A Novel Strategy for the Separation of Functional Oils from Chamomile Seeds
(Springer, 2023)
The main aim of this study was to evaluate the oils from chamomile seeds as a new source of bioactive compounds suitable for human consumption. A green extraction technique with supercritical carbon dioxide (sc-CO2) at ...
Coupling electrokinetic with a cork-based permeable reactive barrier to prevent groundwater pollution: A case study on hexavalent chromium-contaminated soil
(Elsevier Ltd., 2022)
This work proposes an eco-efficient treatment technology for the remediation of a kaolinite-based clay soil artificially contaminated with hexavalent chromium (50 mg Cr(VI) kg–1 soil), combining electrokinetics (EK) with ...
Electrospun polycaprolactone nanofibers functionalized with Achillea millefolium extract yield biomaterial with antibacterial, antioxidant and improved mechanical properties
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2023)
In this study, polycaprolactone (PCL), as a biocompatible polymer was functionalized by addition of medicinal plant extract- Achillea millefolium L. (yarrow). Nanofiber mats were fabricated from PCL solutions containing ...
Barium hexaferrite nanoplatelets with polyphenol coatings for versatile applications as a stable, magnetic, and antimicrobial colloid
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
Colloidal stabilization of magnetic nanoparticles is one of the most important steps in the preparation of magnetic nanoparticles for potential biomedical applications. A special kind of magnetic nanoparticle are barium ...
Carbon felt-polypyrrole-silver chloride composite as a rechargeable positive electrode for the seawater magnesium cell
(Elsevier Ltd., 2023)
In the paper, for the first time, the new concept of rechargeable cathode for Mg-based seawater cells is demonstrated. The pristine carbon felt (CF) is functionalized with electrodeposited polypyrrole (PPy), and the composite ...
Synthesis and characterization of luminescent Cu2+–doped fluorapatite nanocrystals as potential broad–spectrum antimicrobial agents
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
Nanomaterials based on metal–doped fluorapatite (FAP) have attracted considerable interest as potential next–generation antimicrobial agents. In this study, Cu2+–doped FAP nanocrystals have been successfully synthesized ...
Two-way reaction of versatile peroxidase with artificial lignin enhances low-molecular weight fractions
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2023)
In recent years, versatile peroxidase (VP) has emerged as a promising enzyme for biotechnological applications, as it can oxidize lignin without the external mediators. To gain insights into the breakdown process of ...
Towards a modern approach to traditional use of Helichrysum italicum in dermatological conditions: In vivo testing supercritical extract on artificially irritated skin
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2023)
Ethnopharmacological relevance: Helichrysum italicum has been widely used in traditional medicine to treat allergies, colds, cough, skin, liver and gallbladder disorders, inflammation, infections, and sleeplessness. ...
Microencapsulation of probiotic starter culture in protein–carbohydrate carriers using spray and freeze-drying processes: Implementation in whey-based beverages
(Elsevier Ltd., 2022)
The production of functional beverages has gained more attention because of growing consumers' interest in personal health. The process of carrier production and characterization of a novel type of protein-carbohydrate ...
Heterofunctional epoxy support development for immobilization of fructosyltransferase from Pectinex® Ultra SP-L: batch and continuous production of fructo-oligosaccharides
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022)
In this study, a heterofunctional carrier was obtained by modification of a macroporous polystyrene ion exchange resin with primary amino groups (Purolite® A109) with epichlorohydrin, in view of achieving covalent ...
