The increasing global concern over microplastic pollution has driven a surge in research efforts aimed at detecting microplastics across various ecosystems. Airborne (MPs) have been identified remote environments worldwide, including Antarctica. However, data on bulk atmospheric deposition remain scarce. From January to December 2020, was directly collected using passive samplers placed eight sites Victoria Land. Using Raman Microspectroscopy, MPs were six out of the seven samples (one...

Abstract The house cricket ( Acheta domesticus ) is considered one of the most promising farmed insect to be used as novel food, thanks its attractive nutritional profile and great taste. To best our knowledge, crickets in Europe are reared on soybean meal-rich feed which won’t sustainable long run. Insect producers have shown interest using more environmentally friendly substrates for cricket’s rearing. Among these, seaweed has been investigated ingredients However, no studies available. We...
This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the elemental profiles tea leaves coming from plants grown in several European gardens, with focus on bioaccumulation essential and potentially toxic trace elements relation to processing location garden. Samples were collected various gardens across Europe, including Portugal, Azores, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland. Elemental was conducted fresh leaves, dried processed for production green black tea, along soil samples root zones plants....
The Adriatic Sea is vulnerable to pollution due its low bathymetry, intense industrial activity, and tourism. In this context, a good depuration plant activity could play key role for the maintenance of environmental quality. framework AdSWiM project, “Managed use treated urban wastewater quality Sea”, study on dissolved potentially toxic element (PTE) levels was carried out assess impact wastewaters bathing waters in during 2019 2020 summer period. present study, three areas along...
Macronutrients (nitrogen—N; phosphorus—P; silicon—Si) play a crucial role in ocean surface waters stimulating the planktonic primary production; fact, their concentrations are fundamental for evaluation of trophic status water body and eutrophication phenomena. Loads nutrients into sea mainly represented by river runoff depuration plant outflows. For this purpose, framework AdSWiM project, “Managed use treated urban wastewater quality Adriatic Sea” levels N-NO3, N-NO2, N-NH4, Si-Si(OH)4,...
The house cricket (Acheta domesticus, AD) is one of the most consumed insect species worldwide due to its significant content high-quality proteins, and essential nutrients. However, notably high lipid presence, primarily characterized by a percentage saturated fatty acids (SFAs), presents health concerns. This study aimed produce low-fat crickets, with lower SFA an enriched profile healthy acids, particularly unsaturated (UFAs) known for health-promoting properties, in comparison crickets...
The exploitation of insects as protein sources in the food industry has had a strong impact recent decades for many reasons. emphasis this phenomenon its primary basis on sustainability and also to nutritional value provided. gender insects, specifically
