Degradation kinetics of postharvest quality attributes of rocket leaves grown under different nitrogen rates

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Diplotaxis tenuifolia L. cv Dallas (rocket leaves) is one of the most widely consumed fresh‐cut salad vegetables in Europe, especially in southern Italy, being appreciated for its pungent taste and health promoting phytochemicals. However, its short postharvest shelf‐life is still a major drawback.

Composition and functionalities of peanut protein concentrates using ethanol as a defatted solvent and a precipitating agent

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Defatted solids (DSs) from vegetable oil extraction represent valuable feedstocks for producing protein concentrates with tailored functional properties. In the present study, using peanut protein concentrates obtained from press cakes defatted with ethanol (DSEt) or hexane (DSHx), we aimed to evaluate ethanol as a green solvent for
