Research Background: Virgin olive oil, known as a good source of health-promoting hydrophilic phenols, is traditionally used as a medium for preserving various foods. Phenols in general can form complexes with proteins, but there is little information on the direct contact of virgin olive oil with protein-rich food during long-term storage. In this study, the dynamics of the decline of total phenols in oil used as preservation medium for a traditional (whey cheese skuta) and a modern product (tofu) were compared.

This research elaborates the process of enriching table eggs with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) and presents the effect of such enriched eggs on human health. The experiment was performed on 480 TETRA SL laying hens divided into three groups. Feeding mixtures contained 5% of oils (K = soybean oil, P1 = 3.

In order to investigate the relationship between the occurrence of the "grubby" sensory defect caused by olive fruit fly ( (Rossi)) infestation and the resulting volatile composition, virgin olive oils were extracted from olives of the Leccino cultivar with 0%, 50%, and 100% olive fly infestations and subjected to analysis of the basic chemical quality parameters, fatty acids and volatiles, and sensory analysis by the Panel test. A 100% olive fly infestation reduced the basic chemical quality of the oil, while the fatty acid composition was not affected in any case. The overall sensory quality score and intensity of the positive sensory attributes decreased, while the intensity of the "grubby" defect increased proportionally to the degree of infestation.

PIN-FORMED (PIN) and PIN-LIKES (PILS) are two families of auxin transporters that control the directional cell-to-cell transport and intracellular accumulation of auxin, thereby influencing plant growth and development. Most knowledge of PINs and PILSs was obtained from the dicot model plant . Here, we focus on the distribution and expression of the and gene families in areca palm (), a monocot tree.

Neurological diseases such as stroke and multiple sclerosis are associated with high morbidity and mortality, long-term disability, and social and economic burden. Therefore, they represent a major challenge for medical treatment. Numerous evidences support the beneficial effects of polyphenols from olive trees, which can alleviate or even prevent demyelination, neurodegeneration, cerebrovascular diseases, and stroke.
