A three-year field trial experiment was conducted using a randomised block design, in triplicate. The factors studied were as follows: I - three tillage systems - no-tillage (NT), reduced (RT), and conventional (CT); II - two winter wheat cultivars ‘Hylux’ (cv. hybrid) and for comparison ‘Bogatka’ (cv. common). The use of CT and RT tillage systems compared to NT significantly increased yield by 8.9 and 7.7%, respectively, and selected grain quality parameters along with a more favorable gluten protein profile. The flour obtained, with water absorption above 58.0%, can be classified as strong flour with good farinographic and alveograph parameters. The genetic characteristics of the wheat cultivars determined the technological quality of the grain and the baking value, as well as the grain yield. For ‘Hylux’ cv. hybrid wheat, there was a higher yield and better grain quality, which contained significantly more gliadins and glutenins, and the flour was characterised by higher parameters that determine the preferred viscoelastic properties of the dough. The common ‘Bogatka’ wheat cv. accumulated higher contents of ω gliadins and LMW and HMW glutenin subunits in the grain, while for α/β and γ gliadin contents the difference was not significant. A fairly dry period (June–July) of wheat ripening reduced the grain yield but was favourable for higher values of quality characteristics, gluten protein fractions, as well as the farinographic (WAF, DDT, DS) and alveograph (W, P, L) parameters.","PeriodicalId":377090,"journal":{"name":"Acta Universitatis Cibiniensis.

Seven formulations were obtained at different substitution levels (0 – 30%) of MP with MLP. Pesticide residues, aflatoxins, triazine and toxic metals were analysed using a GC-MS system and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Formulation with 30% MLP and without milk have the highest level of organochlorine (3.22 µg/kg), organophosphorus (0.40-4.56µg/kg) amongst others. Aflatoxins of the therapeutic foods increased with increasing levels of MLP. The heavy metals, melamine, and cyanuric acid of the RUTFs were below the standard permissible limits.

Ozonation process did not impact mechanical properties (except for elastic modulus) or morphological characteristics, but it resulted in decreased water loss, on average by 5.21%, in fruit kept in cold storage for 14 days, as well as increased pH and reduced acidity of sea-buckthorn berries on average by 9.03% and 20.0% (for ozone concentration of 50 ppm) compared to the control sample. Polyphenol contents in sea-buckthorn berries were identified using UPLC-PDA-MS/MS. Out of all the identified polyphenols, the findings showed the highest contents of flavone glycosides, represented e.g., by isorhamnetin-3-O-rutinoside. The contents of bioactive compounds (ascorbic acid, total polyphenols or polyphenol profile) as well as antioxidant activity (measured using DPPH. and ABTS+. assays) were different, depending on the variety and possibly were affected by the timing of sea-buckthorn fruit harvest.","PeriodicalId":377090,"journal":{"name":"Acta Universitatis Cibiniensis.

The mesquite flour addition increased the bread volume by about 17% and the number of large pores >5 mm. The brightness of the crumb containing mesquite flour decreased from 75.3 to 58.6 and the proportion of yellow colour increased from 19.9 to 26.4 in relation to the control bread. The bread with mesquite flour had a significantly softer crumb during storage in comparison with wheat bread, indicating a reduction in the staling. These observations were also confirmed by lowering the disintegration enthalpy of the retrograded amylopectin from 3.33 J/g for the control sample to 1.95 J/g for the bread containing 10% of mesquite flour.","PeriodicalId":377090,"journal":{"name":"Acta Universitatis Cibiniensis.

The incorporation of natural antioxidants and dietary fibre from agro-industrial coproducts is a good alternative to improve the nutritional characteristics of meat products. Pomegranate peel flour was employed as a functional ingredient to replace part of the fat, in a raw meat product like chorizo, determining changes in instrumental colour and texture, sensory acceptation, and neophobia. Pomegranate peel flour presented high content of polyphenols with considerable antioxidant activity, and high content of dietary fibre as well. Fibre retained moisture, decreasing water activity of the chorizos, decreasing pH during storage. Pomegranate peel flour increased the colour tone of the chorizos and decreased colour intensity, with a tough but easy to crumble texture. Sensory acceptation of chorizos with pomegranate peel flour was higher than control, although taste and texture were scored lower than the control sample. Results show that incorporation of pomegranate peel flour decreased Aw and pH, besides increased the samples luminosity and tone. Chorizo with pomegranate peel flour were harder than control. Nonetheless, as a functional ingredient improved health benefits with a positive consumers’ acceptance, non-neophobic, particularly in older consumers (40-50 years old).

Organoleptic property of preserved fish and meat was determined using trained panellists. Fat, protein, carbohydrates, crude fibre, ash and moisture content of oil from D. edulis seed are 55.7%, 18.7%, 10.8%, 7.1%, 4.6% and 3.1%, respectively. Potassium (106.5 µg/g) and phosphorous (102.5 µg/g) have the relatively highest values compared (p<0.05) to other minerals like zinc, iron, calcium, magnesium, and sodium. Better preservative property of oil was observed on fried fish and meat kept at 4°C with no microbial growth. The highest microbial load (3.95 × 106 cfu/g) occurred in fresh chicken coated with oil from D. edulis seed after 7 days of preservation. Fish and meat fried with oil from D. edulis seed were well accepted (9.00) than those fried with groundnut oil (3.50). Oil from D. edulis seed is an edible oil that can be utilized as alternative vegetable oil with natural preservatives and embedded nutrients.","PeriodicalId":377090,"journal":{"name":"Acta Universitatis Cibiniensis.
