Abstract BACKGROUND The objective of the present work was to develop strategies for increasing shelf‐life red raspberries ( Rubus idaeus L.), by preventing microorganism growth. RESULTS Fruits coated with alginate plus lemon essential oil (0.2%) or orange (0.1%) after 15 days storage had less skin than remaining samples. color verified in these samples also coincident lower concentration anthocyanins at end experiment as well capacity scavenging ABTS free radicals quenching singlet oxygen....
Abstract Several studies on phytotoxic effects caused by organic xenobiotics and their removal from water macrophytes have already been performed to evaluate the usefulness of these plants for phytoremediation technologies. In this context, a study was conducted assess Typha spp.'s ability withstand remove, water, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen. For an initial ibuprofen concentration 20 µg L−1, removed nearly 60% it within first 24 h, attaining over 99% end assay (21 days)....
The aim of this work is the material characterization wall paintings and biodegradation assessment, including analysis microbial growth effect proliferation, in view their conservation. methodology was applied to study frescoes dated from 1531, located ancient parish church Santo Aleixo, Southern Portugal. combined use optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM-EDS) μ- diffraction (XRD) showed that painting palette composed red...
In the framework of inter‐disciplinary KongoKing project, a set beads from archaeological excavations in Democratic Republic Congo was analysed by means minimally invasive, multi‐analytical approach based on micro‐Raman spectroscopy. The full characterization materials, including glassy network, opacifiers and colorizers, achieved thanks to combination data handheld X‐ray fluorescence, variable pressure scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy‐dispersive spectrometry, micro‐Fourier...
Honey is a natural food product very famous for its health benefits being an important source of antioxidant and phenolic compounds. Euphorbia honeys obtained from different regions Morocco were evaluated their ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase, lipoxygenase, tyrosinase xanthine oxidase activities. Their properties using the: 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging capacity, nitric oxide scavenging activity (NO) superoxide anion radical. Then, the extracts same entire...
Abstract The concentration and antioxidant activity of the known phenolics macluraxanthone, rutin, chlorogenic acid, psoralen present in M. pomifera, F. carica, elastica extracts were determined to evaluate plant potency as new suppliers. quantification compounds was obtained by HPLC-DAD. evaluated using DPPH ABTS methods. results seem indicate that these can be promising suppliers, particularly carica leaves because only about 30% 50%, respectively, total due determined.
Abstract Microcosm constructed wetland systems established with a matrix of light expanded clay aggregates (LECA) and Typha spp. or Phragmites australis were used to evaluate their ability remove atenolol from wastewater. Combined an efficient SPE concentration step, the use HPLC-DAD yielded analytical method for quantification very low LOQ (9 ng mL−1) high reproducibility (RSD < 4%). Overall removal efficiencies 92.5% 94.5% achieved after retention time only 4 days microcosm planted spp.,...
Phenolic acids (gallic, vanillic, syringic and ellagic acids), phenolic aldehydes (vanillin, syringaldehyde, coniferaldehyde sinapaldehyde) furanic derivatives (furfural, 5-methylfurfural 5-hydroxymethylfurfural) were quantified in commercial American French oak chips.Chips with different sizes toast degrees used.Compounds extracted directly from the wood samples order to determine possible differences among woods as well degree.Likewise, compounds a synthetic wine solution which chip had...
In around 716 AD, the city of Santarém, Portugal, was conquered by Berber and Arab armies that swept Iberian Peninsula went on to rule region until 12 th century. Archaeological excavations in 2007/08 discovered an Islamic necropolis (Avenida 5 de Outubro #2–8) appears contain remains early Muslim population Santarém (8 – 10 century). this study, skeletal material from 58 adult individuals analysed for stable carbon ( δ 13 C col ; ap ), nitrogen 15 N) sulphur 34 S) isotope ratios bones,...
This paper reports an unusual green pigment, brochantite (Cu4(SO4)(OH)6), on 16th-century Portuguese-Flemish paintings, attributed to the Master Frei Carlos workshop. mineral is usually identified as impurity or alteration product in pigments verdigris (Cu(CH3COO)2 nCu(OH)2) malachite (CuCO3 Cu(OH)2). However, after thorough investigation with a broad range of analytical techniques, it became clear that, this case, was applied pigment. The abundance, pigment granulometry, and morphology...
The knowledge of the isotopic composition virgin olive oil (VOO) allows evaluation authenticity and geographical origin, being an important tool against fraud. This study aimed to assess if VOOs produced in three Mediterranean regions could be discriminated on basis multivariate statistical analysis geoclimatic data. A total 138 geo-referenced VOO samples from Portugal, France Turkey two different cultivation years were collected. (δ13C, δ2H δ18O) was obtained using elemental analyzer...
