IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 3404: Prevalence of Aflatoxins in Selected Dry Fruits, Impact of Storage Conditions on Contamination Levels and Associated Health Risks on Pakistani Consumers
Aslam Rashida Aslam Dry fruits and nuts are nutritious foods with several health-promoting properties. However, they are prone to contamination with aflatoxins at all stages of production and storage. The present study aimed to determine the natural occurrence of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), aflatoxin B2 (AFB2), aflatoxin G1 (AFG1), aflatoxin G2 (AFG2), and total aflatoxins (AFT) in dates, pistachios, and walnuts collected from four districts of South Punjab (Pakistan), and to assess the associated health risks as estimated by dietary exposure and the Margin of Exposure (MoE) determinations. The contents of AFB1 and AFT in t...

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using mixed leaves aqueous extract of wild olive and pistachio: characterization, antioxidant, antimicrobial and effect on virulence factors of Candida
In this study, a successfully rapid, simple approach was applied for biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles AgNPs using for the first time the mixed leaves extract of Olea europaea subsp. europaea var. sylvestris and Pistacia lentiscus from natural association aimed to enhance their antimicrobial potential. The plant extract acts both as reducing and capping agents. When the aqueous extract was added to AgNO3 solution, the color was changed from pale to yellow to brown indicating the reduction of Ag ions and synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) without any solvent or hazardous reagents. The green synthesized AgNPs were ...

Protective effects of functional foods against Parkinson's disease: A narrative review on pharmacology, phytochemistry, and molecular mechanisms
Phytother Res. 2022 Mar 4. doi: 10.1002/ptr.7425. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn Persian Medicine (PM), PD (brain-based tremor) is a known CNS disorder with several therapeutic and preventive options. In their medical textbooks and pharmacopeias, Persian great scientists such as Rhazes (854-925 AD), Avicenna (980-1037 AD), and Jorjani (1042-1136 AD), have discussed pharmacological and nutritional strategies for the prevention, slowing progression, and treatment of PD. In the present study, we surveyed plant- and animal-based foods recommended by PM for the prevention and treatment of CNS-related tremors. In vivo and in-v...

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 1435: Microwave-Assisted Extraction Coupled to HPLC-UV Combined with Chemometrics for the Determination of Bioactive Compounds in Pistachio Nuts and the Guarantee of Quality and Authenticity
manidou Two novel microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) methods were developed for the isolation of phenols and tocopherols from pistachio nuts. The extracts were analyzed by reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography coupled with a UV detector (RP-HPLC-UV). In total, eighteen pistachio samples, originating from Greece and Turkey, were analyzed and thirteen phenolic compounds, as well as α-tocopherol, (β + γ)-tocopherol, and δ-tocopherol, were identified. The analytical methods were validated and presented good linearity (r2 > 0.990) and a high rec...

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 1039: Prediction of Compound Synthesis Accessibility Based on Reaction Knowledge Graph
In this study, based on the USPTO and Pistachio reaction datasets, a chemical reaction network was constructed for the identification of the shortest reaction paths (SRP) needed to synthesize compounds, and different SRP cut-offs were then used as the threshold to distinguish a organic compound as either an easy-to-synthesize (ES) or hard-to-synthesize (HS) class. Two synthesis accessibility models (DNN-ECFP model and graph-based CMPNN model) were built using deep learning/machine learning algorithms. Compared to other existing synthesis accessibility scoring schemes, such as SYBA, SCScore, and SAScore, our results show th...

Chronically  Pre-treatment of Pistachio Alters the Morphology of CA1 Hippocampus Neurons Following Transient Focal Cerebral Ischemia in Male Wistar Rats
CONCLUSIONS: Pistachio consumption reduces the volume of infarction and neuronal damage and improves neurological disorders after ischemia. Therefore, pretreatment with pistachio would have a protective effect against stroke.PMID:35075081 | DOI:10.23750/abm.v92i6.11622 (Source: Acta Bio-Medica : Atenei Parmensis)
