Microbial dynamics in durum wheat kernels during aging

2020

In the present work the microbial dynamics in wheat kernels were evaluated over time. The main aim of this research was to study the resistance of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts associated to unprocessed cereals used for bread making during long term conservation. To this purpose four Triticum durum Desf. genotypes including two modern varieties (Claudio and Simeto) and two Sicilian wheat landraces (Russello and Timilia) were analysed by a combined culture-independent and -dependent microbiological approach after one, two or three years from cultivation and threshing. DNA based MiSeq Illumina technology was applied to reveal the entire bacterial composition of all semolina samples. T…

Le varietà di grano duro più vocate al biologico

2016

Nella stagione 2015-2016 sono stati realizzati 12 campi, localizzati in 9 regioni e aggregati in tre macroareali: Sud-Isole (5 campi), versante Tirrenico dell’Italia Centrale (3 campi), versante Adriatico dell’Italia Centrale e Nord (4 campi). In tutti i campi sono state messe a confronto 22 varietà, di cui 1 (Orizzonte) al primo anno di prova, utilizzando uno schema sperimentale a blocchi randomizzati con 3 o 4 ripetizioni. Tutte le cultivar sono state fornite non conciate dalle ditte sementiere (la scheda agronomica delle prove e i principali rilievi eseguiti sono onsultabili all’indirizzo internet riportato in fondo all’articolo).

Le varietà di grano duro per le semine 2014: Sicilia.

2014

La rete di prove di confronto varietale di grano duro, condotta in Siclia con il coordinamento del CRA-ACM, ha previsto nell’annata 2013-2014 l’allestimento di 4 campi in differenti ambienti: Libertinia (Catania), Catania, Cammarata e S. Stefano Quisquina (Agrigento). Fra le sette varietà al primo anno di valutazione, emergono le performance di Antalis, che ha manifestato ottima capacità produttiva, precocita’ di spigatura, buone caratteristiche merceologiche, contenuto proteico medio e buona resistenza alle malattie.

Grano duro 2019: Italia divisa in due per rese e qualità. Dettaglio regionale dei risultati 2019: Sicilia.

2019

Nell’annata agraria 2018-2019 la Rete nazionale di valutazione delle varietà di frumento duro, coordinata dal CREA, ha previsto l’allestimento in Sicilia di quattro campi sperimentali, realizzati nei seguenti ambienti: Libertinia (Catania), Catania, S. Stefano Quisquina (Agrigento) e Caltagirone (Catania). Irisultati di quest’annata agraria hanno mostrato risposte produttive interessanti di diverse nuove varietà che, al primo anno di valutazione nella Rete nazionale, si affacciano sul mercato sementiero del frumento duro. Tali risultati andranno verificati nelle successive stagioni colturali.

A novel alpha-amylase-lipase formulation as anti-staling agent in durum wheat bread

2016

The aim of this work has been to evaluate the anti-staling effect exerted by a novel α-amylase-lipase enzyme formulation on durum wheat bread, in comparison with four different commercial amylase preparations and with control without added enzymes. Bread-making trials were carried out at industrial level. Sliced bread, packed under modified atmosphere, was analyzed for texture profile, moisture content, and water activity during 90 days. Crumb sections were submitted to environmental scanning electron microscopy at the end of the storage period. The α-amylase-lipase enzyme preparation showed synergistic interactions in preventing staling. In particular, bread added of these two enzymes in m…

Hemp Flour Particle Size Affects the Quality and Nutritional Profile of the Enriched Functional Pasta

2023

The rheological and chemical quality of pasta samples, which were obtained using the durum wheat semolina fortified with the hemp seed solid residue, after oil extraction, sieved at 530 μm (Hemp 1) or 236 μm (Hemp 2) at different percentages of substitution (5%, 7.5%, and 10%, were evaluated. The total polyphenolic content in hemp flour was quantified in the range of 6.38–6.35 mg GAE/g, and free radical scavenging was included in the range from 3.94–3.75 mmol TEAC/100 g in Hemp 1 and Hemp 2, respectively. The phenolic profiles determined by UHPLC-ESI/QTOF-MS showed that cannabisin C, hydroxycinnamic and protocatechuic acids were the most abundant phenolic compounds in both…

Crop rotation, nitrogen fertilization and genotype effects on durum wheat productive characteristics

2004

A field trial was performed in 2000/01 and 2001/02 in the experimental farm “Sparacia” (Cammarata – AG – Sicily) in order to evaluate the qualitative and quantitative response of four varieties of durum wheat when grown after a legume crop (field pea) or in rotation with itself and when submitted to different N-fertilization levels: no fertilization (N0, control), 60 kg ha-1 (N 60, rate advised by the EC n. 2078/92 for the Sicilian territory) and 120 kg ha-1 (N 120, fertilization rate commonly used under the “traditional” cropping technique). In the first trial year, the fertilized trial expressed a better yield performance than the control, but in 2001/02, characterized by severe and prolo…
