Abstract Glucose plays critical roles in many human body functions, above all as a source of energy. Abnormal levels glucose are correlated to different diseases, importantly including diabetes. As such, quantification fluids is essential for health monitoring. Blood tests and, more recently, portable interstitial fluid tests, currently represent the benchmarks detection. Inconvenient invasive methods such blood pose burdens on both patients and healthcare system. In this review, noninvasive...
The study evaluated the application of a novel high-pressure microbial inactivation method combining dense carbon dioxide with modified atmosphere packaging on organic fresh-cut squash (Cucurbita moschata). Approximately 4 g or 32 was packed in plastic pouches filled CO2 to test two different gas-to-product ratios and treated at previously optimized process conditions (45 °C, 6.0 MPa 40 min). products were then stored for 21 days °C assessed enzymatic activity, product quality, sugar...
Fresh chicken meat is a very perishable good, even at refrigerated storage conditions, due to psychrophilic microbial growth and physicochemical changes. The present study focuses on the use of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) essential oil (REO), supercritical CO2 processing their synergism increase inactivation in breast meat. E. coli L. innocua were inoculated surface, effects two different processes, namely SC-CO2 SC-MAPCO2, compared with or without addition REO. Moreover, impact...
The recent COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the need for innovative decontamination techniques capable of treating sensitive materials potentially contaminated. Combining supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) with sterilant agents shown promise in this regard. This study aimed at testing scCO2 as a virus inactivation method biomedical contaminated Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). was inoculated on stainless-steel carrier and treated 45°C 8 MPa. No detected when...
This work presents a feasibility lab-scale study for new preservation method to inactivate microorganisms and increase the shelf life of pre-packed fresh-cut products. Experiments were conducted on coriander leaves carrots coconut. The technology used combination hydrostatic pressure (<15 MPa), low temperature (≤45 °C), CO2 modified atmosphere packaging (MAP). inactivation was achieved naturally present (total mesophilic bacteria, yeasts molds, total coliforms) inoculated E. coli. Yeasts...
This work presents an analysis of a supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2) pasteurization process, focusing on the financial and economic parameters that make process sustainable at industrial level. A small company processing 5,000,000 bottles apple juice per year has been chosen as case study. Investment operating costs have estimated based data collected from market relevant literature. The sustainability assessment was performed through Discounted Cash Flow methodology, proving SC-CO2 is profitable...
