AB  - Diplotaxis tenuifolia (L.) DC, recognized by its common name of wild rocket, has a notable role within the Brassicaceae family. The leaves of this plant offer a unique flavor that enhances culinary preparations, alongside their influence on improvement in overall human well-being due to their nutrient and bioactive compound content. Wild rocket possesses a wide range of antioxidants, incorporating vitamins such as C and E, along with carotenoids, glucosinolates, and flavonoids. The objective of this study was to assess the antioxidant properties of the fresh leaves from three wild rocket hybrids: Marte F1, Venere F1, and T&T F1. Using an 80% acetone solution as the solvent, powdered plant material was subjected to a 3-h extraction period at a ratio of 1:10 (plant material/solvent). After the extraction process, the antioxidant properties of the extracts were assessed spectrophotometrically using four distinct assays: DPPH⦁, ferric reducing power (FRP), in vitro phosphomolybdenum total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC). Phytochemical analyses disclosed a variation in the quencher assay results among hybrids, ranging from 5.42 to 6.19 μmol Trolox/g. Nevertheless, the statistical analysis indicated a lack of statistically significant differences among the hybrids within this specific quencher assay. Similarly, no statistically significant differences were found among the samples in relation to the TAC results. The T&T hybrid achieved the highest results in both the FRP and the CUPRAC assays (2.79 mg/g AAE and 17.73 mg/g AAE respectively). Notably, there were no statistical differences observed between the T&T and Venere hybrids. However, both the T&T and Venere hybrids exhibited statistically significant differences when compared to the Marte hybrid. The overall results showed variations among the chosen hybrids regarding their antioxidant properties, while indicating the potential of fertilization in the enhancement of the bioactive compound profile and biological activity.

AB  - The aim of this study was to analyze in detail the phytochemical composition of amaranth (AMJ), red beet (RBJ), and broccoli (BCJ) microgreens and cold-pressed juices and to evaluate the antioxidant and sensory properties of the juices. The results showed the presence of various phenolic compounds in all samples, namely betalains in amaranth and red beet microgreens, while glucosinolates were only detected in broccoli microgreens. Phenolic acids and derivatives dominated in amaranth and broccoli microgreens, while apigenin C-glycosides were most abundant in red beet microgreens. Cold-pressing of microgreens into juice significantly altered the profiles of bioactive compounds. Various isothiocyanates were detected in BCJ, while more phenolic acid aglycones and their derivatives with organic acids (quinic acid and malic acid) were identified in all juices. Microgreen juices exhibited good antioxidant properties, especially ABTS•+ scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power. Microgreen juices had mild acidity, low sugar content, and good sensory acceptability and quality with the typical flavors of the respective microgreen species. Cold-pressed microgreen juices from AMJ, RBJ, and BCJ represent a rich source of bioactive compounds and can be characterized as novel functional products.

AB  - This study aimed to evaluate the physical (particle size and ζ-potential) and techno-functional properties (emulsifying and foaming) of goat milk powders enriched with grape pomace seed extract (TME), as promising food ingredients in the formulation of functional food. Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) and Raman spectroscopies, along with advanced chemometric tools were employed as well as Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) for analyzing TME powders. All powders exhibited a unimodal particle size distribution and ζ-potential values more negative than −36 mV. ATR-FTIR and Raman spectroscopies combined with principal component analysis (PCA) demonstrated distinct separation among skimmed goat milk (M), thermally treated skimmed goat milk (TM), and TME powders in different spectral regions (amide I, II, III, and fingerprint region). This separation resulted from the applied thermal treatment, the presence of phenolic compounds and their complexes with goat milk proteins, and the formation of Maillard reaction products. SEM analysis confirmed the different morphology and shapes of M, TM and TME powders. The 0.1% solutions of M, TM and TME exhibited good emulsifying properties (emulsion activity index and emulsion stability index) but showed poor foaming properties, except for the M sample. Solution concentrations higher than 0.1% for all samples (0.5% and 1.0%) displayed poor techno-functional properties. In summary, a schematic representation of the arrangement of casein micelles in 0.1% M, TM and TME samples, on oil/water and air/water surfaces was provided. The production of TME powders represents an innovative strategy for waste recovery in the production of functional food ingredients with good emulsifying properties.

AB  - Endive (Cichorium endivia L.) is a leafy vegetable with excellent nutritional 
composition and bitter taste. Unlike in Southern and Western Europe, the 
vegetable is little known in Serbia. In an experiment conducted in the 
greenhouse in the fall of 2022 (August-October), the influence of mulch and 
bioregulators on the production characteristics of the narrow-leaved curly 
endive cultivar "Cigal" (C.e. var. crispum) was studied. An extract of the 
seaweed Ecklonia maxima, trade name Kelpak, was used as a bioregulator. 
Endive was grown on raised beds with and without PE mulch film. The 
bioregulator was applied in several ways, from watering the seedlings to foliar 
treatment. The best results were obtained with the combination in which the 
seedlings were irrigated with bioregulator before planting and then treated with 
it for 10 days. The total weight of the endive leaf rosette was 658.1 g for this 
combination, while it was 550.7 g for the control. The plants grown on the 
mulch film showed a statistically very significant increase in the total weight 
of the leaf rosette. All other parameters studied behaved similarly: the number 
of leaves in the rosette, the height and width of the leaf rosette, and the mass 
of the tree. The commercial yield of endive after removal of the oldest leaves 
ranged from 32.7 to 40.4 t/ha. Based on these studies, it can be recommended 
for production practice to grow endive on dams and with mulch film, and to 
treat the plants with natural bioregulators from planting to preharvest.

