The increasing demand for natural alternatives to synthetic fungicides has prompted research into natural products like essential oils for postharvest disease management. This study investigated the antifungal, antioxidant, cytotoxic, and genotoxic potential of essential oil mixtures derived from oregano, rosemary, and mint against Penicillium digitatum, the predominant fungal pathogen causing green mold in orange fruits.

Recently, 3-D porous architecture of the composites play a key role in cell proliferation, bone regeneration, and anticancer activities. The osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties of β-TCP allow for the complete repair of numerous bone defects. Herein, β-TCP was synthesized by wet chemical precipitation route, and their 3-D porous composites with HBO and Cu nanoparticles were prepared by the solid-state reaction method with improved mechanical and biological performances.

Effects of the Interactions Between Food Additive Titanium Dioxide and Matrices on Genotoxicity.

Int J Mol Sci

January 2025

Department of Food Science & Technology, Seoul Women's University, Seoul 01797, Republic of Korea.

Titanium dioxide (TiO), a white color food additive, is widely used in bakery products, candies, chewing gums, soups, and creamers. Concerns about its potential genotoxicity have recently emerged, particularly following the European Union's ban on its usage as a food additive due to its genotoxicity potential. Conflicting in vitro and in vivo results regarding its genotoxicity highlight the need for further in-depth investigation.
