Fabrication of cellulose-collagen based biosorbent as eco-friendly scavengers for uranyl ions
Int J Biol Macromol. 2024 Apr 4:131400. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131400. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe aim of the present research is to fabricate a biosorbent using agricultural waste for removal of uranium from contaminated water i.e. "waste to wealth" approach. Cellulose extracted from wheat straw was mercerized and a novel semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) was fabricated through graft copolymerization of polyvinyl alcohol onto hybrid mercerized cellulose + collagen backbone. Response surface methodology was used for optimization of different reaction parameters as a function of % grafting (195.1 ...

Antifungal activity of extracts from < em > Justicia < /em > species against < em > Fusarium graminearum < /em >
Nat Prod Res. 2024 Apr 5:1-6. doi: 10.1080/14786419.2024.2334334. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFusarium graminearum causes destructive ear rot diseases in maize and wheat. New antifungals are essential to combat this pathogen, and aerial parts of Justicia species (Acanthaceae) are a potential source. We investigated the antifungal activity of extracts from stems and leaves of five Justicia species native to Northwest Argentina. The aerial parts were subjected to sequential extractions with dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and methanol. The resulting extracts were tested by the disc diffusion method against F. graminearum s...

Evaluation of Antifungal Activity of Endophytic Bacillus spp. and Identification of Secondary Metabolites Produced Against the Phytopathogenic Fungi
The objective of this research was to investigate the protective abilities of 15 endophytic Bacillus spp. isolated from previous study from wheat plant, against the phytopathogenic fungi, Fusarium graminearum and Macrophomina phaseolina. A dual culture plate assay was conducted as a preliminary analysis, revealing that 7 out of 15 endophytic Bacillus spp. demonstrated inhibition against one or both of the phytopathogenic fungi used in this study. All seven endophytes were further assessed for the presence of diffusible antifungal metabolites. The cultures were grown in potato dextrose broth for 120 h, and the cell-free sup...

In vitro digestibility and solubility of phosphorus of three plant ‐based meat analogues
AbstractInterest in plant-based meat analogues has increased and can be expected to be applied to pet foods, which necessitates the understanding of the nutrient supply in those foods. Our primary aim was to advance our understanding of the digestive properties of sterilized plant-based meat analogues. The impact of the preparatory processing steps on the solubility of meat analogues was studied. Meat analogues were made by mixing water, salt, and wheat gluten with soy protein isolate, pea protein isolate, or faba bean concentrate. Mixed materials were processed into model meat analogues using shear cell technology. Produc...

Cereals and cereal products - a scoping review for Nordic Nutrition Recommendations 2023
Food Nutr Res. 2024 Feb 14;68. doi: 10.29219/fnr.v68.10457. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTCereals and cereal products have traditionally been staple foods in many countries including in the Nordics and Baltics. Cereals can be consumed with their entire grain kernel and are then referred to as whole grains or can be consumed after removal of the bran or germ and are then referred to as refined grains. The terms cereals and grains are often used interchangeably. In this scoping review, we examine the associations between intake of cereals and cereal products and major health outcomes to contribute to up-to-date food-based dietary...
