Article Abstract
This study investigated some physico-chemical and biochemical characteristics of different honey types belonging to Turkish flora. Sixty-two honey samples were examined on the basis of pollen analyses, including 11 unifloral honeys (chestnut, heather, chaste tree, rhododendron, common eryngo, lavender, Jerusalem tea, astragalus, clover and acacia), two different honeydew honeys (lime and oak), and 7 different multifloral honeys. Electrical conductivity, moisture, Hunter color values, HMF, proline, diastase number, and sugar analyses of the honey samples were assessed for chemical characterization. Some phenolic components were analyzed by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) to determine honeys' phenolic profiles. Total phenolic compounds, total flavonoids, ferric reducing antioxidant capacity (FRAP) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity were measured as antioxidant determinants. The study results confirm that physico-chemical and biological characteristics of honeys are closely related to their floral sources, and that dark-colored honeys such as oak, chestnut and heather, have a high therapeutic potential.

Effects of etomidate versus propofol for total intravenous anaesthesia on postoperative quality of recovery in patients undergoing day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy: protocol for a multicentre, randomised controlled non-inferiority trial.

Background: The choice of anaesthetic agents may influence specific aspects of postoperative recovery, such as haemodynamic stability, recovery times and the incidence of adverse events, in patients undergoing day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Propofol is widely used in total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) for its favourable recovery profile, while etomidate, valued for its haemodynamic stability, is less commonly used due to concerns about adrenal suppression. This study aims to compare etomidate-based and propofol-based TIVA on postoperative quality of recovery in patients undergoing day-case laparoscopic cholecystectomy, hypothesising that etomidate is non-inferior to propofol.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation-induced photodamage remains a critical dermatological challenge, necessitating natural alternatives to synthetic photo-protectants. This study aimed to evaluate the anti-photodamage potential of fermented Sphagnum moss filtrate (SMFF) through integrated metabolomic, cellular and in vivo analyses. Untargeted metabolomics identified 933 metabolites, with fermentation significantly enriching taurine, glycine derivatives and phenolic acids while activating glycine/serine and taurine/hypotaurine metabolic pathways critical for redox homeostasis.

A sustainable and energy-efficient method was developed to extract bioactive compounds from black cardamom (Amomum subulatum) using microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) with Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents (NADES). Six NADES composed of choline chloride, lactic acid, citric acid, glucose, and sucrose were prepared by heating and stirring. Lact:Suc and Lact:Gluc, showed the highest extraction efficiencies.

Coextraction of Citrullus lanatus seeds and Citrus aurantium peels (1:1, w/w), two food processing wastes, was performed using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO) (345 bar|57 °C|178 min) and pet ether solvents. The major objective of the study was to valorize two fruit processing wastes to obtain a bioactive coextract using a green scCO extraction process and further incorporate it into wax-based composite oleofoams. The scCO coextraction resulted in better extraction of bioactive compounds such as d-limonene and polyunsaturated fatty acids due to the absence of light and lower temperature of extraction, compared to pet ether.

To fulfill the global demand for sustainable livestock production and the implementation of circular economy models, the search for alternative feed sources to lower production cost has increased significantly. The use of agro-industrial waste has proven to be a low-cost strategy for animal feed. The present study evaluates the use of spent mushroom substrate (SMS) from Pleurotus ostreatus (strain Po-IAP) and Lentinula edodes (strain L5) as an ingredient for silage.
