This study investigated the influence of drying techniques such as convection hot-air drying, vacuum drying, and freeze drying with slow and flash pre-freezing on the total phenolic content and the profile of dominant phenolic compounds in cultivated...

Acid violet 19 (AV19) dye is used in many fields, including photographic film, inks, leather, and textiles. Potassium ferrate (VI) (Fe(VI)) represents a novel oxidant, notable for its strong oxidative capabilities, stability, and environmental sustai...

Geosmin contamination in water is a worldwide concern, owing to its strong odor at trace levels and limited removal by typical water treatment methods. In this study, bentonite–alginate–magnetic (Bent-alg-mag) beads were prepared using th...

The increasing presence of pharmaceutical residues such as ibuprofen in aquatic environments represents a growing concern due to their persistence and limited biodegradability. In this study, selenium-doped tin oxide (SnO₂:Se) nanoparticles covered w...

This study examined the influence of short-term olive fruit storage on the quality of virgin olive oil (VOO) from three cultivars (‘Kalinjot’, ‘Leccino’, and ‘Frantoio’) grown in southwest Albania. Olive fruits wer...

In this paper we provide the Group Contribution parameters for acetylenes and aromatic nitro compounds fitting with a recently developed Group Contribution method with chemical accuracy (1 kcal/mol) for the heat of formation of organics. These additi...

Seeds from four landraces of dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L. and Phaseolus coccineus L.) from the National Collection of Bulgaria were analyzed for their chemical and lipid composition. The chemical analysis revealed that protein ranged from 24.4% t...

This study assessed the phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, and phytochemical composition of methanolic extracts from Portuguese Mentha pulegium L. and Lavandula stoechas L. Through spectrophotometric methods (TPC, FRAP, and DPPH), high-resolutio...

Considering the high demand for efficient chemical recycling and reusability of polyurethane foams (PUFs), combined microwave-assisted solvolysis routes have been applied to a widely used commercial PUF for pipe pre-insulation, and the reusability of...

This study introduces an optimized and selective extraction methodology using dichloromethane/methanol (DCM/MeOH, 95:5, v/v) in combination with accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) for the targeted stilbenoid and phenanthrene derivatives from five o...
