The effects of washing with tap and ozone water, ultrasonic cleaning and boiling on 16 pesticide (ten fungicides and six insecticides) residue levels in raw strawberries were investigated at different processing times (1, 2 and 5 min). An analysis of these pesticides was conducted using gas chromatography with nitrogen-phosphorous and electron capture detection (GC-NPD/ECD). The processing fact...

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect ozone treatment on mitochondrial energy metabolism in blueberry fruit during storage as well determine relationship between activity mitochondria and antioxidative properties ozonated fruit. Blueberry stored for 28 days at 4 °C daily with gaseous concentration 15 mg L −1 30 min, every 12 h storage. Research showed that characterized by h...

The application of ozone as a supportive therapy has been widely discussed. Ozone antimicrobial, antioxidant, and healing properties. This study presents two cases for gingival tissue repair after facial trauma. In both cases, patients suffered extensive lacerations with bone exposure. Tissues were repositioned sutured; however, ischemia was observed during follow-up potential necrosis. Each pa...

The major purpose of this study was to develop a simple procedure to describe the kinetics of biodegradation of natural organic matter (NOM) in drinking water and to use this procedure to evaluate changes in the concentration of biodegradable organic matter during ozonation and biotreatment. The proposed approach quantitatively describes the formation and removal of rapidly and slowly biodegrad...

Abstract: In Part 4 of Ozonated Liquids in Dental Practice, the chemistry of ozone with plant oils is examined. There is a new interest in ozone in gaseous form and ozone dissolved in plant and vegetable extracts, where it forms ozonoids. These ozonoids are used in the medical, pharmaceutical industries and in general health care. The use of ozone gas, ozonated plant and vegetable extracts has ...

Objective(s): Leishmaniasis is one of the main health problems in developing countries, caused by intracellular protozoan parasites of the Leishmania genus. Although research has been successful in discovering vaccines and anti-parasitic drugs like antimony compounds, their side effects like high toxicity, prolonged regeneration, etc., have raised the replacement importance of natural products ...
