Abstract The increasing resistance of microorganisms to conventional antibiotics calls for alternative antimicrobial strategies. This study introduces a novel approach acute wound healing by incorporating epitope-imprinted spongy cover materials with properties, using Tannic acid (TA) as the active agent within biocompatible cryogels imprinted gallic acid. were synthesized and characterized through Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), swelling tests, Scanning Electron Microscopy...
A total diet study (TDS) provides representative and realistic data for assessing the dietary intake of chemicals, such as contaminants residues, nutrients, at a population level. Reproducing through collection customarily consumed foods their preparation habitually eaten is crucial to ensure representativeness, i.e., all relevant are included potential sources substances investigated captured. Having this in mind, conceptual framework building food-shopping list was developed research task...
Aflatoxins are fungi’s secondary toxigenic metabolites and known as potent hepatocarcinogen for humans. The purpose of the present study is to assess health risk Turkish adult population posing by dried fig consumption due aflatoxin contamination. In order make this evaluation total 23.547 monitoring data figs from Ministry Food, Agriculture Livestock between crop years 2011/2012-2015/2016 in Turkey were used. Intakes estimated using concentrations expressed average adults’ body weight 72.8...
The variability associated with the aflatoxin test procedure used to estimate aflatoxins in bulk shipments of dried figs was investigated. Sixteen 10 kg laboratory samples were taken from each twenty commercial lots suspected contamination. Two 55 g portions comminuted sample using water-slurry comminution methods. Finally, two aliquots portion/solvent blend analysed for both B1 and total aflatoxins. variance testing measured partitioned into sampling, preparation analytical components...
Ergosterol is a key biochemical marker for fungal mycelial growth. In this study, molecularly ergosterol imprinted particles (Erg-MIPs) were newly synthesized the selective detection of in mold samples. Erg-MIPs characterized via scanning electron microscopy, swelling studies, and surface area measurements. Maximum adsorption achieved as 28.50 mg/g Erg-MIP. Selectivity studies showed that adsorbed Erg 2.01 3.27 times higher than cholesterol stigmasterol, respectively. from Aspergillus niger...
Aspergillus section Flavi isolates from dried figs were screened for aflatoxins, cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) and β-nitropropionic (BNP) production on yeast extract sucrose, czapek potato dextrose agar media. According to molecular identification, flavus (n=51) was dominant followed by parasiticus (n=5) tamarii (n=1). All toxigenic producing at least one of the mycotoxins. 98% A. strains produced aflatoxins (0.3-1,620 ng/g) CPA (0.07-398.2 μg/g), with 31% them also BNP (7.9-1,571.2 ng/g)....
Because aflatoxin limits vary widely among regulating countries, the Codex Committee on Contaminants in Foods (CCCF) began work 2006 to harmonise maximum levels (MLs) and sampling plans for dried figs. Studies were developed measure variability distribution replicated sample test results taken from same contaminated lot of figs so that a model could be evaluate risk misclassifying lots by plan designs. The was then used CCCF electronic working group (eWG) recommend MLs designs full...
Citric acid is of great economic importance due to its wide range applications. acid, which a versatile and widely used organic constitutes 60% acids in the food industry 10% those pharmaceutical industry. produced using various agricultural wastes as substrate through solid state or submerged fermentation. In this study waste grape pomace was proposed valuable alternative for citric production Initially screening capacity conducted 6 different Aspergillus niger strains (3 wildtype isolated...
Tannic acid (TA) is a hydrolyzable tannin found in the leaves and bark of many herbaceous woody plants. Purification TA important due to its antibacterial, antihistaminic, antioxidant, antimutagenic antitussive properties. In this study, 2- hydroxyethyl methacrylate-based TA-imprinted particle embedded cryogel (TA-MIP) was synthesized purify from pomegranate peel. Furthermore, non-imprinted (NIP) determine specific adsorption properties TA-MIP, control without embedding procedure. The...
