Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) are devices designed to deliver nicotine in a vaping solution rather than smoke and without tobacco combustion. Perceived as safer alternative conventional cigarettes, e-cigs aggressively marketed lifestyle-choice consumables, thanks few restrictions lack of regulatory guidelines. E-cigs have also gained popularity among never-smokers teenagers, becoming an emergent public health issue. Despite the burgeoning worldwide consumption e-cigs, their safety remains...
The reuse of coffee silverskin (CS), the main waste product coffee-roasting industry, could be an alternative to its environmental disposal. However, CS also contain undesirable compounds, such as ochratoxin A (OTA) and phytosterol oxidation products (POPs). study on composition (caffeine, moisture, dietary fibers, carbohydrates, polyphenol contents) was carried out, with emphasis OTA POPs for safety reasons. lipid fraction showed significant amounts linoleic acid phytosterols (7.0 12.1%...
A routine method for determining cannabinoids in Cannabis sativa L. inflorescence, based on Fast gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (Fast GC/MS), was developed and validated. To avoid the decarboxylation of carboxyl group cannabinoids, different derivatization approaches, i.e. silylation esterification (diazomethane-mediated), reagents solvents (pyridine or ethyl acetate), were tested. The methylation significantly increased signal-to-noise ratio all carboxylic except...
The prooxidant role of free fatty acids was studied in soybean oil-in-water emulsions. Addition oleic acid (0−5.0% oil) to the emulsions increased lipid hydroperoxides and headspace hexanal formation negative charge emulsion droplet with increasing concentration. Methyl oleate (1.0% did not increase oxidation rates. ability promote decreased decreasing pH dramatic reduction observed when low enough so that able droplet. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic (EDTA, 200 μm) strongly inhibited acid,...
Abstract Phospholipids have been reported to inhibit lipid oxidation in bulk oils, but very little is known about their influence on oil‐in‐water emulsions. In the present study, impact of 1,2‐dioleoyl‐ sn ‐glycero‐3‐phosphocholine (DOPC) was studied 1% stripped soybean (O/W) emulsions as a function DOPC concentration and pH (3 7). At 7.0, inhibited O/W emulsions, while prooxidative at 3.0. did not affect emulsion droplet charge or size either 3.0 7.0. The antioxidant activity 7.0 observed...
DNA-based protocols are the standard methods for diagnosis of infected plant material. Nevertheless, these time-consuming and require trained personnel, with an efficacy depending on sampling procedure. In comparison, recognition based volatile compounds emissions less precise, but allow a non-destructive mass screening bulk samples, may be implemented to steer molecular diagnosis. this study, analysis is used discrimination fire blight (Erwinia amylovora) blossom (Pseudomonas syringae pv....
