Facile phyto-mediated synthesis of ternary CuO/MnO/ZnO nanocomposite using Nigella Sativa seeds extract: characterization,antimicrobial, and biomedical evaluations.

Scientific reports
The phyto-synthesis of ternary CuO/ MnO/ZnO nanocomposite was achieved by the utilization of an eco-friendly, straightforward approach that involved the extract of Nigella sativa seeds. Our ternary nanocomposite appears to include equal amounts of Cu...

Construction of an Automated Removal Robot for the Natural Drying of Cacao Beans.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Cacao producers often obtain low-quality beans due to the poor manual drying process. This study proposes the construction of an automated prototype robot for the removal during natural drying of cacao beans at Cooperativa Agraria Allima Cacao Ltd., ...

Unleashing the nutritional potential of Brassica microgreens: A case study on seed priming with Vermicompost.

Food chemistry
Microgreens constitute ready-to-eat functional foods, being rich sources of phytonutrients and phytochemicals. Because of their short life cycle, seed priming is a promising strategy to fortify their functional outcome. Vermicompost was applied as se...

Rapid discrimination of different primary processing Arabica coffee beans using FT-IR and machine learning.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
In this study, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis was combined with machine learning, while various analytical techniques such as colorimetry, low-field nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope, two-...

Rapid classification of Camellia seed varieties and non-destructive high-throughput quantitative analysis of fatty acids based on non-targeted fingerprint spectroscopy combined with chemometrics.

Food chemistry
Camellia oil is a high-quality vegetable oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids (FAs), with quality standardization challenged by the diversity of Camellia seed varieties. This study compared spectroscopy techniques (Near-Infrared [NIR] vs Mid-Infrared ...

Design and optimization of tamarind seed polysaccharide-based scaffold for tissue engineering applications using statistical modeling and machine learning, and it's in-vitro validation.

International journal of biological macromolecules
This study explores the development and optimization of a novel biomaterial scaffold for tissue engineering, composed of Tamarind seed polysaccharide (TSP), Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), Chitosan (CS), and Sodium alginate (ALG). Scaffold prop...

Seed Protein Content Estimation with Bench-Top Hyperspectral Imaging and Attentive Convolutional Neural Network Models.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Wheat is a globally cultivated cereal crop with substantial protein content present in its seeds. This research aimed to develop robust methods for predicting seed protein concentration in wheat seeds using bench-top hyperspectral imaging in the visi...

Determination and visualization of moisture content in Camellia oleifera seeds rapidly based on hyperspectral imaging combined with deep learning.

Spectrochimica acta. Part A, Molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy
Moisture content (MC) is crucial for the storage, transportation, and processing of Camellia oleifera seeds. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility for detecting MC in Camellia oleifera seeds using visible near-infrared hyperspe...

Machine learning-based prediction of compost maturity and identification of key parameters during manure composting.

Bioresource technology
Evaluating compost maturity, e.g. via manual seed germination index (GI) measurement, is both time-consuming and costly during composting. This study employed six machine learning methods, including random forest (RF), extra tree (ET), eXtreme gradie...

Deep eutectic solvent-based green extraction of Strychnos potatorum seed phenolics: Process optimization via response surface methodology and artificial neural network.

Talanta
The current research focused on extraction optimization of bioactive compounds from Strychnos potatorum seeds (SPs) using an eco-friendly glycerol-sodium acetate based deep eutectic solvent (DES). The optimization was accomplished using response surf...
