Exploring the Biochemical Profile of Beta vulgaris L.: A Comparative Study of B...

In this study, leaves and roots from three beetroot cultivars (cv. Albina Vereduna (white roots), cv. Burpee’s Golden (golden roots), and cv. Pablo F1 (red roots)), as well as Swiss chard leaves (also known as “rhubarb chard”, or Beta vulgaris subsp. cicla var. flavescens) were evaluated in terms of their chemical profile and bioactive properties. Roots were characterized by high carbohydrate content, which als...

Exploring the potential of underrated yet versatile crop Lunaria annua L.: New ...

Lunaria annua is an underexplored crop with promising potential for use in various industries: food, oil etc. It grows rapidly, has low maintenance and high resistance to pathogens, which makes it a promising crop for sustainable cultivation. Herein, we investigated nutritional value, phenolic profile, and bioactive properties of L. annua seeds collected in the wild. The results we obtained indicate that seeds ...

Sensory optimization of gluten‐free hazelnut omelette and sugar‐modified chestn...

The Mediterranean region is distinguished by its gastronomic diversity and a wide variety of indigenous nut crops. In line with changing global food consumers’ preferences, a noteworthy aspect is the increasing demand to the use of local varieties in recipe formulation. The aim of the present studywas to incorporate the Terra Fria chestnut (Portugal) and Negreta hazelnut from Reus (Spain) in traditional Mediter...

Pine Nutshells and Their Biochars as Sources of Chemicals, Fuels, Activated Car...

Pine nutshells (PNSs) are lignocellulosic waste materials with limited use in domestic heating. However, a biorefinery approach may be applied to fractionate PNSs and produce chemicals, materials, and improved solid fuels. In this study, we fractionated PNSs and produced antioxidant extracts, lignins, polysaccharides, chars, and activated carbons and analyzed their potential applications. Pyrolytic kinetic mode...

Exploring the Bioactive Properties of Hydroethanolic Cork Extracts of Quercus c...

The bioactive properties of underutilized corks such as Quercus cerris cork and planted Quercus suber cork in the Eastern Mediterranean are not well-known but are crucial in developing lignocellulosic biorefineries. To assess their biological potential, hydroethanolic cork extracts of Quer- cus cerris and Quercus suber were analyzed for phenolic composition, antioxidant, antiproliferative, antimicrobial activit...

Bioactivities of Waste Cork and Phloem Fractions of Quercus cerris Bark

Recently, more and more researchers have begun to consider using waste bark fractions to produce value-added biochemicals and materials, as well as for energy production. Extraction is often the first operation in biomass biorefineries. Here we obtained hydroethanolic extracts from waste cork and phloem fractions of Quercus cerris bark and analyzed them to determine their antioxidant, antimicrobial, and nitric ...
