The toxicity effects of imidacloprid and chlorpyrifos on oxidative stress and blood biochemistry in Cyprinus carpio.

This study aimed to assess the toxicity effects of chlorpyrifos and imidacloprid, alone and in combination, on oxidative biomarkers and blood biochemistry of Cyprinus carpio. A total of 324 common carp (Cyprinus carpio) were distributed among 27 tanks and exposed to concentrations of 0.0, 100, and 200 μg L of chlorpyrifos and 0.

Evaluating shelf life and anti-browning of shrimp by chitosan-coated nanoliposome loaded with licorice root extract.

Chitosan coating containing nanoliposomes loaded with licorice root extract was prepared to investigate shrimp's shelf life and anti-browning function during 20 days of ice storage. 1% licorice root hydroethanolic extract (LHE) was encapsulated in nanoliposomes or coated with chitosan, and then the shrimp were immersed in coating solutions. LHE treatment had the lowest browning indices (5 and 1.

Toxicity of cigarette butts (CBs) leachate on Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus): Blood biochemical parameters, oxidative stress biomarkers, and metabolic profile.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the toxic effects of different concentrations of cigarette butt leachate (CBL) (0.0, 0.5, 1, 1.

Fungal behavior and recent developments in biopulping technology.

Biological pretreatment of wood chips by fungi is a well-known approach prior to mechanical- or chemical pulp production. For this biological approach, a limited number of white-rot fungi with an ability to colonize and selectively degrade lignin are used to pretreat wood chips allowing the remaining cellulose to be processed for further applications. Biopulping is an environmentally friendly technology that can reduce the energy consumption of traditional pulping processes.

Effects of cadmium chloride and biofertilizer (Bacilar) on biochemical parameters of freshwater fish, Alburnus mossulensis.

Fish in wild are often faced with various types of xenobiotics, that may display synergistic or antagonistic effects. In this study, we aim to examine how exposure to agrochemical compound (Bacilar) and cadmium (CdCl) alone and in combination affect biochemical parameters (lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, alanine aminotransferase; creatine phosphokinase (CKP), cholinesterase) and oxidative stress (total antioxidant capacity, catalase, malondialdehyde and protein carbonyl concentrations) of freshwater fish Alburnus mossulensis. Fish were exposed to two concentrations of Bacilar (0.

Effect of chitosan-coated Ulva intestinalis sulfated polysaccharide nanoliposome on melanosis and quality of Pacific white shrimp during ice storage.

This study investigates chitosan coating containing nanoliposome of Ulva intestinalis sulfated polysaccharide, its effect on melanosis, as well as the quality of Pacific white shrimp during 20 days of storage in ice. The sulfated polysaccharide was extracted from Ulva intestinalis (USP), and its impact on the shrimp's polyphenol oxidase (PPO) enzyme inhibition in different concentrations was measured. The optimum concentration of USP with the highest inhibition percentage was selected and used.

Sourdoughs fermented by autochthonous strains improve the quality of gluten-free bread.

Sourdoughs based on fermentation by lactobacilli have the potential to produce gluten-free maize-based bread with acceptable technological and rheological characteristics, nutritional quality, and more prolonged shelf life. Of the 17 treatments compared (with or without sourdough, and involving single and multiple LAB species), treatments 12C (,  + L. ), and 8C ( + L.

Selection of Synbiotics and Investigation of Growth Indices, Reproduction Performance, Survival, and Ovarian Gene Expression in Zebrafish .

In this study, we tested the compatibility of two extracts from the plant Jerusalem artichokes and button mushrooms with two different probiotics (; La and subsp. ; Lb) to develop a synbiotic formulation to improve the growth, survival, and reproductive performances of farmed fishes. Initially, we employed approach to monitor the growth of the probiotic lactobacilli in the presence of the different doses of the plant-based prebiotics, with the aim of selecting interesting combination(s) for further verification under conditions using zebrafish as a model.

-fermented sourdoughs improve the quality of gluten-free bread made from pearl millet flour.

The study investigated the effect of sourdough made from combinations of four spp. on the physicochemical properties, consumer acceptability, and shelf life of bread made from pearl millet flour. Fermentation based on both single and multiple species reduced the pH of the dough and increased its titratable acidity and HO content.

Characterization of Gamma-Irradiated L. (Rosemary).

Objectives: L., a member of the family Lamiaceae, is regarded as the spice with the highest antioxidant activity.

Materials And Methods: In this study, the transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) physicochemical characteristics of the nanostructure of gamma-irradiated rosemary were investigated.

Assessment of impacts of land use changes on surface water using L-THIA model (case study: Zayandehrud river basin).

Land use changes in a basin are the most important factors affecting its hydrology and water quality. A hydrological model is an effective tool in assessing the effects of land use change on surface water. In this study, the effects of land use changes in the Zayandehrud basin are estimated using long-term hydrologic impact assessment model.
