Application of DPPH assay for assessment of particulate matter reducing properties

Different acellular assays were developed to measure particulate matter’s (PM) oxidative potential (OP) to predict the PM ability to generate oxidative stress in living cells and organisms. However, there are still fundamental unresolved issues regarding the influence of assay’s design and the tests’ operative condition on OP obtained results. An additional important point is related to the stability of the species: short-life oxidant species can react and redox equilibria among PM native species could occur during both the sample storage and the extraction phase.

Spinning disk reactor technique for the synthesis of nanometric sulfur TiO2Core-Shell powder for lithium batteries

Sulfur/lithium battery performances are strictly related to the morphology and nanostructure of sulfur particles. In this work, a comparison of the morphological characteristics and electrochemical properties of electrodes based on colloidal sulfur (CS) obtained by means of traditional chemical precipitation from aqueous solution and via spinning disk reactor (SDR) has been performed.

Phytocomplex characterization and biological evaluation of powdered fruits and leaves from Elaeagnus angustifolia

Fully ripe fruits and mature leaves of Elaeagnus angustifolia were harvested and analyzed by means of analytical and biological tests to better comprehend the chemical composition and therapeutic/nutraceutical potential of this plant. Fruits and leaves were dried and the obtained powders were analyzed to study their color character and (via headspace gas chromatography) describe the chemical profile.
