The adsorption potential of iron acetate coated activated alumina (IACAA) for removal of arsenic [As (III)] as arsenite by batch sorption technique is described. IACAA was characterized by XRD, FTIR, EDAX and SEM instruments. Percentage adsorption on IACAA was determined as a function of pH, contact time and adsorbent dose. The study revealed that the removal of As (III) was best achieved at pH =7.4. The initial As (III) concentration (0.45 mg/L) came down to less than 0.01 mg/L at contact time 90 min with adsorbent dose of 1 g/100 mL. The sorption was reasonably explained with Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The thermodynamic parameters such as ΔG0, ΔH0, ΔS0 and Ea were calculated in order to understand the nature of sorption process. The sorption process was found to be controlled by pseudo-second order and intraparticle diffusion models.

Today, active packaging has become essential to increase food safety and decrease food spoilage. In this study, the aim was to delay spoilage and increase the shelf life of rainbow fish fillets with a new hybrid nanocomposite active packaging. Packaging was fabricated with Ethylene vinyl acetate and active compounds such as rosemary extract, zinc oxide nanoparticles, and modified iron (Fe-MMT).

Unlabelled: Recently, there has been a growing interest in the application of beneficial microorganisms to enhance crop performance. (MSR-1) are spiral-shaped, gram-negative bacteria that exhibit magnetotaxis with the help of magnetosomes (iron oxide or iron sulphide). They have exhibited biomedical and environmental applications; however, the agricultural utilization of these strains is yet to be explored.

Article Synopsis
- Fe-loaded red radish anthocyanin (RRA) and zein composite nanoparticles (FZNPs) were developed to enhance the color and stability of anthocyanin, providing better pH color sensitivity and retention over time.
- The incorporation of FZNPs into chitosan/zein (C/Z) films improved mechanical properties, reduced swelling, and increased hydrophobicity and thermal stability of the resulting smart films.
- These smart films change color in response to pH changes and acetic acid gas, allowing for quick food quality assessment through a smartphone app, which could be beneficial for food monitoring and supply chain management.

The quantification of glyphosate (Gly) and its metabolite aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) in food is often impaired by matrix components. Specifically, interaction between the analytes and natural matrix components in food leads to reduced analyte recovery rates. Here, we studied how the addition of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) impacted the QuPPe recovery rates of Gly and its metabolite in eight mostly problematic matrices using tandem mass spectrometry.
