  • Viticulture: Table Wine and Grape Varieties
    New Agriculture for a New Generation: Recharging Greek Youth to Revitalize the Agriculture and Food Sector of the Greek Economy Viticulture, Table & Wine Grapes Varieties Coordinator: Dr. Christos Vasilikiotis, Assistant Professor Project Leader: Konstantinos Zoukidis, Adjunct Lecturer & Researcher Team members: Dr. Eleni Topalidou, Lecturer & Researcher Michalis Genitsariotis, Adjunct Lecturer & Researcher Dr. Ilias Kalfas, Researcher Executive summary Greece is experiencing the consequences of the hardest financial crisis of its history. The economic crisis in Greece, have a great impact on unemployment and as a result companies are out of business and many people especially young ones are unemployed. In addition, economic crisis, from one hand leads more and more people, special young people with many skills to leave from Greece to other countries and from the other hand, turns young unemployed people to the agricultural sector. The current project’s aim is to determine the potential of viticulture, table and grape varieties in Greece could be an answer for recharging youth and if this sector could improve the national economy and reverse this negative trend. Grape cultivation and wine making have a distinguished place in the history of Western civilization. The ancient Greeks gave an importance to wine, which greatly exceeded its role as a beverage. The production of wine and table grape has been an important part of Greek culture for many centuries. Nowadays Greece holds the 13th place on vineyard surface area. It is one of the first table grape producing (4th) countries in Europe, first producer of currants (Black Corinth) of the world production and eighth exported country in dried grapes worldwide.

  • ENCYCLOPEDIA of FOODS Part II
    ENCYCLOPEDIA OF FOODS Part II art I of this book reviewed the relationship of diet to health and provided recommenda- Ptions for choosing foods and planning diets that contribute to health. The healthiest diets are based on a variety of plant foods—whole grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes, and nuts. Animal products and added fats and oils, sugars, and other sweeteners are best consumed in small quantities. The Food Guide Pyramid reviewed earlier in this book graphically emphasizes the proportions of these foods in the daily diet. Accordingly, we have arranged this section with priority given to grains, fruits, and vegetables—those items that should predominate at every meal and that most people need to consume in greater quantities. Animal products—meat and other high-protein foods and dairy foods—are also discussed. However, these are the foods that should make up relatively smaller parts of our diets. Part II introduces you to many foods from which you can choose and provides you with knowledge about the nutrients these foods have to offer. In addition, we provide informa- tion about the sources of the foods you purchase and eat—the individual plants and animals, how they are processed to the products that appear on store shelves, and some of the history of these foods in our diet. Before we introduce the foods themselves, we want to explain the arrangement and presentation of food items in these sections. Because this book is written for a North American audience, we have included food products that are available to most North Americans. Within the sections on Fruits and Vegetables, we have listed items by their common names in alphabetical order; when a food has more than one common name, the index should help in locating the item.

Several studies report health benefits of raisins, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, whereas the anti-inflammatory activity at gastric level of the hydro-alcoholic extracts, which are mostly used for food supplements preparation, was not reported until now. The aim of this study was to compare the anti-inflammatory activity of five raisin extracts focusing on Interleukin (IL)-8 and Nuclear Factor (NF)-κB pathway.

Abstract: This review elaborates on the significance of Mediterranean raisins, focusing particularly on indigenous Greek varieties (e.g., Zante currants) as a previously overlooked traditional food, currently brought on the spotlight, resulting from the increased consumers’ awareness to improve wellness through diet modification. Recent studies on the effect of processing steps on final quality, along with findings on the potential health benefits raisins and currants elicit, are also presented. The development of novel functional food products to further exploit the nutritional value and the Citation: Papadaki, A.; bioactive compounds of raisins is evidenced in view of indicating potential food industry applications.
