The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of modified carbonic maceration technique (MCM) on the chemical and sensory characteristics of 'Cabernet Sauvignon' wines at an industrial production scale. Wines made from MCM and cold maceration technique (COM, control) were analyzed chemically and sensorially. Wines made by MCM demonstrated higher L* and a* values but lower b* values, and higher anthocyanin concentrations, which indicated that MCM wines had a greater color intensity, more reddish and bluish hues compared to COM wines. MCM wines contained more flavonols but lower flavan-3-ols. MCM treatment reduced the concentration of C alcohols and some higher alcohols, and increased the concentration of esters, especially acetates. Moreover, sensory evaluation showed the MCM treatment increased the overall aroma intensity, due to the increase of black fruit and fresh fruit notes and the decrease of green note. In addition, MCM wines had lower astringency and persistence.

Sustainable agro-waste revaluation is critical to enhance the profitability and environmental footprint of the olive oil industry. Herein, the valorization of olive leaf pruning waste from five cultivars ('Caiazzana', 'Carolea', 'Itrana', 'Leccino', and 'Frantoio') employed green extraction methods to recover compounds with potential health benefits. Sequential ultrasound-assisted maceration (UAM) in -hexane and ethanol was compared with a compressed fluid extraction strategy consisting of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) for their efficiency in recovering distinct classes of bioactives.

A rise in antimicrobial resistance coupled with consumer preferences towards natural preservatives has resulted in increased research towards investigating antimicrobial compounds from natural sources such as macroalgae (seaweeds), which contain antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer compounds. This study investigates the antimicrobial activity of compounds produced by the Irish seaweed against and , bacterial species which are relevant for food safety. Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), ultrasound-microwave-assisted extraction (UMAE), and conventional extraction technologies (maceration) were applied to generate extracts from , followed by their preliminary chemical composition (total phenolic content, total protein content, total soluble sugars) and antimicrobial activity (with minimum inhibitory concentration determined by broth microdilution methods), examining also the molecular weight distribution (via high performance size exclusion chromatography) and oligosaccharide fraction composition (via high-performance liquid chromatography) of the polysaccharides, as they were the predominant compounds in these extracts, aiming to elucidate structure-function relationships.

Background: Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD), a genetic blistering disease, is caused by a mutation in a calcium transporter protein in the Golgi apparatus encoded by the gene. Clinically, HHD is characterized by flaccid vesicles, blisters, erosions, fissures, and maceration mainly in intertriginous regions. Some patients remain refractory to conventional treatments.
