Distillation Plays an Important Role Also in A Dew Desert

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 1, January 2026.
Whereas dewfall may be the main non‐rainfall water source under dry condition, distillation may be a major vapour source under wet conditions following rain events. ABSTRACT Non‐rainfall water (NRW), principally dew, was regarded as the main factor responsible for the relatively high productivity of the Negev Desert.

In Silico Investigation of Dual‐Target Quorum Sensing Inhibitors to Eradicate Biofilm Formation in Candida albicans

Cellular Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Candida albicans (C. albicans) is an opportunistic yeast that forms biofilms, which confer increased resistance to antifungal agents, making infections very difficult to treat. One of the mechanisms regulating this virulence is quorum sensing (QS), which can be defined as a cellular communication mechanism based on the production of autoinducer, namely,

A Novel Electrohydrodynamic‐Hot Air Hybrid Drying Method for Aloe vera: Modeling, Optimization, and Quality Preservation

Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Drying is a common preservation method for medicinal plants, but high temperatures can degrade their nutritional and sensory qualities. This study developed a novel drying system combining electrohydrodynamic (EH) and hot air methods to improve the quality and efficiency of Aloe vera gel drying.

DPPH‐based Antioxidant Screening and Cellulase‐assisted Hydrodistillation of Matourea azurea: Improved Essential Oil Yield and Density Functional Theory Insights Into a Rare Terpene

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 22, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Essential oils are rich in bioactive molecules like terpenes and phenolic compounds, but have low yields, making process efficiency crucial. Enzyme‐assisted hydrodistillation is a sustainable alternative, enhancing oil release by degrading the cell wall.
