Summary: This study investigated the contents and bioaccessibility of trace elements in seaweed products available in Belgium. The results showed that 85% of the samples exceeded the permitted concentration levels for As, 39% for Cd, and 4% for I. Washing treatment significantly reduced the concentrations of all trace elements. In vitro simulation of gastrointestinal digestion revealed that the average bioaccessibility in the small intestine was: As (52%) > Ni (35%) > Pb (27%) > Cd (20%). People should practice washing to reduce the concentration and bioaccessibility of trace elements in seaweeds.

Summary: Ultra-high pressing pretreatment was used to improve methane production from Hybrid Pennisetum. Cold isostatic pressing (CIP) was employed as the pretreatment method. The accessibility between substrate and inoculum was enhanced by this pretreatment. Analysis of compact biomass structure decomposition and evaluation of electron transfer capability were carried out. The highest methane production was achieved at a pressure of 400Mpa, with a yield of 227.67 mL/g VS. The pretreatment altered RS, pH, and VFAs in the AD system, leading to increased cumulative methane production. This study provides a promising platform for efficient methanogenic pretreatment development.

Summary: This study compares the digestive fate of plant-based scallop analogs to real scallops and finds differences in microstructure, physicochemical properties, and protein digestibility. Plant-based scallops have lower protein digestibility, which may be due to differences in protein structure, dietary fibers (pectin), or antinutritional factors in plant proteins.

Summary: This study explored the effect of cold isostatic pressure (CIP) pretreatment on the physicochemical properties and subsequent anaerobic digestion (AD) performance of corn straw (CS). The results showed that CIP pretreatment disrupted the dense structure of the CS and altered its crystallinity index and surface hydrophobicity, thereby affecting the AD process. The CIP pretreatment increased the initial reducing sugar concentration and maximum volatile fatty acids content, facilitated acidification and hydrolysis, maintained pH stability, and significantly increased cumulative methane production. Moreover, the microbial results indicated that CIP pretreatment enhanced the abundance of cellulose degrading bacteria and acetoclastic methanogen, thus promoting hydrolysis and methanogenesis. The energy conversion analysis revealed that CIP is a green and non-polluting pretreatment strategy for efficient CS to methane AD.

Summary: A strategy using microwave-induced combustion (MIC) and ion chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (IC-MS) was proposed for the determination of bromine and iodine bioaccessibility from edible seaweeds after in vitro digestion. The concentrations of bromine and iodine in edible seaweeds using the proposed methods were comparable to those obtained using conventional methods. Trueness was assessed by recovery experiments and the results showed good accuracy. MIC was proposed as a sample preparation method for bioaccessible and residual fractions.

Summary: Climate warming and tropospheric ozone (O-3) are threats to plant species in Mediterranean mountains. This study examines the sensitivity of four Mediterranean perennial grasses to O-3 and temperature. Results show that water use efficiency and foliar nutrient composition are greatly affected by climate warming and O-3. Furthermore, these environmental factors can modify the adaptation capacity of Mediterranean grass species to global change. Air pollution should be considered as a driving factor of biodiversity changes in Mediterranean grassland habitats.

Summary: This study evaluates the feasibility of obtaining graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) using different experimental conditions and methods. The findings suggest that the oxidation degree of GO can greatly influence the subsequent reduction process. The combination of solvothermal treatment and chemical reduction can significantly improve the C/O ratio and enhance the structural properties of rGO. Furthermore, rGO obtained from Tour method exhibits higher surface area and pore volume compared to Hummers method, making it more suitable for applications requiring high surface area.
