Article Synopsis
- Menthol is a terpene alcohol known for its strong minty flavor and aroma, commonly used in various industries like food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
- The study aimed to develop a new, cost-effective method for menthol crystallization, improving production efficiency compared to traditional methods.
- The researchers achieved about 99% recovery of menthol from mint oil using techniques like Temperature Programmed Cooling Process, Short-path Molecular Fractional Distillation, and Stripping Crystallization, and characterized the crystals with methods like SEM, XRD, and spectroscopy.
Background: Immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclasses play a crucial role in the immune response to viral infections. While total IgG levels can generally provide an indication on the immune response, specific IgG subclasses can offer more detailed information about nature of the immune response and stage of the infection. Herein, we addressed the value of both total (t) and SARS-CoV-2-specific (s) IgG-subclasses in distinguishing between infection-confirmed virus-qRT-PCR-positive (IC; V-qRT-PCR-P) and infection-unconfirmed virus-qRT-PCR-unchecked (IU; V-qRT-PCR-UC) Egyptians.

Evidence suggests a crucial role for sirtuin/nuclear factor-kappaB/nod-like receptor family, pyrin domain-containing 3 (SIRT1/NFκB/NLRP3) signaling and inflammation in PD and rotenone neurotoxicity. Hesperetin (C16H14O6) is a citrus flavonoid with documented anti-inflammatory activity.
