A method is presented in which pressurized-fluid extraction (PFE) is used for the extraction of chlorinated paraffins (CP) from the biodegradable fraction of source-separated household waste. The conditions that were optimized for high recovery in the extraction procedure were extraction time, temperature, and the use of different solvents and different sample particle sizes, Recoveries of CP from fortified household waste material were over 90%, with only few interferences when cyclohexane was used as solvent. Extraction yields from contaminated samples containing CP were further compared with recoveries obtained by use of Soxtec extraction. The results showed that PFE is a rapid, low-solvent-consuming technique, giving high yields.

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a common condition that manifests as ulcerative lesions in the oral mucosa. In this study, bilayer, mucoadhesive nanofibers loaded with pomegranate flower extract (PFE) were prepared using thiolated gelatin (TGel) and thiolated chitosan (TCS) as the active layer and drug-free polycaprolactone (PCL) as the backing layer. Gelatin (Gel) and chitosan (CS) were successfully thiolated (proven by Ellman's assay, solubility, H NMR, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, and XRD) and electrospun into active nanofibrous layers with a diameter of 356.

Background And Aim: Alzheimer's disease (AD) poses a significant health-care challenge, often linked to cognitive decline caused by oxidative stress. This study investigated the potential neuroprotective effects of the a leaf extract (PFE) in rats that exhibited scopolamine-induced dementia mimicking AD.
Materials And Methods: Forty-two male rats were treated with either donepezil (0.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are used in the production of PTFE based coatings for cookware. In this study, emission of PFAS and further volatile organic compounds (VOC) from kitchenware articles were investigated. First, method development for thermal extraction of baking trays, frying pans and baking mats at 250 °C was done by testing three different extraction devices.

Pigmented Thai rice varieties, including purple (Riceberry) and red (Hommali), are gaining popularity due to their health benefits as a source of polyphenols that may exert a hypoglycemic effect through specific inhibition of amylolytic enzymes. This study determined the free phenolic extract from purple rice bran (PFE) to exhibit notably greater content of phytochemical compounds than did phenolic extracts from red rice bran, whether free (RFE) or bound fractions. This phytochemical content correlated with increased antioxidant activity and strong inhibition capacity against amylolytic enzymes, suppressing the conversion of carbohydrates into glucose.