AB  - Leafy greens play a vital role in promoting a well-balanced and nourishing diet. They represent an 
abundant source of nutrients, as well as several health promoting bioactive compounds. Wild rocket 
(Diplotaxis tenuifolia (L.) DC.) is an herbaceous plant belonging to the Brassicaceae family. It is 
primarily cultivated for its pungent-tasting leaves, which are widely utilized in salads and culinary 
preparations. Wild rocket has a rich historical background in medicinal applications, serving various 
purposes such as anti-inflammatory, astringent, purifying, diuretic, digestive, soothing, invigorating 
and laxative. Gaining insights into the health-promoting properties can offer valuable knowledge 
regarding its purpose as a functional food and its potential impact on disease prevention and overall 
well-being. The leaves of wild rocket are highly nutritious and serve as a rich source of both macro 
and microelements such as calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, zinc and manganese. The consumption 
of leaves can complement and enhance the daily intake of these vital elements, contributing to a well rounded and balanced nutritional profile. It also contains significant amount of vitamin C, the essential 
vitamin renowned for its indispensable role in supporting immune system function, acting as a potent 
antioxidant, aiding in wound healing and maintaining the health of the skin. Although present in lower 
concentrations, Vitamin E and Vitamin A are also found in the leaves and have a notable impact on 
human health as they combat oxidative stress which is associated with neurodegenerative conditions 
such as Alzheimer’s disease. The presence of carotenoids and flavonoids in wild rocket enhances its 
total antioxidant capacity and contribute to healthy vision and help reduce the risk of age-related 
macular degeneration. Never the less, glucosinolates contained in wild rocket leaves and their metabolites 
have demonstrated the ability to inhibit the growth and proliferation of cancer cells.

AB  - Lakes and reservoirs are the main water resources for household, irrigation, and industrial use. Hence, it is necessary to control water pollution and have reliable information on water quality, which refers to its suitability for a particular purpose. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the suitability of water for drinking and irrigation purposes from ten artificial lakes on the territory of the Republic of Serbia. The physicochemical parameters were determined using standard analytical methods, whereas the optical emission spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma, ICP-OES, was used to determine the concentrations of 23 macro-, micro-, and trace elements in water. Health risk indices of drinking water and its suitability for irrigation purposes were evaluated. The results of physicochemical parameters, except for total organic matter, indicated that most samples were within the recommended values. Among analyzed elements, the concentration of Mg was elevated in the water of the lakes Srebrno and Prvonek. The results of health risk assessment clearly showed that there was no acute health risk (HQA < 1), whereas long-term risk (HQL) in the studied lakes was observed with respect to As (lakes Grlište and Srebrno), Mn (lakes Srebrno and Prvonek), Ni (Lake Vrutci), and Sr (Lake Grlište). The irrigation criteria indicated that the water from the examined lakes had satisfactory quality for this purpose, except for residual sodium carbonates (RSC). This criterion indicated low quality or unsuitability of the water in 7 lakes. The main outcomes provided valuable information on the suitability of water from the artificial lakes for intended uses.

AB  - The application of mushrooms for medicinal purposes has a long history, primarily due to its therapeutic properties. Today,
mushrooms are often used as functional food or natural sources in the development of various nutraceuticals. Using advanced
instrumental techniques, it was shown that mushrooms are a good source of highly valuable polysaccharides (i.e.,
glucans), sterols (i.e., ergosterol), different antioxidants, proteins and peptides. However, due to the great diversity of fungi,
additional research in this area should be performed. The aim of this study is to analyze biocompounds from polysaccharides
and aqueous extracts of two different mushrooms (A. bisporus and A. aegerita). Mushroom extracts were prepared
according to procedure previously desribed by Popović Minić (2023)[1]. Lyophilised mushroom powder was extracted with
80% methanol containing 0.1% HCl, after which the suspension was filtered through 0.45μm filters and used for further
chromatographic analysis by UHPLC-QToF-MS. Chemical characterization of mushroom biomolecules was performed
using exact mass (m/z) and MS2 fragment ions of each detected compound and their retention times. The identified compounds
represented four structurally distinct groups: 1) organic acids and their derivatives (7 compounds); 2) phenolic
acids and their derivatives (11 compounds); 3) esters (28 compounds); and 4) other organic compounds (Gibberellin A1 ).
Based on the obtained results, the differences between the tested samples can be clearly observed. In A.bisposrus and
A.aegerita polysaccharide extracts only few organic acids and esters were detected, while phenolics and majority of esters
were not recorded. On the other hand, the presence of organic acids, phenolic acids, esters and their derivatives was confirmed
in both aqueous extracts. The highest number of detected compounds (as many as 41 compounds) was detected in
the aqueous extract of A. aegerita. Among organic acids, fumaric, malic and citric acids were detected in all the mushroom
extracts, whereas p-hydroxybenzoic acid, m-hydroxy-hydrocinnamic acid, sinapic acid, 2-(pentanoyloxy)benzoate, and
3-(11-hydroxyundecoxy) benzoate were detected among phenolic acids and their derivatives in aqueous extracts of both
mushrooms. Regarding detected esters, following compounds were identified in the tested samples: 8-carboxyoctanoate,
3-(octyloxy)-3-oxopropanoate, 9,12,13-trihydroxyoctadecenoate, 13-hydroxy-9,11-octadecadienoate. The estimated profiles
of biocompounds present in mushroom extracts can contribute to the further understanding of their antioxidant and
biological properties.

