Black truffle aroma transfer kinetics to food matrices [PDF]
Food Chemistry, 2023 Nowadays black truffles are so highly valued that truffled products are available in supermarkets whereas fresh truffle is mainly used in the restaurants. It is known that truffle aroma can change because heat treatments, but there is no scientific evidence about what molecules are transferred, in which concentration, and how much time is needed to ...

Interannual dynamics of Tuber melanosporum and fungal communities in productive black truffle orchards amended with truffle nests [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2023 Abstract Truffle growers devote great efforts to improve black truffle productivity, developing agronomic practices such as ‘truffle nests’ (peat amendments that are supplemented with truffle spore inoculum). It has been hypothesized that improved fruiting associated with nests is linked to stimulation of truffle mycelia previously ...

Phytosanitary problems detected in black truffle cultivation. A review
Forest Systems, 2014 Aim of study: In black truffle plantations, many factors are driving the emergence of new pests and diseases which in forestry areas go unnoticed. Usually, the incidence of most of them is low. Nevertheless, in specific cases, some of them are capable of

Black truffle winter production depends on Mediterranean summer precipitation [PDF]
Environmental Research Letters, 2019 The unprecedented price inflation of Black truffles, recently exceeding 5000 Euro kg ^−1 (in Zurich), is a combined result of increasing global demands and decreasing Mediterranean harvests. Since the effects of long-term irrigation and climate variation

Black Truffle, a Hermaphrodite with Forced Unisexual Behaviour [PDF]
Trends in Microbiology, 2017 The life cycle of the black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) includes a mating before sporulation: although the species is hermaphroditic, mating turns out to involve parents with very different features, that mostly behave as male or female only, suggesting that this species undergoes forced dioecism.

Mycorrhizal competition release and microbial dynamics in native and non-native Tuber melanosporum habitats [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyTruffles in the genus Tuber (Pezizales) are among the few ectomycorrhizal taxa successfully cultivated worldwide. Australia has recently become one of the top producers of Tuber melanosporum, a high-valued black truffle native to Europe.
