In recent years, food packaging has evolved from an inert and polluting waste that remains after using the product toward active item can be consumed along with it contains. Edible films coatings represent a healthy alternative to classic packaging. Therefore, significant number of studies have focused on development biodegradable enveloping materials based biopolymers. Animal vegetal proteins, starch, chitosan different sources been used prepare adequate for perishable food. Moreover, these...
This review examines recent advances in corrosion inhibitor technologies, with a focus on sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions that address both industrial efficiency environmental safety. Corrosion is ubiquitous problem, contributing to massive economic losses globally, costs estimated between 1 5% of GDP different countries. Traditional inorganic inhibitors, while effective, are often based toxic compounds, necessitating the development more non-toxic alternatives. The...
The development of methods for obtaining new materials with antimicrobial properties, based on green chemistry principles has been a target research over the past few years. present paper describes phyto-mediated synthesis metallic nano-architectures (gold and silver) via an ethanolic extract Melissa officinalis L. (obtained by accelerated solvent extraction). Different analytic were applied evaluation composition, as well characterization phyto-synthesized materials. cytogenotoxicity...
Juniperus communis L. represents a multi-purpose crop used in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industry. Several studies present possible medicinal properties of different taxa native to specific geographical area. The study aims evaluate genoprotective, antioxidant, antifungal anti-inflammatory potential hydroalcoholic extract wild-growing (Cupressaceae) Romanian southern sub-Carpathian hills. prepared hydroethanolic was characterized by GC-MS, HPLC, UV-Vis spectrometry phytochemical...
The widespread use of Tebuconazole-based fungicides in phytosanitary treatments on a wide range crops, the one hand, and lack official reports amount fungicide residues nearby water basins, other may lead to uncontrolled hazardous contamination sources used by resident population, serious effects environment public health. Our study explores acute toxicological risk this various organisms, from bacteria yeast fish, using battery tests (standardized Toxkit microbiotests semi-static tests). By...
Inflammation is the supreme biological response to illness. In Hauts-Bassins region, in traditional medicine, all parts of Cassia sieberiana and Piliostigma thonningii are used treat hepatitis inflammation. The aim this study was evaluate vitro antioxidant anti-inflammatory activities their aqueous extracts. High performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array (HPLC-DAD) ultra-high-performance coupled high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) analyses highlighted presence...
The present work describes, for the first time in literature, phytosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using Leonurus cardiaca L. extracts. influence extraction method (classical temperature and microwave extraction), as well extract concentration on characteristics nanoparticles, was studied analytical methods, such UV-Vis spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy. Experimental data suggest that use lower leads to smaller dimensions same...
With their phytoconstituents acting as reducing and capping agents, natural extracts can be considered a viable alternative for the obtaining of metallic nanoparticles. The properties phytosynthesized nanoparticles are dependent upon size morphology, which, in turn, tailored by adjusting different parameters phytosynthesis process (such extracts’ composition). In present study, we aimed to evaluate, first time literature, influence extraction method extract concentration on morphological...
The aim of the current paper is development phytosynthesized silver nanoparticles mediated by Raphanus sativus L. extracts obtained through two extraction methods (temperature and microwave) to test their potential application for controlling apple crops pathogens. materials were characterized X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission microscopy. All evaluated in terms antioxidant vitro antimicrobial activity (against bacteria, molds, yeast: Escherichia coli ATCC 8738,...
The purpose of this study was to assess the suitability Romanian Albanus hybrid Sorghum bicolor as a potential functional food ingredient. Ultrasound-assisted extraction in different solvents, together with spectrophotometric and chromatographic methods, used monitor variation total phenolic flavonoid content antioxidant activity raw sorghum grains before during short germination periods (24, 36 48 h). High-Performance Liquid Chromatography Diode-Array Detection (HPLC-DAD) investigation...
The study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant potential of sprout and seed extracts from three species plants, namely Glycine max (GMsp-sprouts, GMsd-seeds), Anethum graveolens (AGsp-sprouts, AGsd-seeds) Pimpinella anisum (PAsp-sprouts, PAsd-seeds), which are widely accepted by consumers have various applications in food flavoring, also natural medical treatments pharmaceutical industries. These plants rich valuable compounds that show a remarkable power associated with many health benefits....
Pomegranate variety properties are important not only to demonstrate their diversity but also satisfy the current market need for high-quality fruits. This study aims characterize pomological and physico-chemical features as well antioxidant capacity of Moroccan local cultivars (Djeibi, Mersi, Sefri 1 2) compared imported ones (Mollar de Elche Hicaz). The characteristics varieties were relatively diverse. juice (PJ) displayed a marketed variability in organoleptic quality properties, such...
