Fermentación controlada de aceitunas verdes picholine marroquíes sometidas a choque térmico e inoculadas sin sal

The present work reports the controlled fermentation of heat-shocked, unsalted and inoculated green olives. The effects of heat-shock (60, 70 and 80 °C three times for 5 min), inoculation with the oleuropeinolytic strain of L. plantarum FSO175 (L.p-FSO175) and the addition of Cell-Free Supernatant of C. pelliculosa L18 (CFS of C.p-L18) on the fermentation process of unsalted green olives were examined. The results showed a drastic reduction in the initial indigenous Enterobacteria, and an improvement in the acidification of heat-shocked olives at 70 and 80 °C, when compared to 60 °C. The inoculation with L.p-FSO175 and addition of CFS of C.p-L18 enhanced the fermentation and preservation of unsalted green olives, indicated by a significant decrease in pH, increase in free acidity and total disappearance of Enterobacteria. The heat-shock treatment at high temperature (80 °C), inoculation with L.p-FSO175 and addition of CFS of C.p-L18 led to the best reduction in bitterness, and favorable color changes (L, a, and b) in fermented olives. This sequential method led to more appreciated sensory characteristics (mainly bitterness and color) of fermented olives, lower spoilage incidence in olives, and reduced fermentation time to 50 days, and therefore may be suitable to control the fermentation of unsalted green olives of the Moroccan picholine variety.El presente trabajo reporta la fermentación controlada de aceitunas verdes sometidas a choque térmico, sin salar e inoculadas. Se estudian los efectos del choque térmico (60 °C, 70 °C y 80 °C tres veces durante 5 min), la inoculación con cepa oleuropeinolítica de L. plantarum FSO175 (L.p-FSO175) y la adición de sobrenadante libre de células de C. pelliculosa L18 (CFS de C.p-L18), sobre el proceso de fermentación de aceitunas verdes sin salar. Los resultados mostraron la drástica reducción de las enterobacterias autóctonas iniciales, y la mejora de la acidificación de las aceitunas sometidas a choque térmico de 70 °C y 80 °C, en comparación con 60 °C. La inoculación con L.p-FSO175 y la adición de CFS de C.p-L18 mejoró la fermentación y conservación de las aceitunas verdes sin salar, indicada por una disminución significativa del pH, aumento de la acidez libre y desaparición total de enterobacterias. El choque térmico a alta temperatura (80 °C), la inoculación con L.p-FSO175 y la adición de CFS de C.p-L18 condujeron a una mejor reducción del amargor y cambios de color favorables (L, a y b) en aceitunas fermentadas. Este método secuencial, que permitió apreciar las características sensoriales (principalmente amargor y color) de las aceitunas fermentadas, y una menor incidencia de deterioro en las aceitunas, y redujo el tiempo de fermentación a 50 días, puede ser adecuado para controlar la fermentación de aceitunas verdes sin salar de Marruecos, variedad picholine

Synthesis, spectroscopic analysis, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation of 5-(Adamantan-1-yl)-4-(3-Chlorophenyl)-2,4-Dihydro-3H-1,2,4-Triazole-3-Thione, a potential anti-proliferative agent

In Press.We report the synthesis, spectroscopic properties, and anti-proliferative efficacy of the adamantane-linked 1,2,4-triazole derivative 5-(adamantan-1-yl)-4-(3-chlorophenyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione. Crystal packing and intermolecular interactions have been quantified using Hirshfeld surfaces and two-dimensional fingerprint plots. ADMET characteristics, bioavailability, and drug-likeness define the compound’s bioactivity. The gastrointestinal absorption is anticipated to be high, and the projected bioavailability score is 0.55. The topological polar surface area and iLOGP, XLOGP, WLOGP, and MLOGP lipophilicity parameters have been calculated to be 65.70 Å2, 3.24, 4.74, 5.05, and 4.07, respectively. To investigate 5A4ClT's EGFR inhibition and its use in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, Autodock Vina was used to dock it with the crystal structure of the EGFR kinase domain protein. The title chemical hydrophobically interacts with the receptor residues LEU718, VAL726, ALA743, GLU762, THR790, LEU792, MET793, GLY796, ARG841, ASN842, and LEU844 and forms hydrogen bonds with ASP855 and THR854 with an affinity of −8.3 kcal/mol. Toxicity end points and comparison with NSCLC drugs yielded promising findings. 120 ns molecular dynamics simulations confirmed the ligand’s dynamic stability in the target protein’s binding pocket. This research lays the groundwork for future in vivo investigations of 5A4ClT as a non-small cell lung cancer therapy.This research was funded by Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University Researchers Supporting Project No.(PNURSP2023R3), Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.Peer reviewe

Soil color and US Northeast aquods

Aquods commonly occur in wetland settings across a range of temperature regimes. Understanding their morphologies is critical to developing effective hydric soil indicators. In this study, we examined a range of wet Spodosols of the northeastern United States. We tested whether the red hues associated with wet spodic horizons are a function of humic (HA) and fulvic acids (FA) or Fe, and addressed questions related to hydric soil indicators, horizon designation, and soil classification. Only two of the 11 seasonally saturated Spodosols met current criteria for Aquods. Almost all of the 24 Bh, Bhs, or Bhsm horizons had 3 to 10 times more ammonium oxalate extractable Al than Fe (mean Fe was \u3c0.15%), yet only three pedons met the current criteria for Al great groups. We found no consistently applied color or sesquioxide content criteria for separating Bh from Bhs horizons. These results suggest that criteria for horizon designation and classification of Aquods need to be reconsidered. There were no relationships between extractable Fe and hue (p = 0.50). Weak correlation coefficients (-0.40 and -0.39; p = 0.051 and 0.057) between hue and FA and HA suggest little support for red hues being primarily a function of HA or FA. The significant relationship between Al and hue (-0.46; p = 0.025) and the strong correlation between Al and both HA and FA (0.87 and 0.86; p \u3c 0.001) suggest a possible interaction between Al and the humic substances resulting in redder hues. We found more than twice as much HA in the spodic horizons as FA and concluded that FA is the precursor of HA in US Northeast spodic horizons

Antitubercular and antimicrobial activity of nh4vo3 promoted 1,4-dihydropyridine incorporated 1,3,4-Trisubstituted pyrazole

Background: A new series of pyrazole containing 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives 5a-i and 6a-i were synthesized from substituted acetylated aryls and substituted phenylhydrazine by the multistep reaction. Method: The target compounds 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives were obtained from green synthesis of 1,3-disubstituted phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehydes 4a-i with ethyl acetoacetate and methyl acetoacetate at higher temperatures in the presence of ammonium acetate and the catalytic amount of ammonium metavanadate (NH4VO3). The role of ammonium metavanadate was increases rate of the reaction and obtained high yields. Result: Structures of newly synthesized 1,4-dihydropyridine moiety containing pyrazole derivatives were confirmed by FT-IR, NMR and Mass spectral studies. The structure of compound 5b was confirmed by S-XRD study. Further, these compounds were tested for in-vitro antitubercular and antimicrobial studies. Compounds 5a, 5b, 5i, 6a, 6b, 6g, 6h, and 6i were found to be active against all the bacterial microorganisms. Conclusion: The above mentioned compounds have shown lowest MIC ranging between 3.12-12.5 μg/ml against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and MIC values ranging between 7.8- 15.6 μg/ml for Mycobacterium smegmatis, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. For the control of life threatening diseases such as tuberculosis, these eight compounds may be strongly promising synthetic compounds
