Background: The milling of food in agro-industrial products has become an operation of high importance at a business, academic and research level. Objective: This article aims to present the results of a literature review on food milling, with the purpose to identify the most recent uses, types of mills, and new grinding trends. Methods: For this, a research equation was made with the keywords "grinding", "milling" and "food" in Scopus, which yielded as results 192 articles, 52 which are directly related to food, were analyzed. Results: Contributions were found in various types of grinding such as cryogenic grinding, nano-scaled grinding, ultrafine and superfine grinding. Conclusion: The authors highlighted the uses of these types of milling in Agro-industrial products such as nutmeg (Myristica fragrans), wheat bran (Triticum spp), ginger (Zingiber officinale) and green tea powder (Camellia sinensis), among others. It is observed that engineering texts dealing with theoretical and analytical food milling operations do not emphasize the new trends found. As a complementary part of this study, eight patents related to cryogenic grinding in food were analyzed, identifying uses of this type of grinding in coffee, lipids, lycopene, proteins, grains, and seeds; Besides, a query was carried out to find out commercial suppliers of cryogenic grinding equipment, in which six companies from China with their equipment were identified.

PurposeExisting reviews about corruption and anti-corruption have yet to treat the subject of prevention as the main focus of inquiry. The purpose of this paper is to address this need by analyzing definitions, theoretical underpinnings, methods and sectors of interest within published academic articles. By doing so, the main objective is to clarify the theoretical and conceptual foundations of the prevention of corruption.Design/methodology/approachThe research design consists of a systematic literature review, which uses a keyword-string search method across relevant databases. A qualitative and quantitative coding scheme was implemented to provide descriptive statistics.FindingsResults show a need for methodological diversity, theoretical debate and a clarification of the definitional foundations of corruption prevention. Specifically, the results underline a need for more interdisciplinary collaboration between the various fields that study the issue. To this end, a conceptualization of corruption prevention is proposed, built around a two by two matrix, to synthesize existing definitions and spark scholarly debate.Practical implicationsThis paper contributes to the field of anti-corruption on a theoretical level by highlighting the current strengths and weaknesses of the inroads made by the existing literature. Moreover, on a practical research level, this paper suggests fruitful lines of inquiry to channel a rapidly expanding field of study.Social implicationsThis paper underlines the need for corruption prevention policymaking to take note of the broad literature emanating from multiple social science disciplines. This paper also underlines the need for policy implementation to consider the socio-historical context and definitional idiosyncrasies of corruption for policy effectiveness.Originality/valueA core original contribution of this paper is to advance a definition and conceptualization of corruption prevention. Using two conceptual axes – focus and scope – prevention tools are categorized and analyzed to spark further scholarly debate.

The literature review provides information about one of the most promising energy crops – miscanthus (Miscanthus). Data on the systematics, morphology and phonology of the plant, its yield and the quality of the resulting cellulose-containing raw materials are presented. The possibility of effective cultivation of perennial miscanthus plantations in continental regions, including Russia, is shown. The results of studies of the environmental and phytomeliorative effects of miscanthus plantings on the agricultural landscape are considered. The work on studying the possibilities of obtaining industrial products with high added value from miscanthus biomass is analyzed.

The pathogenic dental biofilm formed by species presents itself as a serious problem, since it contributes to the development of oral and bodily diseases. In this sense, Dentistry stands out for expanding knowledge about the oral ecosystem and performing procedures aimed at reducing its pathogenicity and improving oral health. Thus, technological advances and indiscriminate application of antibiotics have made bacterial strains resistant, with a great search for safer, more natural and effective methods. Therefore, the use of plants for healthy treatments is an area of great study in Dentistry. In the present literature review, we sought to analyze the species Zingiber officinali with its antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity. For this study, materials were searched at the BIREME, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Embase, Google Schoolar, PubMed, Science Direct, published until August 2020. The search for the articles was carried out in August 2020, of the 3,401 studies were refined in 18. The findings showed that the plant Zingiber officinale has the capacity to inhibit certain bacteria in vitro, such as Bacillus sp., Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus mutans and fungi, like Candida albicans. Thus, studies in the area are still needed in order to prove its effectiveness in vivo, to analyze the toxicity, drug interactions and side effects of the plant.
