The aim of this work was to determine, comparatively, the content of vitamin C (by iodometric method), polyphenols (by Folin CiocпїЅlteu assay), chlorophyll pigments, carotenes, xanthophylls (by spectrophotometric method) and the antioxidant activity (by CUPRAC method) for some frozen vegetables on the Romanian market: okra (Abelmoschus esculentus), green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris)- Serengeti variety and green peas (Pisum sativum) пїЅ Alaska variety. Frozen peas was the most rich in ascorbic acid (9.32 mg/100g) an...

Nasal cheese is a smear ripened traditional Romanian cheese produced in a natural cave near Taga commune, Cluj County. The effect of varying heat treatments (65 or 80 пїЅC for 20 and 5 minutes respectively) and salting methods (dry or brine salting) on bacterial viability and biochemical properties in Nasal cheese were investigated. Brevibacterium linens, a corynebacterium produce a characteristic "sulphur" aroma associated with such cheese. Therefore, this study also investigated the profile of volatile compounds...

The main goal of our paper was to determine the consequences of selenium intake (0.2 ppm as selenium selenite) on mineral profile of some broiler chicken (Ross) tissues/organs. Scarcity of studies on reference ranges for various minerals in different tissues was the secondary reason of our study. Our results highlighted significant variations on minerals content from studied samples: blood пїЅ Cu, Mn, Fe; faeces пїЅ Cu, Mn, Fe, Mg; muscular stomach пїЅ Fe, Zn, Ca; liver пїЅ Fe, Mg, Ca, Na; kidney пїЅ Cu, Mg, Ca, N...
