Summary: The lithium-ion industry requires high amounts of high purity lithium, with spodumene and brine being the major sources. Spodumene has multiple forms, with α-spodumene being the natural occurrence and highly resistant to chemical attack. A microwave-assisted chemical analysis procedure was developed to determine lithium and other metals in α-spodumene, using a mixture of sulfuric and phosphoric acids and diluted hydrofluoric acid solution. The feasibility of using ammonium fluoride instead of hydrofluoric acid was also demonstrated.

Summary: The EU lacks specific legislation for paper and cardboard food contact materials, and national legislation differs among member states. There is a wide variability of protocols and conditions used in scientific studies, making comparisons difficult. The procedures and conditions laid down in EU legislation for plastics and European Standards may serve as a good basis for future assessment of paper and cardboard food contact materials.

Summary: We conducted a survey on caterers with and without past hygiene violations to investigate their staffing, food safety practices, and correlations with microbial counts in food and the processing environment. The study found that past infringements did not have a negative impact on the current execution of food safety measures or the microbial quality of food. Instead of imposing stricter regulations on errant operators, alternative efforts to enhance food safety and their policy implications are discussed.

Summary: Plastics are widely produced and used globally, resulting in the presence of plastic particles in the environment and food. Plastic particles can also be found in energy-rich waste biomass from the food industry, supermarkets, and restaurants. These waste streams can be used for biogas production or as feed for insects, which convert it into valuable biomass. However, the presence of plastic particles in these applications poses a threat to the environment, as well as human and animal health. Therefore, there is a need to determine the (micro)plastic content to assess the potential danger. A closed-vessel microwave-assisted acid digestion method was developed to accurately determine the meso- and microplastic content in food matrices. The method was tested on different plastics mixed with a food matrix, resulting in high plastic recovery and minimal changes to the intrinsic characteristics of the plastics.

Summary: The textile sector is recognized as one of the most polluting industries in society, and the educational sector plays a strategic role in transforming the value-added products in the textile production chain. This study aims to validate the theoretical assumptions of teaching sustainability and circular economy practices. The results show a lack of emphasis on teaching good sustainability practices in the analyzed Fashion Design courses in Brazil. Although sustainability and circular economy practices have been internalized, there is a need to further develop and prioritize practices associated with the core of the circular economy. These practices have the potential to generate innovative solutions for the sustainable fashion segment.

Summary: This study aimed to enhance the bioavailability of rosmarinic acid, a bioactive compound with high anticancer activity, by encapsulating it in tetrasulfide-based porous organosilica nanoparticles. The synthesized nanoparticles were small in size and had a high surface area and an average pore diameter. The nanoparticles showed effective accumulation in cancer cells without toxicity to normal cells. Treatment with rosmarinic acid-containing nanoparticles resulted in significant cell death in cancer cells. Overall, these findings suggest that the synthesized nanoparticles can enhance the pharmacological effects of rosmarinic acid.

Summary: Plasma protein binding plays a crucial role in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of therapeutic bioactive materials. In this study, the interaction of nordentatin, a member of coumarins, with human alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (AGP) was investigated, and the anticancer potency of nordentatin against human colorectal cancer cells was evaluated. The results showed that nordentatin binds to AGP through a static quenching mechanism and exhibits inhibitory effects on the growth of HCT-116 cells by increasing intracellular ROS and [Ca2+] levels and triggering apoptosis-related gene overexpression. Therefore, nordentatin could be a promising plant-based therapy for colorectal cancer.
