Sharifi-Rad, Javad; Quispe, Cristina; Durazzo, Alessandra; Lucarini, Massimo; Souto, Eliana B.; Santini, Antonello; Imran, Muhammad; Moussa, Ashaimaa Y.Introduction Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) is a polyphenol obtained from diverse groups of plants, especially in the muscadine grape, red wine, lingonberry, cranberry and redcurrant. Resveratrol's health benefits were first highlighted in the study of the French paradox, which opened up an expansive research endeavor into this compound. Ever since, an array of pharmacological activities, includ...
Bee Products: A Representation of Biodiversity, Sustainability, and Health
Durazzo, Alessandra; Lucarini, Massimo; Plutino, Manuela; Lucini, Luigi; Aromolo, Rita; Martinelli, Erika; Souto, Eliana B.; Santini, AntonelloBiodiversity strengthens the productivity of any ecosystem (agricultural land, forest, lake, etc.). The loss of biodiversity contributes to food and energy insecurity; increases vulnerability to natural disasters, such as floods or tropical storms; and decreases the quality of both life and health. Wild and managed bees play a key role in maintaining the biodiversity and in the recovery and restoration of degra...
Fruit Wastes as a Valuable Source of Value-Added Compounds: A Collaborative Per...
Lucarini, Massimo; Durazzo, Alessandra; Bernini, Roberta; Campo, Margherita; Vita, Chiara; Souto, Eliana B.; Lombardi-Boccia, GinevraThe by-products/wastes from agro-food and in particular the fruit industry represents from one side an issue since they cannot be disposed as such for their impact on the environment but they need to be treated as a waste. However, on the other side, they are a source of bioactive healthy useful compounds which can be recovered and be the starting material for other products in the view of sustainability and a ...
