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 ...

This investigation evaluates the biocatalytic efficacy of oxidases, more specifically lipoxygenase, on the physicochemical and rheological dynamics of wheat flour matrices. A systematic review of current literature highlights the multifaceted functional advantages of lipoxygenase incorporation across diverse wheat cultivars. Empirically, lipoxygenase significantly modulates dough rheology, concurrently enhancing extensibility, viscoelasticity, deformation resistance, and hydration capacity. Furthermore, we elucida...
