Vibrational spectroscopy represents a very useful technique that measures the interaction of infrared radiation with materials by absorption, emission, or reflection. It is a very powerful way to investigate and identify chemical compounds or functional groups that exist in solid, liquid, or gaseous forms. It can also be used to characterize and identify chemical compounds. This paper presents the vibrational analysis of some representative 2C-x and DOx hallucinogenic amphetamines.

Molecular descriptors convert the chemical and structural information into mathematical language. They allow the description of physical and chemical properties in numerical format. An important role of this transformation is to provide an easier identification of related substances, based on the similarities between their molecular descriptors. This paper analyses different molecular descriptors determined for the main 2C-x and DOx psychedelic phenethylamines.

In the search for sustainable and ecological alternatives in food packaging, the use of starch as one of the most abundant biopolymer resources to formulate edible films has been studied. Nonetheless, compatibility with other starch derivatives, such as dextrin and/or chemically modified starch, has not been explored yet. The objective of this research was to characterize opacity, water vapor barrier capability, and thermal properties of composite edible films, by a mixture design approach, formulated with three types of commercial chemical modified starch mixed with native corn starch and dextrin. Lower opacity in edible films was related to more soluble material, where the main effect of dextrin was the rise of soluble material and lower water vapor permeability. A more permeable film can be obtained with Nifrastarch and lower permeability with Gelamil. The type of chemically modified starch used in edible films for edible packaging can be decided according to the characteristics of the food in question, i.e., moisture, color, permeability, or edible film solubility for active packaging.

The objective of this paper was to evaluate seven different berries most consumed in Romania in order to determine the bioactive compounds: total phenolics content, total flavonoid content, total anthocyanins content, antioxidant activity by DPPH and total antioxidant capacity (water-soluble and lipid-soluble by photochemiluminescence assay, PCL). The analyzed fruits contain significant amounts of phenolic compounds between 18.91 and 383.06 mg gallic acid equivalents per 100 grams of fresh berries. Black currant extract had the highest content of total phenolic compounds, 383.06 mg GAE/100g, while the lowest level was obtained for the gooseberry, 18.91 mg GAE/100g. DPPH values varied between 22.15 and 892.35μmol Trolox Equivalent/100g fresh berries. Strong positive correlations between the antioxidant capacity of lipid-soluble compounds measured by PCL and DPPH was found (r= 0.9153). The results obtained demonstrated that different Romanian berries studied show a great antioxidant activity with possible benefits on human health.

The objective of this study was to investigate into the physical stability of whey protein (WP)-stabilized red palm oil (RPO) emulsions based on rheological properties such flow behaviour, viscoelastic properties, apparent viscosity (ηapp), and linear viscoelastic range limits (LVE). RPO emulsification was stabilized by three types WP with different protein content, notably WPI90, WPC80, and WPC76, and the influence of WP type and concentration (2.5-15%) was evaluated. Utilizing the type and concentration of WP used, RPO emulsions with good apparent thermodynamic stability could be formed. All of the emulsions showed shear-thinning flow behaviour with viscous properties (G" >> G′). However, as a result of the different WP types and concentrations utilized, the emulsions produced had varied kinetic stability and rheological properties. Droplet characteristics, such as D10, D50, and D90, ζ potential, and electrical conductivity were determined, and rheological data gained corresponded with these properties to explain emulsion stability. The LVE value reflected the stability of the produced emulsions as well as the ηapp difference. The emulsion stabilized with 15% of WPC76 had optimum physical stability in this study, with an LVE of 7.9%. This study demonstrate that rheological characterization can be employed to assess the stability of WP-stabilized RPO emulsions.

The consumer demand for healthy and natural products lead to the increased interest of consuming mountain food products. The objective of this work was to evaluate the physical-chemical and sensory characteristics of 8 dairy products and 11 meat products collected from different mountainous pastures from Romania. The protein content of dairy products varied between 37.39-47.90% d.m., while the fat content ranged between 43.63-49.57% d.m. For meat products, the protein content and fat content ranged between 11.69-70.07% d.m., and 17.58-95.92 % d.m., respectively. The fatty acid composition of mountain products was influenced by the pasture location, a better PUFA content being determined for products obtained from farms situated at a higher altitude. This research highlights that the quality of mountain products is strongly influenced by the pasture effects, the type of product analyzed and the technological process.

One of the illustrations selected for the presentation of the nutritional recommendations of the Mediterranean diet (DM) is the food pyramid (FP). The aim of this work was to design a food pyramid illustrating the dietary pattern of an adult Moroccan population and compare it to the recommendations of the Mediterranean diet pyramid (MDP) updated in 2020 by a group of experts. The study was carried out over the period of 2018 to 2022, on 507 adults from the Rabat-Salé-Kenitra region in Morocco. Socio-demographic data, usability, and toxic habits were collected using a questionnaire. Physical activity was assessed by the Marshal questionnaire. Food intake and food diversity have been determined by food history and food variety by food frequency questionnaires. The majority of the study population was over 34 years old (59%), resides in urban areas (70%), of which women (52%), sufficiently active (57%) and without any toxic habits (99.9%). A proportion of 31% still participate in meal preparation within the household, and 48.9% have at least two meals with the family daily. The population’s energy and protein intakes are higher (p<0.001) while their dietary fiber and water intakes are lower than the recommended intakes (p<0.001). The FP constructed according to the population’s food consumption comprises, from the bottom to the top, 1) water, 2) cereals and starchy foods, 3) sugars and sweet products, 4) fruits and vegetables, 5) dairy products, 6) olive oil, and 7) pulses, dried fruits, red meat, fish, chicken, eggs, and olives. The hierarchy and frequency of the consumption of certain foods and food groups differ from the recommendations of the updated MDP, reflecting a shift from sustainable diet.

Microalgae are described as a potential alternative source of bioactive compounds that are environmentally friendly. Dunaliella on its own is well known due to its potential to accumulate large amounts of carotenoids, especially β-carotene. Green and orange biomasses from a new Dunaliella salina strain DunaDZ1 isolated from an Algerian Salt Lake were evaluated for carotenoids composition and antioxidant activity. Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) was employed using different extracting solvents. Furthermore, UAE extracts were then analyzed for their chemical composition by TLC, HPLC-DAD and for the antioxidant activity. Lutein was the main carotenoid in the green biomass, with the highest amount for ethyl acetate extract (393.19 mg/g). However, for the orange biomass, the main carotenoid was trans, β-carotene (131.83 mg/g) in the acetonic extract. Moreover, several others carotenoids were detected, belonging to xanthophylls and carotenes. Additionally, ultrasonic-assisted extraction with ethyl acetate produced the extract with the highest antioxidant activity for both D. salina biomasses. These extracts could be used as a natural antioxidant and as an ingredient for functional foods formulation.
