In recent years, with the interest in healthy diet and environmental protection, plant-based alternatives, to classic milk, have been developed and produced. In addition to the already well-known products, such as almond or soy milk, amaranth milk is also becoming increasingly known. Amaranth milk is considered a possible alternative with both nutritional and ecological benefits. As a result of environmental problems and people's needs, this paper aims to compare these types of plant-based beverages, in terms of c...

The indicator of the quality of edible oils is its oxidative stability. The oxidative reactions can be influenced by several factors (light, heat, oxygen reaction with unsaturated lipids) and by chemical and enzymatic mechanisms (autoxidation, photooxidation and lipoxygenases). These factors can accelerate lipid oxidation, decrease oxidative stability and cause significant modification on sensory properties, what lead to nutritional depreciation of edible oil and decrease in the shelf life. The aims of this study ...
