Excellent anti-mildew effect of essential oil impregnation on sliced veneer plybamboo and its anti-mildew mechanism

Researchers discovered that clove essential oil is highly effective at preventing mold growth on decorative bamboo veneer materials. The natural oil damages fungal cell membranes and disrupts their internal chemistry, killing the mold without toxic chemicals. When bamboo sheets were treated with clove oil before assembly, they showed excellent resistance to common molds. This provides a green, sustainable alternative to harsh chemical treatments while maintaining product quality.

Design and Evaluation of a Inonotus obliquus–AgNP–Maltodextrin Delivery System: Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitory and Cytotoxic Potential

Researchers studied Chaga mushroom from Romania and developed new ways to package and deliver its beneficial compounds using silver nanoparticles and a food-safe ingredient called maltodextrin. These new delivery systems were designed to work better in the body by improving how well the mushroom’s active ingredients dissolve and stay stable. Testing showed these enhanced formulations were very effective at fighting bacteria, protecting cells from damage, and killing cancer cells.
