The present study aims to evaluate the antibacterial potential of syrups derived from the buds of indigenous Romanian conifers, specifically silver fir (Abies alba) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris). The research is motivated by the increasing clinical interest in natural bioactive compounds as viable alternatives or adjuncts to synthetic pharmaceutical agents. By utilizing traditional extraction methods on raw materials harvested from natural forest ecosystems, this work seeks to characterize the therapeutic and ...

Ornamental plants of the family Poaceae are becoming increasingly popular in modern landscape design due to their high ornamental value, ecological resilience, and adaptability to various soil and climatic conditions. The biological features of growth, habit formation, and methods of reproduction in different climatic conditions were studied. During 2023-25, research was initiated at the Kherson SAEU focusing on the cultivation of grass planting material via seed and vegetative propagation, specifically for Pennis...

The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of wheat sourdough product (powder form) on wheat flour dough rheological properties. Wheat sourdough (SD) was obtained from fermented wheat flour which allows bakers to obtain a healthier, nutritious, tastier and better flavor bread without high fermentation phases. The impact of SD (1-4%) on dough rheological properties have been analyzed using Mixolab according to the standard method ICC No. 173 and HAAKE MARS 40 rheometer (Termo-HAAKE, Karlsruhe, Germany) for osc...

Nowadays, the use of eco-friendly additives in drilling fluids to improve the rheological properties is widespread. This work aims to study the evaluation of rheological properties of drilling fluid suspensions contained Algerian Na-Bentonite and potato starch PS as viscosifier with different concentrations (0.6%, 1.2% and 2%) depending on the aging time. After the trials of aging, the possibility to ameliorate rheological properties of drilling fluid suspensions using an eco-friendly environment additive which is...

Oxidoreductase enzymes play a key role in modern biotechnology due to their high specificity and ability to catalyze redox processes under mild conditions. They are used in environmental monitoring, biosensor development, and fine organic synthesis. However, their practical use in their native form is limited by their low stability, sensitivity to environmental changes, and the inability to re-extract from the reaction mixture. Immobilizing enzymes on various carriers can solve these problems. Magnetic nanoparticl...

In recent years, growing consumer interest in traditional and minimally processed foods has encouraged the development of artisanal meat products with improved nutritional characteristics. Among these, pork pate remains a widely consumed product whose quality is strongly influenced by formulation and raw material selection. The sustainable use of animal-derived resources, including nutrient-rich organs, has gained increasing relevance in food production, as these materials are still insufficiently valorized, their...
