Effect of mild heat treatment on browning‐related parameters in fresh‐cut Iceberg lettuce
Enzymatic browning of Iceberg lettuce was studied by subjecting midrib tissues to a series of mild heat treatments. The effects of wounding and subsequent application of a mild heat treatment were examined by monitoring the browning potential (BP) and the activity of three browning-related enzymes (i.e., phenylalanine ammonia lyase [PAL], polypheno...
Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using one-pot and microwave-assisted methods and their subsequent embedment on P...
Antibacterial silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesised via an environmentally benign thermally-assisted one-pot and microwave-assisted experimental set-up using apple extract as a reducing agent. The formation of these AgNPs was confirmed by UV-Vis, XRD and EDS while their size distribution was determined by TEM micrographs. The AgNPs were uni...
L'innovation au service de l'adaptation aux migrations et de leur prévention

Boosting care and knowledge about hereditary cancer : European Reference Network on Genetic Tumour Risk Syndromes
Approximately 27-36million patients in Europe have one of the similar to 5.000-8.000 known rare diseases. These patients often do not receive the care they need or they have a substantial delay from diagnosis to treatment. In March 2017, twenty-four European Reference Networks (ERNs) were launched with the aim to improve the care for these patients...
