RIULS

Repository of Iasi University of Life Sciences, ROMANIA

Welcome to RIULS!

The mission of the University’s institutional repository is to manage, preserve and disseminate, in open access, the academic and institutional output of the university’s academic community. It also aims to promote values and personalities belonging to Romanian agricultural science, by storing digitized versions of rare books and manuscripts from its collections.

The repository is part of the international movement known as open science, which promotes free access to scientific literature. This translates into maximized impact of the work carried out by researchers, contribution to improving access to knowledge, increased visibility of the institution through the works of its authors and improvement of its search engine ranking.

All documents deposited in the repository receive a unique and persistent identifier called a Handle, thus guaranteeing perpetual access to scientific output through permanent links.

RIULS Repository of Iași University of Life Sciences is indexed in Duraspace, OpenDOAR,CORE,Google Scholar,BASE (Bielefeld Academic Search Engine) and ROAR (Registry of Open Access Repositories), global Directories of Open Access Repositories.

Reformulation of an organ-based meat product with pumpkin powder: a strategy for fiber enrichment
(University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest, Romania, 2025) Manoliu, Diana-Remina; Ciobotaru, Mihai Cătălin; Anchidin, Bianca-Georgiana; Ciobanu, Marius-Mihai; Boișteanu, Paul-Corneliu
The development and manufacturing of food products, across all sectors of the industry, that align with contemporary dietary habits and meet consumers' nutritional requirements have become a permanent interest of the food industry. This study aims to combine elements of sustainability, superior valorization and the concept of functional products by optimizing the valorization of poultry organs through the reformulation of conventional Leberwurst. To achieve this, pumpkin powder (Cucurbita maxima) was incorporated at concentrations of 0.1%, 3%, and 5% into the product made with liver and chicken thigh, to enrich the product with dietary fibers - an essential nutritional element absent in conventional meat products - while preserving its sensory acceptability and improving its functional and nutritional profile. After production, the batches were subjected to physicochemical evaluations, and characterized in terms of pH, color, texture, and sensory perception. The addition of pumpkin powder results in an improvement in the fiber content, with a good sensory acceptability for all the formulations. This research supports the development of functional meat products with improved nutritional quality and sustainability by valorizing underused ingredients.

The elements of potential soil fertility relating to winter wheat production in the northern agricultural area of the republic of Moldova
(“Ion Ionescu de la Brad” University of Life Sciences, Iaşi, 2025) Andriucă, Valentina; Dubiţ, Daniela; Cazmalî, Nicolai; Racoviţa, Gheorghe
The Northern Development Region of the Republic of Moldova (NDR) includes 11 administrative districts (Briceni, Edineţ, Donduşeni, Drochia, Făleşti, Floreşti, Glodeni, Ocniţa, Rîşcani, Sângerei, Soroca), including the municipality of Bălţi. The NDR corresponds to the Northern Agricultural Zone, representing 32.9% of the total area of the Republic of Moldova. The area has significant potential in the cultivation of the main strategic and export crops of the region - wheat, corn, sunflower and others, an area characterized by highly fertile soils - chernozems, with favorable grades of soil creditworthiness. In food security, the soil represents an important link regarding the fertility and productivity of cultivated crops. Currently, these are vulnerable to climate change and the risks that accompany them, including high temperatures during critical phases of plant development, lack of moisture in the soil due to insufficient atmospheric precipitation, lack of nutritional elements for plants and others. The elements of potential fertility with a determining role in food security are climatic conditions and soil characteristics: texture, organic matter content (humus), nutrients - NPK, which as a whole will determine the physical, hydro-physical characteristics and the conditions for plant growth and development. These characteristics have a major role in the accumulation, mobility and storage of moisture reserves, providing the plant with water and nutrients. In 2025, along with production, the quality of winter wheat on loamy-clay and clay-loamy leached chernozems was also researched. The comparative evaluation on several polygons highlighted varieties with high protein content (10.5%), gluten (26%), Zeleny index (56 ml), compared to agrocenoses characterized by low protein indices – 8.1%, gluten – 16%, Zeleny index – 38ml.

Anatomical Features of Pheasant Carcasses From Different Rearing Systems: A Literature Review
(University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest, Romania, 2025) Tîrziu, Dumitrel; Crăciunaș, Traian; Munteanu, Mugurel; Ciobanu, Marius-Mihai; Boișteanu, Paul-Corneliu
The anatomical features of the pheasant carcasses vary considerably depending on the rearing system, the major influences being attributed to the feeding system, sex and age. This review aims to synthesize recent data from the literature on the anatomical features of pheasant carcasses reared in natural and controlled rearing systems. This study draws on recent and relevant studies evaluating parameters such as proportions of anatomical regions and body indices according to rearing system, age and sex. Data were collected and synthesized from reputable online sources. The results show that pheasants raised in the wild reveal larger breast proportions in males, compared to those raised under controlled conditions, where was observed an important increase of subcutaneous fat and abdominal fat content. The study shows that the rearing system plays a determining role in the anatomical development of pheasants, and underscore the contributions of comparative studies on understanding its impact on carcass quality and usability. These insights can inform future strategies in pheasants rearing for economic and food production purposes.

Sustainable Strategies for The Use Of Animal By-Products in Meat Products With Heterogeneous Structure: Approaches to Combat Food Waste
(University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest, Romania, 2025) Boișteanu, Paul-Corneliu; Flocea, Elena-Iuliana; Ciobotaru, Mihai-Cătălin; Ciobanu, Marius-Mihai
Food waste is a major problem that has negative effects on the environment and the global economy. In recent years, research has focused on promoting food circularity and sustainability. Animal by-products, with a valuable nutritional profile, offer significant potential to replace synthetic additives. This study examines the integration of beef fat from the meat industry bone by-products into heterogeneous meat products. Various fat proportions (2%, 4% and 6%) were investigated to assess the impact on the overall quality. Although some segments of the population reject fat-added meat products due to health concerns, the research aims to identify sustainable solutions that are both environmentally and health beneficial, thus contributing to a significant reduction in food waste.
