During the fieldwork, the process of preparing traditional dishes was documented, and the sources of food, cooking techniques and traditional gastronomic preparations were identified to characterize the amphibious cuisine of the palafito town of Buenavista, Cienaga Grande Santa Marta, Colombia. The main findings of this study are as follows. The people in this region eat mainly fish products, cereals, tubers, some fruits and vegetables. Food is prepared in traditional three-stone stoves, and traditional cooking techniques include deep frying, stewing, stir frying, grilling, boiling, and reducing in sugar. Through culinary dialog, new gastronomic preparations were proposed without suppressing the cultural and traditional elements offered as snacks, main meals, desserts and drinks. In conclusion, from food sources to traditional gastronomic preparations and the passing on of culinary knowledge, the amphibious cuisine of the palafito town of Buenavista is characterized by food obtained from fishing and agricultural products purchased from nearby towns. This cuisine, which operates through a system of gastronomic routes, should be disseminated through food tourism and preserved through audiovisual records to value and rediscover this ancestral gastronomic tradition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48594,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science","volume":"41 ","pages":"Article 101218"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144313424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This exploratory study analyzed 146 monthly menus from 15 state schools, all located in the same city, collected during the 2023 school year. The assessment included the Quality Index of the Food and Nutrition Security Coordination (IQ COSAN) for qualitative assessment, the Menu Planning of the National School Feeding Program (PNAE Plan) for nutritional evaluation, and carbon and water footprint indicators to measure the environmental impact of meals. The menus presented an average score of 67.2 in the IQ COSAN, classifying them as “in need of improvement”. The mean energy content of the meals was 388.1 kcal, with carbohydrates representing 67.8 % of the total energy. Beef was the food with the highest mean carbon footprint (4.2 kgCO₂eq/kg), while rice had the highest mean water footprint (127.5 L/kg). There was a correlation between dietary diversity and the water (r = 0.905, p &lt; 0.001) and carbon (r = 0.902, p &lt; 0.001) footprints, and an inverse correlation between the carbon footprint and the participation of carbohydrates in the meals (r = −0.795, p &lt; 0.001).

Strategies such as diversifying protein sources and valuing regional foods can contribute to more nutritionally balanced and sustainable menus.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48594,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science","volume":"41 ","pages":"Article 101227"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144291424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These strains were then used as starter cultures to evaluate fermentative performance. Lp47 and Lb83 demonstrated rapid growth and acidification under fermentation stress, respectively acidifying the medium at 4 and 6 h. Both strains progressively enhanced antioxidant activity and phenolic compound production during fermentation, with no significant differences (p &gt; 0.05). Rheological tests revealed that sourdoughs with Lp47 and Lb83 were less sticky, more elastic, and exhibited greater deformation resistance after 24 h. These findings underscore the potential of Lp47 and Lb83 as effective starter cultures for sourdough production, ensuring faster, controlled fermentation while enhancing textural and bioactive properties, particularly for large-scale applications. Exploring the biotechnological potential of sourdough fermentation processes expands our understanding and opens new possibilities in gastronomy and food science for developing functional, healthy and high value food products.

It stretches the metaphor of 360-degree gastronomy by considering how a pair of 180-degree rethinks might make this more plausible in a cooler-climate Chilean region largely unspoilt by Chile's success in producing warmer-climate red wines for export at bulk scale. Drawing inspiration from Spain's Enoturismo 360 movement, we propose a dual reorientation of Chilean wine production and its culinary pairings with the southerly Los Lagos Region's cuisine. A first 180-degree shift advocates a socio-economic pivot from the dominant export-driven model towards more localized, human-scale development. This shift challenges the conventional Chilean wine industry's reliance on large-scale, standardised production and aims to foster terroir-driven, community-focused viticulture that aligns with the principles of sustainability and local identity. This reorientation draws on the developmental philosophy of Chilean economist Manfred Max-Neef, emphasizing the importance of human-centred, small-scale economic models. The second 180-degree shift focuses on the concept of the <em>chronotope</em>, taken from Russian literary theorist Mikhail Bakhtin's criticism of narratives, to explore how wine can embody and narrate the cultural, historical, and geographic specificities of Los Lagos. Each of Los Lagos' four provinces —Osorno, Llanquihue, Chiloé, and Palena— possesses a distinct cultural meld shaped by indigenous, colonial, and subsequent settler influences. This shift invites the wine industry to craft provincial pairings that reflect the unique time-space dynamics of these locales. Pairings emphasize locally relevant flavours and storytelling, linking wine to regional cuisine, place, and history. Together, these “two complete 180s” offer a transformative path for emerging wine regions like Los Lagos, orienting them to transcend the constraints of Chile's traditional wine model. This conceptual framework provides a blueprint for other regions seeking to integrate sustainable production with place-based gastronomy, ensuring that wine is not merely a product, but a cultural expression embedded in time, space, and story.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48594,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science","volume":"41 ","pages":"Article 101228"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144279866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study focused on five legumes—white beans, red beans, chickpeas, green lentils, and lupins —that were untreated or thermally treated and processed into flours. Professional chefs were asked to create a legume-based shortcrust pastry recipe, which was subsequently simplified into a food model with fewer ingredients to minimize ingredient interactions. The chemical composition and functionality of the flour were assessed, along with the dough texture and the final textural and sensory qualities of the shortcrust pastries. The flours differed significantly in chemical composition, water/oil absorption capacity, particle size, and color (p-value &lt;0.05). Consequently, marked variation was seen among the different legume-based shortcrust pastries. Fiber content was positively associated with both flour water absorption capacity and dough hardness, resulting in crumbly shortcrust pastries. Shortcrust pastries made with lupin flour had very different characteristics than shortcrust pastries made with the other legume flours, due to pronounced differences in fibre, protein, and lipid contents. Additionally, using flours made from thermally treated legumes significantly decreased shortcrust pastry hardness. Instrument-based textural results were confirmed through sensory analysis.
