In this work, the authors proposed a system of metrology of extra virgin olive oil organoleptic quality, based on Panel Test with specially designed evaluation sheet for the development of the guide "Flos Olei". The assessment of quality is defined through a holistic processing system based on Kohonen maps, which also provides for the dissemination of metrology system developed by supervised systems of Back Propagation, trained by gas chromatography of oil samples used for the development of metrology. The making available by E.V.O. editor of "Flos Olei" guide, the evaluation sheets of extra...

Over the last years, olive oil production increased worldwide. Along with this growth, a high rate of residues, namely olive pomace, have been produced. Olive pomace is a natural source of bioactive compounds with major applications for human health and well-being. However, it also has a phytotoxic effect, being an environmental burden. A current sustainable development strategy in Europe agrees, on the context of circular economy, on the recovery of agro by-products and closing the loop between the food production and consumption. Therefore, there is a growing awareness on characterization...

Foodomics was defined for the first time in 2009 as “a new discipline that studies the food and nutrition domains through the application of advanced omics technologies to improve consumer’s well-being, health and confidence. Foodomics, more than a simple term covering the panel of the “omic” sciences, also includes the nutritional aspects. Foodomics allows the simultaneous characterization of large numbers of compounds in food matrices, offering to food and nutrition scientists the opportunity to acquire a far more detailed and comprehensive molecular picture of food composition. The...

Post harvest losses of horticulture farm produce are the major problem in the market supply chain. Loss of food produced is not only waste of food, its waste of small holder’s effort, their inputs, capital and also waste of water resources. Tomatoes are highly perishable with a limited storage life of 7 - 10 days. In India lack of pack house facilities with infrastructure for sorting, grading, cold chain logistics and post harvest processing mechanism, the farmers are getting very low returns with loads of marketable surplus left behind. In Tamil Nadu tomato crop is cultivated on more than...

Selenium (Se) is an essential element for human health. Dietary levels in the population are positively correlated to selenium content in foods as consumed. Dietary Reference Intake for Se is 55 µg/day for adult men and women. However, depending on the species, oxidation state and concentration Se can be toxic to human health. Accurate determination of Se content in the diet demands information not only on total Se (tSe) but also on the bioaccessible species presented in food samples. The aim of this work was to evaluate the concentration of tSe and Se species as Selenomethionine (SeMet),...

In this study, composite films of corn starch, methylcellulose and carboxymethylcellulose plasticized by glycerol or polyethylene glycol (PEG) were prepared and the effects of blending level as well as the plasticizer type on the microstructure, water vapour permeability (WVP), opacity and solubility properties were investigated. SEM observations showed homogeneous matrix of glycerol plasticized films and it was taken as an indicator of structural integrity. PEG plasticized films exhibited discontinuous surface, and this was attributed to phase separation.

In this pilot study, Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometry coupled with a time- of-flight mass analyzer and an automatic sampler was evaluated as rapid a rapid tool for the quality control of anhydrous milk fat. Two different types of packaging for storage – cardboard and bag-in- box - were evaluated during accelerated shelf life at 50°C for 11 days. Preliminary results show the possibility to identify markers related to both products packaging and shelf life, thus indicating the possible application of Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometry in agroindustry quality control programs.

Multicore-delivery of bioactive mixture through microencapsulation has several advantages over the intake of single component in the formulation, in which there is a synergistic antioxidant effect among different bioactives. Fruit pomace extract contains both hydrophobic and hydrophilic components. Studies are taking critical approach to develop unique multicore microencapsulation with fruit pomace extract and other natural bioactives to promote high synergistic effects and enhance bioactivity and bioavailability. Study is to develop microcapsules by double emulsion (w/o/w) and complex...

Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world, mainly due to its very limited and costly production, both in terms of product amount (3 stigmas for 3 flowers are produced from each corm) and cultivation, and of manual procedures of harvest, respectively. For all these aspects, saffron is one of the most adulterated and sophisticated product on the market, and assessment of robust protocols of metabolite determination, with the subsequent determination of genotype- or process-specific metabolic markers are needed to assist the consumers. Europe owes several high-quality ecotypes, as the...

Mineral, spring and tap water samples from Greece have been analysed. Analytical measurements were performed for a number of parameters: pH, conductivity, cations (Na + , NH 4+ , Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , K + ) and anions (Cl - , F - , NO 2- , NO 3- , Br - , PO 4 3- , SO 4 2- ), by ion chromatography, and heavy metals (Ba, B, Cd, Mn, Pb, Ni, Fe, Cu, Cr by Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy and As, Hg, Sb, Se by Flow Injection Atomic Spectroscopy). A chemometrics tool, namely LDA (Linear Discriminant Analysis) has been applied on the analytical results for the discrimination of the samples...
