Vietnamese fresh spring rolls were found to have compounds that kill harmful bacteria in food. Photo: RMIT. Professors and researchers at RMIT University (Australia) have shown how to use this natural bacteria-killing compound to keep food fresh for longer. Weapons to kill bacteria A team of researchers from RMIT University was inspired to learn about the potential, antibacterial properties of Nem chua after traveling to Vietnam. They were surprised to see people who ate this raw meat without getting sick even in hot and humid climates. The research team, led by Professor Andrew Smith (Griffith University, Australia) and Dr Bee May, has discovered a new type of germicidal compound in spring rolls. That’s Plantacyclin B21AG, a group of compounds made by bacteria to kill other rival strains of bacteria. This compound is said to be much more potent than previously created man-made preservatives as food preservatives. The harmful bacteria Listera (green) dies after being exposed to the compound in Vietnamese spring rolls, Plantacyclin B21AG. Plantacyclin B21AG can survive at 90 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes and remains stable at high or low pH levels. This compound has the ability to kill a wide range of pathogenic organisms commonly found in food, Listeria, potentially life-threatening, persisting in the refrigerator or even when frozen. Study co-leader Professor Oliver Jones said there was a growing need for natural alternatives to artificial food preservatives. The reason for this is the change in people’s consumption habits. Safe for humans Professor John, associate dean of the Department of Food Science and Technology at RMIT University, said: “Scientists have known this natural bacteria-killing compound for many years. But the challenge was to manufacture it. obtain them in quantities large enough for use in the food industry”. “The structural compound of Nem chua is colorless, odorless, tasteless and very tough. Through this new study, we have identified suitable growth conditions that allow us to produce this compound in large quantities. large, potentially industrial scale. I hope this is an effective, safe and natural solution to both waste and potentially food-borne diseases,” said Professor John. Australian professors and doctors were surprised that spring rolls made from raw meat are not harmful to people. Photo: Vietnamdiscovery. Dr Elvina Parlindungan, who completed the study, said: “Using natural bacteria themselves as effective preservatives in food, we are turning bacteria’s toxic weapons against them. This smart solution from nature will solve all the major challenges in food technology. In the future, these compounds could also be useful as antibiotics in medicine.” Following the discovery, researchers at RMIT University began testing methods for purifying the compound and are planning to include it in experimental products. They look forward to working with many potential industry partners to further develop food technology. This work was supported by a PhD scholarship from the Indonesian Education Foundation (Indonesian Ministry of Finance), awarded to Dr. Parlindungan.

