Method: Total fat ana...
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...

Costa, H.S.; Sanches-Silva, A.; Albuquerque, T.G.; Trichopoulou, A.; Vasilopoulou, E.; D'Antuono, L.F.; Finglas, P.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...
An overview of the European health examination survey pilot joint action
Kuulasmaa, K.; Tolonen, H.; Koponen, P.; Kilpeläinen, K.; Avdicová, M.; Broda, G.; Calleja, N.; Dias, Carlos Matias; Gösswald, A.; Kubinova, R.Background Health Examination Surveys (HESs) can provide essential information on the health and health determinants of a population, which is not available from other data sources. Nevertheless, only some European countries have systems of national HESs. A study conducted in 2006-2008 concluded that it is feasible to organize national HESs using standardized measurement procedures in nearly all EU countries. T...
New nutritional data on selected traditional foods from Black Sea area countries
Costa, H.S.; Albuquerque, T.G.; Sanches-Silva, A.; Vasilopoulou, E.; Trichopoulou, A.; D’Antuono, F.; Alexieva, I.; Boyko, N.; Fedosova, K.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...
Traditional foods: a contribution to biodiversity and sustainable diets
Costa, H.S.; Vasilopoulou, E.; Trichopoulou, A.; D'Antuono, F.; Finglas, P.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...
Proximate composition of plant origin traditional foods from Black Sea Area Cou...
Albuquerque, T.G.; Costa, H.S.; Sanches-Silva, A.; Fontes, T.; Mota, C.; Santos, M.; Vasilopoulou, E.; Trichopoulou, A.; D’Antuono, F.; Alexieva, I.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...
Determination of total folate content in traditional foods from Black Sea Area ...
Finglas, P.; Roe, M.; Sanches-Silva, A.; Vasilopoulou, E.; Trichopoulou, A.; D’Antuono, F.; Alexieva, I.; Kaprelyants, L.; Karpenko, D.; Kilasonia, Z.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 content in selected traditional foods from Black Sea Area countries
Costa, H.S.; Flores, C.; Sanches-Silva, A.; Albuquerque, T.G.; Santos, M.; Vasilopoulou, E.; Trichopoulou, A.; D’Antuono, F.; Alexieva, I.; Hayran, O.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...
Traditional foods of Black Sea Countries
Vasilopoulou, E.; Dilis, V.; Finglas, P.; Costa, H.S.; D’Antuono, L.F.; Trichopoulou, A.; on behalf of the BaSeFood Black Sea area partnersINTRODUCTION: Traditional dietary patterns, generally beneficial to health as judged over time, should be promoted beyond the native country’s borders. Scientific data is a prerequisite for the successful promotion of a sustainable diet. The Mediterranean diet is a distinguished example of such a dietary pattern. Accumulating scientific evidence has established it globally as a model diet. OBJECTIVES: A fra...
