Effects of adding solid and molten chocolate on the physicochemical, antioxidant, microbiological, and sensory properties of ewe's milk cheese.
2020
Abstract: A novel dairy product, namely “chocolate cheese”, was produced with two typical Sicilian food products: Pecorino cheese, processed from ewe's milk, and Modica chocolate. The cheese, manufactured with 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% (w/w) solid or molten chocolate, was evaluated after 0, 2, 4, and 6 weeks of vacuum storage for its nutritional and health properties. The addition of chocolate reduced the pH, protein, fat, and ash; the addition of 5% or 10% molten chocolate reduced hardness (N/mm2). The addition of either solid or molten chocolate resulted in a slight increase (P < 0.1038) in the total polyphenol content, a higher oleic acid content, and less oxidative stability. The microbio…
Bitter taste genetics and food preference in italian population
2010
Objective: To investigate the possible role of the polymorphic bitter taste gene, TAS2R38, known to be involved in the perception of the bitter synthetic chemical phenylthiocarbamide (PTC), in influencing food preference and body mass index(BMI). Methods: up to now more than 1500 university students (17-25 years old) at Catania, Cosenza, Rome, Palermo, Pisa, Parma, Chieti, Trento University have been enrolled in the study. DNA was extracted from saliva, and genotyped by TaqMan assay for the most frequent polymorphism (PAV/AVI) of TAS2R38 gene. A possible association between genotype and food preference was assessed by administering a detailed questionnaire for food preferences and life styl…
Study of green Sicilian table olive fermentations through microbiological, chemical and sensory analyses.
2010
The production of five different green table olive cultivars was studied by a combined strategy consisting of chemical, microbiological and sensory analyses. Cultivable microflora of samples collected during processing was monitored by plate counts on seven synthetic culture media. In all samples Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonaceae, staphylococci, lactic acid bacteria and spore-forming bacteria were undetectable. Yeasts and moulds were countable from the day 42 (2 log CFU/ml) till the end of fermentation (6 log CFU/ml). The use of three different approaches for microorganism detection, including a culture-independent methodology, revealed the presence of barely three yeast species during the…
Pre-conventions. A fragment of the Background
2016
In this paper I argue that there exist conventions of a peculiar sort which are neither norms nor regularities of behaviour, partaking of both. I proceed as follows. After a brief analysis of the meaning of ‘convention’, I give some examples of the kind of phenomena I have in mind: bodily skills, know-how, taste and style, habitus (P. Bourdieu), “disciplines” (M. Foucault). Then I group some arguments supporting my claim: (i) considerations about the identity conditions of precedents (D. Lewis) and about the projectibility of predicates in inductive inference generally (N. Goodman); (ii) thoughts about rule-following (L. Wittgenstein); (iii) an examination of some of J. R. Searle’s ideas ab…
Torre del Greco, villa marittima in contrada Sora: 65. Statua di Satiro
2019
Si presenta il più noto reperto scultoreso dalla Villa di Contrada Sora a Torre del Greco, sondata per cunicoli dall'allora principe ereditario della dinastia borbonica, al cui seguito il reperto giunse a Palermo all'epoca della fuga della famiglia reale per l'avanzata francese. Il Satiro, una delle migliori repliche del celeberrimo Satiro Versante di Prassitele, consente di individuare alcune specificità della rielaborazione copistica rispondenti al gusto del facoltoso committente della costa vesuviana.
Oltre il gusto barocco: note su un ipotetico intreccio romano tra Robert Adam e Giuseppe Venanzio Marvuglia (1755-1759)
2020
Il saggio approfondisce il tema delle relazioni professionali nel corso della formazione romana del principale architetto del neoclassicismo siciliano, Giuseppe Venanzio Marvuglia (1729-1814). L’occasione nasce dallo studio analitico di un disegno attribuito all’architetto palermitano a confronto con un progetto dello studio di Robert Adam (1728-1792) conservato presso la Soane’s Collection di Londra. Il testo ripercorre le principali tappe della progettazione marvugliana nel passaggio dal tardo barocco al neoclassicismo, individuando tra le altre cose, per la prima volta, il modello di riferimento per villa Villarosa a Bagheria e portando all’attenzione quanto la rinomanza dell’architetto …
Elogio del Jommelli
2022
Saverio Mattei (1742-1795) had a multifaceted personality. Born in Calabria but educated in Naples, he devoted himself to law and held important administrative positions. At the same time, he cultivated numerous cultural interests with inexhaustible enthusiasm: he was a translator of biblical psalms, a theorist of classical and modern dramaturgy, an author and reviser of librettos, a correspondent of Pietro Metastasio and the founder of the music library of the Conservatorio della Pietà de’ Turchini. His "Elogio del Jommelli o sia Il progresso della poesia e della musica teatrale" was printed for the first time in 1784 and published again one year later with a few but interesting variants. …
Ventastega curonica and the origin of tetrapod morphology.
2008
The gap in our understanding of the evolutionary transition from fish to tetrapod is beginning to close thanks to the discovery of new intermediate forms such as Tiktaalik roseae. Here we narrow it further by presenting the skull, exceptionally preserved braincase, shoulder girdle and partial pelvis of Ventastega curonica from the Late Devonian of Latvia, a transitional intermediate form between the 'elpistostegids' Panderichthys and Tiktaalik and the Devonian tetrapods (limbed vertebrates) Acanthostega and Ichthyostega. Ventastega is the most primitive Devonian tetrapod represented by extensive remains, and casts light on a part of the phylogeny otherwise only represented by fragmentary ta…