Eyes and lips are particularly sensitive and vulnerable areas when exposed to PFAS chemicals. Photo: CNN Susan Collins said: “The American people have a right to know that the products they are applying to their hair or skin are safe? PFAS substances are a class of man-made chemicals, including PFOA, PFOS and GenX that have can accumulate in the body over time and have been linked to cancers, such as thyroid, liver damage, reduced fertility, and hormone disruption. Accordingly, out of 231 beauty products sold in the US and Canada, the highest PFAS index was found in foundation (63%), waterproof mascara (82%) and lipstick. anti-drift lips (62%). The study was published yesterday (June 15) in the journal Environmental Science & Technology Letters. In addition, the study said, about 88% of the products sampled for testing did not declare any ingredients on the label, despite this being a mandatory requirement of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). FDA). David Andrews, senior scientist with Environmental Action for Consumers, said: “I was a bit shocked and hopefully this will be a wake-up call to the cosmetic industry about the extent of PFAS abuse. spreading across all kinds of makeup products.” The bill was introduced to the Senate Tuesday by Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine, Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Representative Debbie Dingell, Democrat of Michigan. In a letter to CNN Health, Ms Dingell said: “These chemicals are in the products we use every day and most people don’t even know the dangers they face. daily”. If approved into law, Congress will require the FDA to issue a regulation banning the intentional addition of PFAS in cosmetics for 270 days, before the final regulation is enacted within 90 days. More than three-quarters of waterproof mascaras, nearly two-thirds of liquid foundation and lipsticks, and more than half, says study author Graham Peaslee, professor of physics, chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Notre Dame. eye and lip makeup products with a high concentration of fluorine. In addition, of the 29 products above contained at least four PFAS chemicals of concern. However, the most disturbing finding, according to Professor Peaslee, was that 28 of the 29 products containing the apparently toxic PFAS chemicals found did not declare the chemical ingredients on the label. “Although I often advise my patients to avoid products that are harmful,” says Dr. Whitney Bowe, clinical associate professor of dermatology at the Icahn School (Mount Sinai Medical Center) who was not involved in the study. contain perfluor or polyfluor, but this new study worries me because many products are contaminated with toxic compounds containing PFAS – commonly used near and around the eyes and lips, even if they are not listed on the label. “That is a real danger because PFAS chemicals can easily be absorbed through the delicate cells, right near the capillaries. In addition, women often lick their lips and they accidentally ingest the ingredients in this lipstick…”, Ms. Bowe warned. Now the Care Products Council, a 600-member trade association representing more than 90% of the beauty industry in the US, says “we are awaiting internal scientific review” before commenting. official commentary. CNN also reached out to the Canadian Cosmetics Coalition but received no response. What is PFAS? PFAS chemicals are made up of a linked chain of carbon and fluorine atoms, which do not break down in the environment. It is used in a wide variety of products such as non-stick cookware, infection-resistant surgical gowns and drapes, mobile phones, semiconductors, commercial aircraft and low-emission vehicles. Synthetic chemicals used in health-related items have doubled in the past 5 years in the US. Photo: CNN PFAS chemicals are also used to make carpets, clothing, furniture and food packaging resistant to stains, water and grease. Foods that are high in fat – like burgers, fries – are prime candidates for wrapping paper made with PFAS. While two of the most common PFASs – 8-carbon chain perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) – were now phased out of consumer products in the US in the early 2000s, now the consumer industry is created many new versions, with more than 4,700 types of PFAS as of 2018. Newer PFAS chemicals are manufactured with four or six carbon chains, experts say, but they appear to have more hazardous health effects than older versions, leaving consumers and the environment at risk, experts say. still at risk. Microbiologist Linda Birnbaum, former director of the Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the National Toxicology Program, told CNN: “Manufacturers look to shorter-chain carbons. They weren’t really required to be fully tested for safety before anything was put on the market.” According to a 2015 report by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, PFAS chemicals are considered “permanent” chemicals because they do not break down in the environment, and concentrations of PFAS are so widespread that they have been detected. present in the blood of 97% of Americans.

The dry blood test could mark a new era in anti-doping efforts, thereby helping to increase the number of tests for athletes. Witold Banka also said that the above testing measure has the potential to have a significant positive impact on athletes, anti-doping organizations and could be a turning point in efforts to prevent this form of abuse. this fraud. WADA announced that the new method will be tested at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, which are about to take place in Japan this summer. Meanwhile, the testers hope the technique will be used regularly at the Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Beijing (China) in February 2022. According to WADA, dry blood testing allows for better analysis of unstable compounds and makes it easier to test athletes in remote areas of the world where traditional blood samples are often difficult to transport. should be easier. With logistical and cost advantages, the dry blood test will allow agencies to test more athletes and collect more samples. Olivier Rabin, WADA’s head of science, says the cost of taking a dry blood sample is also lower than with conventional methods.

There have been many trends in food and beverage coming and going, but green tea has been the drink that has captured Gen Z’s special affection for many years. It is an especially useful and convenient spice for young people to cool down their lives before the stresses, fatigue of work, study, exams or treckking, camping, and backpacking trips throughout the summer. Green tea brings a lot of interesting surprises with special health benefits. Not only is it a refreshing drink in the middle of a hot summer day, green tea also helps to relieve stress, fatigue, and cool down life thanks to the compound EGCG in tea leaves. EGCG is a natural polyphenol found most commonly in green tea leaves, helping you to always have a relaxed mind, improve your memory. EGCG also helps Z Gen to lose weight, keeping in shape before the temptation of fast food and especially anti-aging, for smooth, rosy skin so that young people can keep their youthful beauty.

