Toxicological and bioactivity evaluation of blackcurrant press cake, sea buckthorn leaves and bark from Scots pine and Norway spruce extracts under a…

2021

Aqueous extracts from blackcurrant press cake (BC), Norway spruce bark (NS), Scots pine bark (SP), and sea buckthorn leaves (SB) were obtained using maceration and pressurized hot water and tested for their bioactivities. Maceration provided the extraction of higher dry matter contents, including total phenolics (TPC), anthocyanins, and condensed tannins, which also impacted higher antioxidant activity. NS and SB extracts presented the highest mean values of TPC and antioxidant activity. Individually, NS extract presented high contents of proanthocyanidins, resveratrol, and some phenolic acids. In contrast, SB contained a high concentration of ellagitannins, ellagic acid, and quercetin, exp…

The hyperspectral and smartphone technology in CBRNE countermeasures and defence

2016

Caused by industrial and military use as well as other sources of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high-yield explosive (CBRNE) materials, the global threat of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) remains in spite of such weapons being internationally prohibited. With these materials, industrial and transportation accidents are likely in all countries and can also be triggered by natural disasters, such as in Fukushima in 2011. In addition, governments cannot fully control the manufacturing and usage of WMDs, as extreme terrorists have access to as well as the knowledge and motivation to use such materials. Due to multiple large-scale risks, the countering of CBRNE threats requ…

Effects of organic material on the bioavailability, toxicokinetics and toxicity of xenobiotics in freshwater organisms

Pohjoisille ekosysteemeille tyypillinen runsas orgaanisen aineksen määrä joko liuenneena vedessä tai järvien pohjamudassa voi sitoa useita kemiallisia saasteita ja siten vähentää eliöiden altistumista niille sekä siitä syntyviä myös koko ekosysteemille haitallisia vaikutuksia. Anna Nikkilän tutkimuksessa havaittiin, että orgaaninen aines voi vähentää merkittävästi harvasukamadon sekä vesikirpun altistumista tietyille rasvaliukoisille ympäristömyrkyille aromaattisten monirenkaisten hiilivetyjen (pyreeni, reteeni) sekä kloorifenolien (2,4,5-trikloorifenoli, pentakloorifenoli) ryhmistä. Osa tutkituista yhdisteistä sitoutui orgaaniseen ainekseen eikä näin ollut eliöille altistavassa muodossa. V…
