Food preservatives nowadays are widely used chemicals throughout the food industries due to their commercial importance in increasing the shelf life of foods. But daily consumption of these preserved food products may be fatal to human health. Among different aldehydic compounds, formaldehyde and benzaldehyde are mainly used for preservation. Therefore, we reported a study on simple, selective and sensitive non-enzymatic detection of formaldehyde and benzaldehyde using GA-AuNP@Tollens'. Plasmonic resonance of GA-AuNP@Tollens' was taken as the basis for sensing formaldehyde and benzaldehyde in the linear range of 10-150 nM and 0.15-0.75 µM respectively. Both optimization and detection were acquired at UV absorbance of 409 nm. Detection limit of formaldehyde and benzaldehyde obtained through the proposed method was 20.08 nM and 0.12 µM respectively. Smartphone based detection method showed good linearity with R-Square value of 0.95 for both analytes. Lastly, GA-AuNP@Tollens' was implemented for the quantification of analytes in real samples.

Herein, a novel amine-functionalized magnetic resorcinol-formaldehyde with a core-shell structure (FeO@RF/Pr-NH) is prepared through the chemical immobilization of (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane over FeO@RF composite. Characterization through FT-IR, EDX, PXRD, and TGA confirmed successful surface modification while preserving the crystalline structure of FeO. The VSM analysis demonstrated excellent superparamagnetic properties, and SEM and TEM images revealed spherical particles for the designed nanocatalyst.

Article Synopsis
- An air quality monitoring campaign in Luanda, Angola, in June 2023 examined gaseous pollutants at 25 locations, finding that traffic-heavy areas had higher levels of benzene, toluene, SO, and NO, but these were within WHO guidelines.
- * Ozone levels were notably higher than in other African regions, with heavy traffic areas showing a strong potential for ozone formation, primarily from compounds like m,p-xylene and toluene.
- * Despite moderate risk for non-cancer diseases across most sites, the Mulenvos landfill showed a high hazard quotient, and overall cancer risks exceeded acceptable levels, primarily driven by naphthalene exposure.*
Rational design of short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase for enantio-complementary synthesis of chiral 1,2-diols by successive hydroxymethylation and reduction of aldehydes.

Enantiopure 1,2-diols are widely used in the production of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and functional materials as essential building blocks or bioactive compounds. Nevertheless, developing a mild, efficient and environmentally friendly biocatalytic route for manufacturing enantiopure 1,2-diols from simple substrate remains a challenge. Here, we designed and realized a step-wise biocatalytic cascade to access chiral 1,2-diols starting from aromatic aldehyde and formaldehyde enabled by a newly mined benzaldehyde lyase from Sphingobium sp.

A library of regioisomeric monoterpene-based aminodiols was synthesised and applied as chiral catalysts in the addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde. The synthesis of the first type of aminodiols was achieved starting from (-)-8,9-dihydroperillaldehyde via reductive amination, followed by Boc protection and dihydroxylation with the OsO/NMO system. Separation of formed stereoisomers resulted in a library of aminodiol diastereoisomers.
