Synthetic food colourings are widely used because they are stable, inexpensive, reliable, and effective in shaping consumer perception and behaviour, even though some are under scrutiny for adverse health effects. In this work, we present a new sensi...
Effluents containing synthetic anionic dyes can pose a risk to ecosystems, and they must be treated before their release to the environment. Biosorption, a simple and effective process, may be a promising solution for treating these effluents. In thi...
Natural and synthetic colorants present in food can modulate hemostasis, which includes the coagulation process and blood platelet activation. Some colorants have cardioprotective activity as well. However, the effect of genipin (a natural blue color...
In recent years, photocatalysis based on metal oxides has gained significant attention as an effective and environmentally sustainable strategy for the degradation of dye pollutants under mild operating conditions. Among the various metal oxide photo...
Ischemic stroke leads to hypoxia-induced neuronal death and behavioral abnormity, and is a major cause of death in the modern society. However, the treatments of this disease are limited. Brilliant Blue FCF (BBF) is an edible pigment used in the food...
Tartrazine and brilliant blue FCF are synthetic dyes used in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. The individual and/or simultaneous control of their concentrations is required due to dose-dependent negative health effects. Therefore, th...
The influence of natural and synthetic blue food colorants on the human body, including the cardiovascular system, is a complex and not fully understood topic. Considering that various papers have demonstrated that oxidative stress is a crucial step...
The present article reports an environmentally benign method for synthesizing silver nanoparticles using the fruit extract of Viburnum opulus L. as a source of bioactive compounds, which can act as reducing agents of the silver ions and also as stabi...
This study was conducted to eliminate the ions and molecules present in the industrial wastewater received by the municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) of Reghaia, which is located east of Algiers, Algeria. The process was developed for two dif...
The use of unmanned aerial spray systems (UASS) has increased owing to their many advantages. However, studies related to a standardized method to evaluate the spray performance of UASS are lacking. Therefore, in the present study, a quantitative ana...
Synthetic dyes of various classes are widely applied in food production. Reliable and simple methods of dye determination are in demand for food quality control. Novel, sensitive, and selective voltammetric sensors based on glassy carbon electrodes m...
Synthetic colorants, in particular tartrazine and brilliant blue FCF, are widely used in food chemistry and technology although they can give negative health effects of various severities. Therefore, sensitive, selective, simple, and reliable methods...
Voltammetric sensors based on CeO2, SnO2, CeO2·Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) and MnO2 nanorods (NRs) were developed for the quantification of various organic substances. Surfactant media were applied as dispersive agents for metal oxide nanomateri...
Four silver phosphate-based materials were successfully synthesized, characterized, and evaluated, together with TiO2, in the photodegradation of synthetic dyes (tartrazine, Orange II, rhodamine, and Brilliant Blue FCF) under two irradiation sources...
The toxicity of food additives is widely studied and concerns many consumers worldwide. Synthetic food colors are often considered an unnecessary risk to consumer health. Since the European Food Safety Authority’s (EFSA) re-evaluation between 2...
The molecular mechanisms governing the formation of lymphatic vasculature are not yet well understood. Pannexins are transmembrane proteins that form channels which allow for diffusion of ions and small molecules (<1 kDa) between the extracellular...
(1) Background: The suitability of certain food colorings is nowadays in discussion because of the effects of these compounds on human health. For this reason, in the present work, the biological effects of six worldwide used food colorings (Riboflav...
Understanding solute transport in fractured rocks is of particular importance in many applications. Aperture values ranging from 4.7 to 8.7 mm and Reynolds number (Re) values at 9.38~1743.8 were set for investigating fluid flow through synthetic hori...
The integrating sphere with sample inside (ISSI) method is useful for absorption spectroscopy of scattering samples, but the measured absorbance (
Root-induced channels are the primary controlling factors for rapid movement of water and solute in forest soils. To explore the effects of root distribution on preferential flow during rainfall events, deciduous (Quercus variabilis BI.) and conifero...
Objective: Pannexin-1 (Panx1) is suspected of having a critical role in modulating neuronal excitability and acute neurological insults. Herein, we assess the changes in behavioral and electrophysiological markers of excitability associated with Panx...
This paper presents the results of investigations on the kinetic modeling of Brilliant Blue FCF (BB) discoloration reactions in aqueous solutions with different ozone concentrations and pH conditions. Kinetic studies involve knowledge of the structur...
