Ethnobotanical knowledge on native Brazilian medicinal plants traditionally used as anthelmintic agents - A review
Exp Parasitol. 2023 Apr 10:108531. doi: 10.1016/j.exppara.2023.108531. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIntestinal helminthiasis is a neglected disease that affects a significant portion of the global population, specifically in developing countries, where medicinal plants are widely used for therapeutic purposes. With the purpose to identify the native species used in traditional Brazilian medicine for the management of helminthiasis, ethnopharmacological books edited in Brazil documenting the folk use of medicinal plants were analyzed. The native species cited in at least three studies were selected, and bibliographic resea...

The metabolizable energy and lipid bioaccessibility of tree nuts and peanuts: a systematic review with narrative synthesis of human and in vitro studies
This study is the first to systematically review the metabolizable energy content and lipid bioaccessibility of tree nuts and peanuts. The results of this study suggest that the metabolizable energy of nuts is lower than expected, due to a lower lipid release during processing and digestion, and is impacted by nut type, physical processing and heat treatment of nuts.PMID:36934832 | DOI:10.1016/j.advnut.2023.03.006 (Source: Adv Data)

Aflatoxins contamination in raw and roasted cashew nuts in Mtwara, Tanzania
The aim of this work was to determine the contamination levels of raw and roasted cashew nuts sold in Masasi and Newala districts of Mtwara region in Tanzania. A total of 60 samples including 40 roasted (24 samples from Newala and 16 from Masasi) and 20 raw samples (12 from Newala and 8 from Masasi) were collected. Determination of total aflatoxins levels in raw and roasted cashew nuts sampl... (Source: African Journal of Microbiology Research)

Evaluation of the fermentation potential of lactic acid bacteria isolated from herbs, fruits and vegetables as starter cultures in nut-based milk alternatives
In this study, we screened 593 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolates from herbs, fruits and vegetables for their ability to acidify an almond-based milk alternative. The majority of the strongest acidifying plant-based isolates were identified as Lactococcus lactis, which were found to lower the pH of almond milk faster than dairy yoghurt cultures. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of 18 plant-based Lc. lactis isolates revealed the presence of sucrose utilisation genes (sacR, sacA, sacB and sacK) in the strongly acidifying strains (n = 17), which were absent in one non-acidifying strain. To confirm the importance of Lc. lactis s...

Effective aqueous chromate treatment using triethanolamine anacardate coated magnetic nanoparticles
This study reports cobalt superparamagnetic (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles (NPs) incorporated with triethanolamine (TEA) based surfactants from cashew nut shell liquid, namely TEA-CoFe2O4, for the removal of chromium (VI) ions from aqueous solutions. To have detailed characteristics of the morphology and structural properties, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) were employed. The fabricated TEA-CoFe2O4 particles exhibit soft and superparamagnetic properties, which make the nanoparticles easily recycled by using a magn...

Characterization of pyrolysis products from slow pyrolysis of three different Cashew wastes
This study aims to valorise these cashew wastes generated at different levels while processing cashew nuts in factories. The feedstocks include cashew skin, cashew shell and cashew shell de-oiled cake. Slow pyrolysis of these three different cashew wastes was performed at varying temperatures (300-500℃) at a heating rate of 10℃/min in a lab scale glass-tubular reactor under inert atmosphere of nitrogen with flow rate of 50 ml/min. The total bio-oil yield for cashew skin and the de-oiled shell cake was 37.1 and 48.6 wt.% at 400℃ and 450℃, respectively. However, the maximum bio-oil yield obtained for cashew shell was...
