Volatile terpene fingerprinting for pine nut authentication
No full textTFG Premi Càtedra UB-DANONE 2024. Universitat de Barcelona, Facultat de Farmàcia i Ciències de l'Alimentació, Campus de l'Alimentació de Torribera / DANONE. Tutor: Stefania Vichi[eng] Pine nuts are highly valued products on the market, with 20 species being the most commercially significant both globally and locally. Among these, Mediterranean pine nuts (Pinus pinea) are the most highly valuated, reaching prices up to 100€/Kg, in contrast with other species sold at much lower prices (Chinese and Russian pine nuts). The high prices added to the lack of fast and low-cost analytical methods to assess the authenticity in routine analysis make pine nuts highly vulnerable to fraudulent practices. This study proposes a reliable method for pine nuts geographical and botanical origin authentication. The volatile and semi-volatile terpene hydrocarbon fingerprint of a set of 245 pine nuts from different origins (Spain, China, and Russia) and different species was analysed by HS-SPME-GC-MS. PLS-DA models were built to differentiate between Iberian and non-Iberian samples and between production regions on Pinus pinea samples, with satisfactory clustering on all categories based on their respective PLS-DA score plots. Both models were internally and externally validated, achieving correct classification values of 100% and over 96% respectively, ensuring that model predictions are reliable. Hence, this method has proved to be a suitable option for pine nut authentication on industry routine analysis supporting official controls
Stereospecific distribution of fatty acids in triacylglycerols of olive oils
No full textThe positional distribution of fatty acids (FA) in triacylglycerols (TAG) of 47 virgin olive oils from diverse cultivars grown in distinct areas of North-Eastern Italy was studied. Few data were previously available on oils from these geographical areas. The effects of climatic and geographical conditions on the stereospecific distribution of TAG in olive oil were confirmed. Moreover, the results of the stereospecific analysis were used to evaluate the preferential esterification position of each FA on the basis of the degree of unsaturation and the chain length. The data of the stereospecific analysis of olive oil TAG can contribute to the determination of the selectivity of olive fruit acyltransferases for distinct FA

Efecte dels processos culinaris sobre els compostos bioactius de l’oli d’oliva
No full textTreballs Finals de Grau de Nutrició Humana i Dietètica, Facultat de Farmàcia i Ciències de l'Alimentació, Campus de l'Alimentació de Torribera, Universitat de Barcelona. Curs: 2018-2019. Tutora: Stefania Vichi[cat] L’oli d’oliva és un aliment bàsic de la dieta Mediterrània, conegut per els seus efectes
beneficiosos per a la salut. L’oli d’oliva verge, al no patir un procés de refinació, conté una
gran quantitat de compostos bioactius, que són els que li proporcionen un seguit d’efectes
beneficiosos, sent més rellevants a nivell nutricional.
Aquests efectes però, es veuen qüestionats quan aquest oli pateix algun procés tèrmic.
L’objectiu principal d’aquest treball és oferir una revisió acurada d’estudis publicats sobre
l’avaluació de l’efecte que té fregir, bullir i coure/escalfar al microones oli d’oliva verge, per
tal de valorar com afecta aquest tractament els compostos bioactius presents i per tant, la
qualitat nutricional de l’oli. Els resultats mostren que hi ha una disminució de gairebé tots els
compostos, sent els compostos fenòlics i l’a-tocoferol els més afectats. Per altra banda, els
fitosterols i els àcids triterpènics es mostren estables a qualsevol temperatura i procés de
cocció. Per contra, la proporció d’àcid oleic incrementa lleugerament en alguns casos durant
la fregida, a causa de la disminució dels àcids grassos poliinsaturats presents a l’oli.
Així doncs, els tres tipus de coccions afecten a nivell nutricional, disminuint la major part dels
compostos bioactius i per tant, reduint l’efecte beneficiós d’aquest oli pel consumidor,
sobretot quan es realitzen a major temperatura i major temps d’exposició.[eng] Olive oil is a basic food of the Mediterranean diet, well-known for its health beneficial effects.
Virgin olive oil, that have not been subjected to refining process, contains a lot of bioactive
compounds, which are those that provide a range of beneficial effects, being more relevant
to nutritional level.
However, there is still some doubt about those beneficial effects when this oil suffers some
thermal process. The aim of this work is to offer an accurate review of published studies on
the evaluation of the effect of frying, boiling and microwave in the virgin olive oil, in order to
evaluate how this treatment affects the compounds and therefore the nutritional quality of
oil. The results show that there is a decrease of almost all the components, being polyphenols
and a-tocopherol the most affected. On the other hand, phytosterols and triterpenic acids
shows stability at any temperature and cooking process. In contrast, the proportion of oleic
acid increases in some cases during frying, due to the reduction of polyunsaturated fatty acids
present in the oil. Therefore, these three cooking practices affect the nutritional qualities by
decreasing most of the bioactive compounds and therefore reducing the beneficial effect of
this oil by the consumer, especially when performed at higher temperature and exposure
time

A Human Rights Approach to Environmental Health
No full textThis chapter explores the interface between health and the environment through the human rights prism, focusing on the environmental dimension of the right to health and on the now widely recognized right to a healthy, safe and clean environment. To this end, the chapter intends to offers a comprehensive analysis of the relevant provisions contained in human rights treaties and the obligations stemming therefrom. The review of these legal sources is completed by a critical assessment of the case law produced by regional human rights bodies and their evolutive interpretation of individual rights and corresponding State obligations in this field, with a special focus on the case law of the European Court of Human Rights. The aim of this legal analysis is to evaluate the added value of a human rights approach to environmental health litigation, with a view to best achieving the overarching goal of public health protection from environmental harm. The author highlights that human rights can be used in court as effective tools to protect public health against the adverse effects of environmental degradation and severe pollution. She also stresses that the potential of human rights bodies in the field of environmental health is yet fully unexpressed, but further positive developments towards the protection of collective and intergenerational rights related to the environment and human health can be achieved thanks to the dynamic and evolutive approach adopted by these bodies and through the virtuous circle created by judicial cross-fertilization
A Multitude of Women: The Challenges of the Contemporary Italian Novel
No full textA Multitude of Women looks at the ways in which both Italian literary tradition and external influences have assisted Italian women writers in rethinking the theoretical and aesthetic ties between author, text, and readership in the construction of the novel. Stefania Lucamante discusses the valuable contributions that Italian women writers have made to the contemporary novel and illustrates the relevance of the novelistic examples set by their predecessors. She addresses various discursive communities, reading works by Di Lascia, Ferrante, Vinci, and others with reference to intertextuality and the theories of Elsa Morante and Simone de Beauvoir.
This study identifies a positive deviation from literary and ideological orthodoxy, a deviation that helps give meaning to the Italian novel and to transform the traditional notion of the canon in Italian literature. Lucamante argues that this is partly due to the merits of women writers and their ability to eschew obsolete patterns in narrative while favoring forms that are more attuned to the ever-changing needs of society. She shows that contemporary novels by women authors mirror a shift from previous trends in which the need for female emancipation interfered with the actual literary and aesthetic significance of the novel. A Multitude of Women offers a new epistemology of the novel and will appeal to those interested in women's writing, readership, Italian studies, and literary studies in general