Scientists’ discoveries at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) and University of Florida (UF) have shown that marine biodiversity studies can enhance biomedical research. The naming of the compound Gatorbulin-1 (GB1) found in blue algae is a tribute to UF researchers and global partners who lit the torch for the discovery and traits of algae. lam. From self-defense to drugs Cyanobacteria are single-celled terrestrial and aquatic organisms around the world. They can use chemicals to defend themselves against predators. These chemicals also play a role in helping the cyanobacteria communicate. “ We studied a series of compounds called Quorum’s emotional inhibitors that affect the chemical signals that cyanobacteria have, ” said Dr. Valerie Paul, a chemical ecologist at Smithsonian Marine Station. used to communicate. The Quorum emotion is a name for the way bacteria communicate using chemical signals. The scientists examined the cyanobacteria’s communication and defense compounds to test for biomedical properties. Often they realize the compound’s medical potential before understanding why cyanobacteria take it. In a new study, GB1 was shown to have significant anticancer activity with the potential for a new drug formulation. But scientists are not quite sure how cyanobacteria use it. TS. Nature has optimized these compounds, which are created for a certain purpose, in the case of blue-green algae, said Paul, as self-defense. Chemical structure of Gatorbulin-1 (GB1) molecule. From the sea to the lab The blue-green algae targeted, Lyngbya confervoides, was discovered more than a decade before Dr. Paul started collecting this species. She quickly realized that the algae produced many different compounds, so she sent the samples to her collaborator Professor Hendrik Luesch for further study. But finding a new compound like GB1 that has the potential to make a new drug is a long process (not including the time it takes to add and test it to convert the compound into a safe, functional drug). The first stage of the procedure is to isolate and demonstrate that the purified compound can selectively kill cancer cells. Spurred by this discovery, Prof. Hendrik’s team was trying to find a way to synthesize the substance in the laboratory. A reliable way to produce GB1 is the first important thing to do in-depth research. “We like to stay in place to collect more cyanobacteria to isolate enough materials for advanced research,” Dr. Hendrik said. As organic chemists, we are able to replicate these natural molecules in larger quantities in the laboratory without having to depend on cyanobacteria. GB1 has been added to additional stages for the synthesis process. Scientists have discovered that GB1 targets a protein in cells called Tubulin – the same protein cells require during cell division and uses it to build ” internal scaffolding ”. While there are many chemotherapy drugs that target Tubulin, Prof. Hendrik and colleagues assert that GB1 is more special because it interacts with Tubulin in new ways. Now researchers are eager to see GB1 as effective in the real world as well as its potential to make anti-cancer drugs. The cyanobacteria that produced Gatorbulin-1 (GBI) was recognized as the algae Lyngbya confervoides. Healing ability of biochemistry Organic chemists often turn to nature to study drug formulation. For example, compounds in terrestrial life mechanisms such as plants and fungi led to the creation of important drugs such as penicillin that is now a staple of modern medicine. In the ocean, about three-quarters of the earth’s surface has yet to be touched by humans. “It’s really a chemical war in the ocean,” said Professor Hendrik. The more battles and communications like that will help us humans understand more about the active compounds that can apply to mankind. ” And Dr. Paul said: “From a chemical ecologist’s point of view, this biodiversity is equivalent to chemical diversity. We can find everything in the ocean we never dreamed of. ” Nguyen Thanh Hai ( (According to smithsonianmag) )

