AI Article Synopsis

  • Levels of mineral oil hydrocarbons were analyzed in various green and roasted coffee beans and ground coffee.
  • The study evaluated how much of these hydrocarbons transferred to brewed coffee across three preparation methods.
  • It was found that less than 5% of the mineral oil hydrocarbons made it into the brewed coffee, contributing to less than 0.8% of an individual's daily mineral oil intake.

Article Abstract

Levels of mineral oil hydrocarbons were measured in a large range of green and roasted coffee beans or ground powder. To better understand the consumer exposure to mineral oil hydrocarbons, the transfer to the brewed coffee was assessed under three different preparations. As a result, less than 5% of mineral oil hydrocarbons were transferred to the cup. With this low transfer rate, the coffee contribution to the mineral oils daily intake can be assessed to be very low, below 0.8% of the total exposure.

Article Synopsis
  • Emerging contaminants in edible oils, particularly peanut oil, are analyzed using FT-NIR spectroscopy combined with chemometrics.
  • The study found that the PLS-DA classifier successfully distinguished between normal and contaminated samples with an impressive 100% classification accuracy, identifying specific contaminants like diesel and lubricating oil with similar precision.
  • Quantitative analysis showed that SVR provided high prediction accuracy for diesel, white mineral oil, and lubricating oil, while PLSR also performed well for kerosene and engine oil, highlighting NIR spectroscopy as a reliable method for ensuring edible oil safety.

Illite Dissolution under Sodium Hydroxide Solution: Insights from Reactive Molecular Dynamics.

ACS Omega

December 2024

Key Laboratory for Enhanced Oil & Gas Recovery of the Ministry of Education, Northeast Petroleum University, Daqing 163318, Heilongjiang, China.

In alkali/surfactant/polymer (ASP) flooding systems, alkalis react with clay minerals such as Illite, montmorillonite, and kaolinite, leading to reservoir damage and impacting oil recovery rates. Therefore, studying the dissolution effects of strong alkalis on clay minerals is crucial for improving oil recovery. This study uses Illite as a representative clay mineral and employs the ReaxFF reactive force field and molecular dynamics simulations to model its dissolution in NaOH solution.

Lipases are one of the ubiquitous enzymes that belong to the hydrolases family and have a wide variety of applications. Cold-active lipases are of major attraction as they can act in lower temperatures and low water conditions because of their inherent greater flexibility. One of the novel applications of lipase is the enrichment of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in plant and fish oils.

: The beneficial effects of ω-3 fatty acids on the cardiovascular system have been observed in many epidemiological studies; however, their effects on the skeleton and in particular on postmenopausal bone loss appear to vary. The present study's purpose was to investigate the effects of oral fish oil (rich in ω-3 fatty acids) consumption on bone, plasma, and inflammation parameters in the ovariectomized (Ovx) rat model of osteopenia. : Four Groups of ten rats each were separated into Non-Ovx receiving fish oil (2.