AB  - Hull is the major by-product of soybean processing industry. Generally, it is regarded as „waste“ and used for animal feeding or discarded directly causing resource wastage and environmental pressure. However, soy hull can be a good source of bioactive compounds including isoflavones and other polyphenols, trypsin inhibitors and bioactive peptides. Most of these compounds are associated with antioxidant activity and it is believed that they can contribute to the reduction of oxidative stress, which is associated with the occurrence of a number of degenerative diseases. In this study we investigated in vitro antioxidant properties (ABTS radical scavenging activity, reducing power and iron (II) chelating ability), as well as total phenolic, flavonoid and dihydroxycinnamic acid derivates contents of water and methanol extracts of soybean hulls. For these purpose deffated commercial soy hulls were thermally pre-treated for 10 minutes using steam at 1.3 bars (wet heating) in oven at 120 ºC (dry heat treatment) during the same period. According to the results of this study both, thermal pre-treatment and extraction agent affect in vitro antioxidant potential, total content of phenolic and flavonoid compounds as well as the content of dihydroxycinnamic acid derivates. Water extracts had more than twice higher ABTS radical scavenging activity (4.57-4.91 mgETrolox/g) than the methanol extracts (2.03-2.16 mgETrolox/g), but similar Fe (II) chelating ability. Water extracts are characterized with higher content of total phenols, flavonoids and dihydroxycinnamic acid derivates compared to methanol extracts.

AB  - Introduction
Generally, soy hull is regarded as ‘‘waste’’ and used for animal feeding or discarded directly causing
resource wastage and environmental pressure. However, soy hull can be a good source of bioactive
compounds such as pectin-like polysaccharides. These polysaccharides may play an important role in
food processing as a gelling agent, thickening agent and stabilizer as well as new composite matrices
for targeted and controlled delivery of nutraceutical molecules. Pectin-like polysaccharides are also
associated with several human health benefits.
Objective
This work deals with the isolation of pectin-like polysaccharides from commercial soy hulls, their
antioxidant potential as well as with their macro- and microelements content.
Methodology
Pectin-like polysaccharides were isolated from heat- treated and defatted commercial soy hulls. Hulls
were extracted with hot (85◦C) 0.6% solution of ammonium oxalate using microwave oven for 5min.
(at 450W). Hot solution was filtered through four layer filter cloth. The pH of filtrate was adjusted to
4.5 and centrifuged. Polysaccharides were precipitated with ethanol and dried at 65◦C. Antioxidant
potential of initial hulls extract and isolated polysaccharides was determined using ABTS radical
scavenging activity, FRAP and iron(II) chelating ability methods. Macro- and microelement contents
were determined by ICP-OES and ICP-MS.
Results
Pectin-like polysaccharides of soy hulls are characterized with high ability to chelate Fe(II) ions and
high ferric reducing power. Both abilities (28.58%; 3.17 mg/g AAE) were almost two times higher
that those obtained for water extract of initial hulls (14.81%; 1.58 mg/g AAE). In contrast, their ability
to scavenging ABTS radicals was twice lower than those obtained for initial hull extract. In addition,
isolated polysaccharides can be a good source of several elements including K, Mg and Zn.
Conclusion
According to the results of this study, soy hulls can be a significant source of bioactive polysaccharides.

