Consumption of spices and ethnic contamination in the daily diet of Italians - consumers’ preferences and modification of eating habits

2021

AbstractCurrently, consumers appear to have diversified characteristics with regard to food tastes and consumption habits. The globalization of markets and the migration phenomenon contributed to the modification of food preferences of consumers who gradually introduce into their eating habits foods and recipes typical of the tradition of foreign countries. In this scenario, also in Italy, it is going to increase the use of “foreign products” with the consequent fusion of traditional cuisine techniques and recipes with ingredients that are typical of foreign countries and cultures. Foods and ingredients originally consumed in Asian or South American countries are increasingly consumed by It…

Herbal medicinal products - Evidence and tradition from a historical perspective.

2017

Abstract Background Aside from the fully licensed herbal medicines there are products on the European pharmaceutical market which are registered by virtue of their longstanding traditional use. The normal registration procedure does not apply to them because presently they do not meet the legal requirements for a full license as set out in the relevant European Union Directive. One of these requirements, “proof of tradition”, has so far been dealt with in different ways and fails to meet the criteria of good practice. Method This analysis is based on a selective literature search in PubMed and in databases of medical and pharmaceutical history, interviews with licensing experts, a consensus…

The Brain, Memory, and Oral Tradition in Music

2009

Recent studies of the brain in various subfields have shown that memory is really a type of re-creation—piecing together many elements stored separately. Memory, creativity and their connections have been focal points in cognitive studies of music, but seldom have they been approached from the vantage point of music in oral tradition, which is the primary mode of transmitting music in the world. This paper argues that the oral transmission of music provides a fertile ground for learning about memory and creativity and their connections. Traditional musicians often know hundreds of tunes and are ready to perform them at a moment’s notice—but seldom in exactly the same way. Depending upon the…

Microbial diversity of traditional Sicilian cheeses

2017

Traditional Sicilian cheeses are manufactured in small size farms with raw milk from animals of indigenous breeds and without the addition of starter cultures. In order to transform milk into cheese, the presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is required. The main sources of desirable LAB are generally the milk, the rennet, the equipment used during processing and the dairy environment. In the last years, the microbial characterisation of traditional Sicilian cheeses, such as Caciocavallo Palermitano, Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Pecorino Siciliano and PDO Vastedda della valle del Belìce have been the object of different studies conducted by our research group. To this purpose, the…

“Tradizione” e tradizioni nell’opera di Mircea Eliade

2020

È noto come Mircea Eliade, uno tra i più interessanti e produttivi storici delle religioni del ’900, si sia interessato allo studio delle tradizioni popolari europee. Dalla leggenda di Mastro Manole alle credenze e ai riti legati alla Mandragora e a certe altre piante d’uso magico-medico, dalla stregoneria alle associazioni iniziatiche, ai testi e ai riti di questua di capodanno, numerose sono, in particolare, le sue indagini sul folklore slavo-balcanico. Basti scorrere il testo e guardare alla bibliografia della sua opera più nota, il “Trattato di storia delle religioni”, per rilevare il ruolo, tutt’altro che marginale, assegnato dallo studioso rumeno ai documenti folklorici e etnologici a…

¿Es el cine japonés un cine nacional?

2018

Resumen 
 La construcción del cine japonés como cine nacional ha partido a menudo de una visión esencialista que ha ignorado la dimensión transnacional de esta filmografía. Por un lado, el descubrimiento occidental de ciertos autores japoneses en los años cincuenta condujo a la articulación del paradigma del cine nacional japonés a partir de películas dirigidas a asombrar al público europeo con imágenes exóticas de Japón. Los grandes maestros, Kurosawa, Mizoguchi y Ozu fueron escogidos como representantes de una supuesta japonesidad cinematográfica ignorando el peso de Occidente en sus obras. Por otro lado, el estudio de este corpus tradicionalmente ha evolucionado con herramientas teó…

Nutritional profile of Ager cheese selection

2021

Food labels are the main method to ensure that consumers are appropriately informed as regards the food they consume. In Europe, the provision of food information to consumers is regulated by specific laws, including (i) the European Regulation (EU) no 1169/2011, which regulates the mandatory food information including a list of mandatory particulars and nutritional declarations and (ii) the European Regulation (CE) no 1924/2006, concerning the voluntary nutrition and health claims (NHC) made on foods. Nutrient profiling involves the classification and ranking of foods according to their nutritional composition to prevent disease and promote health. For this purpose, the following 14 cheese…
