Evaluation of the organoleptic characteristics of an oral nutritional supplement designed specifically for the cancer patient
CONCLUSIONS: cancer patients value the organoleptic characteristics of ONS with sweet flavors, such as brownie, and fruity flavors, such as tropical, much more positively. Less appreciated by these patients are those with a salty taste, such as ham and tomato flavor.PMID:36880737 | DOI:10.20960/nh.04362 (Source: Nutricion Hospitalaria)

Bromelain supplementation and inflammatory markers: a systematic review of clinical trials
The inflammatory process is a response mechanism to any stressor agent. Emerging novel therapeutic options derived mainly from natural products such as Bromelain have been used to reduce the significant side effects of available anti-inflammatory drugs. Bromelain is an enzyme complex derived from Ananas comosus, known for its anti-inflammatory potential and good tolerance. Therefore, the aim was to assess whether bromelain supplementation exerts anti-inflammatory effects in adults. (Source: Clinical Nutrition ESPEN)

Novel development of zinc oxide-coated carbon nanoparticles from pineapple leaves using sol gel method for  optimal adsorption of Cu < sup > 2+ < /sup > and reuse in latent fingerprint application
This study underlines a latest approach of preparing nitrogen carbon nanoparticles fused on zinc oxide nanoparticle nanocomposite (N-CNPs/ZnONP nanocomposite) for the uptake of copper ions (Cu2+) from wastewater using a sol gel method. The metal loaded adsorbent was then applied in the latent fingerprint application. N-CNPs/ZnONP nanocomposite proved to be a good sorbent for the optimal adsorption of Cu2+ at pH 8 and 1.0 g/L dosage. Langmuir isotherm best fitted the process with the maximum adsorption capacity of 285.71 mg/g that was superior to most values reported in other studies for the removal of Cu2+. At 25 °C, the ...

Properties of bacterial cellulose acetate nanocomposite with TiO < sub > 2 < /sub > nanoparticle and graphene reinforcement
This study aims to observe the influence of TiO2 nanoparticles and graphene on the characteristic of bacterial cellulose acetate-based nanocomposite membranes for bacterial filtration in waters. Bacterial cellulose was produced from the pineapple peel waste using fermentation process. High-pressure homogenization process was applied to reduce bacterial nanocellulose size and esterification process was carried out to produce cellulose acetate. Nanocomposite membranes were synthesized with reinforcement of TiO2 nanoparticles 1 % and graphene nanopowder 1 %. The nanocomposite membrane was characterized using an FTIR, SEM, XRD...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 2019: Molecular Docking and In Vitro Studies of Ochratoxin A (OTA) Biodetoxification Testing Three Endopeptidases
This study is the first attempt to demonstrate that: (i) bromelain and trypsin can hydrolyse OTA in acidic pH conditions with low efficiency and (ii) the metalloendopeptidase was an effective OTA bio-detoxifier. This study confirmed &amp;alpha;-ochratoxin as a final product of the enzymatic reactions in real-time practical information on OTA degradation rate, since in vitro experiments simulated the time that food spends in poultry intestines, as well as their natural pH and temperature conditions.

Application of Nanocellulose Biofilter from Pineapple Peel Waste for Water Microbes Removal
J Environ Public Health. 2023 Jan 28;2023:5823207. doi: 10.1155/2023/5823207. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTThis research aimed to assess the effectiveness of nanocellulose biofilter (NCB) made from pineapple peel waste to reduce the number of microbes in water. Further processing of cellulose from nata de pina into nano size was proposed, then transformed into a filter membrane. Three types of NCB were developed: bacterial cellulose acetate membrane, bacterial cellulose acetate membrane with TiO2 treatment, and bacterial cellulose acetate membrane with TiO2 and graphite nanoplatelet treatment. These NCBs were used to filter mi...

Determination of phthalic acid esters (PAEs) along with probabilistic health risk assessment in fruit juice samples in Tehran, Iran
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Jan 26. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-25313-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the present study, magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) method and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) technique were used to measure 6 PAE in fruit juice samples. The mean of total phthalic acid esters (ƩPAEs) in all samples was 3.55 ± 0.66 µg/L. The mean concentration of DEHP (bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate) in samples was 0.82 ± 0.31 µg/L, which was lower than the mentioned United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) standard level in drinking water (6 μg/L for DEHP).