AB  - Among decorative petals of some plant species, lies a hidden wide array of bioactive
components, representing a potential source of health-promoting compounds. Predominantly
known as a group of vegetables with great economic importance, the Brassicaceae family
stands out with an abundant number of species whose flowers are edible. One such species is
Diplotaxis tenuifolia (L.) DC., a versatile plant, commonly grown for its deeply lobed leaves
which are widely used in gastronomy. However, there is limited available data regarding the
phytochemical profile of its edible flowers. The aim of this study was to compare two different
extraction solvents (80% acetone and 80% methanol) with regard to the phytochemical yield
and antioxidant activity of D. tenuifolia flowers. Furthermore, using spectrophotometric
methods, the analyses of total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and
total hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives content (HCAs) were performed, in addition to
determining the total content of pigments (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids)
from acetone extract. In terms of the total content of pigments, chlorophyll b was the most
abundant (27.83 µg/g of fresh weight (FW)), while chlorophyll a exhibited the lowest
concentration (9.34 µg/g FW). The content of TPC was higher in the acetone extract (8.29
mg GAE /g FW), whereas the yield of TFC was greater in the methanolic extract (2.00 mg
QE /g). As for the total hydroxycinnamic acid derivative content (HCAs) the applied solvents
did not statistically significantly influence the yield. Nevertheless, the antioxidant properties
of both extracts were assessed through four distinct assays: DPPH•
quenching assay, ferric
reducing power (FRP), in vitro phosphomolybdenum total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and
cupric reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC). Phytochemical analyses revealed
differences in the quencher assay results when the two solvents were used. The methanol
extract exhibited higher DPPH•
activity at 10.17 μmol Trolox/g FW, as confirmed by
statistical analysis, which demonstrated significant variations among the solvents used.
Similarly, regarding the TAC results, methanol extract yielded higher values (6.61 mg AAE /g
FW) as opposed to the acetone extract (4.85 mg AAE /g FW), although the statistical analysis
indicated a lack of statistically significant differences among the solvents. Moreover, the
results of FRP and CUPRAC assays were contrasted. In the FRP analysis, acetone extracts
exhibited superior antioxidant activity (5.07 mg AAE/g FW) compared to the methanol
extract (4.24 mg AAE/g), whereas in the CUPRAC assay, methanol extracts displayed a
108
higher level at 29.19 mg AAE/g FW indicating possible differences in extracted bioactive
compounds. The values exhibited statistically significant differences among the solvents used
in each assay. The obtained findings reveal that wild rocket flowers can serve as a valuable
source of bioactive compounds with health-promoting properties, and the choice of solvent
influences their yield, which is significant for possible pharmaceutical and/or food
applications.

AB  - Fortification - the process of enriching products with essential nutrients has been used for many years
in various branches of the food industry. However, the term biofortification is more recent and refers
to increasing the concentration of essential nutrients, especially vitamins and microelements, in edible
plant parts. The idea of biofortification as a measure in agricultural production was developed with
the aim of reducing the consequences of “hidden hunger”, which is particularly pronounced in
underdeveloped countries, and refers to insufficient intake of essential nutrients. Current research
shows that more than two billion people in the world are affected by a deficiency of microelements,
particularly zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), selenium (Se) and vitamin A. In the context of biofortification, there
are several methods that can be used to improve the nutritional value of plant products, namely:
transgenic breeding methods (genetically modified crops), conventional breeding methods (selection
and crossing) and agrobiofortification (application of fertilizers containing microelements).
Agrobiofortification can be done in several ways: soil or foliar application of fertilizers or by treating
seed before sowing. Agrobiofortification is considered as an efficient, economically justified and simple
method that can be applied to all crops with known cultivation technology, with the aim of obtaining
functional food. The specificity of agrobiofortification is reflected in the knowledge of the affinity of
the plant species for the adoption of certain elements, in order to implement mineral nutrition in a way
that ensures optimal growth and development of plants with the simultaneous accumulation of necessary
elements in the edible plant parts. In addition, it is necessary to determine the optimal dose of fertilizer
that is ecologically and economically justified, as well as the optimal timing of fertilizer application,
that is, to determine the phase of plant development when the uptake of plant nutrients is greatest.

AB  - Wild rocket, scientifically known as Diplotaxis tenuifolia (L.) DC is a leafy green
plant from the Brassicaceae family. Native to the Medditerian region, today this perennial
plant is cultivated worldwide, owing to the distinctive pungent taste of its deeply lobed green
leaves. Beyond their culinary uses, the leaves of wild rocket exhibit potential for
pharmaceutical applications due to their rich bioactive compounds profile. These include
vitamins, pigments (chlorophyll a and b, carotenoids), phenolics, and glucosinolates (GLSs),
all exhibiting strong antioxidant and anti-cancer activities. This study aimed to evaluate the
effects of biofortification, employing biostimulant Kelpak and two distinct foliar fertilizers
(iron and potassium-enriched) in comparison to a control group, on the phenolic and
glucosinolate content in the leaves of wild rocket hybrid T&T F1. Using an ultra-highperformance
liquid chromatography (UHPLC) system, coupled with a quadrupole time-offlight
mass spectrometry (Q-ToF-MS), a total of twenty-three plant phenolics was quantified,
and the relative content of four glucosinolates was evaluated in 70% methanol extracts.
Concerning the overall content of phenolic compounds, treatment involving iron application
showed the highest levels at 3549.1 mg/kg of fresh weight (FW), while the control group
exhibited the lowest content (2171.4 mg/kg FW). Moreover, the most prominent phenolics
included quercetin-3,4'-di-O-hexoside-3'-O-(6"-sinapoyl)-hexoside (ranging from 527.2 to
651.8 mg/kg FW among groups) and 1,8-dipropoxyanthraquinone (278.3-558.5 mg/kg FW).
The control and iron-enriched samples exhibited the presence of kaempferol-3,7,4'-tri-Ohexoside
+ HCOOH and isorhamnetin-3-O-hexoside-4'-O-gentobioside, in addition to the
non-identified sinapic acid hydroxide in the Kelpak treated group. Additionally, the
determination of relative GLSs content of glucosativin, glucoerucin, neoglucobrassicin, and
DMB-GLS revealed that glucosativin was the dominant compound, with proportions ranging
from 79.8% (Kelpak treatments) to 89.1% (iron treatments). In conclusion, selected hybrid
biofortification treatments, notably through the use of iron foliar fertilizers, enhanced
phenolic and glucosinolate leaf content, highlighting its potential significance in nutrition and
medicine.

