Eeg Microstates and Balance Parameters for Stroke Discrimination: A Machine Learning Approach.

Electroencephalography microstates (EEG-MS) show promise to be a neurobiological biomarker in stroke. Thus, the aim of the study was to identify biomarkers to discriminate stroke patients from healthy individuals based on EEG-MS and clinical features using a machine learning approach. Fifty-four participants (27 stroke patients and 27 healthy age and sex-matched controls) were recruited.

Chemical Modification of Softwood Kraft Lignin with Succinic Acid.

This work explored the chemical modification of lignin with succinic acid for the first time. Temperature is crucial for the process, reducing reaction time and increasing conversion. In particular, at 160 °C for five h with 0.

Bioactive profile and microbiological safety of Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora beverages obtained by innovative cold extraction methods (cold brews).

Coffee cold brews have been gaining prominence and popularity among consumers worldwide. However, only a few studies have systematically analyzed their chemical composition or evaluated microbiological safety aspects. This study aimed to evaluate the survival of Bacillus cereus and Escherichia coli in cold brews prepared from roasted and ground Coffea arabica and C.

Microencapsulation of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) seed oil by complex coacervation: Stability and application in an instant caffè latte beverage.

Pomegranate seed oil (PSO) is rich in highly oxidizable bioactive conjugated linolenic acids (cLnA), limiting food applications. This study aimed to investigate the oxidative stability (room temperature for 90 days; 60 °C, for 10 days, vacuum-sealed or not), physical and morphological properties of PSO microparticles produced by complex coacervation (CC). An instant caffè latte beverage was formulated with PSO microparticles (30%) as a proof-of-application vehicle for the microparticles and physical properties were evaluated.

Anthocyanin-sensitized gelatin-ZnO nanocomposite based film for meat quality assessment.

Meat is considered a highly perishable food, and the interest in developing tools to monitor meat quality products has increased these years. A novel gelatin-ZnO-anthocyanin ternary nanocomposite film is proposed as a sensitive layer to meat quality monitoring in the present work. The incorporation of anthocyanin (ATH) on gelatin-ZnO (G-ZnO) film induced a sensitivity improvement of films towards ammonia vapor according to impedance measurements.
