We studied the effect of some mineral waters and some of their constituents on the apical uptake of 14C-butyrate (14C-BT) and 3H-O-methyl-D-glucose (3H-OMG) by Caco-2 cells. Uptake of 14C-BT increased after a 20-minute exposure to 1 % (v/v) distilled water, and, compared to distilled water, it was decreased by Pedras Salgadas® 1 % (v/v) and Melgaço® 5 % (v/v), and increased by Vidago® 5 % (v/v). Moreover, it increased after a 48-hour exposure to Vidago® or Melgaço® waters (5 % (v/v)). Also, uptake of 14C-BT was reduced after a 20-minute exposure to MgCl2, MgSO4, or CaCl2. Uptake of 3H-OMG was reduced after a 20-minute exposure to Melgaço® water [1 % (v/v)], when compared to distilled water. Also, a 48-hour exposure to Pedras Salgadas® or Melgaço® water (5 % (v/v)) increased and decreased uptake, respectively. Finally, uptake of 3H-OMG decreased after a 20-minute exposure to MgSO4 or NaF. In conclusion, uptake of 14C-BT and 3H-OMG by Caco-2 cells is differently modulated by distinct mineral waters.

Maximum Sorption

In this manuscript an improved sorbent based on modified exfoliated carbon nanoplatelets, applied in the removal of ammonium from aqueous samples, is presented. This sorbent showed better efficiency in comparison with the previous one obtained in our group for ammonium removal, the values of the maximum sorption capacity being improved from 10 to 12.04 mg/g. In terms of kinetics and sorption characteristic parameters, their values were also improved. Based on these results, a sorption mechanism was proposed, taking into account ion-exchange and chemisorption processes at the surface of the oxidized exfoliated carbon nanoplatelets. Future applications for simultaneous removal of other positive charged contaminants from natural waters might be possible.

ABSTRACT A seminested reverse transcription-PCR method coupled to membrane filtration was optimized to investigate the presence of norovirus (NV) RNA sequences in bottled and natural mineral waters. The recovery of viral particles by filtration varied between 28 and 45%, while the limit of detection of the overall method ranged from 6 to 95 viral particles. The assay was broadly reactive, as shown by the successful detection of 27 different viral strains representing 12 common genotypes of NVs. A total of 718 bottled and natural mineral water samples were investigated, including 640 samples of finished, spring, and line products (mostly 1 to 1.5 liters), collected from 36 different water brands of various types and from diverse geographic origins over a 2-year period. In addition, 78 samples of larger volume (10 and 400 to 500 liters) and environmental swabs were investigated. From the 1,436 analyses that were performed for the detection of NVs belonging to genogroups I and II, 34 samples (2.44%) were presumptively positive by seminested RT-PCR. However, confirmation by DNA sequence analysis revealed that all presumptive positive results were either due to nonspecific amplification or to cross-contamination. In conclusion, these results do not provide any evidence for the presence of NV genome sequences in bottled waters.

На основании проведенных исследований установлено, что обработка черносмородинового и клюквенного спиртованных соков нитрилотриметилфосфоновой кислотой позволяет снизить концентрацию железа до нормы, установленной требованиями ТР ТС 029/2012 «Требования безопасности пищевых добавок, ароматизаторов и технологических вспомогательных средств» - не более 10 мг/дм, и повысить прозрачность спиртованных соков. Based on the conducted studies, it was found that the treatment of blackcurrant and cranberry alcoholic juices with nitrilotrimethylphosphonic acid reduces the concentration of iron to the norm established by the requirements of Customs Union Technical Regulations «Safety requirements of food additives, flavorings and processing aids» (CU TR 029/2012) - no more than 10 mg/dm and increases the transparency of alcoholic juices.
