Pomegranate exhibits important postharvest quality losses that limit its storage potential, caused mainly by weight loss, chilling injury and fungal diseases. In this work, we evaluated the effect of novel hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) edible coatings (ECs) formulated with three different lipids (beeswax (BW), carnauba wax, glycerol monostearate), as hydrophobic components, two GRAS salt...

background: nanoparticles have become one of the leading technologies over the past two years. the extensive use of nanoparticles has raised great concern about their occupational fate and biological effects. with an increase in the production and use of nanomaterial, it is more likely to get exposed to them occupationally and environmentally. objective: to assess the toxicity of silver nanopar...
