The phenolic composition of "lampante olive oil", "crude olive pomace oil", and "second centrifugation olive oil" was characterized by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV, fluorescence, and mass spectrometry detection. The phenolic profile of these olive oils intended for refining was rather similar to that previously reported for virgin olive oil. However, a new compound was found in these oils, which is mainly responsible of their foul odor. It was identified as 4-ethylphenol by comparison of its UV and mass spectra with those of a commercial standard. Although 4-ethylphenol was discovered in all oils intended for refining, its presence was particularly significant in "second centrifugation olive oils", its concentration increasing with time of olive paste storage. Similar trends were observed for hydroxytyrosol, hydroxytyrosol acetate, tyrosol, and catechol, the concentration of these substances reaching values of up to 600 mg/kg of oil, which makes their recovery for food, cosmetic, or pharmaceutical purposes attractive.

Position Statement: The International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) presents this position based on a critical examination of the literature surrounding the effects of long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (ω-3 PUFA) supplementation on exercise performance, recovery, and brain health. This position stand is intended to provide a scientific foundation for athletes, dietitians, trainers, and other practitioners regarding the effects of supplemental ω-3 PUFA in healthy and athletic populations. The following conclusions represent the official position of the ISSN: Athletes may be at a higher risk for ω-3 PUFA insufficiency.

It is well stablished that docosahexaenoic (DHA) and arachidonic (ARA) acids fulfill relevant biological activities, especially in newborns. However, oils containing these fatty acids are not always optimally digestible. To address this, various formulation strategies and lipid delivery systems have been developed.

Food commodities, including mycotoxins naturally produced from toxigenic fungi (pre- or post-harvest), are particularly vulnerable to contamination. The study intended to use unique bioactive composites loaded with antimicrobial constituents for food packaging. Three composite types are based on carboxymethyl cellulose/shellac (CMC/SH) and loaded with pomegranate extract (POE) with or without jojoba oil (JOE) at various concentrations.

Adrenoleukodystrophy is a genetic metabolic disorder characterized by a heterogeneous phenotype. Its severe form, known as cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy, involves unpredictable cerebral damage and progressive central nervous system deterioration. This rare condition became famous because of a Hollywood movie in which the Italian parents of a child with the condition supposedly discovered a medication for treating the condition.

Kaolinite stands out as a promising natural geomaterial for developing new therapeutic systems aimed at addressing global health challenges, such as multidrug-resistant infections. In this study, we report on the formulation and biological activity of a therapeutic mixture composed of white micronized kaolinite (KAO) and Ziziphora essential oil (ZEO), intended for topical application on infected wounds. GC-MS analysis revealed that the primary component of ZEO is pulegone, constituting 72.
