The aim of this study was to determine the influence of the application of different types of essential oils in the preparation of white brine cheese, with the addition of essential oils in different concentrations, on the organoleptic, physicochemic...

Derivatives of 2-amino-4H-chromene possess diverse pharmacological activities. However, traditional multicomponent synthesis suffers from toxic solvents, long reaction times, and difficulties in balancing catalytic activity and selectivity, which vio...

In this study, we determine the refractive index (n), extinction coefficient (k), absorption coefficient (α) and optical band gap (E_g) of thin films based on the commercially available azo polymer (poly [1-[4-(3-carboxy-4-hydroxyphenylazo) benz...

The Mediterranean region is a hotspot for many plants rich in bioactive compounds due to its climate and geological regime. Aerial parts of native perennials Satureja montana and Teucrium montanum (Lamiaceae) were spectrophotometrically compared on t...

Pharmaceutical-contaminated wastewater from medical facilities and households can cause ecological damage. In this study, 100% natural fruit peels, namely lime (LP), orange (OP), kiwi (KP), fig (FP), and pomegranate (PP) peels, were investigated as l...

Objective: This study aimed to develop and optimize a rapid, eco-friendly microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) process for recovering total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) from garlic (Allium sativum L.), while evaluating the...

Gliricidia sepium (G. sepium) is a Fabaceae tree native to Mexico and Central America with ethnobotanical relevance in tropical regions. Traditionally, different parts have been used to treat skin disorders, wounds, fever, infections, inflammation, a...

Colorectal cancer remains a significant global health challenge, highlighting the need for targeted therapeutic strategies. Plant-derived bioactive compounds are of interest due to their antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic properties. This study inve...

The method of extraction of edible oils from nuts significantly affects both the yield and the quality of the oil. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the chemical and lipid composition of pecan nuts, as well as the extracted pecan oil (...

Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) hydrolysis over protonated Y-type faujasite zeolite (H-FAU) was examined using a hybrid density functional theory/molecular mechanics approach. ONIOM2(M06/6-31+G(d,p):UFF) calculations identified stepwise and concerted pathways...

The use of non-traditional oilseeds for food purposes has increased significantly in recent years. Due to the high content of unsaturated fatty acids, the production of cold-pressed oils from pumpkin and hemp seeds is growing at a steady pace. This r...

There is growing demand for biosourced functional polymers, particularly in organic electronics, which continue to rely heavily on petroleum-derived materials. In this regard, platform chemicals obtained from biomass offer sustainable alternatives. H...

This study investigates the influence of Lewis acids on a novel stratified (Co²⁺,Pd²⁺)₂SiO₄-Pd⁰ olivine catalyst for the Heck–Mizoroki coupling of iodobenzene and methyl acrylate. Comprehensive characterization (ICP-OES, Raman, P-XRD, XPS) conf...

Cyclamen cyprium Kotschy, an endemic species of Cyprus, remains largely unexplored in terms of its chemical content and biological activity, despite the well-documented effects of other Cyclamen spp. This study aimed to characterize the phytochemical...

Onosma elegantissima is an endemic and understudied plant of the Kozani Regional Unit (Greece), with poorly established traditional use. However, the well-documented pharmacological potential of the genus has prompted further investigation. Furthermo...

Phenolic compounds are recognized for their antioxidant properties and potential application in sustainable functional materials. In this study, the phenolic composition and antioxidant activity of four agro-industrial residues—rice husk, spent...

Chitosan-stabilized silver nanoparticles are promising antimicrobial agents for textile finishing, but their direct transfer from colloidal synthesis to polyester fabrics is limited by nanoparticle deposition, dispersion stability, and fiber–pa...

House dust mites (HDMs) are major indoor allergens linked to asthma and atopic dermatitis, creating demand for safer, natural alternatives to synthetic acaricides and anti-allergy agents. This study aimed to investigate the dual bioactivity of curcum...

For continuous crystallization of pharmaceutical and organic chemical compounds in a plug flow crystallizer, seed slurry, prepared in advance, is continuously fed into the crystallizer for controlled secondary nucleation and subsequently desired crys...

Exercise induces rapid systemic metabolic perturbations, but the chemical organization of post-exercise recovery remains incompletely resolved across public LC-MS datasets. Here, we performed a public-data reanalysis of human exercise metabolomics to...

This investigation assessed the phenolic composition, and the in vitro and in silico antioxidant potential of peels from six potato varieties (Arizona, Spunta, Fabula, Manito, Argos, and Touareg) cultivated in Algeria. 80% ethanol was applied to mace...

The increasing demand for seafood over the years has led to an increase in by-products produced by the seafood processing sector. These by-products, which can represent up to 70% of processed products, are rich in nutrients and bioactive compounds, a...

A series of chlorinated chalcone derivatives containing oxazole and thiazole rings were synthesized via Claisen–Schmidt condensation of 6-acetyl-2(3H)-benzoxa(thia)zolone with substituted chlorobenzaldehydes. The synthesized compounds were eval...

Andean crops can be efficiently incorporated into food industrialization after the characterization of their components. This study evaluated tarwi (Lupinus mutabilis Sweet) flours from three ecotypes: PNTF (punto negro), WTF (white), and MTF (moro),...

The divalent metal transporter DMT1 (SLC11A2) is implicated in diverse human pathologies including cancers, inflammatory and degenerative diseases. Small molecules targeting this membrane protein are actively searched. Following the identification of...
