We demonstrate enhanced Pickering emulsion stabilization by modified starch nanoparticles (SNP) through their combination with chitin nanocrystals (ChNC). The effect of the biopolymer’s ratio on the emulsion stabilization mechanisms was elucidated based on their role at the interface and bulk pha...

Developing sustainable alternatives to the chemical control of Panama disease in banana tree is essential. This study aimed to evaluate the dual role of Trichoderma strains isolated from banana tree rhizosphere in suppressing the disease severity and promoting plant growth. The isolates ...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) involves chronic hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, low-grade inflammation, and oxidative stress that drive cardiometabolic and renal damage despite current therapies. Sodium–glucose cotransporter (SGLT) inhibitors have reshaped the treatment landscape, but residual risk and safe...

Flamboyant-mirim seed flour (FSF) emerges as a promising natural ingredient obtained from grains rich in proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, and bioactive compounds. This study aimed to characterize FSF and evaluate the effect of particle size on its chemical, physicochemical, technological, mineral,&#...

Bio-based carbon nanomaterials have attracted increasing interest as sustainable alternatives to conventional dyes and pigments due to their tunable optical properties and multifunctionality. In this work, carbon-based nanopigments were synthesized from agro-industrial residues of açaí palm (Euterpe oleracea)&#...

Brewery spent grain (BSG) is a promising substrate for anaerobic digestion (AD). However, its lignocellulosic structure limits biodegradability. Steam explosion (SE) pretreatment enhances solubilization but may also generate inhibitory compounds, including free ammonia nitrogen (FAN), volatile fatty acids ...

The sandwich amperometric immunosensor based on pequi- derived carbon dots (CDs) for labeling second antibody represents a promising approach for a rapid and quantitative detection of Salmonella sp. in liquid (water used for washing chicken- CWW) and solid (cheese- CC1) samples. The ori...

The use of brackish water can cause severe effects and irreversible damage to the growth and physiological indices of agricultural crops. Thus, the agricultural environment emerges as an alternative to mitigate saline stress in tomato hybrids (Solanum lycopersicum L.). This study evaluated&#...

Purpose: The essential oil of Hyptis crenata (EOHc) contains several terpenes, many of which have anxiolytic-like activity. Thus, the aim of this study was to extract, analyze the chemical composition, and evaluate the anxiolytic-like effect of EOHc in mice using experimental approaches ...
