There is an urgent need to increase the food supplies fulfil demands of future generations as population world expected grow beyond 10 billion by 2050. An essential component for ensuring global security reduce losses during post-harvest stage. Active edible coatings and films are a promising sustainable preservation technology shelf-life extension products hindering decay kinetics minimally processed fruits vegetables (F&V), restricting mass transfer moisture, aroma, or gases carrying...
Microplastic fibers from synthetic textiles have been indicated as a major source of pollution because millions are released into the environment by laundry washing. In fact, such types microplastics usually bypass wastewater treatment processes and filters, thus reaching oceans other water natural reservoirs in huge quantities. Nowadays, several approaches available for characterizing microplastics, but unfortunately, there is no unique standard method this aim. Among various methodologies,...
Kidney microscopy is a mainstay in studying the morphological structure, physiology and pathology of kidney tissues, as histology provides important results for reliable diagnosis. A modality providing at same time high-resolution images wide field view could be very useful analyzing whole architecture functioning renal tissue. Recently, Fourier Ptychography (FP) has been proofed to yield biology samples such tissues vitro cells while high resolution large view, thus making it unique...
Abstract Graphene is considered a possible drug deliver in nanomedicine for its mechanical, physical and chemical characteristics. Thus, studying graphene biocompatibility pivotal to contribute the modern nano-therapy science. The coexistence between cells should be analysed using non-invasive technologies thus quantitative phase imaging (QPI) modalities are suitable investigate morphometric evolution of under nanomaterial exposure. Here, we show how multimodal QPI approach can furnish...
Achieving microscopy with large space-bandwidth products plays a key role in diagnostic imaging and is widely significant the overall field of clinical practice. Among quantitative techniques, Fourier Ptychography (FP) provides wide view high-resolution images, suitable to histopathological field, but onerous computational terms. Artificial intelligence can be solution this sense. In particular, research delves into application Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) for dual-channel complex...
Microplastic (MP) pollution is seriously threatening the environmental health of world, which has accelerated development new identification and characterization methods. Digital holography (DH) one emerging tools to detect MPs in a high-throughput flow. Here, we review advances MP screening by DH. We examine problem from both hardware software viewpoints. Automatic analysis based on smart DH processing reported highlighting role played artificial intelligence for classification regression...
The objective of this work was to investigate the effect sodium caseinate concentration on physical-chemical properties coating solutions and films obtained by casting as a starting point for development an active minimally processed fruits or vegetables. Sodium at different concentrations (4%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 14%) were used system. viscosity desorption kinetic characterized. Minimally fennels coated dipping liquid dry thickness estimated assessing amount fennel during draining function...
Breast cancer is one of the most spread and monitored pathologies in high-income countries. After breast biopsy, histological tissue stored paraffin, sectioned mounted. Conventional inspection slides under benchtop light microscopes involves paraffin removal staining, typically with H&E. Then, expert pathologists are called to judge stained slides. However, staining operator-dependent, time resources consuming processes that can generate ambiguities due non-uniform staining. Here we propose...
Garment quality and preciousness depend on the type of textile fiber used in manufacturing. The softer rarer animal fiber, more expensive garment. cheapest clothes are made by mixing precious fibers such as cashmere with common ones sheep wool. To stop clothing counterfeit forgery, checking industries is pivotal. More general, law regulations require that declared composition a tissue meet some standards have to be assayed carefully expert operators. Microscopy techniques Scanning Electron...
A reliable diagnosis and accurate monitoring are pivotal steps for treatment prevention of COVID-19. Chest computed tomography (CT) has been considered a crucial diagnostic imaging technique the injury assessment viral pneumonia. Furthermore, automatization segmentation methods lung alterations helps to speed up lighten radiologists' workload. Considering assiduous pathology monitoring, ultra-low dose (ULD) chest CT protocols have implemented drastically reduce radiation burden....
The effect of an active coating based on sodium caseinate and propyl gallate the physical nutritional quality indices changes minimally processed fennel stored at different temperatures was investigated.

Plastic debris increase every day, invading the entire ecosystem, especially marine environment. The damage caused by plastics, and even more their fragmentation into micrometric samples, called microplastics (MPs), is becoming irrecoverable. Many techniques are used to analyse MPs, but a standardized procedure still missing. Digital Holography (DH) has proved be powerful imaging tool for identifying MPs in water highlighting highthroughput, label-free, high-coherent non-invasive prowess....
Marine waters are overwhelmed with tons of plastic debris by now. The ecosystem is cornered something invisible, but extremely harmful, i.e. microplastic particles. Here, we present how Digital Holography (DH) makes visible what not, in a label-free/compact manner, high throughput and adaptability to microfluidic systems. Microplastics can be detected classified thanks both DH principle artificial intelligence, thus ensuring the possibility conducting campaigns experiments for microplastics...
The development of more sensitive methodologies, capable quickly detecting and monitoring a microbial population present in specific biological matrix, as well performing to allow for the study all its metabolic changes (e.g., during formation biofilm) occur, is an essential requirement both well-being food industry. Two techniques, particular, have gained attention scientists: first “biospeckle”, optical technique representing innovative tool applications quality, safety, nutraceuticals....
