This work reports on the design of novel mixed valence hybrid N-doped carbon nanotubes/metal ferrite nanomaterials (MFe2O4, M(ii) = Mn, Fe, Co) with tailored composition, and magnetic and electrical properties through a straightforward eco-sustainable and less time consuming one-pot in situ coprecipitation process. The potentialities of this strategy rely on the lack of oxidative treatments to the support and thermal annealing, besides the use of aqueous conditions, a chelating base (isopropanolamine) and low temperatures. The process afforded the controlled nucleation/growth of the MFe2O4 nanoparticles (NPs), with sizes of 3.

The role of Maillard reaction products isolated from barley malt by gel permeation chromatography and ultrafiltration on the antioxidant potential of pale, melano80 and black malts was evaluated. The roasting process is responsible for the polymerisation of early formed lower molecular weight compounds (<10 kDa) into high molecular weight melanoidins (>300 kDa). Melanoidins showed 3-fold higher capacity to scavenge radicals than the lower molecular weight colorants by the metmyoglobin assay.
