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 oral a convite. ; 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...
This report is the final report of the EFSA contract CFT/EFSA/DCM/2011/03. The aim of the project was to provide EFSA with an updated food composition database covering approximately 1750 foods in combination with additional FoodEx2 facet descriptors included in the EFSA FoodEx2 classification system, and to expand the dataset to include harmonised information on the most common composite recipes of European co...
The health promoting properties of carotenoids, namely against cancer and cardiovascular diseases, besides their provitamin A activity, have enhanced the scientific interest on these compounds. In the view of the great number of compounds of this family, the need of developing methods for the simultaneous analysis of the most common compounds of this group is unquestionably required. Fruits in general and exot...
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...
Comunicação científica a convite ; Traditional foods are an important element of the culture, history, identity, heritage of a region or country and are key elements for the dietary patterns. These foods are commonly perceived as foods that have been consumed locally or regionally for a long time and the methods of preparation of such foods have been passed from generation to generation. Traditional foods also...
Newsletter desenvolvida no âmbito do projecto BaSeFood para divulgação científica do projecto para a comunidade em geral.
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...
