Heat (HAE)- and ultrasound (UAE)-assisted extraction methods were implemented to recover anthocyanins from red raspberry. Processing time, ethanol concentration, temperature or ultrasonic power the independent variables combined in five-level rotatable central composite designs coupled with response surface methodology (RSM) for processes optimization. The yield levels of cyanidin-3-O-sophoroside (C3S) cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) monitored by gravimetric HPLC-DAD-ESI/MSn methods,...

Placental malaria infection is mediated by the binding of malarial VAR2CSA protein to placental glycosaminoglycan, chondroitin sulfate. Recombinant subfragments (rVAR2) have also been shown bind specifically and with high affinity cancer cells tissues, suggesting presence a shared type oncofetal sulfate (ofCS) in placenta tumors. However, exact structure ofCS what determines selective tropism remains poorly understood. In this study, was purified chromatography using rVAR2 subjected detailed...

Mushrooms have long been valued for their taste and numerous health benefits. The Montesinho Natural Park is home to over two hundred edible mushroom species, yet climate change unsustainable practices affected availability. Controlled cultivation on forest substrates can contribute species preservation, a comprehensive review of nutritional chemical composition essential ensuring quality consumer confidence, while supporting biodiversity sustainability. By responsibly meeting the demand...
