Genetic resources of vegetable crops: from breeding non-traditional crops to functional food by Yu. V. Fotev, A. M. Artemyeva, O. A. Zvereva

“…It is proposed to use the ratio of the total number of the registered cultivars of a particular crop to the number of years since the first cultivar of that crop has been included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements Admitted for Use as a measure of demand. It is advisable to formalize the trait“high content of FFI” in crops, taking as a basis, for example, a 2–4-fold excess of the content of any FFI or their complex in a cultivar over the crop’s standard (reference) value. …”

Contribution à l’histoire de la boulangerie romaine : étude de « pains/galettes » découverts en Gaule by Andreas G. Heiss, Véronique Matterne, Nicolas Monteix, Margaux Tillier, Camille Noûs

“…The major shift from hulled towards free-threshing cereals was motivated more by technical constraints weighing on the product intended for sale, than by new dietary habits: free-threshing wheat species could be directly processed. The demand for “ready-to-use” grains has sometimes been coupled with a demand for semi-processed ingredients: in Northern Gaul, we know of certain sites from the late La Tène period documenting milling activities largely exceeding the needs of their occupants, probably partly oriented towards the supply of ground or crushed products. …”
