ZnO‐Functionalized Silicon Carbide Ceramic Membranes for Removing Impurities From Biodiesel

International Journal of Ceramic Engineering &Science, Volume 8, Issue 3, May 2026.
Silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic membranes functionalized with zinc oxide (ZnO) were assessed for biodiesel purification through crossflow filtration. The ZnO–SiC membranes effectively retained metallic impurities, especially calcium, sodium, and phosphorus, achieving levels that meet biodiesel quality standards.

Preventive Effect of Gallic Acid‐Loaded Carrageenan Nanoparticles Against Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury in Rat: Modulation of Oxidative Pathway

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Oral pretreatment with GA‐CG NPs provided remarkable neuroprotection in a rat model of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion. GA‐CG NPs improved cognition and attenuated depressive‐like behaviors, infarct volume, MDA content, as well as increased dopamine and antioxidant status (SOD, CAT, GPx, GSH) compared with free gallic acid.
