The adsorption and the nucleation of different transition metals (Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Pd, Ag, and Au) on alumina/Ni3Al(111) have been studied to shed light on the first stages of the synthesis of supported nanoparticles, focusing in particular on the possibility of producing ordered arrays. Affinity for oxygen, atomic radii, electronic properties and kinetics have been taken into account to rationalize the different behavior. In agreement with empirical findings, Pd is confirmed to be the best choice for a highly ordered nucleation following the "dot" superstructure of the alumina, due to a remarkable preference for the corresponding adsorption sites (holes) with respect to others, and for a rather strong binding. Atom by atom nucleation of this material has been studied, for seeds up to 6 atoms that offer a stiff anchoring of nanoparticles to the support.

Due to their lipophilicity and low content, the major sesame oleosin allergens, Ses i 4 and Ses i 5, are challenging to identify using conventional techniques. Then, a novel unlabeled electrochemical immunosensor was developed to detect the potential allergic activity of sesame oleosins. The voltammetric immunosensor was constructed using a composite of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), polyethyleneimine (PEI), and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), which was synthesized in a one-pot process and modified onto a glass carbon electrode to enhance the catalytic current of the oxygen reduction reaction.

Considering the short shelf life of fresh pumpkin due to its high water content and the extensive use of dried pumpkin in the food industry, it is necessary to find an efficient drying method that minimizes water activity and preserves nutritional properties. In this study, the effects of hot air drying (HAD), vacuum drying (VAD), and conductive drying (CD) at 50, 60, and 70 °C on fatty acid profiles were investigated to determine optimal drying conditions that preserve fatty acid (FA) quality and associated nutritional benefits. Results showed that drying methods had a significant effect ( < 0.