AB  - Myristica fragrans (fam. Myristicaceae) – the source of the spice nutmeg, is evergreen tree
widespread in warm and humid tropical climate. Indonesia is the largest nutmeg world
producer. Nutmeg seeds are valuable due many uses: in cooking (spice in sweet or salt dishes),
traditional medicine (diseases of the nervous, digestive and dentistry), additive in the products
of the pharmaceutical and perfumery industry. Nutmeg seed is a good source of primary
(carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins) and secondary metabolites (terpenes, phenolics,
organic acids). The main components are lipids (30-40%) and essential oil (10-15%). Scientific
sources indicate on many pharmacological effects of nutmeg: antidepressant, hepatoprotective,
antioxidant, anticancer, etc. Climatic conditions have significant impact on flavor and
therapeutic effect of nutmeg. In this research the content of total phenolics (TPC), total
flavonoids (TFC), total hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives (THCAs) and total carotenoids
(TCC) was determined by spectrophotometrically methods, in order to evaluate the potential
healing effect of nutmeg. Tested extracts were prepared from dried and ground nutmeg seed
commercially purchased, using two solvents (80% acetone and warm water - 50°C) and two
extraction techniques (solvent extraction (SE) and ultrasound assisted extraction (USE)). The
obtained results indicate a rich content of carotenoids and phenolics in acetone extracts.
Precisely, the TCC was 49.94 ± 0.70 μg/g in extract prepared by SE and 53.01 ± 1.28 μg/g in
extract prepared by UAE. The TPC in acetone extracts prepared by SE and UAE was similar,
28.93 ± 0.18 mg GAE/g of DW and 28.78 ± 0.07 mg GAE/g of DW, respectively, which is
statistically significantly higher than the TPC achieved in water extracts (2.97 ± 0.14 mg GAE/g
of DW for SE extract and 3.00 ± 0.21 mg GAE/g of DW for UAE extract). The TFC and THACs
achieved in acetone extracts was statistically significantly higher than TFC and THACs
observed in water extracts, where in the case of both solvents, the extraction technique does not
influence statistically significantly on the TF and THACs content. The TFC and THACs in
acetone extracts prepared by SE was 1.50 ± 0.06 mg CE/g of DW and 6.13 ± 0.08 mg CGAE/g
of DW, while acetone extracts prepared by UAE contained TF 1.59 ± 0.00 mg CE/g of DW and
THACs 5.96 ± 0.27 mg CGAE/g of DW, respectively.

abstract = "Myristica fragrans (fam. Myristicaceae) – the source of the spice nutmeg, is evergreen tree
widespread in warm and humid tropical climate. Indonesia is the largest nutmeg world
producer. Nutmeg seeds are valuable due many uses: in cooking (spice in sweet or salt dishes),
traditional medicine (diseases of the nervous, digestive and dentistry), additive in the products
of the pharmaceutical and perfumery industry. Nutmeg seed is a good source of primary
(carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins) and secondary metabolites (terpenes, phenolics,
organic acids). The main components are lipids (30-40%) and essential oil (10-15%). Scientific
sources indicate on many pharmacological effects of nutmeg: antidepressant, hepatoprotective,
antioxidant, anticancer, etc. Climatic conditions have significant impact on flavor and
therapeutic effect of nutmeg. In this research the content of total phenolics (TPC), total
flavonoids (TFC), total hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives (THCAs) and total carotenoids
(TCC) was determined by spectrophotometrically methods, in order to evaluate the potential
healing effect of nutmeg. Tested extracts were prepared from dried and ground nutmeg seed
commercially purchased, using two solvents (80% acetone and warm water - 50°C) and two
extraction techniques (solvent extraction (SE) and ultrasound assisted extraction (USE)). The
obtained results indicate a rich content of carotenoids and phenolics in acetone extracts.
Precisely, the TCC was 49.94 ± 0.70 μg/g in extract prepared by SE and 53.01 ± 1.28 μg/g in

