  • The Effect of Wheat Bran on the Chemical Composition, Texture, and Oxidative Stability of Beef Meatballs
    Daniela Ianiţchi, Liliana Aurelia Bădulescu, Paula Poşan, Elena Narcisa Pogurschi, Monica Paula Marin, et al.
    Foods, 2026
    The use of wheat bran (WB) to obtain functional meat products is a concept to be studied, due to sustainability issues and the nutritional advantages related to the decrease in caloric value, and the intake of phytonutrients, which can limit the incidence of diseases such as obesity, diabetes, or colon cancer. Beef meatballs with added wheat bran (5, 10, and 15%) were analyzed in terms of their physico-chemical parameters: pH, proximal composition, fiber content, caloric value and texture, antioxidant activity, fatty acids, amino acids, mineral content, and peroxide value. The fiber concentration in the meatballs increased proportionally with the WB addition. Although the antioxidant activity of the meatballs with WB was higher at the time of sample production, their stability proved to be weaker over time. The addition of wheat bran resulted in an overall decrease in amino acid concentrations and an increase in polyunsaturated fatty acid concentrations from 9.32 g/100 g to 14.36 g/100 g. For Mg, Ca, Mn, Cu, and Cr, there were significant increases between groups (p < 0.001), while Na and Zn decreased with the addition of wheat bran. The peroxide value (PV) and free acidity (FFA) decreased with the increase in the proportion of added fiber. The increase in the percentage of wheat bran also generated significant reductions (p < 0.001) for all textural parameters investigated. Including wheat bran in meatballs can present technical challenges related to composition cohesion and product shaping, as well as sensory acceptance. At the industrial scale, problems may arise related to the processing equipment, and the shaping of meatballs becoming difficult with the increased wheat bran addition.
  • Socio-Demographic Correlates of Basic Food Needs: A Maslow’s Hierarchy Analysis
    Nicoleta Defta, Andreea Barbu, Violeta Alexandra Ion, Livia Vidu, Elena Peț, et al.
    Foods, 2026
    Nutrition is a fundamental aspect of consumer behavior, closely linked to the satisfaction of basic household needs and strategies for purchasing food products. This study aimed to examine how fundamental food needs—specifically survival (daily food) and food security (food stocks)—shape purchasing behaviors, enabling the identification of vulnerable consumer segments and the delineation of patterns useful for producers and retailers. Data were collected through a cross-sectional survey (N = 1060) and analyzed using the Rao &amp; Scott-adjusted Pearson chi-square test (R, version 4.4.3), considering key socio-demographic factors including gender, age, educational level, marital status, residence, and income. Results indicate that gender, age, and education significantly influence food purchases driven by the need for food security, whereas marital status is a significant factor only for survival-related purchases. Differences observed in other contexts were not statistically significant. Additionally, two multinomial logistic regression models were developed to predict consumer food purchases driven by fundamental needs, demonstrating high explanatory power. Each socio-demographic factor emerged as a significant predictor for at least one response category on the Likert scale, and the relative influence of each predictor was quantified. These models provide actionable insights for marketing strategies, including the identification of optimal store locations and the adjustment, diversification, or optimization of product ranges based on the characteristics of specific consumer segments and geographic areas.

  • Exploring the Relationship Between Socio-Demographic Factors and Consumers’ Perception of Food Promotions in Romania
    Nicoleta Defta, Andreea Barbu, Violeta Alexandra Ion, Elena Narcisa Pogurschi, Aurelia Osman, et al.
    Foods, 2025
    In the context of economic crises and inflationary pressures, consumers often rely on discounted food products to manage their monthly budgets. This study aims to explore how socio-demographic factors are associated with Romanian consumers’ perception of food promotions. Data were collected from 1060 respondents, and the analysis was conducted using R version 4.4.2, applying both descriptive and inferential statistical methods, including Pearson’s chi-square test and multinomial logistic regression. The Pearson’s chi-square test revealed significant differences in consumer responses based on all socio-demographic factors examined, except for residence. Males, married individuals, those with higher education, and higher net incomes were generally more cautious about promotions, while younger consumers (aged 18–24) showed greater receptiveness. The multinomial logistic regression further identified significant predictors and estimated their impact on consumers’ perception of food promotions. We found that gender, marital status, education level, and age were strong predictors, while income had only a quadratic impact, and residence showed no statistically significant outcome. These findings offer valuable insights for shaping marketing strategies and highlight the role of socio-demographic factors in shaping consumer perceptions toward food promotions.

  • Detection of Ochratoxin A in Maize and Its Potential Impact on Avian Pathology in Romanian Farms
    Silviu-Ionut Beia, Violeta Alexandra Ion, Elvira Gagniuc, Oana-Crina Bujor, Elena Ştefania Ivan, et al.
