The innovative exploitation of Brassica vegetables in the production of quality food for health. From lab bench to field and fork.
PublicationThe specific chemical composition of vegetables belonging to Brassicaceace , as regard both nutrients and non-nutrients, renders them particularly suitable for the health food production chain. The ability of these plants to accumulate heavy metals may be utilised for phytoremediation of arable soils, but also as a vehicle to fortify foods in micronutriens such as selenium. The bioactive organosulfur compounds, especially glucosinolates...

Wave Method for Structural Health Monitoring: Testing Using Full-Scale Shake Table Experiment Data
PublicationAn algorithm of the wave method for structural health monitoring (SHM) is tested and calibrated using shake table experiment data of a full-scale, seven-story, reinforced-concrete building slice. The method is based on monitoring changes in the velocity of waves propagating vertically through the structure, identified by least-squares (LSQ) fit of beam models. The experiment was conducted by a team from the University of California,...

The correlation between nutritional and health potential and antioxidant properties of raw edible oils from cultivated and wild plants
PublicationThe nutritional properties and health potential of oils from 15 various cultivated and wild plants were investigated on the basis of the fatty acids profiles, total carotenoids and tocopherols content, antioxidant properties and health potential indexes such as atherogenicity index (AI). The oil contents of the plants varied between 0.9 g/100 g for lychee seeds and 29.7 g/100 g for borage seeds. The tocopherol content in oils ranged...