AB  - Allium species are known as a rich source of many compounds with potential healing effects. Biofortification is recognized as an effective agrotechnical measure for raising the level of biogenic elements—especially microelements in the edible parts of these species, so Allium can be considered as a ‘natural dietary supplement’. The aim of this research was to test the effects of foliar application of Se fertilizer (Na2SeO4) in different doses (control—0, 10, 20 and 30 g per ha) on the content of macro, microelements and secondary metabolites (SMs)—free phenolics, flavonoids and hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives in the edible parts, i.e., leaves of two selected Allium species in Serbia (A. odorum and A. schoenoprasum), which grew in open field conditions over the course of two growing seasons. The bioaccumulation factor (BAF), as an indicator of the ability of plants to accumulate biogenic elements, was also determined. Although with no full regularity, the dose of 10 g of Se per ha yielded the highest content for the most biogenic elements for both alliums in the first growing season, i.e., a dose of 20 g of Se per ha for A. schoenoprasum, and a dose of 30 g of Se per ha for A. odorum in the second growing season. The obtained results justified the Se-biofortification of different alliums. The BAF values indicated the ability of both Allium species to accumulate S, K and P in their leaves during both growing seasons. The accumulation of potentially toxic elements was not recorded for either species, emphasizing the safety of the produced plant material for human consumption. Additionally, Se-treated plants had higher SM contents compared to control plants. The growing season also showed an impact on SM content; i.e., in the second season, characterized as drought-stressed, the synthesis of SMs was significantly higher compared to that in the first season. Further research should be directed towards finding the appropriate dose of Se, expanded in the sense of conducting research in controlled conditions, as well as different ways of applying Se fertilizer. The idea of this study was also to popularize the examined Allium species, which are rarely grown in the territory of Serbia. © 2023 by the authors.

AB  - Bee products, including honey, have been utilized since ancient times for nutritional and therapeutic purposes. Recently, other bee products such as bee pollen, royal jelly, and propolis have caught a lot of attention. Being high in antioxidants and bioactive compounds, these products have established their applications in the pharmaceutical field as supplementary or alternative medicines. This review focuses on their use against polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)-related infertility. A systematic search of electronic databases including PubMed, Web of Science ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar was conducted from their inceptions up to November 2022. Studies with a small sample size, studies with inconclusive data, and pre-prints have been excluded. A narrative synthesis was performed during draft preparation after the authors independently performed a literature search. A total of 47 studies were finalized for the review. It can be observed that in vivo data on the use of bee products in treating PCOS mostly deals with their use in synergism with the PCOS medicines to enhance their effect and/or curb their side effects; however, clinical trials for the same are limited. With the amount of data being limited, it is difficult to map out the mechanism by which these products act in managing PCOS inside the human body. The review gives detailed insights into the reversal and restorative properties of bee products against the aberrations in reproductive health caused by PCOS. © 2023 by the authors.

AB  - Ever since ancient times, Allium species have played a significant role in the human diet, in traditional medicine for the treatment of many ailments, and in officinal medicine as a supplemental ingredient. The major metabolites of alliums, as well as their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, with an emphasis on the species most represented in the Balkan region, are discussed in this review. Due to its richness in endemic species, the Balkan region is considered the genocenter of alliums. There are 56 recorded Allium species in the Balkans, and 17 of them are endemic. The most common and well-studied Allium species in the Balkans are A. cepa (onion), A. sativum (garlic), A. ampeloprasum (leek), A. schoenoprasum (chives), A. fistulosum (Welsh onion), and A. ursinum (wild garlic or bear’s garlic), which are known for their pungent taste and smell, especially noticeable in garlic and onion, and attributed to various organosulfur compounds. These plants are valued for their macronutrients and are used as desirable vegetables and spices. Additionally, phytochemicals such as organosulfur compounds, phenolics, fatty acids, and saponins are associated with the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of these species, among many other bioactivities. All parts of the plant including the bulb, peel, clove, leaf, pseudostem, root, flower, and seed exhibit antioxidant properties in different in vitro assays. The characteristic phytocompounds that contribute to the antimicrobial activity of alliums include allicin, ajoene, allyl alcohol, and some diallyl sulfides. Nanoparticles synthesized using Allium species are also recognized for their notable antimicrobial properties. © 2023 by the authors.

AB  - Food nanoemulsions are known as very effective and excellent carriers for both lipophilic and hydrophilic bioactive compounds (BCs) and have been successfully used for controlled delivery and protection of BCs during gastrointestinal digestion (GID). However, due to sensitive and fragile morphology, BCs-loaded nanoemulsions have different digestion pathways depending on their properties, food matrix properties, and applied models for testing their digestibility and BCs bioaccessibility. Thus, this review gives a critical review of the behavior of encapsulated BCs into food nanoemulsions during each phase of GID in different static and dynamic in vitro digestion models, as well as of the influence of nanoemulsion and food matrix properties on BCs bioaccessibility. In the last section, the toxicity and safety of BCs-loaded nanoemulsions evaluated on in vitro and in vivo GID models have also been discussed. Better knowledge of food nanoemulsions’ behavior in different models of simulated GI conditions and within different nanoemulsion and food matrix types can help to standardize the protocol for their testing aiming for researchers to compare results and design BCs-loaded nanoemulsions with better performance and higher targeted BCs bioaccessibility. © 2023 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

