    Sweet cherries (Prunus avium L.), members of the Rosaceae family, are a rich source of sugar, proteins, and phenolic compounds, such as anthocyanins and quercetin. Their highly seasonal character and high moisture content make them perishable, necessitating preservation methods to extend shelf life and minimize losses while preserving nutritional and organoleptic quality. Drying is a...

    Numerous studies have provided evidence for the beneficial impact of Virgin Olive Oil (VOO) on metabolic health. Current research on VOO's beneficial effects aims to define its activity on emerging factors contributing to metabolic disorders such as metabolic syndrome, obesity, or type 2 diabetes. These factors include inflammation, oxidative stress, platelet aggregation, coagulation,...

    Oral presentation - in person

    The use of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in Morocco is still limited to food and feed despite the amplified demand by local industries for imported malt. This study aims to evaluate 36 barley elite lines for major grain physicochemical parameters and malt quality traits. Analysis of variance, Pearson correlation, principal component analysis (PCA), and hierarchical cluster...
