No doubt, the leap into internationalization will take the Andalusian agricultural industry to success rates that are comparable to those of the domestic market. Quality, variety and innovation are our best advertisement. LANDALUZ President Manuel Jurado Toro Editorial ANDALUSIAN FLAVOUR 7 words Andalusia is, of all the regions in Spain, the largest in terms of population and the second largest in size. Together with tourism, the main source of wealth in Andalusia is from agricultural products. When it comes to exports, Andalusian is a national leader in comparison to other regions of the country. The Andalusian Regional Government supports the internationalization of companies located in the region as one of its highest priorities for the economy. Therefore, a wide variety of products and services are exported, as well as overseas that integrates more than one consolidation of brands, the investments. hundred companies, which acts as involvement of the producer and an official negotiator and is exporter in the distribution EXTENDA, Trade Promotion particularly concerned about the channels, the demand for Agency of Andalusia, carries out quality of their products, greatly guarantees of quality and safety for these internationalization policies. facilitates the execution of specific the consumer, with endorsed This entity works together with the actions aimed at promoting these controls for the traceability of the regional Government and the products. product.

Due to this, it is fundamental to have and follow a well prepared strategy when exporting and, for that reason, EXTENDA and LANDALUZ also collaborate in actions involving dissemination, information, and training of managers and directors who are interested in approaching the difficult but captivating challenge of internationalization. From here, I would like to confirm the recognition deserved by those who, from the public sector, have been working on the development of LANDALUZ with its associate companies and I wish overwhelming success to everyone who is working on this ambitious project of promoting the quality of Andalusian food products abroad.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Literary Themes of the Poetry of Mu ḥammad ibn Dāwūd al-Iṣfah ānī in Kit āb al-Zahra A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the Department of Semitic and Egyptian Languages and Literatures School of Arts and Sciences Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © All Rights Reserved By Jennifer Tobkin Washington, D.C. 2011 Literary Themes of the Poetry of Mu ḥammad ibn Dāwūd al-Iṣfah ānī in Kit āb al-Zahra Jennifer Tobkin, Ph.D. Director: Sidney H. Griffith, S.T., Ph.D. Mu ḥammad ibn D āwūd al-Iṣfah ānī (d. 297/909) was a judge of the Ẓāhirite madhhab of Islamic law, but his only surviving work is Kit āb al-Zahra ( The Book of the Flower ), an anthology of poetry, including some of Ibn D āwūd’s own poems. The biographical tradition names Ibn D āwūd’s motivation for writing Kit āb al-Zahra and his poetry therein as his unrequited love for a male friend, and this love story became much more famous than the poetry Ibn D āwūd actually wrote. This dissertation argues that the subject of Ibn D āwūd’s poetry was not erotic love as is typically described in love poetry, but brotherhood ( ikh ā’), friendship among males of similar age and social status, which was frequently a topic of discussion in `Abb āsid literature, although Ibn D āwūd may be the only poet of the Arabic language to make it the central theme of his work.

  • Novel Non-Cerevisiae Saccharomyces Yeast Species Used in Beer and Alcoholic Beverage Fermentations
    fermentation Review Novel Non-Cerevisiae Saccharomyces Yeast Species Used in Beer and Alcoholic Beverage Fermentations James Bruner * and Glen Fox * Food Science and Technology, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] (J.B.); [email protected] (G.F.) Received: 28 October 2020; Accepted: 22 November 2020; Published: 24 November 2020 Abstract: A great deal of research in the alcoholic beverage industry was done on non-Saccharomyces yeast strains in recent years. The increase in research interest could be attributed to the changing of consumer tastes and the search for new beer sensory experiences, as well as the rise in popularity of mixed-fermentation beers. The search for unique flavors and aromas, such as the higher alcohols and esters, polyfunctional thiols, lactones and furanones, and terpenoids that produce fruity and floral notes led to the use of non-cerevisiae Saccharomyces species in the fermentation process. Additionally, a desire to invoke new technologies and techniques for making alcoholic beverages also led to the use of new and novel yeast species. Among them, one of the most widely used non-cerevisiae strains is S. pastorianus, which was used in the production of lager beer for centuries. The goal of this review is to focus on some of the more distinct species, such as those species of Saccharomyces sensu stricto yeasts: S. kudriavzevii, S. paradoxus, S. mikatae, S. uvarum, and S. bayanus. In addition, this review discusses other Saccharomyces spp. that were used in alcoholic fermentation. Most importantly, the factors professional brewers might consider when selecting a strain of yeast for fermentation, are reviewed herein.
