Valorization of Hordeum vulgare Residues into Activated Carbon for Paracetamol Removal from Water

The presence of pharmaceutical compounds in aquatic systems represents a growing concern due to their persistence and potential adverse effects on ecosystems and human health. In this study, activated carbon obtained from Hordeum vulgare residues was developed and evaluated for t...

Food Safety Assessment Based on Determination of Lipid Degradation Products in Meat Products

Lipid degradation is one of the main factors contributing to the deterioration of meat and meat products, significantly affecting sensory and nutritional properties and leading to the formation of multiple potentially toxic compounds that diminish food quality and negatively impa...

Inactivation kinetics of a strain of Bacillus subtilis , isolated from the effluent of a wastewater treatment plant, using peracetic acid: assessment in vegetative cells and endospores

ABSTRACT Summarizing the manuscript This study carried out the biochemical characterization and disinfection kinetics of a strain of Bacillus subtilis isolated from the effluent of a wastewater treatment plant and of a certified strain of the same species, using peracetic acid (P...

Multi‐objective optimization of phenolic compound extraction from fresh and dried rosemary ( Salvia rosmarinus ) using evolutionary algorithms

Abstract BACKGROUND A practical challenge in rosemary ( Salvia rosmarinus Spenn.) processing is selecting aqueous extraction conditions that balance total phenolic content (TPC) recovery across fresh and dried matrices. This study combined a Box–Behnken design, Folin–Ciocalteu qu...

Future of lithium industry in Chile and the national lithium strategy: integration of solar evaporation, direct lithium extraction, and controlled reinjection

The lithium industry in Chile is undergoing a critical transition from an extensive evaporitic model to a more efficient, sustainable, and technologically integrated operation. This paper analyzes the main challenges of the Salar de Atacama, considering its high lithium concentra...

Deep seeding resistance in maize: selected after domestication or a strategy of its wild ancestors to escape underground animal burrowing?

Abstract Buried seeds avoid predation ensuring their survival until conditions are suitable for germination. The ability of seedlings to emerge from the soil depends on soil characteristics, burial depth, and the skotomorphogenic program of each species. This process is of intere...

Psychometric properties of the Functional Appreciation Scale (FAS) in middle-aged and older adults in Mexico

The aging process involves a series of physical changes that accelerate after age 50, as functional decline is believed to begin early, marking the physical limitations that socially characterize old age. Body image therefore has a clear influence on the perception of vitality in...
