Selenium-rich food potentially useful to control mercury levels among Afro-Colombians: Towards an intercultural intervention
CONCLUSION: It is proposed that the banana juice, the pineapple colada, the borojó (Borojoa patinoi) sorbet, the cucas, and the enyucado are basic elements for a culturally acceptable intervention.PMID:38109141 | PMC:PMC10768523 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.6981 (Source: Biomedica : Revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud)

Reinforcing effect of ε-polylysine-carboxymethyl chitosan nanoparticles on gelatin-based film: Enhancement of physicochemical, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Nov 18:128043. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128043. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe development and application of antibacterial film were highly anticipated to prevent food spoilage caused by bacteria. In this investigation, antibacterial and antioxidant functionalized gelatin-based film was formed with the incorporation of oregano essential emulsion Pickering emulsion (OPE). ε-Polylysine-Carboxymethyl Chitosan nanoparticles (CMCS-ε-PL) composed of different mass ratios of CMCS and ε-PL were orchestrated by electrostatic forces and hydrogen bonding, which effectively acted as a stabilizer fo...

Effect of rosin based quaternary ammonium salt on mechanical, hydrophily, antibacterial of cornstarch/polydopamine film for food packaging
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Nov 16:128117. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128117. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFood packaging made of biobased materials is environmentally friendly, among which starch film is a type of biobased packaging with great development value. Some existing studies have attempted to add polydopamine (PDA) to enhance cross-linking, but there are still problems such as weakness and hydrophilicity, which greatly limit its application. Therefore, this study synthesized rosin based quaternary ammonium salt-modified cornstarch (ST-B), which was used to replace part of unmodified cornstarch (ST). In the prepa...

Blueberry intervention mitigates detrimental microbial metabolite trimethylamine N ‐oxide by modulating gut microbes
Blueberry intervention mitigates detrimental microbial metabolite trimethylamine N-oxide by modulating gut microbes in preclinical model. This effect could be due to chlorogenic acid and increased phenolic contents in blueberries. AbstractGut microbes play a pivotal role in host physiology by producing beneficial or detrimental metabolites. Gut bacteria metabolize dietary choline and L-carnitine to trimethylamine (TMA) which is then converted to trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO). An elevated circulating TMAO is associated with diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and cancer in humans. In the present study, we investigate...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 7498: Dissipation and Dietary Risk Assessment of Prochloraz in Strawberries under Greenhouse Conditions
nxia Luan
Prochloraz and its metabolites in strawberries have not been determined until now. Meanwhile, few reports in the literature have concerned the dissipation behavior and risk assessment of prochloraz and its metabolites in strawberries under greenhouse conditions in Beijing. A method for the determination of prochloraz and its metabolites in strawberries was developed using QuEChERS in combination with ultra-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). Prochloraz and its metabolites recovered from strawberries were present in concentrations of 73.06% to 116.01%, their R...

Current-use pesticide exposure pathways in Czech adults and children from the CELSPAC-SPECIMEn cohort
CONCLUSION: In our study population, findings indicate diet plays a significant role in exposure to the analysed pesticides. We found an influence of potential exposure due to spray drift and volatilization among the subpopulation residing near presumably sprayed crop fields to be minimal in comparison. However, the lack of data indicating actual spraying occurred during the critical 24-hour period prior to urine sample collection could be a significant contributing factor.PMID:37939438 | DOI:10.1016/j.envint.2023.108297 (Source: Environment International)

Historic dam removal poses challenge of restoring both river and landscape
Standing on an outcrop of volcanic rock, Joshua Chenoweth looks across the languid waters of California’s Iron Gate Reservoir and imagines the transformation in store for the landscape. In early 2024, operators will open the floodgates on the 49-meter-high dam that blocks the Klamath River, allowing the more than 50 million tons of water it impounds to begin to drain. Once it’s gone, heavy equipment will dismantle the structure. All that will remain of the 11-kilometer-long reservoir that filled the valley for 60 years will be steep-sided slopes coated in gray mud, split once again by a free-flowing river.
