This study applied Near Infrared (NIR) and Mid Infrared (MIR) Spectroscopy combined with chemometrics to detect and quantify adulteration in cupuaçu pulp. A total of 66 authentic samples, 198 adulterated with sucrose solution (15, 30, and 45 % w/w), and 25 commercial samples were analyzed. Classification models showed high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, with MIR achieving 100 % accuracy in validation. For quantification, MIR performed best, with an R-value of 0.96. Adulteration was detected in over 50 % of commercial samples, with levels ranging from 15.28 % to 34.45 %. The results confirm that NIR and MIR are effective tools for identifying and quantifying cupuaçu pulp adulteration, demonstrating their potential for quality control applications.

Traditionally unsustainable and nondegradable fossil-based based plastics have resulted in serious environment pollution problem. Renewable and biodegradable lignocellulose biomass is a promising raw martial for developing environmentally friendly plastic alternatives. However, lignocellulose biomass itself is non-thermoplastic crosslinking networks consisting of cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose, resulting in a huge challenge to thermoform its into plastic alternatives.

Invasive infections by encapsulated bacteria are the major cause of human morbidity and mortality. The liver resident macrophages, Kupffer cells, form the hepatic firewall to clear many encapsulated bacteria in the blood circulation but fail to control certain high-virulence capsule types. Here we report that the spleen is the backup immune organ to clear the liver-resistant serotypes of (pneumococcus), a leading human pathogen.
