The electronic nose is a non-invasive technology suitable for the analysis of edible oils. One of the practical applications in the olive oil industry is the classification of virgin oils based on their sensory characteristics. Notwithstanding that this technology, at this stage, cannot realistically replace the currently used methods, it is fruitful for a preliminary analysis of the oil quality. This work makes use of this technology to develop a methodology for the detection of the threshold by which an extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) drops into the virgin olive oil (VOO) category. With this aim, two features were studied: the level of fruitiness level and the type of defect. The results showed a greater influence of the level of fruitiness than the type of defect in the determination of the detection threshold. Furthermore, three of the sensors (S2, S7 and S9) of the commercial e-nose PEN3 were identified as the most discriminating in the classification between EVOO and VOO oils.

Cardiovascular risk factors begin in childhood and track into adulthood, increasing the possibility of impaired cardiometabolic health. Adopting healthy dietary patterns can help curb childhood obesity, a worrisome epidemic problem at present. In the era of personalized nutrition, dietary recommendations should be adapted to different stages of life, including children (older than 3 years) and adolescents.

Introduction It has been known that progesterone has central effects, as measured by minimum alveolar concentration in various experimental settings. Previously, we showed that progesterone reduces the sevoflurane requirement for the loss of righting reflex (LORR) using male mice. However, the combination of progesterone and isoflurane has not been studied.

The objective of this investigation is to overcome the difficulties in fabricating cost-effective, eco-friendly porous geopolymers (PGs) by integrating Coal fly ash (CFA) and spodumene flotation tailings (SFT). This synthesis utilizes a unique blend of CFA and SFT in a 6:4 mass ratio, with specific attention to optimizing the pore architecture to improve the PGs' efficacy. Key parameters included a modulus of 1.

The so-called Mediterranean diet, with olive oil as a key component, is effective in reducing cardiometabolic disease risk. Olive oil consumption improves blood pressure, insulin levels and resistance, supporting heart health and glycemic control. Its phenolic compounds, including oleuropein (OLE), hydroxytyrosol (HT), and tyrosol (TYR) are hypothesized to likely contribute to these benefits.

The analysis of mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH) in vegetable oils is currently associated with high uncertainty due to various factors ranging from sample preparation to data interpretation. One significant factor is the coelution of biogenic compounds of terpenic origin with the MOAH fraction during chromatographic analysis. The common purification method is epoxidation, a chemical reaction that changes the polarity of the interferences, allowing their separation from MOAH.
