The aim of this research was to improve the physical-chemical properties and processability wheat durum pasta while adding supplementary nutritional benefits. This accomplished by incorporating carob powder into conventional recipe. study investigated made with different proportions (2%, 4%, 6% w/w) evaluated its profile, texture, dough rheological content bioactive compounds such as phenolic c...

The aim of the study was to compare the in vivo anthelmintic activity of sainfoin hay (Onobrychis viciifolia) and carob pod meal (Ceratonia siliqua) against gastrointestinal nematodes. Seven days before infection, 64 naive lambs were assigned to four different groups: Group S received sainfoin hay and group CAR was fed with carob pods. The remaining lambs received lucerne hay (Medicago sativa) ...

In summer 2016 a severe infestation of the alien ambrosia beetle Xylosandrus compactus was recorded from Mediterranean maquis in Circeo National Park Central Italy. Trees and shrubs were infested displayed wilting necrosis terminal branches caused by combined impact insect associated pathogenic fungi. A preliminary screening carried out on captured adults resulted isolation discrete number fung...

There is a growing interest in using by-products rich polyphenols, such as carob pulp (Cp, Ceratonia siliqua L.), dietary source of antioxidants for animals. This study assesses the effects including Cp lambs’ diet and meat display time (0, 7, 9, 11 days) modified atmosphere packaging on colour, fatty acid (FA) composition, tocopherol levels, lipid oxidation values Semimembranosus muscle 40 lig...

Brassica napus introgression lines (ILs), having B-genome segments from B. carinata, were assessed genetically for extent of introgression and phenotypically for siliqua shatter resistance. Introgression lines had 7-9% higher DNA content, were meiotically stable, and had almost normal pollen fertility/seed set. Segment introgressions were confirmed by fluorescent genomic in situ hybridization (...
