Rheological and nutritional profile of spaghetti and bread fortified with hemp flours
2022
In recent years, the demands of food consumers have changed considerably. Food today is not only intended to satisfy hunger and provide the necessary nutrients, but also to prevent food-related diseases and improve the physical and mental well-being of consumers. Functional foods are formulated to contain healthy components, which when consumed daily as part of the diet, can have beneficial health effects. Cereal-based products, especially pasta and bread, are well suited for adding nutrients. Both bread and pasta, traditionally produced using durum wheat flour, can be prepared also using "non-wheat flours" in variable percentages or by incorporating food by-products, capable of increasing …
La fabbrica del complesso ecclesiastico degli Olivetani
2019
Memorabile è la storia di questo monastero e della sua chiesa sia per i molti avvenimenti nella sua fondazione, sia per le varie mutazioni avvenute negli anni e nei secoli seguenti. I lavori iniziarono nel 1509, approvati con bolla pontificia di Papa Giulio II. Il complesso monumentale di Santa Maria dello Spasimo sorge nel cuore del Mandamento dei Tribunali, nel quartiere della Kalsa, ai bordi di quella che fu la cittadella araba (al-Halisah), per l’impegno di Jacopo Basilicò, che volle rispettare le volontà testamentarie della moglie di edificare una chiesa dedicata alla Madonna Addolorata. Il Basilicò per celebrarla degnamente, commissiona al grande Raffaello da Urbino, un dipinto raffig…
Per il sistema difensivo di Rodi "insigne monumento cioè di tutta la città murata"
2016
Tra la seconda metà del XIX sec. e l’inizio del XX sec. in Europa si assiste alla progressiva distruzione dei sistemi difensivi delle città, in quanto, oramai, considerati inutili ingombri rispetto ai motivi che li avevano originati. Delle fortificazioni delle città, solamente alcuni elementi furono conservati, come, ad esempio le porte urbiche e alcune torri. In particolare la città di Rodi, in Grecia, fino all’arrivo degli occupanti italiani, nel 1912, possedeva un sistema di fortificazioni formato da mura, bastioni, fossati e terrapieni. Quest’ultimi, dopo più di duecento anni, dalla conquista dello stato dei Cavalieri di Rodi, erano stati adibiti a cimiteri israeliani e musulmani. Con l…
Halaesa Arconidea (Tusa, Messina). Primi risultati dagli scavi delle fortificazioni, settore nord-est.
2023
This report describes the activities and results of two years of archaeological excavations carried out by the University of Palermo at the site of Halaesa, in northern Sicily. The excavations revealed the structure of the ancient city walls (maybe built in two different phases, during the Late Hellenistic/Early Roman peri-od) and the presence of a tank close to the wall, connected to the defense sistem.
Religiosi e “geometrie dell’impero”. Teorie e pratiche fortificatorie tra Mediterraneo e Atlantico
2018
Between the end of the fifteenth century and the beginning of the sixteenth, the changes in the military technology - mainly related to the spread of firearms - implied a re-elaboration of the fortification construction theories and, consequently, a practical experimentation aimed at the identification of architectural models capable to make the border areas safe and impregnable. Far from involving only a small circle of "men of arms", the debate about the “new art of the war” involved men whose formation can not be traced back to a specific type. Clearly emerges a fact: the involvement of ecclesiastics also as "technicians" for the design of defensive structures, was not a marginal phenome…
Persistence of a mixed lactic acid bacterial starter culture during lysine fortification of sourdough breads by addition of pistachio powder
2020
Abstract Pistachio powder was added to flour or semolina to evaluate its contribution to increase the amount of lysine in bread. Bread production was carried out by sourdough technology using a selected 3-species (Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis/Leuconostoc citreum/Weissella cibaria) lactic acid bacterial (LAB) starter culture. All sourdoughs were subjected to a long-time fermentation (21 h) and showed levels of LAB around 109 CFU/g, indicating the suitability of pistachio powder for lactic fermentation. Yeasts were also detected, in particular in semolina trials. MiSeq Illumina technology was applied to investigate the bacterial composition of sourdoughs evidencing a different distribution …
City gates of Augustodunum and their architectural models (Gaul, Italy, Western Provinces of the Roman Empire)
2012
Augustodunum, civitas Aeduorum, roman city founded under the reign of Augustus, was equipped with four roman city gates : the gate of Arroux and the gate of Saint André, both well preserved, the gate of Saint Andoche which sole remaining part is a flanking tower, and the gate of Rome, destroyed long ago.The heart of this study lies in the stratigraphic reading of those gates structure and in thoughts about the building site of Autun’s city gates operating process. Moreover, since the 16th century, antiquaries, travelers and artists have described in many ways their visits to the roman city gates of Autun. These accounts constitute a major documentary collection of written and iconographical…

Peroxydation des lipides émulsionnés et transfert d'ions fer à l'interface huile / eau stabilisée par des protéines de lait : influence des résidus p…
2010
Iron incorporated into food systems induces oxidation and precipitation. The consequences are a reduced bioavailability and a modification of other food flavor. The iron chelates such as Fe-bisglycinate and Fe-EDTA represent a possibility to avoid side effects, since the iron is protected. The inertety of Fe bisglycinate and NaFe EDTA for lipid peroxidation has been verified in oil-in-water emulsion models stabilized by sodium caseinate or by β lactoglobulin through the following studies: i/ increase of primary and secondary products of oxidation, ii/ change of the properties of the oil/water interface (tension and interfacial rheology), iii/ the stability of the chelate iron (Fe-bisglycina…
