Efficacy and mechanism of action of food isolated yeasts in the control of Aspergillus flavus growth on pistachio nuts
Food Microbiol. 2022 Dec;108:104100. doi: 10.1016/j.fm.2022.104100. Epub 2022 Aug 6.ABSTRACTDue to its nutritional characteristics, dried fruit and in particular pistachio is considered an important component in the daily diet. Unfortunately, pistachio nuts can be contaminated during storage with a wide range of pathogenic fungi, including Aspergillus flavus. The present work has evaluated how the use of two yeast strains belonging to the species Wickerhamomyces anomalus and Metschnikowia pulcherrima can inhibit the in vitro and in vivo growth of A. flavus. Both yeast strains demonstrated a good in vitro antifungal activit...

Assessment of wild turmeric-based eco-friendly yellow natural bio-colorant for dyeing of wool fabric
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2022 Aug 16. doi: 10.1007/s11356-022-22450-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe current study has been designed to observe the coloring efficacy of wild turmeric-based natural yellowish colorant for wool dyeing under microwave (MW) treatments. Extracts and fabrics have been exposed to MW treatment for up to 10 min. Surface morphology and changes in the fabric's chemical nature before and after radiation have been studied through SEM and FTIR, respectively. The results obtained after a series of experiments show that using 45 mL of aqueous extract (pH = 5) in the presence of 1.5g/100mL of table s...
