Abstract
This study aimed to develop a multifunctional active composite film to extend the shelf life of minced pork. The composite film was prepared by incorporating zinc-doped grapefruit peel-derived carbon quantum dots (Zn-GFP-CD) into a cellulose nanofiber (CNF) matrix. The resulting film significantly improved UV-blocking properties from 39.0 % to 85.7 % while maintaining the film transparency. Additionally, the CNF/Zn-GFP-CD5% composite film exhibits strong antioxidant activity with ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities of 99.8 % and 77.4 %, respectively. The composite film also showed excellent antibacterial activity against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. When used in minced pork packaging, the composite films effectively inhibit bacterial growth, maintaining bacterial levels below 7 Log CFU/g after 15 days and sustaining a red color over a 21-day storage period. Additionally, a significant reduction in the lipid oxidation of the minced pork was observed. These CNF/Zn-GFP-CD composite films have a great potential for active food packaging applications to extend shelf life and maintain the visual quality of packaged meat.

Artificial intelligence application in adsorption of uremic toxins: Towards the eco-friendly design of highly efficient with potential applications as hemodialysis membranes. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 241:117671. [PMID: 37984789 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117671] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Revised: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 11/22/2023]
Abstract
Six Functionalized Activated Carbon Cloths (FACCs) were designed to obtain fundamental information for training a Bayesian Regularized Artificial Neural Network (BRANN) capable of predicting adsorption capacity of the FACCs to synthesize tailor-made materials with potential application as dialysis membranes. Characterization studies showed that FACCs have a high surface area (1354-2073 m2 g-1) associated with increased microporosity (W0, average: 0.57 cm3 g-1). Materials are carbonaceous, with a carbon content between 69 and 92%. Chemical treatments modify the pHpzc of materials between 4.1 and 7.8 due to incorporating functional groups on the surface (C=O, -COOH, -OH, -NH, -NH2). Uremic toxins tests showed a high elimination rate of p-cresol (73 mg g-1) and creatinine (90 mg g-1) which is not affected by the matrix (aqueous solution and simulated serum). However, in the case of uric acid, adsorption capacity decreased from 143 mg g-1 to 71 mg g-1, respectively. When comparing the kinetic constants of the adsorption studies in simulated serum versus the studies in aqueous solution, it can be seen that this does not undergo significant changes (0.02 min-1), evidencing the versatility of the material to work in different matrices. The previous studies, in combination with characterization of the materials, allowed to establish the adsorption mechanism. Thus, it permitted to train the BRANN to obtain mathematical models capable to predict the kinetic adsorption of the toxins studied. It is concluded that the predominant adsorption mechanism is due to π-π interactions between the adsorbate unsaturations with the material's pseudo-graphitic planes. Results show that FACCs are promising materials for hemodialysis membranes. Finally, taking into consideration the adsorption capacities and rates, as well as the semiquantitative analysis of the environmental impact associated with the preparation of the adsorbents, the best adsorbent (CC, Eco-Scale = 91.5) was selected. The studies presented show that the material is eco-friendly and highly efficient in the elimination of uremic toxins.

Biochar for agronomy, animal farming, anaerobic digestion, composting, water treatment, soil remediation, construction, energy storage, and carbon sequestration: a review. ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY LETTERS 2022; 20:2385-2485. [PMID: 35571983 PMCID: PMC9077033 DOI: 10.1007/s10311-022-01424-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 52] [Impact Index Per Article: 26.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2022] [Accepted: 02/22/2022] [Indexed: 05/06/2023]
Abstract
In the context of climate change and the circular economy, biochar has recently found many applications in various sectors as a versatile and recycled material. Here, we review application of biochar-based for carbon sink, covering agronomy, animal farming, anaerobic digestion, composting, environmental remediation, construction, and energy storage. The ultimate storage reservoirs for biochar are soils, civil infrastructure, and landfills. Biochar-based fertilisers, which combine traditional fertilisers with biochar as a nutrient carrier, are promising in agronomy. The use of biochar as a feed additive for animals shows benefits in terms of animal growth, gut microbiota, reduced enteric methane production, egg yield, and endo-toxicant mitigation. Biochar enhances anaerobic digestion operations, primarily for biogas generation and upgrading, performance and sustainability, and the mitigation of inhibitory impurities. In composts, biochar controls the release of greenhouse gases and enhances microbial activity. Co-composted biochar improves soil properties and enhances crop productivity. Pristine and engineered biochar can also be employed for water and soil remediation to remove pollutants. In construction, biochar can be added to cement or asphalt, thus conferring structural and functional advantages. Incorporating biochar in biocomposites improves insulation, electromagnetic radiation protection and moisture control. Finally, synthesising biochar-based materials for energy storage applications requires additional functionalisation.

Abstract
Grapefruit (GF) Citrus Χ paradisi Macfad (F. Rutaceae) is one of the major citrus fruits that encompass a myriad of bioactive chemicals and most unique among citrus fruits. Nevertheless, no study has yet to assess comprehensively its multitudinous constituents, health benefits, and valuable waste products. Hereto, the present review provides an updated comprehensive review on the different aspects of GF, its juice production, waste valorization, enhancement of its byproducts quality, and compared to other citrus fruits. Grapefruit uniqueness among other citrus fruits stands from its unique taste, flavor, and underlying complex chemical composition. Despite limonene abundance in peel oil and grapefruit juice (GFJ) aroma, nootkatone and sulfur compounds are the key determinants of its flavor, whereas flavanones contribute to its bitter taste and in conjunction with limonoids. Different postharvest treatments and juice processing are reviewed and in context to its influence on final product quality and or biological effects. Flavanones, furanocoumarins, and limonoids appear as the most prominent in GF drug interactions affecting its metabolism and or excretion. Valorization of GF peel is overviewed for its utilization as biosrobent, its oil in aromatherapy, limonene as antimicrobial or in cosmetics, fruit pectin for bioethanol production, or as biosorbent, and peel phenolics biotransformation. The present review capitalizes on all of the aforementioned aspects in GF and further explore novel aspects of its juice quality presenting the full potential of this valued multi-faceted citrus fruit.
