Natural Plant Extracts: An Update about Novel Spraying as an Alternative of Chemical Pesticides to Extend the Postharvest Shelf Life of Fruits and Vegetables
Fresh fruits and vegetables, being the source of important vitamins, minerals, and other plant chemicals, are of boundless importance these days.Although in agriculture, the green revolution was a milestone, it was accompanied by the intensive utilization of chemical pesticides.However, chemical pesticides have hazardous effects on human health and
Lactobacillus plantarum improves LPS-induced Caco2 cell line intestinal barrier damage via cyclic AMP-PKA signaling
Lactobacillus plantarum (LP) has been shown to exhibit protective effects on intestinal barrier function in septic rats, although the regulatory mechanism has not been established.We determined whether LP imparts such protective effects in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced Caco2 cell monolayer model and whether cAMP-PKA signaling is the underlying
Model-Based Quality, Exergy, and Economic Analysis of Fluidized Bed Membrane Reactors
In petroleum refineries, naphtha reforming units produce reformate streams and as a by-product, hydrogen (H2).Naphtha reforming units traditionally deployed are designed as packed bed reactors (PBR).However, they are restrained by a high-pressure drop, diffusion limitations in the catalyst, and radial and axial gradients of temperature and concentr
