Volatile compounds, physicochemical and sensory attributes of four sweet cherry cultivars (Canada giant, Ferrovia, Lapins and Skeena) grown in Northern Greece were determined. Eighteen volatile compounds were identified and semi-quantified in cherries using solid phase micro extraction in combination with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (SPME-GC/MS). Carbonyl compounds were the most abunda...

Abstract The aim of this work was to investigate the effect full irrigation (FI), pre-veraison water deficit (RDI 1), or post-veraison 2) on growth, yield, and berry quality in container-grown, mature vines cv. Sangiovese grafted onto either 1103P SO4 rootstock over two consecutive growing seasons. Deficit regimes significantly affected vine status both rootstocks before after veraison. Trunk d...

Study background: Obesity is constantly increasing health problem worldwide and so are its detrimental consequences, including obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Mandibular advancement devices (MADs) are proven to be efficient in treating mild to moderate OSA and snoring. We followed for two years 103 patients treated with a titrable MAD in a Community Dental Care setting. Methods: A follow-up ques...

Mango is one of the most cultivated tropical fruits worldwide and few drought-tolerant plants. Thus, in this study effect a sustained deficit irrigation (SDI) strategy on mango yield quality was assessed with aim reducing water crop. A randomized block design four treatments developed: (i) full (FI), assuring crop’s needs, three levels SDI receiving 75%, 50%, 33% (SDI75, SDI50, SDI33). Yield, m...

Effects of cluster exposure and winemaking treatments on freeand potential-volatile terpenes (FVT. P VT), total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), phenols pH, color and potassium were studied. Canopies of Golden Muscat grape vines were manipulated by shoot positioning and basal leaf removal at fruit set to create shaded and exposed cluster conditions. Winemaking treatments included:...

The present study aimed to evaluate the drying quality of three tomato cultivars (Amoroso, Berlinto and Messina) at low final-moisture content. Tomatoes were cut into slices and hot-air-dried from 92% (wet basis) to 12% final moisture content at 55 degrees C, 65 degrees C and 75 degrees C at 1.5 m/sec air flow. Color, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA) and ascorbic acid (AA) co...

A comparative study was conducted to evaluate precision and accuracy in controlling the temperature dependence of encapsulated microbial time-temperature integrators (TTIs) developed using two different emulsification techniques. Weissela cibaria CIFP 009 cells, immobilized within 2% Na-alginate gel microbeads using homogenization (5,000, 7,000, and 10,000 rpm) and Shirasu porous glass (SPG) me...

Adding functional ingredients is an important method to develop dairy products. Mulberry pomace (MPo), a byproduct of mulberry fruit processing, rich in phenolic compounds and anthocyanins can be served as the ingredient The aim this work was prepare flavored yogurt by incorporating MPo into stirred investigate effects on physicochemical textural properties product during cold storage. We suppl...

Plant nutrition through mineral fertilizers is commonly used in soilless culture systems. Our study aims to replace intensive with bio-fertilizers, at least partially. We supplemented 50% of the Chlorella vulgaris microalgae, a mix beneficial bacteria and mycorrhiza. In addition, we investigated how enhance spinach quality by implementing sustainable eco-friendly production method. research foc...
