Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and -optical emission spectroscopy (ICP–OES) for determination of essential minerals in closed acid digestates of peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.).
Validated methods to measure the essential mineral composition of food matrices are needed to satisfy the analytical requirements of product development, quality control, and food regulatory authorities. We investigated the use of inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectroscopy (ICP–OES) and -mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), with and without the use of a dynamic reaction cell (DRC), to analyse […]
Cacogeusia following pine nut ingestion: a six patient case series.
This is a retrospective case series of 6 patients complaining of a bad taste (cacogeusia) specifically metallogeusia, following the ingestion of pine nuts. The taste arose always within 48 h of ingestion, and in all but one patient spontaneously resolved within 14 days. Pine nuts also have a potential for triggering anaphylaxis.

Manganese Blocks Intracellular Trafficking of Shiga Toxin and Protects Against Shiga Toxicosis
Infections with Shiga toxin (STx)Âproducing bacteria cause more than a million deaths each year and have no definitive treatment. To exert its cytotoxic effect; STx invades cells through retrograde membrane trafficking; escaping the lysosomal degradative pathway. We found that the widely available metal manganese (Mn2+) blocked endosome-to-Golgi trafficking of STx and caused its degradation in […]
Evaluation of the total phenolics and quercetin content of foliage in mycorrhizal grape (Vitis vinifera L.) varieties and effect of postharvest drying on quercetin yield
Hexavalent chromium removal from aqueous medium by activated carbon prepared from peanut shell: Adsorption kinetics; equilibrium and thermodynamic studies
Activated carbon was prepared from peanut shell by chemical activation with KOH. Unoxidized activated carbon was prepared in nitrogen atmosphere which was then heated in air at a desired temperature to get oxidized activated carbon. The prepared carbons were characterized for surface area and pore volume and utilized for the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous […]
