This paper looks at the antibacterial and toxic effects of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on Escherichia coli bacteria and Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies. They modified the AgNPs size, concentration, and surface coating to determine the effects on each of the organisms. For both organisms, increased AgNP concentration demonstrated increased toxicity but particle size and surface coating had opposing effects.

Pressing filtration for extraction of cabbage dietary fiber and soluble components
Here the authors introduce pressing filtration as a novel, efficient, and low-energy method for extracting dietary fiber from cabbage, which successfully retains heat-sensitive nutrients and achieves a high fiber yield. The study demonstrates the scalability and economic viability of this technique for commercial use, highlighting that the resulting high-fiber cabbage powder can be incorporated into familiar foods like hamburger buns and beef patties without compromising taste or sensory quality.
