Excess of copper ion (>2 mg/L) in water is toxic to human beings and the ecosystem. Various water treatment technologies for copper remediation have been investigated in the past. Along with industrial effluents, Bordeaux mixture is also a noteworthy copper contamination source in the agricultural ecosystem. In our study, the biosorbent efficiency of dried orange peel was investigated through an environment-friendly process for the removal of cupric ions. Effects of pH, adsorbate concentration, adsorbent dosage, and temperature for the removal of Cu (II) were studied. Slightly acidic environment (pH = 6) was found to be optimum for removal of copper. The equilibrium data were well fitted with the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The surface morphology of the adsorbent was studied using scanning electron microscope. Crystalline nonhomogenous surface was observed after copper adsorption. Desorption study indicated that 0.1N HSO is the best eluent for the removal of adsorbed copper from the powdered dried orange peel.

Background: Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE-ALDH7A1) is a developmental epileptic encephalopathy historically characterized by seizures that are resistant to antiseizure medications. Treatment with pyridoxine and lysine reduction therapies are associated with seizure control and improved developmental outcomes. In rare circumstances, patients have died prior to diagnosis and treatment with pyridoxine, and many patients are diagnosed after six months of age when lysine reduction therapies have limited efficacy.

Pollution caused by nonrenewable plastics has driven the use of natural polymers. Similarly, the disposal of food waste still harms the environment. Considering both aspects, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of incorporating orange by-product powder (OBP) as a reinforcing material into sodium alginate films with glycerol.

In recent years, the role of functional foods in addressing various health issues, including cancer, has gained significant attention. Among these, the cytotoxic and apoptotic properties of Malatya apricots hold particular interest for their potential therapeutic benefits. This study focused on exploring the effects of methanol and acetone extracts from four popular Malatya apricot varieties-Hacıhaliloğlu, Hasanbey, Kabaaşı, and Soğancı-on cancer cell lines.

Article Synopsis
- Saffron, derived from Crocus sativus flowers, contains crocin, a compound with potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, although research results have varied.
- A meta-analysis of 13 randomized clinical trials found that crocin supplementation significantly lowered levels of inflammatory markers like CRP, TNF-α, and IL-6 while increasing total antioxidant capacity (TAC).
- The most pronounced effects were observed with doses of 30 mg or more per day over at least 12 weeks, though crocin did not significantly impact erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) or malondialdehyde (MDA) levels.

Article Synopsis
- * Results showed that OR had higher levels of Vitamin C, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and pectin than PO, and both forms significantly reduced free radicals, especially at higher concentrations.
- * The research confirmed that both PO and OR can effectively scavenge free radicals and reduce DNA damage, suggesting their potential as safe, natural antioxidant sources for human consumption.
