Optimization of bacterial cellulose production by Komagataeibacter sucrofermentans in synthetic media and agrifood side streams supplemented with organic acids and vitamins
Bioresour Technol. 2024 Mar 2:130511. doi: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.130511. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe effect of thiamine (TA), ascorbic acid (AA), citric acid, and gallic acid (GA) on bacterial cellulose (BC) production by Komagataeibacter sucrofermentans, in synthetic (Hestrin and Schramm, HS) and natural substrates (industrial raisins finishing side stream extract, FSSE; orange juice, OJ; green tea extract, GTE), was investigated. The Response Surface Methodology was found reliable for BC yield prediction and optimization. Higher yields were achieved in the FSSE substrates, especially those supplemented with AA, T...

Analysis of trace elements in processed products of grapes and potential health risk assessment
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2024 Mar 4. doi: 10.1007/s11356-024-32654-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRaisins and grape pekmez are consumed commonly by human all over the globe. Consumption of contaminated foods may be the likely pathway of heavy metal exposure. Therefore, the objectives of the present research were to quantify trace elements concentration in raisins and grape pekmez produced from locally grown grapes in Gonabad and to assess non-carcinogenic (HQ and HI) and carcinogenic (total cancer risk, CRt) health risks caused by trace elements exposure via oral intake of these products for children, teenagers, and a...

Analysis of a Pilot Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of Intravesical Sustained Release System of Lidocaine and Oxybutynin (TRG-100)
We congratulate Raisin et al.1 on their analysis of the safety and efficacy of TRG-100 via intravesical drug installation (IDI) for the treatment of patients with interstitial cystitis / bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), overactive bladder (OAB) and stented patients following endourological intervention (EUI). The results of their open label pilot study showcased statistically significant improvements across all patient groups. (Source: Urology)

Taylor Remora optimization enabled deep learning algorithms for percentage of pesticide detection in grapes
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Oct 18. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-30169-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the world, grapes are considered as the most significant fruit, and it comprises various nutrients, like Vitamin C and it is utilized to produce wines and raisins. The major six general grape leaf diseases and pests are brown spots, leaf blight, downy mildew, anthracnose, and black rot. However, the existing manual detection methods are time-consuming and require more efforts. In this paper, an effectual grape leaf disease finding and percentage of pesticide detection approach is devised usingan optimized deep learnin...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 7006: Dark-Chocolate-Coated BRS Clara Raisins: Phenolic Composition and Sensory Attributes
ez-Alonso Dark chocolate drag&eacute;e confectionary was made with BRS Clara raisins pre-treated with extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). The evaluation of the changes in the phenolic composition (flavonols, hydrocinnamic acid derivatives (HCADs), stilbenes and flavan-3-ol monomers, dimers, and proanthocyanidins (PAs)) resulting from the covering process showed that the chocolate coating was responsible for an increase in the concentrations of flavan-3-ols and PAs when compared to just the raisins. For the flavonols and HCADs, a reduction in the total concentration of compounds was observed when comparing the drag&a...

Aflatoxins and Ochratoxin A in dried fruits from Morocco: Monitoring, regulatory aspects, and exposure assessment
Regul Toxicol Pharmacol. 2023 Sep 29:105503. doi: 10.1016/j.yrtph.2023.105503. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe present study aims to investigate the presence of Aflatoxins (AF) in 180 samples dried fruits and Ochratoxin A (OTA) in 210 samples dried fruits and grape juices collected in Morocco. Mycotoxins were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to fluorescence detection and immunoaffinity columns (IAC) cleanup. Contamination levels were compared with the maximum regulatory limits (MRL) recently adopted in the country, and mycotoxin exposure of adult consumers was assessed. Results showed tha...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 5458: Sweet Wine Production from the Side-Stream of Industrial Corinthian Currant Processing: Product Quality, Antioxidant Capacity, and Volatilome
o Bekatorou In the frame of efforts to add value to the Mediterranean currant cultivation and processing sectors, which is essential for their sustainability, sweet wine production is proposed from the finishing side-stream (FSS) of premium quality Corinthian currants, involving complete fermentation using an alcohol-tolerant yeast followed by (i) the addition of FSS to extract sugars or (ii) syrup made from FSS to adjust sweetness. Wine was also made by (iii) ceasing fermentation at the desired sugar level by ethanol addition. The non-fortified wines had 15.2&ndash;15.5% ethanol, 115&ndash;145 g/L resi...
