Sensory and physico-chemical characteristics of a new assortment of cheese obtained in the milk and milk products micro production workshop within I.U.L.S.
No full textAs more and more people place a high value on their health and well-being, taking into consideration all of the variables
that contribute to it, the food business sector has been forced to enhance its goods, as the food diet plays an extremely
significant part. By examining the chemical makeup of the food they consume, today's customers are paying more
attention to product ethics. Additionally, sectoral considerations play a major part in the procurement of food, with the
food being purchased only after doing a much more thorough study.Cheeses play a significant part in the diets of
consumers, since they are a commodity that is extensively consumed both internationally and in our own country. For
many years, producers have defined cheese quality as cheese that is made consistently and inexpensively. Consumers
had fewer options in the past, and as a result of this limited experience, their palates were less discriminating. Today's
cheese markets are global, and cheesemakers compete openly for customers, providing them with a growing variety of
options. Cheese consumers are more affluent, and many have sampled or consumed a variety of cheeses regularly,
making them more discriminating. These customers are now defining the cheese quality standard, which is ultimately
established by eating quality. In our country, over time, many different types of cheese have appeared, but telemeau
stands out among them due to a variety of characteristics, and because it is considered a traditional product. Even while
the vast majority of telemea variants now available on the market are produced using a standard technology (SR
1981/2008), the primary goal of this study was to create a new assortment of cheese, which was called "A type of
Telemea cheese". To emphasize the qualitative parameters, sensory analyzes were performed (appearance, consistency,
color, odor, and taste), and physicochemical determinations were also performed (water content %, dry matter %, fat
relative to dry matter %, protein substances %, sodium chloride % and acidity °T), values that were compared with
those specific to Telemea made of fresh cow's milk (quality I)
The influence of fertilization and distance between rows on seed production of sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.), in the first year of vegetation
No full textThe research conducted during the period of March to October 2019, at the Meadows Research and Development
Station, Vaslui (46°40'-36°10' north latitude and 27°44'-20°40' east longitude) followed the influence of fertilization
and the distance between rows on the seeds production (kg·ha-1
), seeds 1000 grains mass (g) and seeds germination (%),
at sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) seeds culture, in the first year of vegetation. The organized experience was
bifactorial, 3x5 type, placed according to the method of subdivided plots, with the plot harvestable area of 13.5 m2
(1.5
m x 9 m), in three replications, and the factors studied were: A - the distance between rows with three graduations (a1 -
25 cm, a2 - 37.5 cm and a3 - 50 cm) and B - fertilization with five graduations (b1 - unfertilized, b2 - N50P50, b3 - N50P50K50,
b4 - N100P100K100 and b5 - cow manure 20 Mg·ha-1
). Following the study, it was found that by applying mineral or
organic fertilizers higher quantities of seeds were obtained, with higher values of 1000 grains mass and germination and
by sowing at longer distances between rows smaller quantities of seeds were obtained with higher values of 1000 grains
mass and germination
Research regarding optimization of the working process for fertilization and drip irrigation of vegetable crops
No full textManaging yield and yield attributes of triticale in a deficit irrigation system with methanol foliar application
No full textTriticale is mainly grown
for feed grain and biomass production for
thatching straw and general human use.
A combined analysis with a factorial
layout in the two years of 2016 and 2017
with five replications was used to evaluate
the yield and yield components of triticale
under different methanol concentrations
and irrigation managements in Isfahan,
Iran. Irrigation treatments consisted of
irrigation on the basis of 70%, 80%, 90%
and 100% crop water requirements, and
methanol treatments as foliar application
on the basis of 15% methanol
concentration, 30% methanol
concentration and control treatment (0%).
Methanol application influence on one
hundred grain weight was significant.
The maximum plant height, number of
tillers, Leaf area index (LAI), leaf area
duration (LAD), one hundred grain
weight, grain yield, biological yield,
harvest index and protein content were
achieved in irrigation on the basis of
100% crop water requirement. The
maximum plant height, number of tillers,
LAI, LAD, one hundred grain weight,
grain yield, biological yield, harvest index
and protein were obtained in 2017. Foliar
methanol application with 15%
concentration obtained the maximum
plant height, LAI, LAD, one hundred
grain weight, biological yield, soil plant
analytical development (SPAD) and
protein percentage. The results of this
experiment suggest that methanol can aid
in alleviating the effects of drought stress
on triticale in the climatic condition of
Isfahan. It is concluded that triticale
cultivars performed better in 2017, with
15% concentration of methanol
application and irrigation on the basis of
100% crop water requirement
An update on antifungal activity of essential oils against Malassezia pachydermatis
Get PDFIn recent years, the lipophilic yeast Malassezia pachydermatis is considered to be the most significant opportunistic
pathogen associated with dermatitis and otitis externa in veterinary medicine. At the same time, various findings have
shown the capacity of clinical isolates to acquire azole-resistance, therefore the development of new alternative
treatment strategies are highly demanded. In the last decade, plant-based antimicrobials have known a resurrection, and
special attention was given to essential oils (EOs). EOs are complex mixtures of small lipophilic molecules, of which
one up to three compounds constitute the main phytochemical markers. EOs arose as candidates for the alternative
treatment of Malassezia-related diseases. This review highlights the antifungal potential of EOs and their bioactive
compounds against M. pachydermatis based on literature reports (in vitro and in vivo retrospective studies). A search
was conducted using three databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar), and all relevant articles from the
period 2015-2021 were extracted. The findings showed most of EOs had significant antifungal activity against M.
pachydermatis, especially through bioactive compounds such as monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, on their own or by
synergism with conventional antifungal drugs or other compounds, such as fluconazole and Tween 80. EOs with
promising antifungal activity against M. pachydermatis include winter savory, lemongrass, oregano, cinnamon and
oregano. The review emphasizes the importance of Eos as novel antifungal agents. EOs could be considered as an
alternative to conventional antifungals, as they act concurrently towards different fungal targets due to their
multicomponent nature
Survey of dog and cat anesthesia in University Veterinay Hospital Professor Alin Bîrțoiu
No full textThe aim of this study is the survey of current anesthesia cases and outcomes for dogs and cats in the University Veterinary
Hospital Professor Alin Bîrțoiu, Bucharest, during 12 months, in order to improve anesthesia safety and education.
