Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 7131: Volatile Organic Compound Profiles of Cystoseira corniculata (Turner) Zanardini 1841 and Ericaria amentacea (C.Agardh) Molinari and Guiry 2020 (ex. Cystoseira amentacea (C.Agardh) Bory de Saint-Vincent, 1832)
ić The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of fresh (FrCC) and air-dried (DrCC) Cystoseria corniculata and fresh (FrEA) and air-dried (DrEA) Ericaria amentacea from the Adriatic Sea were investigated by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and hydrodistillation (HD) and analysed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In HS-FrCC and HS-DrCC, aliphatic compounds were dominant, with decan-5-ol as the most abundant in HS-FrCC, but in HS-DrCC pentadecane dominated. Monoterpenes (&beta;-cyclocitral, &beta;-citral, and &beta;-cyclohomocitral) and sesquiterpenes (cubenol) were ab...

Comparative cost of diets for low-income families in the Caribbean
CONCLUSIONS: While the COVID-19 pandemic has added economic stressors to low-income households the basic vulnerability of the poor to obtain a healthy diet remains. Despite country variations, the findings point to the need for an increase in the minimum wage, particularly in Jamaica. It is essential to embed policies that ensure reduced economic and social vulnerability at the household level.PMID:36042704 | PMC:PMC9409605 | DOI:10.26633/RPSP.2022.120 (Source: Pan American Journal of Public Health)

COVID-19 and the social distribution of hunger in three Caribbean Small Island Developing States

Social protection programmes are a key component of efforts to alleviate the pandemic's consequences; however, equitable access must be ensured.PMID:36042709 | PMC:PMC9409604 | DOI:10.26633/RPSP.2022.61 (Source: Pan American Journal of Public Health)
