High-pressure carbon dioxide (HPCD), a novel non-thermal pasteurization technology, has attracted the attention of scientists due to its high pasteurization efficiency at a lower temperature and pressure. However, the inactivation mechanism has not been well researched, and this has hindered its commercial application. In this work, we used a sub-lethal HPCD condition (4.

Yttrium oxide (Y₂O₃) nanoparticles have widespread applications; however, toxicity due to these nanoparticles has also been reported. In this study, we evaluated the toxicity of Y₂O₃ nanoparticles according to the technical specifications published by the International Standard Organization (ISO/TS 19337:2016). We used Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model microorganism represented the environment.
