“…From a nutritional point of view, attention mainly has been focused on essential trace elements, e.g., Fe, Ca, Cu, and Zn (Kashian and Fathivand, 2015). Another important issue is food safety, which is a major public health concern worldwide and food consumption has been identified as the major pathway for human exposure to environmental contaminants; accounting for over 90% of intake compared to inhalation or dermal routes of exposure (Fries, 1995).…”

Cereal-based foods have great importance in the compensation of micro- and trace element deficiency, because 50% of the foods produced worldwide are made up of cereal grains. The aim of the research was to determine the concentration of macro-elements and trace elements in different cereals cultivated in Latvia. Various cereals were used in the research: rye (n = 45), barley (n = 54), spring wheat (n = 27), winter wheat (n = 53), triticale (n = 45) and oats (n = 42). Thirteen macro- and trace elements (Cd, Pb, Ni, Cr, Al, Cu, K, Na, Mn, Fe, Zn, Mg, Ca) were determined in cereal grain samples (n = 266). Macro-elements and trace elements varied significantly (p < 0.01 or p < 0.001). The highest concentrations of macro- and trace elements were found in oats and the lowest in rye. The obtained data will expand the opportunity for food and nutrition scientists to evaluate content of the examined elements in grain products, and dietary consumption (bioavailability) of the examined macro-elements and trace elements.

“…According to the literature, the most crucial of them include type of soil and climate. Furthermore, issues related to crops, phase of plant development, maturity are of importance (Smith et al, 2012).The contents of elements in plant material is significant mainly due to food aspects concerning the contents of macro and micro elements and, in particular, such elements as: Fe, Ca, Cu and Zn (Kashian and Fathivand, 2015, Kozak et al, 2016. Within own tests, from amongst the indicated elements, only copper (Cu) occurred below the limit of traceability (0.001 ppm).…”

EU forestry does not currently have automatic planters, hence the project proposes to develop an innovative technology in which the key role will be played by an autonomous planter designed for establishing forest cultures and afforestation of former farmland and reclaimed areas with the use of seedlings with a covered root system (grown in container nurseries). The device will have a self-levelling traction system, a control system with a satellite navigation module to support autonomous navigation and planting site selection, a mechanism of planting spot preparation, a planting unit, an intelligent robotic arm to feed seedlings from containers to the planting unit according to a given algorithm, a container storage unit with an automated feeder, a drive unit with an electro-hydraulic control system, a control module, and a wireless remote control system. The autonomous planter will significantly reduce the cost and machine inputs during establishing forest cultures and afforestation of former farmland and reclaimed areas with the use of seedlings with a covered root system, and thus perfectly fits into the assumptions of agriculture 4.0.

“…In addition, it is important to note that some minerals, such as Ca, Fe, Cu, or Zn, are the most essential trace elements and minerals and are necessary for human growth, enzymatic reactions, and metabolic activities (39), as well as for the metabolism of the GM (40). Usually, the consumption of Ca, Fe, Cu, and Zn is below the recommended levels (41,42). The results of this work show that 100 g of S. japonica provided 202, 33, 17, and 17% of the minimum daily requirements for Ca, Fe, Cu, and Zn, respectively (43).…”

Two brown seaweeds (Saccharina japonica and Undaria pinnatifida) were characterized in terms of their nutritional and mineral composition, as well as their potential to modify the human gut microbiota. Nutritional analysis of these seaweeds showed that they comply with the criteria set out in European legislation to be labeled “low fat,” “low sugar,” and “high fiber.” Mineral content analysis showed that 100 g of seaweed provided more than 100% of the daily Ca requirements, as well as 33–42% of Fe, 10–17% of Cu, and 14–17% of Zn requirements. An in vitro human digest simulator system was used to analyze the effect of each seaweed on the human colonic microbiota. The gut microbiota was characterized by 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and short-chain fatty-acid analysis. Seaweed digestion and fermentation showed beneficial effects, such as a decrease in the phylum Firmicutes and an increase in the phyla Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria. At the species level, seaweed fermentation increased the proportion of beneficial bacteria such as Parabacteroides distasonis and Bifidobacterium. Regarding of metabolic pathways, no significant differences were found between the two seaweeds, but there were significant differences concerning to the baseline. An increase in short-chain fatty-acid content was observed for both seaweeds with respect to the negative control, especially for acetic acid. Given of the obtained results, S. japonica and U. pinnatifida intake are promising and could open new opportunities for research and application in the fields of nutrition and human health.
