Mangroves are typically found in tropical coastal areas, and these ecosystems face deterioration loss due to threats from climate human factors. In this study, sediment cores were collected human-planted mangroves sub-tropical Ximen Island, China, determined for sedimentary phosphorus (P) species. The objective was investigate the ability of planted a zone bordering their temperature limit pres...

The analysis of (bio)available copper in complex environmental settings, including biological test media, is a challenging task. In this study, we demonstrated the potential of a recombinant Pseudomonas fluorescens-based biosensor for bioavailability analysis of CuSO4 and CuO nanoparticles (nano-CuO) in seventeen different ecotoxicological and microbiologial test media. In parallel, free Cu in ...

The effects of ascorbic acid (AA), phytate and tannic acid (TA) on Fe bioavailability from Fe supplied as reconstituted ferritin were compared with FeSO4 using an in vitro digestion-Caco-2 cell model. Horse spleen apoferritin was chemically reconstituted into an animal-type ferritin (HSF) and a plant-type ferritin (P-HSF) according to the typical ratios of Fe:P found in these molecules. In the ...

New multicomponent solid forms of the nutraceutical pterostilbene have been discovered and characterized through experimental cocrystal screening. Among coformers tested, picolinic acid formed a with 10-fold enhancement oral bioavailability in rats, which converts new into very promising candidate for formulations improved performance.
