This study presents an innovative approach for authenticating the geographical origin of instant coffee from Southern Bahia using vibrational spectral data coupled with Data-Driven Soft Independent Modeling of Class Analogy (DD-SIMCA). Combining data from a benchtop mid-infrared (MIR) spectrometer and a portable near-infrared (NIR) spectrometer, the methodology achieved 100 % efficiency with Multiplicative Scatter Correction (MSC) and Standard Normal Variate (SNV) pre-processing, alongside offset correction for MIR data. MIR spectroscopy enabled detailed chemical composition analysis, while the portable NIR spectrometer provided cost-effective in situ capabilities. These rapid, non-destructive techniques align with Green Chemistry principles, supporting environmentally sustainable practices. By ensuring authenticity, safeguarding product value, and enhancing consumer trust, this strategy addresses potential fraud related to geographical origin. With its exceptional performance and practical advantages, the proposed methodology offers a robust solution for quality control in the coffee industry and holds potential for broader applications in related fields.

Quantitatively assessing the origins of aerosol zinc (Zn) is crucial for understanding of the global atmospheric Zn cycle and for formulating targeted policies to mitigate anthropogenic Zn emissions. Zn isotope ratios (denoted as δ⁶⁶Zn) serve as powerful tools for constraining the origins of aerosol Zn. This review comprehensively compiles an δ⁶⁶Zn (relative to Lyon JMC Zn standard) dataset (n = 207) for multi-sized aerosols observed exclusively in the Northern Hemisphere, encompassing diverse atmospheric environments, including urban areas and remote deserts, glacier, and ocean.

Influenza A virus (FLUAV) affects a wide range of hosts, including humans and animals, posing a threat to public health. In swine, H3N2 subtype is associated with human-to-swine spillovers of seasonal viruses. In Latin America, the molecular and antigenic characteristics of swine FLUAV H3N2, as well as its phylogenetic origin, are poorly understood.

Organic agriculture is expanding worldwide, driven by expectations of improving food quality and soil health. However, while organic certification by regulatory bodies such as the United States Department of Agriculture and the European Union confirms compliance with organic standards that prohibit synthetic chemical inputs, there is limited oversight to verify that organic practices, such as the use of authentic organic fertilizer sources, are consistently applied at the field level. This study investigated the elemental content of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) and their stable isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) in seven different crops grown under organic or conventional practices to assess their applicability as a screening tool to verify the authenticity of organic labeled produce.
