Honey is rich in glucose and fructose, making it a quick source of energy. Honey has antimicrobial properties, can help digestion, has a probiotic effect, can soothe digestive irritations, is often used as a natural remedy for coughs and sore throats, having a soothing and antibacterial effect, contains antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals in the body. Polyfloral honey is produced by bees from the nectar of several species of flowers, hence the name "polyflora". The physicochemical analyses carried out ...

Traditional production is more sustainable through local efficiency, meat and spices often come from local farms or markets, reducing the carbon footprint associated with transport, respect for resources and cultural diversity, while industrial methods are oriented towards volume, uniformity and profit, often with higher ecological costs. Traditional pork sausages are prized for their unique flavors and textures, making them a staple in the Romanian tradition. The process of preparing traditional pork sausage has ...

The main aim of the paper was to obtain a chicken meat pate in which different proportions of goji berries were added in order to increase its functionality and protect it against lipid oxidation. The biofunctional properties of goji berries were initially evaluated by determining total polyphenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and total antioxidant activity using the DPPH method. The values obtained allowed estimation of the amount of goji fruit that could successfully replace the synthetic antioxid...

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the role played by different wastewater treatment technologies in the dairy industry in the context of the challenges of sustainable development: water scarcity and conservation of water resources, the constant growth of the population and the costs of wastewater treatment in centralized systems, increasing constraints and stricter environmental protection regulations. In this sense, the efficiency of wastewater treatment plants belonging to a number of 8 factories was ...

The purpose of the research paper was to study the sensorial and physic-chemical characteristics of the `Carpinet` pie produced as a traditional ecological food product in a Romanian village, in the West part of the country. The technological production process of the `Carpinet` pie followed a traditional receipt known as a local bakery product. All the raw materials and ingredients used in the technological process according to the traditional receipt had organic origin as ecological ingredients. The sensory exam...

The researches presented in this paper aim to study the production technology of traditional ecologic meat products sausage type and their physic-chemical and sensorial characterization. The studied meat products sausage type were the traditional пїЅVirsliпїЅ produced in the Romanian village Pui by local producers. The first part of the researches involved the production technology, using organic raw materials and ingredients. Also the production technology followed a traditional recipe used only in this region / ...

Developing products modified structurally and functionally that ensure health benefits is relatively recent and is the result of accepting the idea that food plays an important role in the prevention and therapy of some health conditions; these arguments are at the basis of the appearance of пїЅfunctional foodsпїЅ with пїЅhealth benefitsпїЅ. Modification techniques of non hydrogenated palm oil lipids (simple mixing, hydrogenation, interesterification, fractionation) are no novelty since they are being optimised th...

Polysorbates as hydrophilic surface-active structures are food additives with multifunctional competences (emulsifiers, aerating, wetting, foaming, stabilizing agents) and wide HLB range. The present paper has proposed to know the details of the successive transesterification of 2,5 пїЅ diacetyl пїЅ isosorbide (2,5- Ac2ISB) with hydrocarbon chains (Ra) by successive introducing the different amounts of fatty acids obtained from the vegetal lipid fractions isolated from sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum) and chilli pep...
