Today, food valorization represents an important challenge to environmental sustainability. Food waste can be used as a substrate for single cell protein production suitable animal feed. In this study, and agricultural waste, represented by fish, pineapple, banana, apple, citrus peels, have been simultaneously fermentation Saccharomyces cerevisiae, evaluate the possibility of using multi complex simultaneous biovalorization different waste. The process was implemented supplementation...
We present a novel sample preparation method for the extraction and preconcentration of volatile organic compounds from whiskey samples prior to their determination by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC × GC) coupled mass spectrometry (MS). Sample compounds, important organoleptic characteristics different whiskeys acceptance liking consumers, is based on use solid-phase microextraction (SPME) Arrow. After optimization, proposed was compared with conventional SPME regarding...
Agricultural food waste is rich in cellulosic and non-cellulosic fermentable substance. In this study, we investigated the bioconversion of pineapple cell wall sugars into bioethanol by simultaneous saccharification fermentation using Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 4126. Soluble insoluble were during process. Moreover, medium was for protein, moisture, ash, lignin glycerol determinations with a particular focus on increase single protein due to yeast growth, allowing total valorization...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) represent a diverse group of organic compounds characterized by the fusion two or more benzene rings arranged in various structural forms. Due to their harmful effects on human health, it is essential implement monitoring systems and preventive measures regulate exposure. Given affinity PAHs for lipids, extensive research has been focused presence vegetable oils. This study aimed develop an on-line liquid-gas chromatography (LC-GC) method (using tandem...
This review presents an overview of the recent advancements in microextraction techniques for pesticide residues analysis fruit juices, focusing on period from 2014 to 2024. Research articles were screened through Scopus database using pesticides, juice, and as keywords. Emphasis is devoted newly introduced solid supports advanced materials employed both micro solid-phase liquid-phase extraction techniques. By evaluating various representative studies, highlights synthesis novel sorbent...
The phylum Cnidaria is one of the most important contributors in providing abundance bio- and chemodiversity. In this study, a comprehensive chemical investigation on nutritional nutraceutical properties Mediterranean jellyfish
Magnet-integrated fabric phase sorptive extraction (MI-FPSE) is a sample preparation technique that has proved to be powerful tool for environmental analysis. The fabrication and application of magnet-integrated dual sorbent-based FPSE membrane prepared by combining two different sol-gel sorbent-coated disks polarities together with magnetic bar inserted between the membranes allow stirring, was examined as novel not required samples pretreatments. platforms (made up poly(tetrahydrofuran)...
The method herein described involves a rapid and limited-volume (0.5 mL of acetonitrile) solvent-extraction sample preparation process, for pesticide determination in hemp seed oil. extraction was characterized by the absence both clean-up or pre-concentration steps. extracts were directly analyzed through cryogenic-modulation comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. novelty characterizing present research [compared previous one (Arena...
The goal of this study was to develop a method for the determination nine phthalic acid esters in extra virgin olive oils using low-pressure gas chromatography-triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry. Sample preparation simple, environmental friendly, and rapid inasmuch that it involved only dilution (< 1 mL hexane). chromatography analyses were performed by 5 m wide-bore column. limit quantification phthalates ranged from 0.06 1.14 mg kg-1 . Both intra- interday precisions measured, with...
The study reports the alternative use of non-edible fermented olives for production high-quality natural soaps with a fast process, low environmental impact, and without preliminary treatments raw material. Damaged olives, not used as food, were naturally oil was extracted by mechanical extraction. product obtained human consumption due to its high acidity, but it had content peroxides. olive an extra virgin oil, produced from same cultivar, subjected saponification sodium hydroxide....
