The efficacy of probiotics in providing health benefits may be related to their ability to survive at a sufficient concentration of 10 CFU/g during storage in food and colonization in the gastrointestinal tract. Microencapsulation is a viable method to improve the survivability of probiotics under harsh environmental conditions. In this research, microencapsulated (MLR) was produced by a two-layer extrusion technique with sodium alginate and wild sage () mucilage (SMM) in varying concentrations ranging from 0.

- * This study investigated the effects of a coating made from Lepidium sativum mucilage and varying concentrations of propolis extract on the preservation of buffalo meat over 9 days at 4°C.
- * Results indicated that both the propolis extract and Lepidium sativum exhibited significant antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, contributing to improved shelf life and reduced microbial growth in the meat samples.
Article Synopsis
- Myocardial fibrosis, characterized by excessive collagen in the heart, indicates injury severity in conditions like myocardial infarction and atrial fibrillation, making it essential for assessing treatment effectiveness.
- Current 3D cardiac MRI fibrosis analysis suffers from inconsistent methods and fails to consider the distribution characteristics of fibrosis, limiting its reliability.
- The newly proposed "Fibrosis Signatures" method offers a threshold-free, probabilistic approach, enhancing analysis by incorporating MRI distribution features and adjusting for uncertainties, leading to more accurate evaluations of cardiac fibrosis severity.
Natural substances and bioactive agents possess great potential in wound care based on their ability to promote healing and prevent infection. This study focused on the fabrication of antibacterial wound dressings by combining gelatin (G), tragacanth gum (TG), and galbanum essential oil (GEO) as a loaded drug. TG addition resulted in more elastic and flexible films besides enabling encapsulation of the hydrophobic GEO into the biopolymeric matrix.

In this study, calcium peroxide nanoparticles (nCaO) were utilized as an innovative oxygen-releasing compound for in-situ chemical oxidation. The study investigates the bioremediation of phenanthrene (PHE)-contaminated sediment inoculated with sp.
