Optimization of Saponification Process for Quantification of Individual and Total Tocopherols and Phytosterols in Canola Oil Refining By‐Products

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, saponification variables were optimized using a face‐centred central composite design‐response surface methodology. The variables included reaction temperature (50°C–120°C), reaction time (30–180 min), KOH concentration (0.5–3 M) and pyrogallol concentration (0–1% w/v).

Boosting Rice Yield and Nitrogen Use Efficiency: Differential Responses of Local and Improved Rice Varieties to Combined Chemical and Biological Nitrogen Fertilization

International Journal of Agronomy
Rice is a globally essential staple, with nitrogen (N) as the key limiting nutrient. While N fertilization boosts yield, overuse reduces nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and harms the environment.

Synergistic Enhancement of Antioxidant Activity in Arbutus unedo Leaf Extract by Biological Fluids: Implications for Functional and Nutraceutical Applications

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examined the effect of biological fluids (saliva, blood plasma, and urine) on the antioxidant capacity of an aqueous extract derived from Arbutus unedo leaves. The extract displayed a concentration‐dependent reducing activity in the ferric reducing power assay (IC50 = 292 ± 7.54 µg/mL) and phosphomolybdenum assays (IC50 = 461.67 ± 4.

Pharmacokinetic Assessment of Atazanavir and Favipiravir Following Echinacea Supplementation: A Controlled Herb–Drug Interaction Investigation

Biopharmaceutics &Drug Disposition, EarlyView.
Pharmacokinetic interactions between Echinacea and two antiviral drugs, favipiravir and atazanavir, were assessed in rats. The findings suggest that Echinacea does not significantly affect the pharmacokinetics of favipiravir and atazanavir. These results provide preliminary evidence that concurrent use of Echinacea with these antiviral drugs may be ...
