Analysis of multiple pesticide and endocrine disruptor residues in drinking wat...

Background: The presence of pesticide residues and endocrine disruptors in sources used for drinking water abstraction has become a significant concern nowadays [1,2]. These substances pose risks to the environment, biodiversity, and public health. Consequently, monitoring these compounds in drinking water is crucial to maintaining their quality and safety. Therefore, there is a need to develop sensitive analyt...

Heavy metal profiles in teas and herbal infusions: a cross-country analysis

Background: Teas and herbal infusions (THIs) are valued for their health benefits but may contain heavy metal impurities, posing health risks due to bioaccumulation and toxicity [1]. Heavy metal contamination in THIs is linked to anthropogenic sources like pollution, soil contamination, irrigation, fertilizers, and food processing equipment [2]. With the rising consumption of THIs, monitoring heavy metal contam...

Protein hydrolysates from salmon heads and cape hake by-products: comparing enz...

Fish by-products can be converted into high-value-added products like fish protein hydrolysates (FPHs), which have high nutritional value and are rich in bioactive peptides with health benefits. This study aims to characterise FPHs derived from salmon heads (HPSs) and Cape hake trimmings (HPHs) using Alcalase for enzymatic hydrolysis and Subcritical Water Hydrolysis (SWH) as an alternative method. All hydrolysa...
