Abstract For centuries, ancient grains fed populations, but due to their low yield, they were abandoned and replaced by high‐yielding species. However, currently, there is a renewed interest in wheat pseudocereal from consumers, farmers, manufacturers. Ancient such as einkorn, emmer, spelt, Kamut®, are being reintegrated because of fertilizer input, high adaptability important genetic diversity. New trends products also emerging, mostly appreciated for nutritional outcomes, particularly the...
Hulled, or ancient, wheats were the earliest domesticated by mankind and ancestors of current wheats. Their cultivation drastically decreased during 1960s; however, increasing demand for a healthy equilibrated diet led to rediscovering these grains. Our aim was use non-targeted metabolomic approach discriminate characterize similarities differences between ancient Triticum varieties. For this purpose, 77 hulled wheat samples from three different varieties collected: Garfagnana T. turgidum...
Recent studies show that the lipid transfer protein (LTP), major Rosaceae allergen in patients not sensitized to birch pollen, is a largely cross-reacting allergen. Moreover, it potentially hazardous due its stability upon thermal treatment and pepsin digestion. The present study reports 3 cases of rice-induced anaphylaxis LTP-allergic patients. In vitro inhibition studies, carried out using LTP purified from both rice apple as well whole peach extract, was relevant these demonstrate...
European Commission regulation 2073/2005 on the microbiological criteria for food requires that Escherichia coli is monitored as an indicator of hygienic conditions. Since verocytotoxigenic E. (VTEC) strains often cause food-borne infections by consumption raw food, Biological Hazards (BIOHAZ) panel Food Safety Authority (EFSA) recommended their monitoring in well. In particular, VTEC belonging to serogroups such O26, O103, O111, O145, and O157 are known causative agents several human...
Abstract The cultivation of genetically modified (GM) crops has raised numerous concerns in the European Union and other parts world about their environmental economic impact. Especially outcrossing organisms (GMO) was from beginning a critical issue as airborne pollen been considered an important way GMO dispersal. Here, we investigate use sampling combined with microscopic analysis molecular PCR approach to monitor GM maize cultivations specific area. Field trial experiments South America...
Escherichia coli is a group of bacteria which has raised lot safety concerns in recent years. Five major intestinal pathogenic groups have been recognized amongst the verocytotoxin or shiga-toxin (stx1 and/or stx2) producing E. (VTEC STEC respectively) received attention recently. Indeed, due to high number outbreaks related VTEC strains, European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) requested monitoring "top-five" serogroups (O26, O103, O111, O145 and O157) most often encountered food borne...
Due to favourable climate condition, Italy is a prominent producer of different wheat varieties. Several baked goods are produced, but the most typical Italian foods, like pasta, pizza and bread, made durum common flour. Because great importance in food market, authenticity represents an essential quality parameter not only for producers regulatory bodies also consumers. The aim our study was test effectiveness unconventional non-targeted method discrimination Triticum species using direct...
Shelf-stable low glycemic index ready-to-eat (RTE) risotto meals (in pouches) containing brown rice and pulses (recipe A = chickpeas; recipe B lentils, beans) were developed, stored for 12-months at room temperature, characterized over time. RTE heated in microwave (replicating home consumption procedure), analyzed vitro starch digestibility, textural attributes, consumer acceptability. Digestible fractions similar the formulations during storage, vivo testing demonstrated indexes 43.5 ±...
Further to the detection by German authorities of unauthorised flax CDC Triffid event FP967 (Unique Identifier CDC-FLOO1-2) in materials imported from Canada, a notification was sent through Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) September 2009. On 21 August 2009, Community Reference Laboratory Genetically Modified received construct-specific method FP967, developed Genetic ID, Augsburg (Germany). The developer declared this as specific it targets transition sequence spanning nopaline...
Summary Rice ( Oryza sativa L.) bran is an important by‐product produced during the milling of brown rice, rich in several valuable compounds, such as lipids. Moreover, considering valorisation potential these material, application innovative and low‐impact techniques can improve overall quality by‐products for their future exploitation food manufacturing. In this study, impact air classification micronisation (fine grinding) rice on lipid components was studied. These treatments allowed to...
Abstract Triticum heritage varieties and ancient species are gaining interest of consumers due to the perception a healthier nutrition profile than other modern wheat. Although still limited, several findings highlighted real potential beneficial role wheat-based products consumption on cardiometabolic factors (1) . However, lack information is present, especially for their effect postprandial glycaemia. Evolutionary populations (EPs) plants within same in one field characterized by high...
