The inadvertent ingestion of contaminated soil can be an important source of pesticide exposure, especially in young children. The actual level of a pesticide that is available for absorption into a biological system may be much lower than the overall contamination level due to the interaction of each chemical with the solid matrix. This bioaccessibility is dependent on characteristics of the c...

Fish oil are currently high in demand due to its wide range of therapeutic benefits. High content eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) derived from various sources marine life fish essential human mental developments metabolism. Swamp Eel Fish, scientifically known as Monopterus Albus is a freshwater that highly demands across South-East Asia can easily be found Malaysia. This ...

Quaternary salts of pyridoxal oxime have been synthesized by the quaternization of pyridoxal oxime with substituted phenacyl bromides using microwave heating. Microwave-assisted rapid synthesis was done both in solvent (acetone) and under solvent-free conditions. Good to excellent yields (58%-94%) were obtained in acetone in very short reaction times (3-5 min) as well as in the solvent-free pro...

We present an efficient procedure for the synthesis of thirty-six N₁,N₄-substituted thiosemicarbazones, including twenty-five ones that are reported for the first time, using a microwave-assisted methodology for the reaction of thiosemicarbazide intermediates with aldehydes in the presence of glacial acetic acid in ethanol and under solvent free conditions. Overall reaction times (20-40 min whe...

Abstract In the last years, an alternative and convenient way to composting and/or bio-gasifying food waste is represented by extraction of high value bioactive components from such materials. particular, essential oils contained in matrices as orange or lemon peels may represent for nutraceutical pharma industry. recent microwave assisted processes have been considered use solvent-free extract...
