Identitāte un telpa Čikano literatūrā: Sandras Sisneros romāni
2018
Šis pētnieciskais darbs aplūko, kā identitāte un telpa tiek attēlotas Sandras Sisneros romānos „The House on Mango Street” (1989), „Woman Hollering Creek and Other Stories” (1992) un „Caramelo” (2003). Pētījuma mērķis ir izzināt, kā, parvietošanās un dzīves vietas pārmaiņu procesā, vieta ietekmē varoņu hibrīdidentitātes, ļauj saglabāt vietējā iezīmes globālā kontekstā. Pētījums tika veikts ar teksta tuvlasījuma analīzes palīdzību no naratoloģijas perspektīvas. Pētījumā iegūtie rezultāti var tikt izmantoti tālākai identitātes un telpas atainojuma Čikano literatūrā izpētei. Rezultāti liecina, ka romānu varoņi ir savas identitātes un pašizziņas nemitīgos meklējumos, kā arī saskaras ar pastāvīg…
Antioxidant phenolic compounds recovery from Mangifera indica L. by-products by supercritical antisolvent extraction
2015
Abstract Supercritical Antisolvent Extraction (SAE) was used in the recovery of antioxidant compounds from mango by-products. The antioxidant extract was obtained by solid–liquid extraction using aqueous acetone (80% v/v) and subsequent adsorption/desorption in C18 cartridge. Recovery of antioxidants was performed by SAE using SC-CO 2 as antisolvent. The temperature and pressure parameters were varied in the range 35–45 °C and 8–15 MPa. The SAE process allowed the recovery of about 90% of the initial phenolic compounds, the best recovery was obtained at 40 °C and 10 MPa and the main compounds were mangiferin, isomangiferin, quercetin 3-O-galactoside, quercetin 3-O-glucoside, quercetin 3-O-x…
Spazio alle nuove specie: actinidia, piccoli frutti, tropicali
2018
Dopo il grande successo dell’actinidia sono stati tanti i tentativi di portare in Italia nuove specie da frutto per diversicare il panorama produttivo di aree in crisi strutturale e commerciale con le colture più tradizionali. Il Centro-Nord ha puntato sui piccoli frutti, ora il Sud punta alle specie sub-tropicali. Il mercato ha voglia di novità, ma non tutto si presta ad una diffusione su larga scala.
Drying kinetics and physico-chemical quality of mango slices
2019
Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is an important tropical fruit consumed worldwide and grown in Italy only in Sicily, where the areas of the Tyrrhenian coast have proved to be suitable to produce valuable fruits. Mango fruit has a pleasant aroma and taste, which are important qualities for consumer’s sensorial acceptance. However, they are highly perishable, prone to progressive undesired changes if stored untreated, resulting in around 25% postharvest losses, which is further increased during storage and transportation. An alternative for reducing the above-mentioned undesired changes is the dehydration of the cut fruit, which reduce the fruit water activity, thereby avoiding the deteriorative …
Anti-adipogenic potential of bio-waste products of Sicilian mango in 3T3-L1 cells
LA QUALITÀ DEL MANGO PRODOTTO IN SICILIA, ASPETTI COLTURALI DELLA PAPAYA, DEL LICI E DEL NESPOLO DEL GIAPPONE
2016
L’introduzione di specie arboree da frutto di origine tropicale e subtropicale in Sicilia non è nuova ma solo negli ultimi anni si assiste ad una crescita esponenziale delle superfici investite. Infatti, se alberi come il Nespolo del Giappone fanno ormai parte della nostra cultura frutticola da decenni, mango, lici e papaia fino a qualche anno fa erano poco conosciuti sulle nostre tavole. Nel giro di poco tempo questi frutti hanno conquistato un posto stabile tra le preferenze del consumatore con spazi di mercato in continuo aumento. La coltivazione di questi fruttiferi di origine tropicale presuppone precise risposte sulla fattibilità di nuovi impianti e sulle modalità di conduzione agrono…
Ricerche nel Santuario di Contrada Mango a Segesta
2022
Between June and July 2022, the University of Palermo started new feld investigations in the Contrada Mango sanctuary in Segesta, which, in the 1950s and 1960s, had brought to light a monumental temenos-terracing wall in isodomic technique and the remains of a Doric Severe-Style peripteral temple, largely spoliated at an unknown period. This paper presents some preliminary results of the new research that results from an intensive review and study of the documentation of the old excavations, which isabout to be published. The most important data acquired are the identifcation of the spoliation trench of the north side of the peristasis of the temple and the attribution of the foundations su…

Hypertrophy and ER Stress Induced by Palmitate Are Counteracted by Mango Peel and Seed Extracts in 3T3-L1 Adipocytes
2023
A diet rich in saturated fatty acids (FAs) has been correlated with metabolic dysfunction and ROS increase in the adipose tissue of obese subjects. Thus, reducing hypertrophy and oxidative stress in adipose tissue can represent a strategy to counteract obesity and obesity-related diseases. In this context, the present study showed how the peel and seed extracts of mango (Mangifera indica L.) reduced lipotoxicity induced by high doses of sodium palmitate (PA) in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Mango peel (MPE) and mango seed (MSE) extracts significantly lowered PA-induced fat accumulation by reducing lipid droplet (LDs) and triacylglycerol (TAGs) content in adipocytes. We showed that MPE a…
