Transcranial Electric Stimulation Entrains Cortical Neuronal Populations in Rats
Low intensity electric fields have been suggested to affect the ongoing neuronal activity in vitro and in human studies. However, the physiological mechanism of how weak electrical fields affect and interact with intact brain activity is not well understood. We performed in vivo extracellular and intracellular recordings from the neocortex and hippocampus of anesthetized rats and extracellular recordings in behaving rats. Electric fields were generated by sinusoid patterns at slow frequency (0.8, 1.25 or 1.7 Hz) via electrodes placed on the surface of the skull or the dura. Transcranial electric stimulation (TES) reliably entrained neurons in widespread cortical areas, including the hippocampus. The percentage of TES phase-locked neurons increased with stimulus intensity and depended on the behavioral state of the animal. TES-induced voltage gradient, as low as 1 mV/mm at the recording sites, was sufficient to phase-bias neuronal spiking. Intracellular recordings showed that both spiking and subthreshold activity were under the combined influence of TES forced fields and network activity. We suggest that TES in chronic preparations may be used for experimental and therapeutic control of brain activity
Influence of temperature and ultrasound on drying kinetics and antioxidant properties of red pepper
This is an Author's Accepted Manuscript of J. A. Cárcel, D. Castillo, S. Simal & A. Mulet (2019) Influence of temperature

37:4, 486-493, DOI: 10.1080/07373937.2018.1473417 [copyright Taylor & Francis], available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/07373937.2018.1473417[EN] Red pepper samples (1 m/s) were dried at different temperatures (30, 50, 70 degrees C) without and with (20.5 kW/m(3); 21.7 kHz) ultrasound application. The antioxidant capacity (AC), the total phenolic content (TPC), and the ascorbic acid (AA) content of fresh and dried red pepper samples were used as indicators of the quality of the dried products. Ultrasound application significantly improved the kinetics in every case, influencing not only the effective diffusivity but also the mass transport coefficient thus implying a reduction in energy needs. Drying significantly reduced AC, TPC, and AA, this reduction being significantly smaller at 70 degrees C due to the shorter drying time. Compared with conventional drying, ultrasound application reduced the loss of antioxidant properties at 50 degrees C but produced greater degradation at 70 degrees C, which points toward an optimal drying temperature when using ultrasound.The authors acknowledge the financial support from Generalitat Valenciana [PROMETEOII/2014/005] and INIA [RTA2015-00060-C04-02 and RTA2015-00060-C04-03].Carcel, JA.; Castillo, D.; Simal, S.; Mulet Pons, A.

Ultrasound assisted low-temperature drying of kiwifruit: Effects on drying kinetics, bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity
"This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Vallespir, Francisca, Óscar Rodríguez, Juan A Cárcel, Carmen Rosselló, and Susana Simal. 2019. Ultrasound Assisted Low-temperature Drying of Kiwifruit: Effects on Drying Kinetics, Bioactive Compounds and Antioxidant Activity. Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture 99 (6). Wiley: 2901 9. doi:10.1002/jsfa.9503, which has been published in final form at https://doi.org/10.1002/jsfa.9503. This article may be used for non-commercial purposes in accordance with Wiley Terms and Conditions for Self-Archiving."[EN] Background: Low-temperature drying is considered to be a promising technique for food processing. It preserves thermolabile compounds and might be intensified by acoustic assistance. The effect of acoustic assistance (20.5 kW m(-3)) during low-temperature drying of kiwifruit (at 5, 10 and 15 degrees C, and 1 m s(-1)) on drying kinetics, bioactive compounds (such as ascorbic acid, vitamin E, and total polyphenols), and antioxidant activity was studied.
Results: Drying time was shortened by 55-65% when using power ultrasound. A diffusion model was used to evaluate the drying kinetics. The effective diffusion coefficient increased by 154 +/- 30% and the external mass transfer coefficient increased by 158 +/- 66% when ultrasound was applied during drying, compared with drying without ultrasound application. With regard to bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity, although samples dried at 15 degrees C presented significantly higher (P < 0.05) losses (39-54% and 57-69%, respectively) than samples dried at 5 degrees C (14-43% and 23-50%, respectively) when ultrasound was not applied, the application of ultrasound during drying at 15 degrees C significantly reduced (P < 0.05) those losses in all quality parameters (15-47% and 47-58%, respectively).
Conclusion: Overall, low-temperature drying of kiwifruit was enhanced by acoustic assistance preserving bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity, especially at 15 degrees C.

