Reverse osmosis (RO) desalination technology offers a promising solution for mitigating water scarcity. However, one of the major challenges faced by RO membranes is biofouling, which significantly increases the desalination costs. Traditional simula...
In this study, we investigate the valorization of asparagus processing by-products—cut-off waste (CAW) and whole asparagus waste (WAW)—as sources of bioactive compounds, primarily polyphenolics, and their conjugation with chitosan (CS) to...
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of oral hormone therapy (HT) on oxidative stress (OS) in postmenopausal women with metabolic syndrome (MetS). A randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial was carried out. We formed four group...
Research has been conducted on the development of an innovative organomineral fertilizer based on local lake resources as a stimulator of germination and growth of crops, as one of the factors in achieving the goal of environmental sustainability. Th...
Plum edible part was used to obtained extracts by during a 4 h maceration process using three different solvents (ethanol, methanol and water) for the determination of total phenols and flavonoids, antioxidant capacity by (2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethy...
Background/Objectives: Excess weight and dyslipidemia are health conditions growing worldwide in children, including indigenous populations. The concern is their related comorbidities, which could appear at an early age. Given limited information on...
