Here the authors aimed to find the best preservative combinations to stop bacterial growth in food, using data modeling and biochemical experiments. They discovered that single preservatives are often not enough, with varying effectiveness against different bacteria, and suggest future research into combining preservatives for better results.

Here the authors aimed to compare the effects of artificial Allura Red AC dye and natural cochineal dye on the growth of Escherichia coli and Bacillus coagulans bacteria. Their research found that only Allura Red AC dye significantly affected bacterial growth, specifically amplifying E. coli growth. Based on their results, they suggest that Allura Red AC dye may increase the growth of E. coli bacteria within the human gut.

The escalating crisis of climate change, driven by the accumulation of greenhouse gases from human activities, demands urgent and innovative solutions to curb rising global temperatures. Plasma-based methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) reforming offers a promising pathway for carbon capture and the sustainable production of hydrogen fuel and syngas components. To advance this technology, particularly in terms of energy efficiency and selectivity, it is essential to enhance the conversion efficiencies of CO2 and CH4.
