Botanical insecticides containing a mixture of plant essential oils (EOs) are considered suitable for the management of houseflies (M. domestica). The adulticidal efficacies of single EOs and mixtures of EOs, including lemongrass (C. citratus), star...
This study aimed to investigate the antifungal and antimycotoxicogenic effect of binary and tertiary mixtures of Thymus vulgaris, Origanum sativum, and Coriandrum sativum essential oils (EOs), as well as emulsions based on EO mixtures, on fungi devel...
Essential oils (EOs) are plant metabolites with important insecticidal effects. Nevertheless, information on the efficacy of the major substances on aphids and their natural enemies is still missing. The objective of this paper is, therefore, to iden...
The effect of essential oils (EOs) incorporated in their vapor phase combined with lactic acid immersion pretreatment was studied on fresh refrigerated chicken breast shelf life. Among the several EOs assayed, the in vitro results obtained from the v...
In this study, we investigated the insecticidal potential of Eucalyptus globulus Labill. and Cymbopogon citratus Stapf essential oils (EOs), both alone and in synergistic blends with their primary active compounds, against adult houseflies (Musca dom...
The knowledge of the phase behavior of carbon dioxide (CO2)-rich mixtures is a key factor to understand the chemistry and migration of natural volcanic CO2 seeps in the marine environment, as well as to develop engineering processes for CO2 sequestra...
The use of combined essential oils (EOs) is a new technique that can improve their preservative effects while minimizing their sensory impact in foods. The aim of this study was to determine the chemical profile of three essential oils (EOs) extracte...
Essential oils (EOs) are more and more frequently adulterated due to their wide usage and large profit, for this reason accurate and precise authentication techniques are essential. This work aims at the application of qNMR as a versatile tool for th...
The whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Genn.), is one of the most dangerous polyphagous pests in the world. Eco-friendly compounds and new chemical insecticides have gained recognition for whitefly control. In this study, the toxicity and biochemical impact o...
Vapor pressures and other thermodynamic properties of liquids, such as density and enthalpy of mixtures, are the key parameters in chemical engineering for designing new process units, and are also essential for understanding the physical chemistry,...
Investigations have shown that storage bugs seriously harm grains during storage. In the interim, essential oils (EOs) have been proven to be a good botanical pesticide. The anti-Lasioderma serricorne properties of Elsholtzia ciliata essential oil, w...
In this study, we analyzed the components of Mentha spp. essential oils (EOs) and evaluated their major constituents and binary combinations against Reticulitermes dabieshanensis. We also determined the activities of esterases (ESTs), glutathione S-t...
Mosquito management programs in the urban environment of Italian cities mainly rely on larval control with conventional insecticides, primarily targeting the road drains that constitute the principal mosquito breeding sites encountered in public. The...
In this work poly(lactic) acid (PLA)/poly(butylene succinate-co-adipate) (PBSA) biobased binary blends were investigated. PLA/PBSA mixtures with different compositions of PBSA (from 15 up to 40 wt.%) were produced by twin screw-extrusion. A first scr...
Strawberries are economically valuable but highly perishable fruits, mainly due to fungal spoilage, with no fungicides currently registered for postharvest use. This study aimed to develop a biobased postharvest treatment for strawberries focusing on...
Lepidopteran pests cause severe global economic damage; they are currently mitigated by synthetic pesticides that trigger widespread resistance and environmental toxicity. This systematic review evaluates the potential of Piper essential oils (EOs) a...
A new element- and chemical bond-dependent GE-EoS model(SRK-UNICAC) is proposed to consider the deviation of the vapor and liquid phases from the ideal state. The SRK-UNICAC model combines the UNICAC model and the SRK cubic equation of state. It uses...
Medicinal plants and essential oils (EOs), in particular, were intensively studied in recent years as viable alternatives for antiproliferative chemical synthetic agents. In the same lines, the present study focuses on investigating the effects of na...
Pulse beetles, Callosobruchus chinensis and Callosobruchus maculatus, are essential pests of cowpea, gram, soybean and pulses. Application of synthetic insecticides against the pulse beetle has led to insect resistance; insecticide residues on grains...
Single-needle electrospinning and needle-free electrospinning were applied to fabricate cellulose acetate (CA) fibrous mats containing rosemary (RO), clove (CL) and thyme (TH) essential oils (EO) from binary or ternary solvent mixture solutions. When...
With the development of large-thrust liquid rocket engines, the behavior of liquid in supercritical conditions arouses increasing public interest. Due to the high pressure and temperature of the combustion chamber, fuel reaches its critical point muc...
The existence of propane (C3H8) in a CO2-oil mixture has great potential for increasing CO2 solubility and decreasing minimum miscibility pressure (MMP). In this study, the enhanced solubility, reduced viscosity, and lowered MMP of CO2-saturated crud...
Combining essential oils (EOs) with contrasting chemical profiles may result in biological effects that cannot be reliably predicted from the properties of the individual oils. This study evaluated the chemical composition, biological activities, and...
Accurate knowledge of phase behavior in polyolefin–solvent mixtures is critical for ensuring stable operation and safe scale-up of industrial solution polymerization processes. The binary (n-hexane + ethylene/1-octene copolymer, POE96k-10) and...
