentage (VKP) samples were...
Vertical Farms (VFs) are controlled indoor growing systems that maximize crop production and land-use efficiency. The major disadvantage of VFs is the high energy demand for lighting, making it necessary to adopt light conditions offer desirable traits plants under minimum consumption. aim this study was evaluate nutritional factors corn salad different lighting conditions. Two qualities were tested, white blue-red-near-infrared parts spectrum three daily integrals, DLI, each. optimal...
