“…The UK total diet study [38] shows an average As content in fresh fruit of 2 mg/kg fresh weight; that is, 11.7 mg/kg dry weight considering a moisture content of 83% [37]. All of these values are close to our results.…”

Abstract-The present study follows arsenic (As) transfer through the chain of soil-vine-leaves-grapes-wine to assess the possible risk of arsenic intake related to consuming grapes and wines produced in 10 vineyards located in a mining area rich in this element. The results are compared with date from 18 uncontaminated areas. In the soil, the content of As extracted with acqua regia and that extracted with ammonium acetate, were analyzed. Leaves and berries were analyzed after washing with acidified aqueous solution and acid mineralization in a closed vessel, whereas wines were simply diluted before analysis. All analyses were performed using an inductively coupled plasma mass-spectrometer. The aqua regia extractable As concentration in soil ranged from 3.7 to 283 mg/kg, whereas available As varied from 18 to 639 mg/kg, and As total concentration ranged from 16.3 to 579 mg/kg dry weight in leaves and from <0.1 to 36.8 mg/kg dry weight in grapes. Arsenic levels in wines were always below 1.62 mg/L, with higher concentration in red wines than in white wines. Significant and positive correlations between the As concentrations in soils, leaves, and berries are highlighted, with the samples collected near the mining area having significantly higher values. Nevertheless, As levels in wines were always well below the limit (200 mg/L) suggested by the International Organization of Vine and Wine. Environ. Toxicol. Chem. 2013;32:773-779. # 2013 SETAC

“…Several sesquiterpene lactones found in chicory confer the bitter taste to the plant (27) . The laxative effect of chicory can be explained by its high content of dietary fibre, having 3?6 g of dietary fibre per half cup of chopped raw chicory (35) . Moreover, inulin, an indigestible carbohydrate, is found to some extent in the stalk of the plant (38) .…”

“…In fact, five of the informants who had mentioned that it strengthens the blood specified later on during the interview that it treats anaemia. Looking at its nutritional profile, chicory stands out as a rich source of folate, containing 110 mg of folate per half cup of chopped raw chicory (35) . Therefore, an increased consumption of chicory might explain its reported properties in cases of folate-deficiency related anaemia in the community.…”

Objectives: Wild edible plants (WEP) play the dual role of securing food diversity and promoting health in traditional societies. Current simplified dietary habits contribute to increasing population health risks. Since WEP are integral to the diet of traditional communities, identifying their significance as foods to people provides further evidence to conserve them and promote their consumption. Six species of WEP were identified as integral to the diet of rural Lebanese communities. We investigated their patterns of consumption and knowledge regarding their health and medicinal properties. Design: An ethnobotanical survey, employing a qualitative questionnaire, was conducted among thirty informants. The identified species were Cichorium intybus, Eryngium creticum, Foeniculum vulgare, Malva sylvestris, Thymus syriacus and Gundelia tournifortii. Results: Most informants consumed the six plants as a regular part of their diet. Seasonal variability in consumption was evident. C. intybus was renowned for its digestive and blood strengthening properties. F. vulgare was used as a digestive stimulant. M. sylvestris was distinguished for its anti-inflammatory qualities. T. syriacus was popular for its digestive and anti-poisonous properties. E. creticum was attributed less pronounced health benefits. G. tournifortii was considered a nutritious food. Conclusions: All six species were popular for their edible uses as well as their health and/or medicinal benefits. These properties are supported by scientific evidence. Our results highlight the importance of these plants for local people and support efforts for their conservation. However, we noticed a decline in indigenous knowledge. We encourage efforts to record it for other plants and in other communities.

“…Milk calcium content is 1.2 g/kg; 20% is bound to CN and the remainder, highly available, is in mineral form. Calcium content in dairy products ranges from 0.6 g/kg (cottage cheese) to 7.3 g/kg (Cheddar cheese) as shown in Table 4 (Pennington, 1994). Cream, sour cream, and cream cheese are not included due to their low calcium content (USDA and US Department of Health and Human Services, 2010).…”
