Preserving the aromatic profile of aged Toma Piemontese Protected Designation of Origin cheese with gaseous ozone technology: A quality assessment via solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry/electronic nose.

The efficacy of low gaseous ozone concentrations-300 and 400 ppb (0.642 mg/m and 0.856 mg/m, respectively)-in controlling spoilage microflora and preserving the quality of the aged Toma Piemontese Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) cheese was explored.

LVI and DI-SPME Combined with GC/MS and GC/MS for Volatile Chemical Profile Investigation and Cytotoxic Power Evaluation of Essential Oil and Hydrolate from L. cv. Carmagnola.

L. is a plant that has been cultivated since ancient times thanks to its various uses. Even its extraction products, such as essential oil and hydrolate, having a varied chemical composition and rich in bioactive components, find wide use in different sectors, gathering ever-increasing interest over time.

Effects of ground transport on the presence of heavy metals in selected honeybee products.

Honeybees are insects very sensitive to environmental pollution and at the same time very good indicators of the pollution levels for certain types of pollutants. The morphology and ethology of these insects make them perfect vectors for dust and substances, including heavy metals produced by anthropic activities or naturally generated and deposited on foraged flora. When bees are raised to produce foods such as honey and pollen, they can easily transfer pollutants collected from contaminated flower affecting the quality of these products.

L. var. L. Landrace "Carciofo Ortano" as a Source of Bioactive Compounds.

The preservation of agricultural biodiversity and socioeconomic development are relevant both to enhance domestic production and to support innovation. In the search for new biomolecules, we have focused on the "Carciofo Ortano" landrace, growth in the northern part of the Lazio region. Artichoke cultivation generates substantial by-products, including leaves, stems, and roots, which could serve as valuable sources of biomolecules and prebiotic dietary fiber.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Use of Antidepressants by Young Adults in the ASL TO4 Regione Piemonte (Italy).

The association between younger age and poorer mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic has been documented. Whether these changes were associated with a change in antidepressant (AD) use is not well understood. This study aimed to estimate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on AD use by young adults in the ASL TO4 Regione Piemonte (Italy).
