Isolation of the volatile concentrate from dried leaves of Seseli bocconi Guss. subsp. praecox Gamisans were obtained by supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) with carbon dioxide. Leaves from different zones of Sardinia (Italy) were collected and treated. Compositions of samples were analyzed by GC-MS. The volatile concentrate of S. bocconi from Buggerru was found to contain: himachalol (16.4%), sabinene (14.8%), beta-phellandrene (8.1%), cis-sabinene hydrate (4.5%). beta-Phellandrene (29.2%), undecane (9.6%), alpha-pinene (6.1%) and beta-guaiene (5.7%) were the main constituents of the volatile extract of S. bocconi from Carloforte. The volatile concentrate of S. bocconi of Ogliastra inland, was composed chiefly by alpha-humulene (17.7%), gamma-himachalene (9.3%), beta-phellandrene (8.0) and bicyclogermacrene (7.7%). The yields of extraction were in the range (0.13-0.60%). A comparison with the hydrodistilled oil revealed in each case a remarkable difference in composition.

The objective of this study was to examine the impact of black soldier fly larval oil (BSFO) on feed consumption, nutritional digestibility, ruminal characteristics and methane (CH) estimation in Thai-indigenous steers. Four male Thai native steers (Bos indicus) weighing 383 ± 9.0 kg were used in this investigation.

Ecosystems and environments are impacted by atmospheric pollution, which has significant effects on human health and climate. For these reasons, devices for developing portable and low-cost monitoring systems are required to assess human exposure during daily life. In the last decade, the advancements of 3D printing technology have pushed researchers to exploit, in different fields of applications, the advantages offered, such as rapid prototyping and low-cost replication of complex sample treatment devices.

Background/objectives: Crohn's disease is known for being associated with an abnormal composition of the bacterial flora, dysbiosis and intestinal function disorders. Metabolites produced by gut microbiota play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of CD, and the presence of unspecific extraintestinal manifestations.
Methods: The aim of this study was a determination of the level of bacterial metabolites in blood plasma in patients with Crohn's disease.

This study aimed to investigate the nutritional value and potential for herbal tea production of two species . The analysis includes the quantification of lipids, proteins, organic acids (HPLC-MS), sugars (HPLC-MS), phenolic compounds (HPLC-MS-MS), volatile compounds (GC-MS), fatty acids (GC-MS), amino acids (HPLC-MS-MS), some minerals (ICP-MS), total phenolic content, and antioxidant activities of flowers (EBF) and thorns (EBT), as well as flowers (EPF) and thorns (EPT). The results indicate that EPF and EPT exhibit elevated levels of protein (11.

The development of plant-based meat substitutes is imperative for reducing animal fat intake and promoting dietary diversification. However, the flavor profiles of these products frequently fall short of consumer expectations. This study sought to optimize the production process of meat flavorings for plant-based products using the Taguchi method.