Effects of convective drying and freeze-drying on the release of bioactive compounds from beetroot during in vitro gastric digestion
[EN] Drying may alter the microstructure of vegetables and influence the release of bioactive compounds during digestion. The effects of convective drying (at 60 degrees C and 2 m s(-1); CD) and freeze-drying (at -50 degrees C and 30 Pa; FD) on the microstructure (evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and image analyses with ImageJ software) of beetroot and the kinetics of biocompound release (total polyphenol content (TPC) and antioxidant activity (AA)) during 180 min of in vitro gastric digestion have been studied. Raw beetroot was used as the control. Drying promoted the collapse of cell walls causing volume shrinkage that resulted in a greater cell number per area unit; meanwhile in vitro digestion caused cell structure disruption, which resulted in a lower cell number per area unit. Drying promoted decreases of TPC (42% in CD and 29% in FD) and AA (66% in CD and 63% in FD) of beetroot. However, release of TPC and AA from dried samples during digestion was 82% (CD) and 76 (FD) % higher than from the raw sample. The Weibull model allowed the satisfactory modelling of the TPC and AA release kinetics (mean relative error of simulation lower than 8.5%).The authors would like to acknowledge the financial support of the National Institute of Research and Agro-Food Technology (INIA), co-financed with the ERDF funds (RTA2015-00060-C04-03), and the Balearic Government for the research fellowship (FPI/1814/2015).Dalmau, ME.; Eim, V.; Rosselló, C.; Carcel, JA.; Simal, S.

A selective turn-on fluorescent chemosensor 1,1-diaminoazine for azinphos-methyl
Financiaciado para publicación en acceso aberto: Universidade de Vigo/CISUGDetection of organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) is an important challenge in environmental chemistry, because their exposure to humans can cause severe health problems. In the current study, organic nanoparticles of (E)-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,1-diamino-2,3-diazabutadiene were developed using eco-friendly approach which was found to be in the range of 15–20 nm. These synthesized species exhibited both U.V. Visible and “turn-on” fluorescence responses in aqueous media for the selective detection of the extremely hazardous pesticide azinphos-methyl. These organic nanoparticles also exhibit a good linear relationship in the range of 1–100 μM and the limit of detection (LOD) is 7.4 µM. The selective fluorescence response was also observed in RO water, tap water and orange juice. The FT-IR and DFT studies helped in identifying the specific H-bonding interactions responsible for the selective detection of Azinphos-methylDepartment of Science and Technology, New-Delhi, India | Ref.

Bottle aging and storage of wines: a review
Wine is perhaps the most ancient and popular alcoholic beverage worldwide. Winemaking practices involve careful vineyard management alongside controlled alcoholic fermentation and potential aging of the wine in barrels. Afterwards, the wine is placed in bottles and stored or distributed in retail. Yet, it is considered that wine achieves its optimum properties after a certain storage time in the bottle. The main outcome of bottle storage is a decrease of astringency and bitterness, improvement of aroma and a lighter and more stable color. This is due to a series of complex chemical changes of its components revolving around the minimized and controlled passage of oxygen into the bottle. For this matter, antioxidants like sulfur oxide are added to avoid excessive oxidation and consequent degradation of the wine. In the same sense, bottles must be closed with appropriate stoppers and stored in adequate, stable conditions, as the wine may develop unappealing color, aromas and flavors otherwise. In this review, features of bottle aging, relevance of stoppers, involved chemical reactions and storage conditions affecting wine quality will be addressed.The research leading to these results was funded by FEDER under the program Interreg V-A Spain-Portugal (POPTEC) 2014-2020 ref. 0377_IBERPHENOL_6_E and ref. 0181_NANOEATERS_ 01_E; to Xunta de Galicia supporting with the Axudas Conecta Peme the IN852A 2018/58 NeuroFood Project and the program EXCELENCIA-ED431F 2020/12; to Ibero-American Program on Science and Technology (CYTED—AQUA-CIBUS, P317RT0003) and by the Bio Based Industries Joint Undertaking (JU) under grant agreement No 888003 UP4HEALTH Project (H2020-BBIJTI-2019), the JU receives support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program and the Bio Based Industries Consortium.

Stability assessment of extracts obtained from Arbutus unedo L. fruits in powder and solution systems using machine-learning methodologies
Arbutus unedo L. (strawberry tree) has showed considerable content in phenolic compounds, especially flavan-3-ols (catechin, gallocatechin, among others). The interest of flavan-3-ols has increased due their bioactive actions, namely antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, and by association of their consumption to diverse health benefits including the prevention of obesity, cardiovascular diseases or cancer. These compounds, mainly catechin, have been showed potential for use as natural preservative in foodstuffs; however, their degradation is increased by pH and temperature of processing and storage, which can limit their use by food industry. To model the degradation kinetics of these compounds under different conditions of storage, three kinds of machine learning models were developed: i) random forest, ii) support vector machine and iii) artificial neural network. The selected models can be used to track the kinetics of the different compounds and properties under study without the prior knowledge requirement of the reaction system.The authors are grateful to the Foundation for Science and Technology
