    Fatty acid composition of Piedmont "Ossolano" cheese

    International audienceFatty acid composition of 66 samples of "Ossolano", a typical semi-hard cheese produced from raw cow milk in the Ossola valley (North Piedmont, West Italy) was determined. The survey was carried out on 24 summer cheeses produced in mountain farms (1500-2200 m) with milk from pasture-fed cows and 42 winter cheeses produced in valley farms (500-800 m) with milk from hay- and concentrate-fed cows. Seasonal variation in feeding condition was responsible for the observed variations in fatty acid composition of the samples. Long-chain mono- and poly-unsaturated fatty acids were more abundant in the summer cheeses while short- and medium-chain saturated fatty acids were higher in winter products. The ratio of saturated to unsaturated fatty acids was thus lower in summer cheeses compared with winter cheeses. Conjugated linoleic acids, n-3 and n-6 acids were instead higher in summer cheeses according to the results of many authors. The n-6/n-3 ratio is lower in the summer products with an interesting nutritional effect due to the essential role of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid in human health.Composition en acides gras du fromage " Ossolano " du Piémont. La composition en acides gras a été déterminée dans 66 échantillons d'" Ossolano ", un fromage à pâte semi-dure qui est produit à partir du lait cru dans la vallée de l'Ossola (Piémont du Nord, Italie). Vingt-quatre de ces fromages ont été fabriqués en été à partir de laits produits sur des pâturages de montagne (1500-2200 m) et quarante-deux en hiver à partir de laits produits dans la vallée (500-800 m) avec une alimentation à base de foin et de céréales. Le changement dans l'alimentation a déterminé le changement de la composition en acides gras des fromages. La proportion en acides gras à chaîne longue mono- et poly-insaturés était significativement plus élevée dans les fromages d'été, alors que celle des acides gras saturés à chaîne courte et moyenne était plus élevée dans les fromages d'hiver. Par conséquent le rapport entre les acides saturés et acides insaturés était plus petit dans les fromages d'été que dans les fromages d'hiver. Les CLA et les acides n-3 et n-6 sont plus élevés dans les fromages produits en été comme de nombreux auteurs l'ont déjà souligné. Le rapport n-6/n-3 est plus petit pour les fromages produits en été, ce qui entraîne un effet nutritionnel intéressant grâce au rôle essentiel des acides gras poly-insaturés n-3 dans l'alimentation humaine

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Get PDF
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Use of Untargeted Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Metabolome to Discriminate Italian Monovarietal Red Wines, Produced in Their Different Terroirs

    The aim of this project was to register, in a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based untargeted single-batch analysis, the metabolome of 11 single-cultivar, single-vintage Italian red wines (Aglianico, Cannonau, Corvina, Montepulciano, Nebbiolo, Nerello, Primitivo, Raboso, Sagrantino, Sangiovese, and Teroldego) from 12 regions across Italy, each one produced in their terroirs under ad hoc legal frameworks to guarantee their quality and origin. The data provided indications regarding the similarity between the cultivars and highlighted a rich list of putative biomarkers of origin wines (pBOWs) characterizing each individual cultivar-terroir combination, where Primitivo, Teroldego, and Nebbiolo had the maximum number of unique pBOWs. The pBOWs included anthocyanins (Teroldego), flavanols (Aglianico, Sangiovese, Nerello, and Nebbiolo), amino acids and N-containing metabolites (Primitivo), hydroxycinnamates (Cannonau), and flavonols (Sangiovese). The raw data generated in this study are publicly available and, therefore, accessible and reusable as a baseline data set for future investigations

    Impact of different advanced ripening stages on berry texture properties of ‘Red Globe’ and ‘Crimson Seedless’ table grape cultivars (Vitis vinifera L.).

    Abstract. The impact of different ripening stages on berry texture properties of sorted ‘Red Globe’ and ‘Crimson Seedless’ table grapes was evaluated. Density sorting at different harvest dates was utilised to obtain homogeneous samples for each ripening stage. At the same ripening stage, ‘Red Globe’ berries were more firm, cohesive, springy, chewy and resilient but less hard and gummy than ‘Crimson Seedless’. Particularly for cv. Red Globe, the choice of the ripening stage at harvest could be a determinant for the berry quality because riper berries were associated with higher skin thickness values (+25%). The berry hardness and gumminess of ‘Crimson Seedless’ decreased significantly during ripening (−50%), and these parameters were most influenced by the berry size. Conversely, berry cohesiveness can be used as a ripeness predictor of table grapes because the changes during the ripening process were independent of berry size. The peduncle detachment resistance of the berry in the Crimson Seedless grapes decreased to values lower than 3.4 N, negatively affecting the quality attributes of the berry