AB  - The aim of this study was to produce an eco-innovative gluten-free bread with a pleasant taste and a unique formulation that includes the highest quality grains and pseudocereals (buckwheat; rice; and millet); and okara; a by-product of soy milk production. The mixture of pseudocereal and cereal flour contained buckwheat flour 45%, rice flour 33%, and millet flour 22%. Three gluten-free breads; each containing different contents of gluten-free flour (90%, 80%, and 70%, respectively); okara (10%, 20%, and 30%, respectively); and a control sample (without okara); were prepared and subjected to sensory evaluation. The okara-enriched gluten-free bread with the highest sensory score was selected for further analysis of physico-chemical (total proteins; total carbohydrates; insoluble fiber; soluble fiber; sugars; total lipids; saturated fatty acids; and salt) and functional properties (total phenolic content and antioxidant properties). The highest sensory scores were obtained for 30% okara-enriched gluten-free bread including taste; shape; odor; chewiness; and cross-section properties; classifying this bread in the category of very good quality and excellent quality (mean score 4.30 by trained evaluators and 4.59 by consumers). This bread was characterized by a high content of dietary fiber (14%), the absence of sugar; low content of saturated fatty acids (0.8%), rich source of proteins (8.8%) and certain minerals (e.g.,; iron; zinc); and low energy value (136.37 kcal/100g DW). Total phenolic content was 133.75 mgGAE/100g FW; whereas ferric reducing power; ABTS radical cation; and DPPH radical scavenging activity were 119.25 mgAA/100g FW; 86.80 mgTrolox/100g FW; and 49.92 mgTrolox/100g FW; respectively.

abstract = "The aim of this study was to produce an eco-innovative gluten-free bread with a pleasant taste and a unique formulation that includes the highest quality grains and pseudocereals (buckwheat; rice; and millet); and okara; a by-product of soy milk production. The mixture of pseudocereal and cereal flour contained buckwheat flour 45%, rice flour 33%, and millet flour 22%. Three gluten-free breads; each containing different contents of gluten-free flour (90%, 80%, and 70%, respectively); okara (10%, 20%, and 30%, respectively); and a control sample (without okara); were prepared and subjected to sensory evaluation. The okara-enriched gluten-free bread with the highest sensory score was selected for further analysis of physico-chemical (total proteins; total carbohydrates; insoluble fiber; soluble fiber; sugars; total lipids; saturated fatty acids; and salt) and functional properties (total phenolic content and antioxidant properties). The highest sensory scores were obtained for 30% okara-enriched gluten-free bread including taste; shape; odor; chewiness; and cross-section properties; classifying this bread in the category of very good quality and excellent quality (mean score 4.30 by trained evaluators and 4.59 by consumers).

AB  - The common medlar (Mespilus germanica L.) is one of two species within the Mespilus genus (Maloideae subfamily). Its use can be traced back almost 30 centuries, from ancient Assyrians and Babylonians to Greeks and Romans and through modern times. During the Middle Ages it was a popular fruit tree and a highly appreciated ornamental tree in gardens across Europe. However, in modern times, the medlar is often considered an underestimated and underutilized fruit from the Rosaceae family. Nevertheless, it is slowly regaining its ‘medieval glory’ and commercial importance as a food-stuff for human consumption. The medlar plant has a wide array of traditional uses in both gastronomy and medicine. Ripe medlar fruits can be consumed fresh or processed into different products such as juice, concentrate, jam, cheese, leather, and honey. Meanwhile, unripe fruits can be used to prepare pickles or beverages such as cider. The nutritional potential of medlar fruits is attributed to sugars, organic acids, fatty acids, carotenoids, amino acids and proteins, vitamins, and essential elements. Scarce literature describes the richness of medlar fruit in bioactive phenolic compounds such as flavonoids and phenolic acids, which contribute to its antioxidant and antidiabetic properties. Additionally, a few studies describe other biological properties of the medlar plant including antimicrobial, cytotoxic and neurodegenerative effects of medlar fruits and leaves, while reports on the clinical studies are lacking. This review paper summarizes the chemical and nutritional properties of medlar fruit, traditional medicinal uses and biological activity of the medlar plant, relying on the most relevant and up to date scientific literature in the field.

AB  - The aim of this study was to compile a detailed phytochemical profile and assess the antioxidant properties of bee-collected pollen (PBP) obtained from corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas L.) plants. To achieve this, a lipid fraction was prepared for quantifying fatty acids using GC-FID. Extractable and alkaline-hydrolysable PBP fractions (obtained from a defatted sample) were used to determine the qualitative and quantitative profiles of phenolic compounds, phenylamides and alkaloids using UHPLC/Q-ToF-MS. Additionally, various spectrophotometric assays (TAC, FRP, CUPRAC, DPPH⦁) were conducted to evaluate the antioxidant properties. Phenolic compounds were more present in the extractable fraction than in the alkaline-hydrolysable fraction. Luteolin was the predominant compound in the extractable fraction, followed by tricetin and various derivatives of kaempferol. This study presents one of the first reports on the quantification of tricetin aglycone outside the Myrtaceae plant family. The alkaline-hydrolysable fraction exhibited a different phenolic profile, with a significantly lower amount of phenolics. Kaempferol/derivatives, specific compounds like ferulic and 5-carboxyvanillic acids, and (epi)catechin 3-O-gallate were the predominant compounds in this fraction. Regarding phenylamides, the extractable fraction demonstrated a diverse range of these bioactive compounds, with a notable abundance of different spermine derivatives. In contrast, the hydrolysable fraction contained six spermine derivatives and one spermidine derivative. The examined fractions also revealed the presence of seventeen different alkaloids, belonging to the benzylisoquinoline, berberine and isoquinoline classes. The fatty-acid profile confirmed the prevalence of unsaturated fatty acids. Furthermore, both fractions exhibited significant antioxidant activity, with the extractable fraction showing particularly high activity. Among the assays conducted, the CUPRAC assay highlighted the exceptional ability of PBP’s bioactive compounds to reduce cupric ions.

