Extensive and growing use of different chemical pesticides that affect both the environment human health raises a need for new more suitable methods to deal with plant pathogens. Nanotechnology has enabled materials at nanoscale exceptional functionality in economic domains including agricultural production. This study aimed evaluate antifungal potential selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) silver (AgNPs) stabilized surface coatings characterized by charge on pathogenic fungi Macrophomina...
Many personal care products on the market contain endocrine disrupting chemicals, including parabens. Parabens are well known chemical additives used as preservatives. They have been found in mammary glands and breast cancer tissues. At same time, general public is increasingly exposed to plastic micro- nanoparticles generated during production waste disposal. Exposure cocktails a realistic scenario of high health interest, which many types compounds such these two may exhibit synergistic or...
Olive pomace extract (OPE) was investigated as a potential surface modifier for the development of green synthesis process selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs). In order to evaluate them nutraceuticals, obtained nanosystems were characterized in terms size distribution, shape, zeta potential, stability different media, gastrointestinal bioaccessibility and biocompatibility. Systems with unimodal distribution spherical particles obtained, average diameters ranging from 53.3 nm 181.7 nm, depending...
Tomato processing waste (TPW), a byproduct of the tomato industry, is generated in significant quantities globally, presenting challenge for sustainable management. While traditionally used as animal feed or fertilizer, TPW increasingly recognized its potential valuable raw material due to high content bioactive compounds, such carotenoids, polyphenols and pectin. These compounds have health benefits are growing demand pharmaceutical cosmetic industries. Despite this potential, broader...
Raw and purified mandarin peel-derived pectins were characterized combined with olive pomace extract (OPE) in the green synthesis of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs). SeNPs terms size distribution zeta potential, their stability was monitored during 30 days storage. HepG2 Caco-2 cell models used for assessment biocompatibility, while antioxidant activity investigated by combination chemical cellular-based assays. SeNP average diameters ranged from 171.3 nm up to 216.9 nm; smaller obtained...
Abstract Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) represent novel selenium (Se) formulation characterized by improved biocompatibility and a wider therapeutic range in comparison to inorganic Se. The aim of this work was investigate the possibilities functionalization SeNPs with olive pomace extract (OPE), rich health-promoting polyphenols, obtain innovative forms nutraceuticals. Cytotoxic antioxidative activities four types (polyvinylpyrrolidone stabilized (PVP SeNPs), polysorbate (PS...
Administration of cytotoxic agents like doxorubicin (DOX) is restrained by the effects on different non-targeted/non-cancerous tissues, which instigates development nano-enabled drug delivery systems, among others. In this study, imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) was selected to examine DOX nanoformulations non-targeted tissues. Chemical alterations induced liposomal (LPS) and poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLG) were assessed against ones conventional (CNV) formulation. Kidney cryosections...
