Abstract Food additives are required to maintain the freshness and quality of foods, particularly meats. However, chemical additives may not be preferred by consumers, and natural materials with antimicrobial and antioxi...

Studying the organoleptic properties of heated tobaccos in relation to natural flavors is essential for understanding how lower-temperature processing influences the release of intrinsic tobacco flavor compounds. Unlike ...

The incidence and mortality rates of breast cancer are increasing, although improvements in traditional treatments, and it remains the most frequent cancer among women globally. The increasing demand for natural suppleme...

Landslide hotspots refer to spatial clusters of slope failures where event densities significantly exceed surrounding background levels, providing key insight into how climatic, environmental, and anthropogenic factors i...

The final properties of composite materials are highly dependent on the residual geometrical parameters (length, diameter, aspect ratio), orientation and distribution of the fibres in the matrix, which in turn are relate...

Abstract The anthelminthic activity of the essential oil (EO) of Piper aduncum L. was tested in vitro on eggs and larvae of resistant (Embrapa2010) and susceptible (McMaster) isolates of Haemonchus contortus. The EO was ...

Background: Infectious diseases are a global problem, the second human cause of death. Infectious diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria have been treated with a high degree of efficacy. However, even when the 20th centu...

Monitored natural recovery (MNR) is an in situ technique of conventional remediation for the treatment of contaminated sediments that relies on natural processes to reduce the bioavailability or toxicity of contaminants....

ObjectiveTooth loss in older adults was associated with an elevated risk of malnutrition, which may be compounded by limited dietary diversity. This study aimed to assess the associations between the number of natural te...

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum) is widely recognized as a spice with a distinctive aroma that has a variety of applications in the culinary and health industries, due to its diverse active compounds. Standardization is essen...

Parasitic nematodes of humans and animals cause dis- eases of major socio-economic importance globally. Con- trol of infections in both human and veterinary medicine currently relies mainly on chemotherapy, but resistanc...

The pecan nutshell [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh) C. Koch] (PNS) is a source of bioactives with important beneficial properties for the human health. PNS represents between 40–50 % of total mass of the nut, resulting ...

ABSTRACT Mosquito-borne diseases, including malaria and dengue fever, remain a significant public health concern, especially in developing regions. The limitations of synthetic insecticides, such as resistance and enviro...

ObjectiveThe method of high performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） was developed to study the detection of synthetic colorants in natural pigments and condiment.MethodsThe analytes were extracted by direct ultrason...

Although Prickly pear seeds are agroindustrial wastes, these residues are a natural source of antioxidant compounds. Thus, this study analyzed two green technologies like Pressurized Liquid Extraction (PLE) and Ultrasoun...

This work aimed to optimize a nonthermal (NT) ultrasound-assisted aqueous extraction (aq-UAE) to maximize the recovery of polyphenols, betaxanthins, and betacyanins. Extraction yields, thermal profiles and microbiologica...

RationaleCancer remains one of the most formidable challenges in mordern medicine. Chemoresistance, particularly resistance to platinum-based agents, presents a major challenge in effective treatments. In response to thi...

Abstract Automobile cabin air filter-deposited particulate matter represents an underappreciated exposure source, yet the differential toxicity between filter sides and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we syst...