Electronic medical records for patients were examined and 944 cases of dogs and cats that underwent general anesthesia
(including sedation) assigned for ASA I-V risk classes, including emergencies were selected. The total mortality rates
considered anesthetic-related death in dogs and cats (deaths in the first 48 hours attributable to anesthesia) were
respectively 0.29% for dogs and 0.76 % for cats. The species, rase, sex and age structure of the case log were analyzed
according to the type of the technique (injectable 12% or inhalation 88%). All the cases were preanesthetic evaluated and
monitored during anesthesia and recovery

No full textAnalysis of community implications on agriculture in the North-east region
Get PDFThe aim of the research was the diagnostic analysis of the results obtained by agricultural farms and the impact of
European funds in the context of integration into the European Union. It is found that, after Romania's accession to the
European Union, the possibilities for the development of agricultural farms have increased, as a result of their
advantage of accessing European funds, with a fairly large share of their non-reimbursement. In this context, the
research started from the economic-financial analysis of the situation of agriculture in the North-East Development
Region, according to which to proceed to adopt measures that will lead, first of all, to the increase of agricultural
production and, in secondly, to make it more efficient by attracting European funds. This paper aims to provide viable
tools for assessing the implications of Community support mechanisms at regional and farm level by delimiting the set
of indicators needed and the methods needed to quantify this influence. The results obtained will be the basis for
understanding how the Community financial support influences the development of agricultural holdings and will
allow the identification of how the support needs to be oriented so as to lead to the long-term development of
Romanian agriculture. In order to meet the purpose mentioned in this paper, we aimed to: evaluate the evolution of
agriculture and community allocations in the macro and micro economic context; evaluation of income sources for
estimating the influence of subsidy through Pillar I; evaluation at the level of case studies of the activity of agricultural
holdings that have accessed funds through Pillar II by highlighting the evolution of their activity and evaluation of the
technical and scale efficiency of agricultural holdings taken as a case study in the context of accessed funds
Evaluarea efectelor nanoparticulelor de aur în chitosan asupra plantelor de zambile
Get PDFIn the research on the influence of nanoparticles on plants, it is important to identify both the optimal concentrations of nanoparticles and the growing stage in which the plant is sensitive to a certain type of treatment. The study on the influence of nanoparticles on hyacinth bulbs was carried out in an experiment in which 4 treatment variants were used simultaneously, each variant having 3 repetitions. Two solutions with different concentrations of gold nanoparticles in chitosan (25 and 50 μg/mL) were used as treatment, and the samples in which either a chitosan solution or water was administered were considered as controls. To each hyacinth bulb, 2 ml of a certain solution was applied. Thus, the aim was to improve the sprouting of hyacinth bulbs and of biometric indicators such as hyacinth height, number of leaves and percentage of flowering. It has been observed that the nanoparticle treatments act differently depending on the growing stage of the plant. From the analysis of the results we can state that the treatment with gold nanoparticles in a concentration of 50 μg/mL is good for stimulating the plant growth, but it is not effective in their development, the most suitable solution as a treatment being that of gold nanoparticles in a concentration of 25 μg/mL
Analiza genetică a unor genotipuri de tomate (Solanum lycopersicum L.) utilizând sistemele de markeri TBP și SCoT
Get PDFEconomically, the cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L). is one of the most important vegetables grown and consumed for its fruit all over the world. Majority of commercial cultivars of the tomato have been developed through phenotypic selection and can be easily confused because have similar morphological traits. Therefore, it is necessary to create fast, sensitive, and reliable methods for the tomato commercial cultivars authentication. Intended for that, in this study, were evaluated nine tomato cultivars (Kristinica, Florina, Andrada, Buzău-1600, Buzău-47, Argeș-11, Argeș-20, Ștefănești-24 and Ștefănești-22) at molecular level with two markers systems: TBP (tubulin-based polymorphism) that relies on the presence of intron-specific DNA polymorphisms of the plant β-tubulin gene family and six start codon-targeted (SCoT) markers. TBP analyzes, for beta tubulin gene, was performed for the both introns. The results showed identical electrophoretic profiles, consequently, no polymorphism was observed at the genotypes analyzed. Molecular assay with SCoT markers (SCoT2, SCoT13, SCoT16, SCoT20, SCoT24 and SCoT28) revealed a low level of polymorphism, although, SCoT markers generated between 7 bands (SCoT28) and 12 bands (SCoT24), polymorphic bands were obtained only with SCoT13 and SCoT28. A distinct PCR product of 600 bp was identified at cultivar Ștefănești -24 with SCoT 13 and with the marker -SCoT28 a distinct product of 1100 bp was observed at the genotypes: Andrada, Buzău- 1600 and Buzău- 47. These results open perspectives for tomato commercial cultivars authentication