    Life, 2024
    Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a nephrotoxic mycotoxin that commonly contaminates maize, posing significant health risks to both poultry and humans. In this study, a rapid and sensitive method utilizing ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with fluorescence detection (UPLC-FLD) was developed for the quantification of OTA levels in maize. The method utilizes immunoaffinity column purification for improved specificity. Accuracy and precision were validated in line with European Union Reference Laboratory (EURL-MP) guidelines, meeting regulatory standards for linearity, trueness, detection and quantification limits, precision, and uncertainty, as per European Commission Regulation (EC) No. 401/2006 and its amendments. The method demonstrated an average recovery rate of 116.78% for maize, with RSDwR values (within-laboratory reproducibility) of 12.72%. Furthermore, OTA occurrence and its possible effects were investigated in several farms in South Romania, where necropsy and histopathological analyses of poultry revealed severe kidney damage, including renal tubular degeneration.
  • Preparation, Characterization, and Testing of Compost Tea Derived from Seaweed and Fish Residues
    Andrei Moț, Oana Cristina Pârvulescu, Violeta Alexandra Ion, Ailin Moloșag, Aurora Dobrin, et al.
    Agronomy, 2024
    Non-aerated compost tea (CT) was prepared from compost derived from rockweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) and fish (cod, common ling, haddock, saithe) residues that fermented in water. Electrical conductivity, pH, concentrations of dry matter, ash, C, macronutrients (N, P, K, Ca, and Mg), and micronutrients (Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, and Zn) of CT prepared under different fermentation conditions were measured. The effects of process factors, i.e., water/compost mass ratio (4.2–9.8 g/g) and fermentation time (4.2–9.8 days = 100–236 h), on the physicochemical properties of CT were quantified using quadratic polynomial models. CT obtained at optimal levels of process factors (4.2 g/g and 5.6 days = 134 h) was tested for lettuce seed germination and seedling growth. Diluted CT (25% CT + 75% ultrapure water) improved seedling growth while achieving a high germination percentage (97%).
  • Assessment of Aseptic and Non-Aseptic Systems’ Influence on Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) Microplants
    Oana Livadariu, Carmen Gabriela Constantin, Oana-Alina Boiu-Sicuia, Aurora Dobrin, Violeta Alexandra Ion
    Plants, 2024
    Considering the current global climate and demographic conditions, combined with the growing demand for food diversification, the need for innovative functional foods that adhere to the principles of the circular economy is becoming clear. Therefore, this research aims to identify an appropriate cultivation system and growth substrate to maintain a high germination rate and produce basil aromatic microplants with superior quality traits that are entirely edible, together with the substrate. Microplants were grown in both aseptic (AS) and non-aseptic (NAS) systems. Both AS and NAS experiments were conducted in vitro using eco-innovative production technology. Moreover, various growth substrates were tested, such as perlite, agar, banana peel, peat, and their combinations. The analyses focused on the germination capacity, morphometric measurements, and biochemical analyses of the microplants. The results showed that the edible agar-based substrate, used in both AS and NAS, increased the germination capacity up to 95.00 ± 0.30%, while peat provided a germination capacity of only 12.07 ± 1.27% under AS conditions and 6.07 ± 0.35% under NAS conditions. Most biochemical analyses indicated that AS conditions are more suitable for basil microplant production, increasing the dry matter content, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and total antioxidant capacity compared to NAS conditions. These findings support the adoption of a new eco-innovative technology that provides organic basil microplants, which are fully usable along with the edible agar substrate.
  • Suitability of Residues from Seaweed and Fish Processing for Composting and as Fertilizer
    Joshua Cabell, Susanne Eich-Greatorex, Violeta Alexandra Ion, Tore Krogstad, Sevasti Matsia, et al.
    Sustainability Switzerland, 2024
    There is a need to find novel sources of fertilizers to meet the increasing food demands of a growing human population and alternatives to mined and synthetic fertilizers for the certified organic sector. Composting is a common method for processing and stabilizing organic residues for use in horticulture. To that end, a small-scale composting experiment with six combinations of dried and ground rockweed (Ascophyllum nodosum), algae fiber from chemically processed rockweed, ground bones and fishmeal from cod (Gadus morhua), and ground blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) was conducted in Dewar flasks to assess whether these residues are suitable for composting and have potential for use as fertilizers. Expanded clay aggregates were used as a bulking material. Physicochemical analyses were performed on the residues and their mixtures before and after composting, and the temperature in the flasks was monitored for 92 days. Suitability was determined by evaluating the temperature dynamics, changes in physiochemical parameters, and nutrient profiles. All treatments generated heat, with reductions in C/N ratio, weight, and volume, demonstrating suitability for composting. The treatments with algae fiber had a higher mean temperature (34.5 vs. 29.0 °C) and more degree days above the thermophilic range (mean = 176- vs. 19-degree days), the greatest reduction in volume (mean = 35% vs. 27%), and the lowest C/N ratios at the end of active composting (18 vs. 24) compared to the treatments with dried and ground seaweed. In terms of fertilizer value, none of the finished composts were balanced for use as fertilizers alone and, in some cases, contained too much Na, but contained sufficient concentrations of K, S, Mg, and Ca and could be a valuable source of these nutrients and organic matter in combination with other N- and P-rich sources.
