Oral mucositis (OM), a common side effect of oncological treatment, is an oral mucosal disorder characterized by painful ulcerations and increased risk of infection. The use of natural antioxidants to suppress the redox imbalance responsible for the OM condition has emerged as an interesting approach to prevent/treat OM. This study aims to explore the chestnut () shells as potential active ingredient against OM. Therefore, chestnut shells were extracted at different temperatures (110-180 °C) by Subcritical Water Extraction (SWE), aiming to recover antioxidants. The extracts were also evaluated against microorganisms present in the oral cavity as well as on human oral cell lines (TR146 and HSC3). The highest phenolic content was obtained with the extraction temperature of 110 °C, exhibiting the best antioxidant/antiradical activities and scavenging efficiencies against HOCl (IC = 4.47 μg/mL) and ROO (0.73 μmol TE/mg DW). High concentrations of phenolic acids (e.g., gallic and protocatechuic acids) and flavanoids (catechin, epicatechin and rutin) characterized the phenolic profile. The antimicrobial activity against several oral microorganisms present in the oral cavity during OM, such as , , and , was demonstrated. Finally, the effects on HSC3 and TR146 cell lines revealed that the extract prepared at 110 °C had the lowest IC (1325.03 and 468.15 µg/mL, respectively). This study highlights the potential effects of chestnut shells on OM.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the metabolomic profile of larvae reared on the following innovative growth substrates: wheat bran (control, CTRL); wheat bran supplemented with 12.5% / chestnut shell (TRT1); and wheat bran supplemented with 25% / chestnut shell (TRT2) for 14 days of trial. At the end of this experiment, larvae were transformed into insect meals for nutritional characterization.

Article Synopsis
- * The developed films show improved mechanical properties, like increased elongation and lower water vapor transmittance, while also enhancing antibacterial and antioxidant capabilities.
- * The multifunctional film effectively inhibits browning in fresh-cut apples, suggesting it could serve as a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic cling film, while promoting the use of orange processing by-products.

Article Synopsis
- - The research introduces a novel three-dimensional (3D) p-n junction called h-TaN@CoN, which has a unique hollow sphere structure that enhances its photoelectrochemical (PEC) efficiency compared to traditional p-n junctions.
- - It utilizes fine fibers that cause Rayleigh scattering, improving light absorption and reducing electron-hole pair recombination by leveraging quantum confinement effects.
- - The developed photoanode shows impressive performance, achieving a photocurrent of 8.71 mA/cm² at 1.23 V and maintaining operation for 168 hours, which is an improvement over existing TaN-based photoanodes.
Antimicrobial effect of combined preservatives using chestnut inner shell, cinnamon, and ε-poly-lysine against food-poisoning bacteria .

Chestnut inner shell, cinnamon, and ε-poly-lysine (ε-PL) have been used for natural preservative of food grade, and combined preservatives (CP) has been formulated previously. This study examined whether growth could be controlled using CP in tryptic soy broth (TSB). CP inhibited growth by about 5 log CFU/mL in TSB.
