Estimation of ethanol and methanol exposure through jarred fruit purees
CONCLUSIONS: Our results show higher exposure doses of methanol and ethanol than allowable ones (methanol 2 and ethanol 6 mg/kg/day) in children consuming fruit purees. This should be handled as a public health risk and further comprehensive studies should be enrolled on the chronic toxic effects of food-derived alcohols. Besides, food-derived exposure to toxic chemicals from early life should be more questioned by physicians (in assessing chronic diseases), and related authorities should establish a sustainable, safe, and healthy food production policy.PMID:38088392 | DOI:10.4415/ANN_23_04_04 (Source: Annali dell'Istituto...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMaleic hydrazide (MH) is a plant growth regulator, herbicide, and sprout inhibitor used to improve the growth and quality of certain vegetables and fruits, unfortunately, MH has genotoxic and carcinogenic effects; thus, MH residues in food need to be analyzed. Herein, magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (MagMIP) were synthesized by radical polymerization in just 30 min using a microwave for rapid and selective extraction of MH.

Inclusivity at surgical meetings: Can we do better through food?
Imagine this: You're at an academic conference and have just delivered an oral presentation. It's 1PM and the effects of your morning coffee and breakfast are wearing off. Your stomach growls while networking with attendees. An overhead announcement invites you to attend the open luncheon, only to realize that you can't eat the food provided because it's not Halal. You grab carrots and humus, and your colleagues ask why your plate is so empty. You have a few options here. Option 1: you tell them you only eat Halal food; this runs the risk of needing to explain what Halal food is, then receive a few apologies and a general ...

Toxicogenetic, biochemical, and anatomical effects of the herbicide Clethodim on Allium cepa L
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Nov 25. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-31048-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPesticides are compounds with several chemical or biological agents developed to potentiate the biocide action. Their use is associated with increased economic and agricultural productivity worldwide but can harm health and the environment, damaging existing biota. Clethodim is a systemic post-emergent herbicide for grasses, highly selective for cotton, coffee, onions, carrots, soybeans, etc. Therefore, this work aimed to evaluate the harmful effect of the herbicide Clethodim with the model plant Allium cepa.

Natural terpene-based derivatives to control postharvest sclerotinia rot and the involved potential mechanism
Int J Food Microbiol. 2023 Oct 27;409:110461. doi: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2023.110461. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn an effort to develop novel postharvest preservatives of satisfactory environmental compatibility from natural monoterpene, a series of terpene-based derivatives containing oxime ester were designed and prepared. In this research, the inhibitory effect of target compounds against S. sclerotiorum were evaluated though in vitro and in vivo tests. It was investigated that most compounds exhibited promising antifungal activity, especially compound 4k with EC50 value of 3.02 μg/mL, which was significantly super...

Seeking Meaning in the Void
One of the most important jobs in elementary school can be distilled down to two words: line leader. This is the mighty carrot to mobilize ordinarily sluggish children through their morning routine, as they look forward to standing proudly at the front of their classroom line. I have witnessed this phenomenon myself, as my first-grade son was chosen to be the glorious line leader of room 15. He moved with a sense of urgency in the morning to pack his backpack, fill his water bottle, and put on his shoes and socks, all with zero parental prompting.

Effect of Foam-mat Drying on Bioactive, Powder and Thermal Properties of Carrot Juice Powders
In this study, powder properties of foam-mat dried carrot juice powders including 15% egg albumen (EA) and 15% egg albumen+ 10% whey protein isolate (WPI) during 90 days of storage at room conditions were evaluated by means of physical, chemical, thermal (DSC and TGA) and microstructural (SEM) analyses. The powder flow properties (wettability, hygroscopicity, degree of caking, Carr index and Hausner ratio) have been significantly affected from the moisture uptake during storage; however, powder flow properties of 15% EA+ 10% WPI powders were found to be better than 15% EA powders as it was also confirmed by particle diamet...
