The watermelon that helps health - Journal of Mantua

Into In a small watermelon a high concentration of one of the most powerful antioxidants, lycopene. And ‘the result obtained from the farm of Poggio Rusco Malavasi, in collaboration with the University of Ferrara, Lycomelon part of the project, which will be presented this evening at Palazzo Spisani in the city of Emilia.

Into Marco Malavasi for years has focused attention on the mini watermelons and seedless watermelons: thinner peel, much less waste, less clutter in your home and, most importantly, greater adaptability to the needs of large retailers. With families always less numerous, in fact, the mini watermelons may be cropped and finite, unlike the giants from 8-10 pounds, now almost unmanageable.

Into The product was successful, and many have embarked on this path. The Malavasi, then, have thought of a new way to stand. The attention has fallen on lycopene, an antioxidant content also, for example, in tomatoes. And more tomatoes are red, contain more lyco pene. As well as watermelons. “The difference – explains Marco Malavasi – is that the lycopene in tomatoes is fat-soluble, so it executes the action especially after cooking and in combination with fat, such as olive oil or butter. That of our watermelons, however, is water soluble, and enters in action in combination with water. ‘ And, you know, watermelon is 90% made of water. So, lycopene watermelons by the registered trademark “Cuoredolce” can immediately exercise its role as a “scavenger” of free radicals. “The institute of Professor Veronesi – remember Malavasi – has established that lycopene helps prevent some diseases, especially cancers of the prostate.”

Into The increase of the content of lycopene in watermelons Cuoredolce was obtained by a job on seeds, with the support of the University of Ferrara. And just in the province of Ferrara, Vigarano Mainarda, the company has its own land, while the warehouse is working in Poggio Rusco. The first fruits are matured for a few days, with a slight delay related to prolonged bad weather this spring. But now everything is ready, the distribution is left: the product is sent in the main fruit and vegetable markets in Northern Italy – where then supply the stores of fruit and vegetables – and some medium-sized supermarket chains, two of which, shear and Martinelli, operate also in Mantua.

Into For the moment, the distribution will be limited to customers more “demanding” as well as miniangurie have a slightly higher cost than normal, the same will be true of those rich in lycopene. “But it is only an indication – concludes Malavasi – because to decide the prices is the market. And we do not stock, we accept what the market offers. “

At the end of this month, together with the comments of citizens and municipalities (for example that of Belluno), will be on the table of the instructor, who will evaluate them to make a decision. Will most likely be made a visit to the places affected by the passage of the power line.

Into The inclusion of Mainardi (which since 2008 is part of the Committee on Via Nazionale) in the working group on this delicate project will have an even clearer picture of the issue and a further guarantee that in the end you will look for the best solution both from the environmental point of view that the public health.

Architect, what does he do in committee Way?

Into ‘Since the last two or three years I have specific responsibilities in the evaluation of master Italian airport even though, as is required by the curricula, we have the technical and scientific knowledge on the various types of impacts and alterations of artificial interventions on the natural and then the consequences on human factors. “

Why was sought integration into the group instructor contact person for the project Terna?

Into “The Committee shall evaluate the works and infrastructures throughout Italy. When there are interventions provided about places where an expert personal knowledge, we are usually asked for a collaboration. “

What is the task of the expert group to which it belongs?

Into “We simply assess whether the infrastructure determines whether or not the perturbations qualitative or quantitative, direct or indirect, temporary or permanent, single or cumulative with the natural environment and if there are consequences even minimal safety for health public. “

So in the case of the power line is evaluated the environmental issues related to the electro-smog.

Into “Of course. And I assure you that our opinions are always aimed at protecting public health. There are certain rules of law that, in the case of transmission lines such as this, provide for minimum distances from urban buildings and minimum heights from the ground, depending on the voltage levels provided in electrical power lines. Therefore, the analysis and assessment of the compatibility of our opinions always override any possible adverse effect on the environment and any possible effect of electromagnetic radiation potentially harmful to health. I know the controls on magnetic fields through the measuring isotropic, that have consistently not, to date, a significant presence of dangerous radiation. More dangerous in my opinion is the excessive use of the phone. “
