Pre-treated Bertoni extract was clarified via using calcium (Ca) based silica (Si) microspheres. Both adsorption and chemical treatment were applied to extracts, and their effects on clarification were determined by comparison. The study aimed to maintain the highest level of clarity by eliminating chemicals from the treatment procedure. Although close in range with chemical treatment, the highest level of clarity was obtained in the presence of sole Ca/Si application. Clarification was achieved in an interval of 95-99 % with applied procedures. Sustainable utilization of Ca/Si microspheres was investigated by conducting three consecutive adsorption cycles with used microspheres. Results indicated minor changes in clarification levels at the end of three straight runs with used microspheres. Sustainable adsorption of impurities from the extract without the use of additional chemicals was the highlight of the present study.

Research Background: The process for producing purified steviol glycosides from leaves (stevia) generally involves pretreatments, extraction, purification and crystallization. Pre-extraction or defatting can sometimes be a part of this process. It can remove impurities of low polarity, such as chlorophyll and fatty compounds.

High-resolution full lung CT scans now enable the detailed segmentation of airway trees up to the 6th branching generation. The airway binary masks display very complex tree structures that may encode biological information relevant to disease risk and yet remain challenging to exploit via traditional methods such as meshing or skeletonization. Recent clinical studies suggest that some variations in shape patterns and caliber of the human airway tree are highly associated with adverse health outcomes, including all-cause mortality and incident COPD.

Article Synopsis
  • * Out of 415 studies reviewed, only three met the criteria, revealing mixed results on HVLATs' effectiveness compared to sham treatments or other therapies, with no adverse events reported.
  • * Overall, the evidence regarding the efficacy of HVLATs for LSRS is considered "very low," indicating a need for more robust research to determine their actual benefits.

Stevia, a perennial shrub from the genus Stevia in the Asteraceae family, contains active ingredients like chlorogenic acid and shows promise as a natural feed additive. Despite this potential, there is limited research on the impact of stevia extract specifically on yellow-feather broilers. The study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary stevia extract with varying concentrations of chlorogenic acid on the growth performance, serum biochemical indices, and intestinal health of yellow-feathered broilers.
