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...
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...
Comunicação científica por convite. ; Traditional foods are the key elements that differentiate the dietary patterns of each country. In most countries, there is limited information on the nutritional composition of such foods, therefore, there is a need to investigate, register and promote traditional foods. These foods are also a valuable contribution to the development and economic sustainability of rural a...
Within the frame of the European Project BaSeFood (Sustainable Exploitation of Bioactive Components Black Sea Area traditional foods), thirty-three traditional foods from six Black Sea Area Countries (Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania, Russian Federation, Turkey and Ukraine) were selected and prepared according to the traditional recipe, ingredients and traditional preparation methods. The aim is to promote and preser...
Rationale and objectives: Folates occur naturally as a variety of polyglutamates, with different biological activity. Folate is a generic term for a water-stable vitamin from B-complex, which exists in many chemical forms. It is essential for many of the methylation reactions involved in the synthesis of DNA and RNA, and hence plays a crucial role in cell division. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) is 400 µ...
Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is an essential water-soluble vitamin present in a wide variety of foods, namely in milk, dairy products, cereal products, meat products and green leafy vegetables. The primary form of the vitamin is an integral component of the coenzymes flavin mononucleotide and flavin-adenine dinucleotide. It is in these bound coenzyme forms that riboflavin functions as a catalyst for redox reactions...
In the last years, there has been an increased consumers interest and demand for traditional foods, which have an important role in the diets. Traditional foods can also be a valuable contribution to the development and economic sustainability of rural areas and the preservation of biodiversity. The aim of this study was to determine the proximate composition in traditional vegetable and fruit based recipes fro...
Minerals and trace elements and are essential for biological processes and play a vital role in normal growth and development. Low intake or reduced bioavailability of minerals may lead to deficiencies, which causes impairment of body functions. Due to the unquestionable importance of minerals in human nutrition, sodium (Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), phosphorous (P), ...
Este trabalho foi realizado no âmbito do Projecto "Exploração sustentável de componentes bioactivos de alimentos tradicionais da Região do Mar Negro - BaSeFood". Na maioria destes países, há falta de informação sobre a composição nutricional dos alimentos tradicionais, portanto, a investigação nutricional nestes alimentos é de grande importância. Os fitoesteróis (FE) são compostos bioactivos em muitos alimentos...
A exploração sustentável de compostos bioactivos de alimentos tradicionais da Região do Mar Negro (BaSeFood) é um projecto de 3 anos, financiado pelo 7º Programa-Quadro. Este projecto consiste num consórcio de investigação contituído por 13 parceiros, designadamente Itália (dois), Reino Unido, Grécia, Portugal, Sérvia e seis países da Região do Mar Negro: Rússia, Ucrânia (dois), Roménia, Bulgária, Turquia e Geó...
