Summary: The study found that UV/ClO2 pretreatment can effectively alleviate ultrafiltration membrane fouling, improve membrane hydrophilicity and interfacial free energy. It can also remove organic pollutants and fluorescent components, but may lead to the deterioration of dissolved organic carbon in the permeate.

Summary: The study aimed to increase the biocompound content in soybean and amaranth sprouts by UV-C treatment, compared to chlorine treatment. The results showed that UV-C-treated sprouts had higher phenolics and flavonoid content. The best treatment was UV-C applied at a distance of 3 cm for 15 minutes to achieve the highest concentration of bioactive compounds.

Summary: The performance of fumaric acid and maleic acid as potential internal standards was investigated for accurate quantitation of metabolites in human blood samples using NMR spectroscopy, revealing fumaric acid as a robust standard for all three biospecimens and maleic acid as suitable for plasma and serum. This study provides new opportunities for improved and accurate quantitation of metabolites in human blood samples and strengthens efforts to combine and compare NMR and MS based metabolite data for metabolomics research.

Summary: This study presents a novel UVA/chlorine dioxide (ClO2) advanced oxidation process (AOP), which generates a spectrum of reactive species through the photolysis of ClO2 using UVA-LEDs. The UVA(365)/ClO2 AOP exhibits lower pH-dependency, lower energy input requirement, and lower formation of byproducts compared to the well-known UVC254/chlorine AOP.

Summary: This study investigated the oxidation efficiency of Mn(II) by the UV-enhanced chlorination system and identified the responsible reactive radical species. It was found that the UV/chlorine system greatly enhanced the oxidation kinetics of Mn(II), with ClO· and ClO2 identified as the dominant reactive species.

Summary: The study explores the effect of light radiation on stilbene induction and ROS metabolism of peanut sprouts, finding that different types of light sources can significantly promote stilbenes and antioxidants in peanuts during germination. Specifically, UV-C radiation can effectively increase the contents of stilbenes and antioxidants in peanut sprouts by mediating the homeostasis of oxidant-antioxidant balance.

Summary: Organic acids are important consumable materials with wide applications, and their global market is projected to reach $36.86 billion by 2026. To address environmental concerns and meet sustainable development goals, genetically-modified microbes are used for large-scale fermentative production of organic acids, replacing the traditional chemical catalysis process. However, low productivity has hindered the industrial-scale application of bio-based organic acids.

Summary: The lipophilicity of fumaric acid and maleic acid was determined using the shake-flask method and reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography. The experimental partition coefficients showed that maleic acid is less lipophilic than fumaric acid. Reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography was also used to evaluate the chromatographic lipophilicity of the two acids.
