The present study deals with the statistical analysis of physico-chemical parameters and cyanophycean members of two pond water quality of Chidambaram, Cuddalore district (Tamil Nadu). The qualities of pond water were analyzed for six months. Eleven important parameters were included in statistical analysis. The qualities of pond water have been assessed by calculating mean, standard deviation and correlation coefficient. Correlation studies of hydrobiology with physico-chemical parameters revealed that the relationship between phytoplankton density in general and that of the specific groups are highly complex and often controlled by interactions of different factors. In the both pond water the correlation coefficient test revealed that cyanophycean members positively correlated with temperature, pH, CO2, alkalinity, hardness, nitrate, BOD and COD at 1 % and 5 % level significant, where as it is negatively correlated with acidity and dissolved oxygen. In the present study it can be concluded that the cyanophycean members are highly tolerant organisms. They prefer to grow at higher temperatures and in highly alkaline, BOD and COD waters. Hence they can with stand high levels of contaminated waters of Thillai Kali Kovil pond, when compared to Ilamiyakkinar Kovil pond.

This paper presents a monitoring of groundwater and surface water in the mining area Tg. Ocna, by analyzing 16 physico-chemical parameters (pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, Pb, Ni, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cr, Mg, SO42-, Al, NO2-, NO3-, NH4+), from three rivers Slanic, Trotus and Valcele, a small lake Groapa Burlacu, a fountain and three monitoring drilling wells (F11, F16 and F17). Studies on the quality of surface water and groundwater in areas near mines are important due to extraction and exploitation of salt. The samples were collected in April 2019. Following the analyzes, their results are included in the following concentration ranges: pH 7.21 to 8.46 unit. pH, turbidity 0.54 to 169 NTU, dissolved oxygen 6 to 8.59 mg/L, Pb 0.075 to 0.095 mg/L, Ni 0.026 to 1.05 mg/L, Cu 0.088 to 0.809 mg/L, NO2- 0.001 to 0.037 mg/L and NO3- 0.290 to 4.34 mg/L. The pH, turbidity and dissolved oxygen were measured in situ using portable equipment�s. As for the other parameters, they were analyzed in the water laboratory from Vasile Alecsandri University of Bacau by using spectrophotometry. Some concentrations of the physico-chemical indicators of the water samples analyzed were found to be more than the water quality classes.

In recent decades, the quality and safety of fruits, vegetables, cereals, meats, milk, and their derivatives from processed foods have become a serious issue for consumers in developed as well as developing countries. Undoubtedly, the traditional methods of inspecting and ensuring quality that depends on the human factor, some mechanical and chemical methods, have proven beyond any doubt their inability to achieve food quality and safety, and thus a failure to achieve food security. With growing attention on human health, the standards of food safety and quality are continuously being improved through advanced technology applications that depend on artificial intelligence tools to monitor the quality and safety of food. One of the most important of these applications is imaging technology. A brief discussion in this chapter on the utilize of multiple imaging systems based on all different bands of the electromagnetic spectrum as a principal source of various imaging systems. As well as methods of analyzing and reading images to build intelligence and non-destructive systems for monitoring and measuring the quality of foods.

The article shows the relationship between the physicochemical parameters of cherry fruits, pre-treated with polysaccharide compositions, during storage by the method of correlation galaxies. Since cherry fruits spoil quickly, their quality deteriorates after harvest, which leads to microbiological spoilage, weight loss. An important factor in preventing microbiological spoilage of fruits is their proper storage and packaging. The aim of the study was to establish the relationship between the physicochemical parameters of cherry fruits, pre-treated with polysaccharide compositions, before storage by the method of correlation galaxies. The object of study were the fruits of cherries varieties Alpha and Memory Artemenko. For research, the fruits were sprayed with a solution of salicylic acid; chitosan with salicylic acid, dried, removed at the consumer stage of maturity, laid down for storage. Unprocessed fruits took control. Physico-chemical parameters of cherry fruits during storage are interconnected and form one correlation galaxy in which the main indicator is the intensity of respiration. Pre-treatment with a solution of chitosan with salicylic acid had a positive effect on maintaining the quality of cherry fruits. Significant changes during the storage of cherry fruits occurred during the treatment of chitosan fruits with salicylic acid. Strong correlations were found between the intensity of respiration and the activity of the catalase enzyme (r = −0,95 and −0,93) and the content of tannins and dyes (r = −0,94 and −0,91). The calculations made it possible to derive regression equations that allow predicting the activity of catalase and the content of tannins and dyes of cherry fruits knowing the intensity of respiration of fruits during storage.

Introduction: Procedures using disposable materials in thehealth area began to be performed, for example in cardiaccatheterization, which has a high prevalence of morbidity andmortality. Objective: To justify and reaffirm the reuse of single-use catheters in surgeries, as it is justified by the economicbenefit gained from replacing the purchase of new materialsby reusing them. Materials and methods: A bibliographic anddocumentary narrative review was carried out using LILACSand NCBI as database, with previously defined filters andselection criteria. Resultados: Decontamination, disinfection,conditioning, sterilization, and quality control tests are criticalstages and, therefore, require training. Each of these stages alsohas characteristic risks, which must be minimized. In order toensure the quality of the catheter reuse process, after the cleaningand sterilization process, techniques beyond microscopicand visual evaluation of the device are required. A diversityof techniques is addressed so that the quality of the process isassured. Although legislation and supervision are divergentaround the world, many countries choose to adopt reprocessingwith economic justification in most cases. The reuse ofhospital devices involves several physico-chemical processes,which must be performed with quality and safety. Conclusion:The need for greater rigor in the norms and guidelines thataddress this practice is clear and urgent, as well as the greaterintensity and rigidity of the responsible inspection agencies.The use of luminol as an indicator of organic contaminantsmay generate a false positive result. Therefore, 3M™ Clean-Trace ™ is the best instrument found in the world market toensure that the material that has been reused is free of organicwaste, and thus fit for use in hospitals.

The authentication of food products is essential for food quality and safety. Authenticity assessments are important to ensure that the ingredients or contents of food products are legitimate and safe to consume. The metabolomics approach is an essential technique that can be utilized for authentication purposes. This study aimed to summarize food authentication through the metabolomics approach, to study the existing analytical methods, instruments, and statistical methods applied in food authentication, and to review some selected food commodities authenticated using metabolomics-based methods. Various databases, including Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, etc., were used to obtain previous research works relevant to the objectives. The review highlights the role of the metabolomics approach in food authenticity. The approach is technically implemented to ensure consumer protection through the strict inspection and enforcement of food labeling. Studies have shown that the study of metabolomics can ultimately detect adulterant(s) or ingredients that are added deliberately, thus compromising the authenticity or quality of food products. Overall, this review will provide information on the usefulness of metabolomics and the techniques associated with it in successful food authentication processes, which is currently a gap in research that can be further explored and improved.
