Molecules, Vol. 26, Pages 7693: Comparison of Phytochemical Contents, Antioxidant and Antibacterial Activities of Various Solvent Extracts Obtained from & lsquo;Maluma & rsquo; Avocado Pulp Powder
In this study, three types of solvent (acetone, methanol, and diethyl ether) were used to obtain the extracts from “Maluma” avocado pulp powder prepared by infrared drying. The extracts were analyzed for total polyphenols, phytopigments (total chlorophylls and carotenoids), antioxidant activities (ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and 2,2-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) assays), and antibacterial activities against seven pathogens (Shigella sonnei ATCC 9290, Escherichia coli ATCC 8739, Salmonella typhi ATCC 6539, Vibrio paraha...

Molecules, Vol. 26, Pages 7424: Scientifically Formulated Avocado Fruit Juice: Phytochemical Analysis, Assessment of Its Antioxidant Potential and Consumer Perception
Pravej Alam
The study’s purpose was to find and create a nourishing fruit juice made from avocado to suit nutritional and health demands. In this regard, the avocado juice was formulated using a statistical technique, and its biochemical and phytochemical characteristics were evaluated. Statistically formulated fruit juice was evaluated for its sensory characteristics, proximate composition, nutrients and vitamins, total phenols and flavonoids, and for its antioxidant ability, in addition to a shelf-life test. The optimal amount of all ingredients included in the mathematical model for the preparation o...

Degradation activity of fungal communities on avocado peel (Persea americana Mill.) in a solid-state process: mycobiota successions and trophic guild shifts
Arch Microbiol. 2021 Dec 4;204(1):2. doi: 10.1007/s00203-021-02600-3.ABSTRACTTo explore the capability of soil mycobiota to degrade avocado peel waste and identify relevant successions and trophic guild shifts, fungal communities from three environments with different land uses were evaluated in a solid-state process. Soil samples used as inoculum were collected from a pristine mature tropical forest, a traditionally managed Mayan land, and an intensively managed monospecific avocado plantation. Soil-substrate mixes were evaluated for 52 weeks to evaluate organic matter decay and the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio. Amplicon-base...

Optimization-based artificial neural networks to fit the isotherm models parameters of aqueous-phase adsorption systems
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2021 Oct 31. doi: 10.1007/s11356-021-17244-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAn artificial neural network (ANN) hybrid structure was proposed that, unlike the standard ANN structure optimization, allows the fit of several adsorption curves simultaneously by indirectly minimizing the real output error. To model a case study of 3-aminophenol adsorption phenomena onto avocado seed activated carbon, a hybrid ANN was applied to fit the parameters of the Langmuir and Sips isotherm models. Network weights and biases were optimized with two different methods: particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic...
