Changes in Mineral Profile of Portulaca oleracea L. Under Foliar Treatment with Sodium Selenate
The mineral composition of edible plants often changes as a result of selenium biofortification, which affects plant species tolerance and adaptability to Se supply, as well as nutritional value. To reveal the peculiarities of macro- and microelements in root–leaf–seed distributi...

Recoverable vegetable wastes for the degradation of dyes from wastewater
Food waste is a significant problem globally, with considerable economic and social impact, with estimates suggesting that approximately one-third of products are wasted annually along the supply chain. This waste not only takes up large spaces in landfills, but also contributes...

Consumers’ Attitudes Towards Functional Foods in the North-West Region of Romania (Transylvania)
Consumers have become more interested in leading better and higher quality lives, and have become more aware of the health effects nutrition has on their body, stimulating the development of functional foods (FF), recognized for their ability to provide physiological benefits tha...