Therefore, many people find the solution is to choose a deodorant. But bad or inappropriate products can have the opposite effect, leaving stains or making the body more uncomfortable. Is your body sweating more or less? Basically, deodorants work to remove odors and the bacteria that are formed from odors. According to the Healthline , it is formulated to remove body odor instead of sweat and is often alcoholic. When applied, it increases the acidity of the skin, reducing the attractiveness of bacteria. If your body is sweating a little, you should prioritize products with natural scents – the most common. If you do not sweat a lot, men should choose products with natural scents. Photo: Rolling Stone. In contrast, men may need antiperspirants. The active ingredients in this product often include aluminum-based compounds that temporarily block sweat-producing pores, helping to reduce the amount of sweat secreted. Be cautious, however, as some products can irritate or damage the armpit area. Which form of deodorizer should be chosen? Deodorants come in several different forms: spray, bar, gel, and even wipes. Experts often recommend sticking deodorants as it holds moisture in the skin. Meanwhile, deodorant sprays bring out the scent but make the skin drier. Deodorant sprays are fragrant but make skin dry. Photo: Cosmopolitan. Ingredients to avoid Whether it’s an antiperspirant or deodorant, you need to avoid some of the ingredients below in order not to damage your skin. Men should avoid products with high alcohol content. It can irritate the skin and leave a rash. Natural ingredients like coconut oil give better benefits to the skin. Also, men should make sure the product is free from parabens – synthetic compounds used to control bacteria and can cause discomfort.

Apply vinegar to cutting boards, knives

Sisters dissolve water and vinegar in a bowl of 1: 1 ratio. Then apply this mixture evenly on the knife and cutting board. The vinegar will prevent the reaction of sulfur in the onion, making the onions not sting.

Refrigerate the onions before slicing

After peeling onions, women immediately put onions in the freezer for 5 minutes. After that, take out the onion and chop it as usual. Women note, should not be left for too long in the cupboard, they will be frozen, making the food less delicious when processed.

Cut the onion in the water

Place the cutting board in a large, hydrated pot. Place the onions on the cutting board and slice them as usual. In this way, the sulfur compounds in the onion will dissolve in the water, not stinging your eyes.

Some other notes that you need to remember to cut onions do not sting your eyes:

• The onion must be very sharp

• Limit the cut onions that come into contact with the eyes.

When slicing onions, cut the base of the onion last because sulfur compounds are concentrated in this part of the onion.

• Women can wear goggles when slicing onions or use a blender to grind onions.

EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate) is a naturally occurring polyphenol found in green tea, greatly beneficial for the health of the user.

The great use of EGCG compound helps Green Tea be loved by millions of people and used as a beverage every day.

EGCG compounds help rejuvenate the body, help beautify the skin, lose weight, keep fit and relieve stress and fatigue. EGCG is the most powerful antioxidant compound found in nature, helping to reduce stress for the well-being of the mind.

EGCG extract in Zero Degree Green Tea

EGCG compounds only exist for a certain period of time, usually 4-6 hours after preparation. With conventional bottled tea products, the EGCG content will decrease during the extraction process.

Zero Degree Green Tea, an indispensable item in youth trips.

According to experts, the secret to recognizing the quality of bottled green tea lies in the taste. Products with the most characteristic acrid taste and natural aroma will have a high level of EGCG and maximize the nutrients of the tea leaves.

A market survey in the bottled tea segment revealed that up to 75% of consumers rated Khong Do Green Tea as having the most distinctive acrid taste and aroma of bottled tea products available on the market.

This is also a familiar drink of young people in outdoor rave associations.

Ms. Tran Uyen Phuong, Deputy General Director of Tan Hiep Phat said: “Zero Degree Green Tea is produced on the Aseptic aseptic cold extraction technology, so it can keep up to the healthful nutrients from Thai Nguyen green tea leaf ingredients, typically the EGCG compound that creates the acrid taste. product characteristics.

Specifically, Aseptic aseptic cold extraction technology is the optimal combination of 5 sterile elements (sterilization bottles, sterilization caps, sterilized water, sterilized products, sterile extraction media) to create products. have maximum taste and content of EGCG because the product solution is not cooked through high temperatures such as hot extraction technology and does not require preservatives, industrial color“, Ms. Phuong added.

With EGCG compound, Zero Degree Green Tea helps to relieve stress, fatigue, and cool life.
