Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2557: Relationship between Height and Exposure in Multispectral Vegetation Index Response and Product Characteristics in a Traditional Olive Orchard
In conclusion, the results showed the complexity of the olive canopies’ response to multispectral data collection, highlighting the need to study the vertical axis to assess the variability of the canopy itself. The relationship between multispectral data and product characteristics must be further investigated. (Source: Sensors)

Impact of lactic acid bacteria inoculation on fungal diversity during Spanish-style green table olive fermentations
This study delved into the evolution of fungal population during the fermentation of Spanish-style green table olives (Manzanilla cultivar), determining the influence of different factors such as fermentation matrix (brine or fruit) or the use of a lactic acid bacteria inoculum, on its distribution. The samples (n = 24) were directly obtained from industrial fermentation vessels with approximately 10.000 kg of fruits and 6.000 L of brines. Our findings showcased a synchronized uptick in lactic acid bacteria counts alongside fungi proliferation. Metataxonomic analysis of the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) region unearthe...

Monitoring the yeasts ecology and volatiles profile throughout the spontaneous fermentation of Taggiasca cv. table olives through culture-dependent and independent methods
Int J Food Microbiol. 2024 Mar 30;417:110688. doi: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2024.110688. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTaggiasca table olives are typical of Liguria, a Northwestern Italian region, produced with a spontaneous fermentation carried out by placing the raw drupes directly into brine with a salt concentration of 8-12 % w/v. Such concentrations limit the development of unwanted microbes and favor the growth of yeasts. This process usually lasts up to 8 months. Yeasts are found throughout the entire fermentation process and they are mainly involved in the production of volatile organic compounds, which strongly impac...

Determination of Bacterial Community Structure of Table Olive via Metagenomic Approach in Şarköy
This study is the first study for Şarköy, which is the only table olive production place in the Tekirdağ region due to its microclimate feature. Further studies are needed in more table olive samples from different geographical areas to confirm and develop current findings.PMID:38613509 | DOI:10.1002/cbdv.202302120 (Source: Chemistry and Biodiversity)

Short-term healthcare resource utilization associated with receipt of CDC-informed opioid thresholds among commercially insured new chronic opioid users
CONCLUSIONS: There was no difference in odds of an all-cause or opioid-related ACE associated with the thresholds. Early-intervention programs and policies exploring reduction of MME/day among NCOUs may not result in short-term reduction in all-cause or opioid-related ACEs. Further assessment of potential long-term reduction in ACEs among this cohort may be insightful.PMID:38533714 | DOI:10.5055/jom.0848 (Source: Journal of Opioid Management)
