“…We also have to consider the role of some intensive campaigns of information and education the population on how to feed and what type of food is recommended for a healthy life (or at least for reducing the risk of prevalent diseases in Romania: cardiovascular diseases [25][26][27][28][29], cancer [30-34], etc. ); the increased consumption of such products, such as vegetables and fruits (products containing antioxidants and that do not contain harmful fats or processed sugars), would be extremely beneficial to people's health and treatment, with a clear reflection of the decrease in the incidence of various diseases [35][36][37][38][39][40][41].…”

The study investigated the association between the frequency of sweetened beverages intake and body mass index, diet choices, hypertension, and glycaemia in 1158 individuals from north western Romania, aged between 20 and 39 years. We found a high prevalence (87.48%) of soda consumption. There was a linear correlation between the number of sweetened beverages servings/week and unhealthy lifestyle expressed as frequency of fast-food consumption. A significant statistical association was found between soda consumption and prevalence of high blood pressure and impaired fasting glycaemia. Individuals who did not consumed sweetened beverages, had a prevalence of impaired fasting glucose and hypertension of 6% and respectively 13%; those who consumed more than 8 servings/week had a prevalence of impaired fasting glucose and hypertension of 19%. Inappropriate nutrition (lack of fruits and vegetables in food, consumption of fats and processed sugars or added sugars beverages) have increased the incidence of chronic diseases. We consider that public health policies regarding soda consumption are required.

Thymus vulgaris essential oil is one of the most common oils used mainly in food industry but it could also have applications in medicine and pharmacy. The chemical composition of this essential oil depends on the plant material harvesting time, phenomenological stages, meteorological conditions and growing area of plants. In our study, four different Thymus vulgaris L. var. Donne Valley essential oils have been extracted and characterised. The essential oils have been extracted from plants before and after flowering in two different years. There is an important difference between the chemical composition of oils obtained from plants harvested before and after flowering. Thymol and carvacrol have been found as the major components, but the percentage depends on the phenological stages of the plants and the year of harvesting. Furthermore, the composition of the minor components changed.

“…This method is widely applied and is used for the quantitative evaluation of a set of sensorial properties (appearance, smell, taste, color, etc.) of food [11,12]. The first stage of the sensory method is to establish the team of evaluators (panel), by selection based on the questionnaire, followed by the training of the panel for the sensory evaluation of the products to be tested.…”

Grape seed flour from grape marc, a waste product obtained during winemaking, was analyzed for use in bread production due to its potential health benefits. This study evaluated the consumer acceptance and physical properties of bread made with varying quantities of grape seed flour. Dough and breads were prepared using different levels of replacement of wheat flour with grape seed flour (0 to 9 %). The method used for the research was that of the scoring scale, and the marks given by the 15 properly trained panelists indicated that a percentage of 5% grape seed flour by the indirect method leads to statistic characteristics close to those of black bread regarding Standard SR 878/1996.
