Quality Changes of Tropical and Subtropical Fresh-Cut Fruits Mix in Modified Atmosphere Packaging
2017
Application of passive modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) for shelf life extension of mixed pineapple slices, mango pieces and orange segments, was evaluated. Fruits of Ananas cv ‘Gold’, Mango cv ‘Keitt’ and Orange cv ‘Washington Navel’ were washed, sanitized, peeled and cut. Minimal processed fruits were packed under 2 different atmospheres, passive (air) and active MAP (70% N2, 10 %O2, 20 %CO2), and stored at 10±1 °C with 85±5% RH for 12 days. Changes in package atmosphere composition, weight loss, color, texture, pH, soluble solids, sensory attributes, were evaluated after cutting and at three subsequent stages of storage (the 3 day, 6d, 9d, and the 12 day). Color parameters L* and b* s…
Anti-adipogenic potential of bio-waste products of Sicilian mango in 3T3-L1 cells
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…
Le armi dal santuario di contrada Mango a Segesta
2022
The research focuses on weapons coming from the extra-urban sanctuary of contrada Mango in Segesta, investigated between the fifties and sixties of the 20th century. The study illustrates the types and chronology of the »indigenous« and Greek weapons (mainly defensive) attested in the sanctuary, and clarifies and discusses the location of the finds (along the south, north and east peribolos walls). Finally, the research tries to understand the function and role of the weapons in the sacred area. This category of votives is also interpreted in the light of other findings from the sanctuary that refer to war, mainly some fragments of a Parian marble statue of Nike of the middle of the 5th cen…
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…
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…
Bio-Waste Products of Mangifera indica L. Reduce Adipogenesis and Exert Antioxidant Effects on 3T3-L1 Cells
2022
Several studies highlighted the beneficial value of natural compounds in the prevention and treatment of obesity. Here, we investigated the anti-obesity effects of extracts of peel and seed of mango (Mangifera indica L.) cultivated in Sicily (Italy) in 3T3-L1 cells. Mango Peel (MPE) and Mango Seed (MSE) extracts at a 100 µg/mL concentration significantly reduced lipid accumulation and triacylglycerol contents during 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation without toxicity. HPLC-ESI-MS analysis showed that both the extracts contain some polyphenolic compounds that can account for the observed biological effects. The anti-adipogenic effect of MPE and MSE was the result of down-regulation of th…

Innovative techniques to reduce chilling injuries in mango (Mangifera Indica L.) trees under mediterranean climate
2017
As a tropical tree, mango (Mangifera indica L.) cultivated in Mediterranean climate needs protection against low temperatures. The aim of this work is to study the effect of traditional individual protective canopy protection systems in comparison with innovative typologies designed for this experiment on the physiological response of young mango trees during the cold season. We selected 25 four-year-old mango trees cv ‘Glenn’. Trees were divided into five different groups: not covered trees (NC); trees with windbreak protection using a shading net (SN); trees with windbreak protection using non-woven sheets (WB); fully covered trees using non-woven sheets (FC); fully covered trees with non…
