Clostridium perfringens (C. perfringens) has the ability to form metabolically-dormant spores that can survive food preservation processes and cause food spoilage and foodborne safety risks upon germination outgrowth. This study was conducted to inve...
Herein, an isothermal padlock probe-based assay for the simple and portable detection of pathogens coupled with a glucose oxidase (GOx)-based electrochemical readout is reported. Infectious diseases remain a constant threat on a global scale, as in r...
In this paper, a portable real-time sensing device was built for Concanavalin A (Con A) and glucose detection using a smartphone. The ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET) functioning at a low working point was selected as a small-size, low-p...
The corms of Hypoxis argentea are widely used as a traditional remedy for diabetes mellitus in South Africa. In this study, we investigated the effects of non-toxic concentrations (12.5-100 μg mL-1) of the aqueous extract of H. argentea (HAA) corms o...
Recovering valuable materials from food waste by applying the concept of a bio-refinery is attracting considerable interest. To this effect, we investigated the possibility of enhancing the enzymatic hydrolysis of food waste using ultrasonic technolo...

BACKGROUND: The existence of saccharide-holmium complexes, containing mono or polysaccharide molecules, is an attractive hypothesis toward a radiation therapy (RT) with beta-emitters targeting high glucose metabolic human sites. To exam such hypothes...
This paper describes the fabrication of and data collection from two microfluidic devices: a microfluidic thread/paper based analytical device (μTPAD) and 3D microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD). Flowing solutions of glucose oxidase (GOx...
Molecular dynamics simulation was performed on sugar profile and moisture content-based mixture systems of six Indian honey samples. Comparative studies were performed to understand the interactive effects of fructose, glucose, sucrose, maltose and w...
Enzymes are biological catalysts with many industrial applications, but natural enzymes are usually unsuitable for industrial processes because they are not optimized for the process conditions. The properties of enzymes can be improved by directed e...
