Multitarget Phytocomplex: Focus on Antibacterial Profiles of Grape Pomace and L. Lyophilisates Against Extensively Drug-Resistant (XDR) Bacteria and In Vitro Antioxidative Power.

This study was conceived with the aim of translating the experience and knowledge of the research group into the design and creation of multi-active phytocomplex cocktails from lyophilised winery by-products (Grape Pomace-GP) and weeds ( L., Dwarf Elder-DE). Quantification of bioactive molecules was performed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method.

Contemporary Speculations and Insightful Thoughts on Buckwheat-A Functional Pseudocereal as a Smart Biologically Active Supplement.

Today, food scientists are interested in more rational use of crops that possess desirable nutritional properties, and buckwheat is one of the functional pseudocereals that represents a rich source of bioactive compounds (BACs) and nutrients, phytochemicals, antimicrobial (AM) agents and antioxidants (AOs), which can be effectively applied in the prevention of malnutrition and celiac disease and treatment of various important health problems. There is ample evidence of the high potential of buckwheat consumption in various forms (food, dietary supplements, home remedies or alone, or in synergy with pharmaceutical drugs) with concrete benefits for human health. Contamination as well as other side-effects of all the aforementioned forms for application in different ways in humans must be seriously considered.

Techno-Functional Properties of Burgers Fortified by Wild Garlic Extract: A Reconsideration.

The aim of this research was to examine the chemical properties of freshly squeezed wild garlic extract (FSWGE) and its use as an additive in burgers (BU). Technological and sensory properties of such fortified burgers (BU) were determined. LC-MS/MS analyses identified thirty-eight volatile BAC.
