Predictive Evaluation of Microbiological Stability of Soft Drinks with L. Stored at Temperature Shifts.

L., used in Chinese traditional medicine for centuries, has gained popularity in Europe in the last decade because of its health-promoting properties assigned to phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity. Goji fruits and extracts are often used as ingredients in popular homemade milk cocktails.

Microfluidic preparation of antimicrobial microparticles composed of l-lactide/1,3-dioxolane (co)polymers loaded with quercetin.

The resistance of microorganisms against commonly used antibiotics is becoming an increasingly important problem in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Therefore, the development of novel bactericidal agents, as well as the design of drug delivery systems based on materials composed of biocompatible and biodegradable building blocks, has attracted increasing attention. To address this challenge, microparticles composed of l-lactide homopolymer and l-lactide/1,3-dioxolane (co)polymers loaded with quercetin (Q) were fabricated by using a microfluidic technique.

Chemical and Biological Characteristics of Plant of Mongolian Origin.

is used in Mongolian traditional medicine due to its numerous reported health-promoting effects. To date, there are very few scientific reports that describe this species. In this article, its volatile oil composition, lipid extract composition, total phenolic and flavonoid content, antibacterial and allergenic properties are elucidated for the first time.

Chemical and Biological Profile and Allergenicity of Plant of Mongolian Origin.

is a medicinal plant recognized as a traditional Mongolian therapeutic and health-promoting food supplement. The aim of the study was to check the suitability of the tested plant for supporting the treatment of certain diseases. The following study is the first one to showcase the versatile scope of characteristics of , including its volatile oil composition, polyphenolic composition, lipid composition, phenolic and flavonoid contents, antioxidant activity, antimicrobial properties and ingestive allergenicity.

Olive Oil with Ozone-Modified Properties and Its Application.

Olive oil application in the cosmetic industry may be extended by its ozonation, bringing about new oil properties and increased stability. Olive oil treated with 0.04 mole O or 0.

Clove Oil ( L.) Activity against Biofilm on Technical Surfaces.

Acidotermophilic bacteria is one of the main contaminants in the fruit industry forming biofilms which are difficult to remove from the production line by conventional methods. An alternative approach aims for the use of essential oils to prevent biofilm development. The effect of clove essential oil on biofilms on glass and polyvinyl chloride surfaces under static and agitated culture conditions was investigated by atomic force microscopy and the plate count method.
