| Description: |
Background: Acorn, the fruit of Quercus spp. has recently been object of interest as sustainable and forgotten resource to be rediscovered to design new food for human con- sumption due to its interesting nutritional profile (high in fiber and bioactive compounds). The aim of this study was to assess the potential use of acorn flour in a porridge applica- tion, to evaluate its physico-chemical attributes, and verify its dietary effect on longevity in the in vivo model of Drosophila melanogaster. Conclusions: The aim of this study was to evaluate an acorn porridge food applica- tion focusing physico-chemical attributes and verification of dietary effect on longevity in the in vivo model of Drosophila melanogaster. Acorn porridge was proven to be a very interesting food as it is characterized by a high content of bioactive compounds. It was found to have a positive effect on DM lifespan, possibly linked to its nutrient and non-nutrient composition able to promote healthy ageing. |
