The undesired effects generated by the usage of synthetic antioxidants in foodstuffs increase the interest of food producers and customers in the finding of new food additives of natural origin. The chemical composition and antioxidant potentials of Anethum graveolens L. essential oil of were investigated in this study. The isolation of essential oil was conducted by steam distillation with a yield of 1.83% (v/m). The material used for extraction was dill seeds (natural dried product). Gas chromatography coupled w...

The production of food waste covers all the food life cycle: from agriculture, up to industrial manufacturing and processing, retail and household consumption. Increasingly, industrial ecology concepts such as cradle to cradle and circular economy are considered leading principle for eco-innovation, aiming at ?zero waste economy? in which waste is used as raw material for new products and applications. The large amount of waste produced by the food industry, in addition to being a great loss of valuable materials,...

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is among the top five most cultivated and most important cereals in the world, being a highly yielded crop that adapts easily to drought and high temperatures. Besides being used as a raw material for biofuel, it is used in the diet in many parts of the world because of the rich content of health promoting compounds such as phenolic compounds. The aim of this research was to determine the total phenolic content, flavonoids content and the antioxidant activity of flour made from whole g...
