Newest firstThe concept of the "cannabidiol (CBD) Hazard Triangle" reflects the unique position of CBD at the intersection of three overlapping dimensions: CBD as a substance associated with medicinal and pharmacological effects ("Drug"); CBD as a food ingredient subject to the EU Novel Food regulatory framework ("Novel Food"); and CBD as a potential source of food safety concerns ("Hazard"). This study investigates the growi…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundNon-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of mortality in Iran, driven largely by modifiable lifestyle risk factors. Healthcare providers play a pivotal role in delivering preventive lifestyle recommendations, yet the extent and effectiveness of these efforts remain unclear. This study aimed to assess the distribution of lifestyle counseling across sociodemographic and clinical subgroups and…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabis sativa L. has been utilised for food, fibre and medicine for millennia. However, historical legal constraints due to the presence of psychoactive cannabinoids have limited the use of the plant for human nutrition. For instance, in Australia, only dehulled hemp seeds and their derivatives have been available for human consumption since 2017, while the nutritional potential of other tissues remains overlook…
Open article record in new tab ↗The increasing prevalence of cannabis use during pregnancy has raised medical concerns, primarily related to Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which readily crosses the placenta and affects fetal brain development. Previous research has identified dopaminergic alterations related to maternal THC consumption. However, the consequences that prenatal cannabis exposure (PCE) has on striatum-based processing during reward…
Short shelf-life and poor microbial quality of minimally processed foods of plant origin pose a serious problem for the food industry. Novel techniques of minimal treatment combined with disinfection are being researched, and, for fresh juice, the addition of antimicrobial agents appears to be a promising route. In this research, fresh, nonfiltered, unpasteurized carrot juice was mixed with four potential antimicr…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabidiol (CBD) is widely available and marketed as having therapeutic properties. Over-the-counter CBD is unregulated, many of the therapeutic claims lack scientific support, and controversy exists as to the safety of CBD-liver interaction. The study aims were to compare the pharmacokinetics of commercial CBD and CBD metabolites following the ingestion of five different CBD formulations, determine the influence…
The endocannabinoid system is a complex lipid signaling network that has evolved to be a key regulator of pro-homeostatic pathways for the organism. Its involvement in numerous processes has rendered it a very suitable target for pharmacological studies regarding metabolic syndrome, obesity and other lifestyle-related diseases. Cannabinomimetic molecules have been found in a large variety of foods, most of which a…
BACKGROUND: Discovered and described 40 years ago, non-specific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTP) are present in many plant species and play an important role protecting plants from stressors such as heat or drought. In the last 20 years, sensitization to nsLTP and consequent reactions to plant foods has become an increasing concern. AIM: The aim of this paper is to review the evidence for the structure and function…
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a hydrophobic non-psychoactive compound with therapeutic characteristics. Animal and human studies have shown its poor oral bioavailability in vivo, and the impact of consuming lipid-soluble CBD with and without food on gut bioaccessibility has not been explored. The purpose of this research was to study the bioaccessibility of CBD after a three-phase upper digestion experiment with and withou…
Open article record in new tab ↗Hemp seed (Cannabis sativa L.) contain large amounts of nutrients, e.g. protein, dietary fiber, minerals, and unsaturated fatty acids, which make them a good fortifying component in food production. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of hemp addition on the physicochemical properties, cooking quality, texture parameters and sensory properties of durum wheat pasta. The samples were fortified w…
Open article record in new tab ↗Rats' performance on a progressive-ratio schedule maintained by sucrose (0.6M, 50 μl) and corn oil (100%, 25 μl) reinforcers was assessed using a model derived from Killeen's (1994) theory of schedule-controlled behaviour, 'Mathematical Principles of Reinforcement'. When the rats were maintained at 80% of their free-feeding body weights, the parameter expressing incentive value, a, was greater for the corn oil tha…
