In this study, the effect of silica nanoparticles (SNPs) and UV radiation on the removal of zearalenone (ZEN) from sunflower oil was investigated. Pure sunflower oil samples showed no contamination with ZEN. The optimal conditions for ZEN removal using SNPs were determined to be a contact time of 240 minutes, an initial ZEN concentration of 25 µg/L, and 4 mg of SNPs. The kinetic data conformed to the Freundlich model and pseudo-second-order model. The results showed that SNPs have a high adsorption capacity and act as an effective adsorbent for removing ZEN from sunflower oil. The effect of SNPs in reducing ZEN was significantly more effective than UV radiation. The probable adsorption mechanism includes the chemical bonding of ZEN functional groups with silica groups and the high porosity of SNPs. Due to the low cost and non-toxic nature, the use of SNPs was introduced as an effective method for ZEN removal from food products. This method can be utilized as an efficient approach for ZEN removal in natural samples like edible oil.

Antibiotic resistance is one of the major challenges in the field of public health and medicine, which has serious impacts on the health of humans and societies. This problem occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms change in such a way that they are no longer sensitive to antibiotics. This reduces the effectiveness of treatments, increases treatment costs, and increases the risk of transmitting antibiotic-resistant infections to other people. To deal with this problem, various methods for antibiotic removal have been proposed, including the use of advanced technologies in water and wastewater treatment, the use of new process methods in the production of drugs, as well as the promotion of the optimal use of antibiotics by physicians and pharmacists. Also, educating the community about the correct use of antibiotics and the importance of observing medical orders plays an effective role in reducing antibiotic resistance. This article reviews and reviews the methods and strategies of antibiotic removal, and examines the challenges and potentials in this field in order to take the necessary steps to improve the current situation and prevent the increase in antibiotic resistance.

This study developed carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH) as sorbents to extract flavonoids from grapefruit peel. The impact of solution pH and desorption conditions on extraction efficiency was investigated. In addition, Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, UV-visible spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the carbon nanotubes. After five cycles, the desorption percentage of flavonoids was 82.7%. HPLC analysis indicated that naringin was the dominant flavonoid in the grapefruit extracts, followed by rutin and quercetin. Insights into the adsorption mechanism of naringin to the MWCNT-COOH were obtained using the Freundlich isotherm equation to model the results. The carbon nanotubes developed in this study offer a cost-effective and straightforward method of extracting value-added functional ingredients from food waste, thereby improving the sustainability and economic viability of the food supply.

Because food contamination with mycotoxins is a serious problem, in this study, the ability of aflatoxin B1 to bind to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall was investigated to reduce Sangak bread dough toxicity. For this purpose, aflatoxin B1 at a concentration of 10 μg/kg inoculated to the dough containing 0.27 g of viable saccharomyces cerevisiae, acid treated saccharomyces cerevisiae, and ultrasonicated saccharomyces cerevisiae. Toxin adsorption kinetics were investigated at 24, 28 and 32 °C and 8, 16 and 24 h incubation. The trend for toxin adsorption was as follows: ultrasonicated yeast ˃ acidic yeast ˃ viable yeast. With increasing the incubation temperature and time, toxin adsorption increased in acid treated and ultrasonicated Saccharomyces cerevisiae, while active yeast samples showed the highest toxin removal at 28 °C. The results showed that the adsorption kinetics by active yeast and acid treated yeast could be explained by means of pseudo first order model, while for the ultrasonicated yeast, the data are more consistent with the pseudo second order model. Also, both surface adsorption and intra-particle diffusion contributed to the adsorption rate steps. Therefore, live or non-living yeast cells are suitable biological agents for aflatoxin removal in a contaminated culture medium, however, ultrasonic treatment is more effective.
