Does climate affect the selenium content in crops? Yes – and quite significantly. While soil composition is key to selenium uptake, climate factors such as:.☀️ sunlight.🌧️ rainfall.🌡️ temperature.💨 wind and humidity.also play a vital role. These conditions influence the

Why is it important to analyse not just the amount, but also the chemical form of selenium in plants?.When it comes to functional food research, the first thing we usually ask is: how much selenium does it contain? But in reality, the answer that matters more is: what kind of

Selenium is making its way into cosmetic formulas — from face creams to shampoos. But does it really work? 🧴. Known for its antioxidant properties and role in protecting cells from oxidative stress, selenium may support skincare by helping reduce signs of aging and inflammation.

Why are European soils low in selenium?.👉 An invisible issue affecting the health of entire populations. Although selenium is naturally present in the Earth’s crust, its concentration in soils varies greatly by region. In Europe — including Poland — soils are often deficient in

Knowledge, practice, and. a touch of scientific technology! 🧪. PATHFOOD Summer School is behind us, but exciting activities lie ahead — combining research, education, and the development of selenium-enriched functional food. Stay tuned for more!. @UniWarszawski @UABBarcelona

How can science support the future of functional food? 🌱 Our Summer School in Barcelona brought young researchers together to explore this as part of the #PATHFOOD project. @UniWarszawski @UABBarcelona

The PATHFOOD Summer School is over! 🌱 21 students from @UniWarszawski & Universitat Autònom de Barcelona explored XAS and selenium speciation in plants, finishing with a visit to the @ALBAsynchrotron. Thanks to all participants!

Two researchers from @UniWarszawski visited @UABBarcelona as part of the #PATHFOOD project 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬.Prof. Łukasz Drewniak & Dr Klaudia Dębiec-Andrzejewska exchanged knowledge and strengthened scientific cooperation for sustainable functional food 🌱🌍.#research #mobility #selenium

A little sneak peek behind the scenes! 👀. The first photo shows the freshly delivered cabbage seedlings 🥬, and the second – their growth after two weeks. And that's even before the selenium spray! 🌱. Curious to see what happens next? Stay tuned for more updates!

Wishing you a peaceful Easter break filled with rest, fresh energy, meaningful conversations, and time for what truly matters. May this spring season bring a renewed perspective and inspiration for the months ahead. The PATHFOOD Team 🌿

Selenium from food or supplements – which is better? . Diet: Natural sources provide highly bioavailable selenium. Supplements: Useful in case of deficiencies, but excessive intake can be toxic. Diet should provide enough selenium, and supplementation should be used cautiously.

PATHFOOD Partners: @UniWarszawski, @UABBarcelona, @CNRsocial_ and @REDINNsrl. Together, we’re shaping the sustainable future of selenium-enriched functional food. 🌿

🎉 2024 marked the launch of the PATHFOOD project! Together with @UniWarsaw, @UABBarcelona, @cnr_italy, and @REDINNsrl, we’re shaping the future of functional food. The coming year brings new steps toward a sustainable selenium-enriched food chain. 🌱 #PATHFOOD

Wishing you peace, joy, and time with loved ones this holiday season. May these days bring warmth and happiness to your hearts. 🌟. Happy holidays! 🎉
