Epiphitic Microbiome of Alvarinho Wine Grapes from Different Geographic Regions in Portugal.

Geographic location and, particularly, soil and climate exert influence on the typicality of a wine from a specific region, which is often justified by the , and these factors also influence the epiphytic flora associated with the surface of the grape berries. In the present study, the microbiome associated with the surface of berries obtained from ten vineyards of the variety located in different geographical locations in mainland Portugal was determined and analyzed. The removal of microbial flora from the surface of the berries was carried out by washing and sonication, after which the extraction and purification of the respective DNA was carried out.

Chemical Composition of the "Galo de Barcelos" (Barcelos Rooster Raw Meat).

Ten roosters produced according to "Barcelos Confraria" rules and ten roosters of autochthonous "Amarela" breed, reared on a similar traditional production system, were analyzed, and the chemical profile of two of the most significant meat portions, breast and drumstick, was determined. The results demonstrated that the "Barcelos" rooster raw meat is rich in proteins (22.3%) and fat (4.