AB  - Tofu whey is a pale-yellowish liquid with specific aroma/taste which remains as the byproduct/waste after tofu squeezing and represents an environmental problem for direct disposal. Understanding the fresh tofu whey protein composition and the activity of bioactive peptides could be useful for the application of tofu whey as a functional food additive. Tofu whey was obtained during the tofu production from six soybean genotypes by hydrothermal processing in combination with chymosin-pepsin rennet. Basic 7S globulin (14.28–19.13%), γ-conglycinin (7.73–9.31%) and β-conglycinin (10.59–12.90%) were registered of the total extracted proteins. Glycinin was present with a dominant share of acidic (24.64–27.55%) versus basic polypeptides (12.18–14.61%) in the total extracted proteins. High content of total protein (22.67–28.00%), balanced content (9.76–13.33% of the total extracted proteins) and residual activity (1.95–3.76%) of trypsin inhibitors and low lectins content (5.04–5.48% of the total extracted proteins) indicate good nutritional value of the tofu whey samples. Tofu whey can be potentially useful for application as a cheap, nutritional and functional food additive and can enable sustainable production through the recycling of waste. © 2023 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

AB  - The present work determined complete mineral profile of four different types of grains (spelt, soybean, maize, and buckwheat) grown under two growing systems – conventional and organic. The contents of 20 macro-, micro and trace elements were analysed in the examined grains by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). In most samples, nine elements were present in concentrations higher than 10 mg/kg. The remaining elements were present at lower concentrations or in traces or not detected in certain samples. Aluminium and arsenic, as two toxic elements, were detected only in organic buckwheat grains. Based on the obtained results for the mineral contents, a nutritive assessment of the quality of grains of spelt, soybean, maize, and buckwheat were made. Results of nutritional assessment showed that spelt, soybean, and buckwheat grains could potentially be good sources of several minerals for human diet. On the other hand, the presence of some toxic elements, such as cadmium and strontium, should be monitored. Results of principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) shown that the mineral composition, to a much greater extent, depended on the botanical origin of grains as compared to the production system © 2022.

AB  - Numerous worldwide studies have shown that there is a difference in the
mineral composition between organically and conventionally produced plants
and their products. Spelt (Triticum spelta), alternative grain from the family
Poaceae, occupies a very important place in the production of healthy food.
Also, spelt represents commonly grown organic crops due to the ideally
balanced ratio of nutrients. In addition to the macroelements, for the survival
and normal plant function some microelements are also needed. The aim of
this study was to determine the existence of differences in the content of
microelements and (B, Ba, Cu, Li, Mn and Se) in organically and
conventionally produced spelt seeds, in period of 2015-2017. The
determination of these elements was conducted by using Inductively Coupled
Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) with previous digestion of
samples and results were expressed as mg/kg of dry weight. In samples
collected during 2015 and 2016, B and Ba were not detected. In conventional
spelt seed, higher quantity of Ba (2.366 mg/kg), Cu (6.356 mg/kg) and Mn
(55.878 mg/kg) was determined, while organic spelt seed contained higher
content of B (0.875 mg/kg), Li (14.77 mg/kg) and Se (0.275 mg/kg) compared
to conventionally grown sample. The obtained results for the examined
elements revealed that the lowest content in analyzed seeds was for Li
(conventional seed from 2017, 0,008 mg/kg), while Mn was quantified in the
highest amount (conventional seed from 2017, 55.878 mg/kg).

abstract = "Numerous worldwide studies have shown that there is a difference in the
mineral composition between organically and conventionally produced plants
and their products. Spelt (Triticum spelta), alternative grain from the family
Poaceae, occupies a very important place in the production of healthy food.
Also, spelt represents commonly grown organic crops due to the ideally
balanced ratio of nutrients. In addition to the macroelements, for the survival
and normal plant function some microelements are also needed. The aim of
this study was to determine the existence of differences in the content of
microelements and (B, Ba, Cu, Li, Mn and Se) in organically and
conventionally produced spelt seeds, in period of 2015-2017. The
determination of these elements was conducted by using Inductively Coupled
Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) with previous digestion of
samples and results were expressed as mg/kg of dry weight. In samples
collected during 2015 and 2016, B and Ba were not detected. In conventional
spelt seed, higher quantity of Ba (2.366 mg/kg), Cu (6.356 mg/kg) and Mn
(55.878 mg/kg) was determined, while organic spelt seed contained higher
content of B (0.875 mg/kg), Li (14.77 mg/kg) and Se (0.275 mg/kg) compared
to conventionally grown sample. The obtained results for the examined
elements revealed that the lowest content in analyzed seeds was for Li
(conventional seed from 2017, 0,008 mg/kg), while Mn was quantified in the
highest amount (conventional seed from 2017, 55.878 mg/kg).",
