13. Determination of Total Antioxidant Capacity Using Thiamine as a Natural Fluorescent Probe
This work proposes a spectrofluorometric method for the determination of total antioxidant capacity (CAO) in beverage samples, based on inhibition of thiochrome formation (λex = 370 nm, λem = 440 nm); a product of thiamine (vitamin B1) oxidation from K3Fe(CN)6. In the development of the method, gallic acid (GA) was used as a reference, and inhibition of th

14. Application of Nickel Ferrite Nanoparticles in Adsorption of Amoxicillin Antibiotic
According to the World Health Organization, amoxicillin (AMX) is the most widely consumed antibiotic in the world. Consequently, there is great interest in the development of new technologies that allow the removal of this type of contaminant, as exposure to antibiotic residues can cause a variety of adverse effects, such as toxicity and antimicrobial resist

15. Identification of Potential Inhibitors of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Related Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Main Protease from Non-Natural and Natural Sources: A Molecular Docking Study
So far, there is neither a vaccine nor a specific antiviral drug to prevent or treat COVID-19 (coronavirus disease) infection. Recent studies have been done to investigate the capacity of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease inhibitors be used in the treatment of COVID-19 patients. Some of those drugs have shown to be promising. Natural chemi

16. Cocoa Agro-Industrial Residue (Theobroma cacao) as Inducer of the Production of Fungal Laccase and Kojic Acid for Application in the Biodegradation of 17-α-Ethinylestradiol
Due to the ability to catalyze the oxidation of several substrates, the enzyme laccase has been used in several applications, among them the bioremediation of emerging pollutants. This work evaluate the capacity of the cocoa agro-industrial residue to induce the production of Pycnoporus sanguineus laccase and to apply the enzymatic extract in the biodegradat

17. SYNTHESIS OF MATERIALS PRODUCED FROM SPENT BATTERIES WITH ENVIRONMENTAL APPLICATION
In this work, alkaline and nickel-metal hydride spent batteries were used as precursors of metals for the synthesis of polymetallic materials. These materials were synthesized via chemical reduction. Materials produced from nickel-metal hydride spent batteries (PM-NiMH) have a nanometric size, whereas the alkaline spent batteries (PM-Alk) have a micrometric

18. GROWTH AND PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSES OF YERBA MATE SEEDLINGS AND MINI-CUTTINGS UNDER DROUGHT STRESS
ABSTRACT Yerba mate is a tree species whose natural distribution occurs in the countries of Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil, where most of the plantations are concentrated. For the establishment of plantations seedlings are commonly used. But alternatively, there are ex vitro vegetative propagation techniques like mini-cuttings technology, which has the pote

19. ASPECTOS ESTRUTURAIS DE ESFERAS DE QUITOSANA/PVA RETICULADAS COM GLUTARALDEÍDO SUBMETIDAS A DIFERENTES TRATAMENTOS TÉRMICOS
Chitosan is a biopolymer derived from chitin and the most abundant polysaccharide in nature after cellulose. This biopolymer has been applied in different areas due its biodegradability and biocompatibility properties. Modifications of chitosan structure by cross-linking chemical agents can alter its physical, chemical, and morphological characteristics. The

20. Open Science and the Role of Cardiology Journals in the COVID-19 Pandemic
In the current search for renewable energy sources, residual biomass has gained ground in the concept of biorefinery. Furanic compounds such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), furfural (FF) and derivatives such as levulinic acid (LA), obtained from biomass, have emerged as important industrial chemical platforms. In this sense, this work aimed to use pequi ba

22. Chemically-Activated Biochar from Ricinus communis L. Cake and Their Potential Applications for the Voltammetric Assessment of Some Relevant Environmental Pollutants
Biochar is a rich-carbon material highly functionalized, which allows the use as electrodes modifier for preconcentration and voltammetric determination of several species. This work describes a castor cake biochar production and chemical activation with different reaction conditions using HNO3 and/or H2O2. Biochar samples were characterized using scanning e

23. In silico Risk Assessment Studies of New Psychoactive Substances Derived from Amphetamines and Cathinones
The amount and variety of new psychoactive substances (NPS) are expanding, and there are difficulties in assessing their risks. In this regard, in silico methods are potentially useful to predict NPS properties faster and at a lower cost. In this work a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model was used to verify the risk of drugs derived fro

24. Preharvest nitrogen application affects quality and antioxidant status of two tomato cultivars
ABSTRACT Intensive horticultural crop production usually involves challenges from excessive application of fertilizer, mainly nitrogen (N). The effect of N fertilizer on the fruit quality and antioxidant status of two cherry tomato cultivars (Caballero and Victoria) under greenhouse conditions was performed. Nitrogen treatments were applied ranging from cond
