This study investigated the design of novel pasta enriched with different forms of wild garlic (WG): a powder, an extract and an encapsulated extract applied at three enrichment levels (low/middle/high). The effect of cooking on changes in the content of bioactive compounds, antioxidative activity, cooking behaviour, texture, colour and sensory properties of the cooked pasta was evaluated. WG preparations significantly increased the antioxidant potential (by 185-600%) as well as the content of phenolics (by 26-146%), flavonoids (by 40-360%) and potassium (up to three-fold) in the cooked pasta, depending on WG type and enrichment level. Flavonoids were dominantly present in the free form. Cooking resulted in a significant loss of flavonoids (39-75%) whereas phenolics were liberated from the matrix. The highest increase in total phenolics and antioxidant activity was exerted by the WG powder and extract. Pasta hardness and adhesiveness were increased, but encapsulated WG deteriorated cooking behaviour. The best-scored enriched pasta regarding sensory quality and texture was that enriched with WG powder at the low/moderate level.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the addition of wild garlic leaves on the sensory quality, volatiles, color, and texture of sheep milk soft rennet-curd cheese. The sensory evaluation of color, appearance, texture, odor, and taste was performed using a 5-point scale. The intensity of selected taste and odor discriminants was also assessed.

Despite the growing interest in using natural compounds for disease prevention and treatment, (wild garlic), known for its therapeutic properties, has not been extensively studied for its chemical composition and biological activities. Therefore, this study aims to explore the in vitro antioxidant, antibacterial, and antitumor activities of extracts according to their functional phytochemical profile, while assessing whether ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) enhances bioactive properties in comparison to conventional maceration (CM). Both extracts were characterized by spectrophotometric methods and LC-ESI+-MS.

Genome-wide analysis of the HSF family in Allium sativum L. and AsHSFB1 overexpression in Arabidopsis under heat stress.

Article Synopsis
  • The heat shock transcription factor (HSF) family in plants is key for responding to stressors like heat, salt, and drought, and researchers identified 22 HSFs in garlic using transcriptome data.
  • Through bioinformatics, three subfamilies of HSFs were characterized, and RT-qPCR revealed varying responses of nine selected genes to heat stress.
  • The isolated HSF gene AsHSFB1, when overexpressed in Arabidopsis thaliana, led to poorer stress resistance compared to wild-type plants, indicating its potential negative regulatory role in garlic’s response to high stress.

Article Synopsis
  • * Despite holding relatively high genetic diversity, certain populations show inbreeding and harmful mutations due to recent breeding and habitat loss, leading to their endangered status.
  • * The study emphasizes the need for targeted conservation strategies based on genomic data and ecological modeling to address the anticipated habitat loss due to climate change by 2100.
