Use of Osmotic Dehydration Assisted by Ultrasound to Obtain Dried Mango Slices Enriched With Isomaltulose

Scientists developed a new method to dry mango slices while making them healthier by adding isomaltulose, a natural sugar that doesn’t spike blood sugar like regular sugar. Using sound waves to help the process, they incorporated this beneficial sugar into the mangoes in just 20 minutes of treatment. The dried mangoes maintained important nutrients like vitamin C and stayed stable during storage, making them a nutritious snack option for health-conscious consumers.

Heavy Metal Remediation by Dry Mycelium Membranes: Approaches to Sustainable Lead Remediation in Water

This research shows that dried mushroom root networks (mycelium) can effectively remove toxic lead from contaminated water, making it a natural and sustainable alternative to expensive chemical treatments. When enhanced with phosphate treatment, mycelium can remove over 95% of lead even at high concentrations. The mycelium membranes work well in continuous water filtration systems while being biodegradable and environmentally friendly, offering promising solutions for households and communities dealing with lead-contaminated drinking water.
