Due to allergenic concerns, only pea, potato, and wheat proteins have been approved as alternatives for replacing animal-based fining agents in wines. In pursuit of other substitutes, this work aimed to determine the fining ability of amaranth (Amaranthus caudatus L.) proteins (AP) in red wine, compared to quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) (QP) and a commercial pea protein. Phenolic and volatile composition, as well as color characteristics, were analyzed. AP was as effective as QP at decreasing condensed tannins, with AP at 50 g/hL being the most effective treatment (25.6% reduction). QP and AP produced a minor or no statistical change in the total anthocyanins and wine color intensity. They reduced the total ester concentration, but the total alcohols remained unchanged. The outcomes of AP and QP were similar, and sometimes better than the pea proteins, thus suggesting that they could be promising options for the development of novel fining agents.

Introduction: The cardiotoxicity and subsequent Heart Failure (HF) induced by Doxorubicin (DOX) limit the clinical application of DOX. Valsartan (Val) is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that could attenuate the HF induced by DOX. However, the underlying mechanism of Val in this process is not fully understood.

Proteins remaining in commercial wines are responsible for the protein haze in white wine unless they are effectively removed before bottling. To avoid this undesirable phenomenon, techniques of precipitation and filtration are applied in the white wine making process to eliminate a large part of them (fining processes) (Ribéreau-Gayon et al., Handbook of enology, vol 2, 3rd edn.

Article Synopsis
- The growth of the graphite market is driven by the demand for lithium-ion batteries, leading to substantial waste in the form of graphite fines.
- Researchers have developed a method to transform these waste fines into graphene oxide-based nanohybrids, which are effective and non-toxic antibacterial agents.
- The new nanohybrids, specifically GO-GPEI and GO-SPEI, show superior antibacterial properties against E. coli and low toxicity to mammalian cells, making them promising candidates for use in disinfection applications.

Introduction: The Trilife study describes the real-life use, in France, of the beclomethasone/formoterol/glycopyrronium triple fixed-dose combination in solution for inhalation, which is indicated as continuous treatment for moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Methods: This prospective, non-interventional, multicentric study, involving hospital and office-based pulmonologists, evaluates the proportion of patients for whom the triple fixed combination was prescribed in compliance with the indication and dosage specified in the summary of product characteristics (SPC). Patients were followed for six months.

Proteins in wines contribute to "protein haze," which, while not affecting health or taste, can detract from the visual appeal of wines to consumers. To mitigate this issue, winemakers commonly use fining agents such as bentonite, despite the high costs involved. To overcome these challenges, numerous studies employ various analytical methods to better understand the behaviour of proteins.
