Carotenoids, vitamins (A, B2, C and E) and total folate of traditional foods fr...
Sanches-Silva, A.; Albuquerque, T.G.; Finglas, P.; Ribeiro, T.; Valente, A.; Vasilopoulou, E.; Trichopoulou, A.; Alexieva, I.; Boyko, N.; Costea, C.BACKGROUND: Carotenoids, vitamins (A, B2, C and E) and total folate are related to health promotion. However, there are still many food matrices for which the content of these compounds is not available. In order to fill this gap, traditional foods from Black Sea Area countries (BSAC) were analysed in order to investigate their potential health benefits. RESULTS: The most abundant carotenoid was β-carotene. Plu...
New nutritional composition data on selected traditional foods consumed in Blac...
Costa, H.S.; Albuquerque, T.G.; Sanches-Silva, A.; Vasilopoulou, E.; Trichopoulou, A.; D'Antuono, L.F.; Alexieva, I.; Boyko, N.; Costea, C.; Fedosov, S.BACKGROUND: Traditional foods are an important part of the culture, history, identity and heritage of a region or country and are key elements in dietary patterns. In most countries there is limited information on the nutritional composition of such foods and therefore there is a need to investigate, register and promote traditional foods. One of the aims within the ‘Sustainable exploitation of bioactive compon...
Fatty acids composition and total fat content in traditional foods from Black S...
Albuquerque, T.G.; Sanches-Silva, A.; Finglas, P.; D'Antuono, L.F.; Trichopoulou, A.; Alexieva, I.; Boyko, N.; Costea, C.; Fedosova, K.; Karpenko, D.Objectives: This work was performed within the collaborative research program Sustainable exploitation of bioactive components from the Black Sea Area traditional foods (BaSeFood), funded by the European Commission. The overall objective of this study was to determine the total fat content and fatty acids (FA) composition among 33 traditional foods from six Black Sea Area countries (BSAC). Method: Total fat ana...
Definition and documentation of traditional foods of the Black Sea Area Countri...
Dillis, V.; Vasilopoulou, E.; Alexieva, I.; Boyko, N.; Bondrea, A.; Fedosov, S.; Hayran, O.; Jorjadze, M.; Karpenko, D.; Costa, H.S.; Finglas, P.BACKGROUND: Nutrition and health claims are permitted in foods marketed in the European Union under Regulation 1924/2006. Quality products such as traditional foods might benefit from this act, as it can highlight their nutritional richness. In this study the nutritional content of 33 traditional foods from the Black Sea Area Countries was evaluated against the thresholds of the Regulation for nutrition claims....
Recent achievements in food composition information of traditional foods from E...
Costa, H.S.; Sanches-Silva, A.; Albuquerque, T.G.; Trichopoulou, A.; Vasilopoulou, E.; D'Antuono, L.F.; Finglas, P.Objectives: A trend towards the rediscovering of traditional foods has emerged as a reaction to the impact of globalization, in order to protect and maintain the diversity of regional food and agricultural traditions. Research in food composition, particularly traditional foods, is essential to understand their implications in human health and trace recommendations for an improved diet. One of the aims within E...
Traditional foods from Black Sea region as a potential source of minerals
Albuquerque, T.G.; Costa, H.S.; Sanches-Silva, A.; Santos, M.; Trichopoulou, A.; D'Antuono, L.F.; Alexieva, I.; Boyko, N.; Costea, C.; Fedosova, K.BACKGROUND: In the past few years, minerals have assumed great importance in public health. As a consequence, considerable research has been carried out to better understand their physiological role and the health consequences of mineral-deficient diets, to establish criteria for defining the degree of public health severity of malnutrition, and to develop prevention and control strategies. In most countries, t...
Provitamin A activity in traditional foods from Black Sea Area countries
Sanches-Silva, A.; Albuquerque, T.G.; Finglas, P.; Trichopoulou, A.; D'Antuono, L.F.; Alexieva, I.; Boyko, N.; Costea, C.; Fedosova, K.; Karpenko, D.Introduction and objectives: Vitamin A is found in the form of retinol, retinal, retinoic acid or esters in animal sources, while in plant sources, it is in the form of provitamin A. Conjugated double bonds of carotenoids absorb light and are responsible for the brilliant colours of fruits and vegetables ranging from the yellow, orange to red. Moreover, they protect cells from oxidation and cellular damages, pr...
Selected traditional foods from Romania in the frame of BaSeFood project
Costea, C.; Sanches-Silva, A.; Albuquerque, T.G.; Finglas, P.; Vasile, A.; Tampu, D.; Vasilopoulou, E.; Trichopoulou, A.; D’Antuono, L.F.; Costa, H.S.Introduction. Romania has an old tradition in different dishes that suffered outstanding influences along the time from: a) developed countries cuisines and experiments - French, Prussian; b) invading people (Ottomans), c) neighbourhoods related - Serbian, Hungarian, Ukrainian. Despite the strong influences, national food still maintained its own character. This work aims to determine the nutritional compositio...
Carotenoids of Traditional Foods from Black Sea Area Countries and their relati...
Sanches-Silva, A.; Albuquerque, T.G.; Finglas, P.; D'Antuono, F.; Trichopoulou, A.; Vasilopoulou, E.; Alexieva, I.; Boyko, N.; Costea, C.; Dubtsov, G.Carotenoids are colourful compounds which provide photoprotection of plants and participate in their photosynthesis. Particularly β-carotene may enhance the human immune response. Some epidemiological studies have suggested an association between carotenoids intake and reduced incidence of some forms of cancer, which might be related with the antioxidant properties of carotenoids, namely by their ability of red...
Comparison of proximate data among traditional foods from Black Sea Area countr...
Albuquerque, T.G.; Sanches-Silva, A.; Finglas, P.; Trichopoulou, A.; Vasilopoulou, E.; Alexieva, I.; Boyko, N.; Costea, C.; Fedosova, K.; Jorjadze, M.Introduction. Traditional foods from 6 Black Sea Area Countries (Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania, Russian Federation, Turkey and Ukraine) were prioritized within the frame of the European Project BaSeFood (Sustainable Exploitation of Bioactive Components Black Sea Area traditional foods). The selected traditional foods were categorized into 6 food groups: 1) Cereal or cereal based foods; 2) Fruit or fruit based food...
