Chemically Modified Clay Adsorbents Used in the Retention of Protein and Polyphenolic Compounds from Sauvignon Blanc White Wine.

During the manufacturing process of white wine, various physicochemical reactions can occur and can affect the quality of the finished product. For this reason, it is necessary to apply different treatments to minimize distinct factors such as protein instability and pinking phenomenon, which can affect the organoleptic properties of wines and their structure. In this work, a new method for the preparation of a sorbent-type material is presented through the fractional purification of native bentonite in three fractions (Na-BtF1, Na-BtF2, and Na-BtF3).

Retention of Phthalates in Wine Using Nanomaterials as Chemically Modified Clays with H, H, H Boltron Dendrimers.

The presence of phthalic acid esters in wines presents a major risk to human health due to their very toxic metabolism. In this paper, aluminosilicate materials were used, with the aim of retaining various pollutants and unwanted compounds in wine. The pollutants tested were di-butyl and di-ethyl hexyl phthalates.

From Neurocardiology to Stroke-Heart Syndrome.

The Stroke-Heart syndrome is a major chapter in neurocardiology. Both brain-heart and stroke-heart correlations are based on neurophysiological studies that define and describe the relation between the central autonomic system and cardiac function and it will be presented in this narrative review. The Stroke-Heart syndrome groups the entire spectrum of cardiac changes - clinical, ECG, echocardiographic, biological, morphological - that occur in the first 30 days from the onset of stroke, especially in the first days.

Prognostic biomarkers in endometrial adenocarcinoma.

Endometrial carcinoma is the most common malignancy in the female genital system and has increased in incidence during the past years. Our study was retrospective and included 79 patients with diagnosed endometrial adenocarcinoma. The parameters investigated in the study included clinical status, menopause, history of estrogen intake, obesity, histological results, transvaginal ultrasonography.

Modelling of Batch Lactic Acid Fermentation in the Presence of Anionic Clay.

Batch fermentation of milk inoculated with lactic acid bacteria was conducted in the presence of hydrotalcite-type anionic clay under static and ultrasonic conditions. An experimental study of the effect of fermentation temperature (=38-43 °C), clay/milk ratio (=1-7.5 g/L) and ultrasonic field (=0 and 35 kHz) on process dynamics was performed.
