Diabetes has become the third most serious threat to human health, after cancer and cardiovascular disease. Notably,

Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAn) have been produced as biomaterial from biowaste, especially snail shells (

Increasing the yield of extraction bioactive compounds from plants is high importance. Grape stems are widely discarded during wine-making process, despite their content in many valuable compounds. The aim this work was to examine whether use pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment could increase polyphenol and volatile extracts. For reason, a relatively low-energy consuming PEF process employed (low-electric strength, 1 kV/cm) for short time (30 min) at grape stems. In addition, effect...
