Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Properties of Piper spp. Volatile Oils That Inhibit Pathogenic Microorganisms

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.
The samples were fungicidal against Candida, with MICs ranging from 62.5 to 250 μg/mL, and fungistatic against Penicillium adametzii, Aspergillus flavus and A. niger, with MICs of 1000 μg/mL. The volatile oils of Piper aduncum and Piper marginatum reduced the viability of MDA‐MB231 cells.

Occurrence and Human Health Implications of Legacy Organochlorine Pesticides and Their Metabolites in Fruits and Vegetables of Bangladesh

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Multiple OCP isomers and/or metabolites along with their parent compounds were detected in commonly consumed fruits and vegetables of Bangladesh, possibly attributed to both recently and historically applied OCPs. However, all the detected values were below 0.01 mg/kg, indicating no potential human health risks through dietary intake. ABSTRACT Globally,
