Abstract
Nanotechnology in human nutrition represents an innovative advance in increasing the bioavailability and efficiency of bioactive compounds. This work delves into the multifaceted dietary contributions of nanoparticles (NPs) and their utilization for improving nutrient absorption and ensuring food safety. NPs exhibit exceptional solubility, a significant surface-to-volume ratio, and diameters ranging from 1 to 100 nm, rendering them invaluable for applications such as tissue engineering and drug delivery, as well as elevating food quality. The encapsulation of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants within NPs introduces an innovative approach to counteract nutritional instabilities and low solubility, promoting human health. Nanoencapsulation methods have included the production of nanocomposites, nanofibers, and nanoemulsions to benefit the delivery of bioactive food compounds. Nutrition-based nanotechnology and nanoceuticals are examined for their economic viability and potential to increase nutrient absorption. Although the advancement of nanotechnology in food demonstrates promising results, some limitations and concerns related to safety and regulation need to be widely discussed in future research. Thus, the potential of nanotechnology could open new paths for applications and significant advances in food, benefiting human nutrition.

Abstract
Typhoid fever occurs in an endemic form in Brazil and is a serious public health problem in some regions. In this scenario, further research is urgently needed to identify the associations between socioeconomic factors and typhoid fever, contributing to guiding policy decisions in the country. We aimed to investigate the influence of socioeconomic disparities on the prevalence of typhoid fever and non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) in Brazil. A search for data from 2010 to 2019 was carried out with the national health and human development agencies. As milk and derivatives are the fourth food incriminated in food outbreaks in Brazil, analyses for detecting Salmonella spp. in commercial dairy products allowed us to assess whether the outbreaks associated with these foods are due to inadequacies in sanitary control in dairy establishments or whether they are mainly home-based outbreaks. Predictive models validated by the bootstrapping method demonstrate an association of NTS prevalence reduction with improvements in the Sanitation Service Index (Rv ≥ -8 0.686; p ≤ 0.01) and Municipal Human Development Index - MHDI - (Rv = -0.789; p ≤ 0.02). In the North, typhoid fever prevalence had seasonal variability with the rainfall, while sanitation services (Rv ≥-0.684; p ≤ 0.04) and MHDI (Rv ≥-0.949; p ≤ 0.003) directly influenced Northeast and South Brazil. Thus, the unequal distribution of investments in the sanitation sector contributed to disparities in typhoid fever prevalence among Brazilian regions. The absence of Salmonella spp. in commercial samples ratified the collected data that the outbreaks of Salmonella spp. in the Brazilian population occur mainly at residences. These findings show that implementing public health education and increasing investments in sanitation in regions with poor service can control outbreaks of Salmonella spp. in Brazilian endemic areas.

Abstract
Polyphenols derived from fruits, vegetables, and plants are bioactive compounds potentially beneficial to human health. Notably, compounds such as quercetin, curcumin, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), and resveratrol have been highlighted as antiproliferative agents for cancer. Due to their low solubility and limited bioavailability, some alternative nanotechnologies have been applied to encapsulate these compounds, aiming to improve their efficacy against cancer. In this comprehensive review, we evaluate the main nanotechnology approaches to improve the therapeutic potential of polyphenols against cancer using in vitro studies and in vivo preclinical models, highlighting recent advancements in the field. It was found that polymeric nanomaterials, lipid-based nanomaterials, inorganic nanomaterials, and carbon-based nanomaterials are the most used classes of nanocarriers for encapsulating polyphenols. These delivery systems exhibit enhanced antitumor activity and pro-apoptotic effects, particularly against breast, lung, prostate, cervical, and colorectal cancer cells, surpassing the performance of free bioactive compounds. Preclinical trials in xenograft animal models have revealed decreased tumor growth after treatment with polyphenol-loaded delivery systems. Moreover, the interaction of polyphenol co-delivery systems and polyphenol-drug delivery systems is a promising approach to increase anticancer activity and decrease chemotherapy side effects. These innovative approaches hold significant implications for the advancement of clinical cancer research.

Abstract
The increased spread of COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 has made it necessary to develop more efficient, fast, accurate, specific, sensitive and easy-to-use detection platforms to overcome the disadvantages of gold standard methods (RT-qPCR). Here an approach was developed for the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus using the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technique for SARS-CoV-2 RNA target amplification in samples of nasopharyngeal swabs. The discrimination between positive and negative SARS-CoV-2 samples was achieved by using fluorescence spectra generated by the excitation of the LAMP's DNA intercalator dye at λ497 nm in a fluorescence spectrophotometer and chemometric tools. Exploratory analysis of the 83 sample spectra using principal component analysis (PCA) indicated a trend in differentiation between positive and negative samples resulting from the peak emission of the fluorescent dye. The classification was performed by partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) achieving a sensitivity, a specificity and an accuracy of 100%, 95% and 89%, respectively for the discrimination between negative and positive samples from 1.58 to 0.25 ng L-1 after LAMP amplification. Therefore, this study indicates that the use of the LAMP technique in fluorescence spectroscopy may offer a fast (<1 hour), sensitive and low-cost method.

Abstract
A new transmission route of SARS-CoV-2 through food was recently considered by the World Health Organization (WHO), and, given the pandemic scenario, the search for fast, sensitive, and low-cost methods is necessary. Biosensors have become a viable alternative for large-scale testing because they overcome the limitations of standard techniques. Herein, we investigated the ability of gold spherical nanoparticles (AuNPs) functionalized with oligonucleotides to detect SARS-CoV-2 and demonstrated their potential to be used as plasmonic nanobiosensors. The loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technique was used to amplify the viral genetic material from the raw virus-containing solution without any preparation. The detection of virus presence or absence was performed by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy, by monitoring the absorption band of the surface plasmonic resonance (SPR) of the AuNPs. The displacement of the peak by 525 nm from the functionalized AuNPs indicated the absence of the virus (particular region of gold). On the other hand, the region ~300 nm indicated the presence of the virus when RNA bound to the functionalized AuNPs. The nanobiosensor system was designed to detect a region of the N gene in a dynamic concentration range from 0.1 to 50 × 103 ng·mL-1 with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1 ng·mL-1 (2.7 × 103 copy per µL), indicating excellent sensitivity. The nanobiosensor was applied to detect the SARS-CoV-2 virus on the surfaces of vegetables and showed 100% accuracy compared to the standard quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) technique. Therefore, the nanobiosensor is sensitive, selective, and simple, providing a viable alternative for the rapid detection of SARS-CoV-2 in ready-to-eat vegetables.

Abstract
Bioactive compounds represent a broad class of dietary metabolites derived from fruits and vegetables, such as polyphenols, carotenoids and glucosinolates with potential for cancer prevention. Curcumin, resveratrol, quercetin, and β-carotene have been the most widely applied bioactive compounds in chemoprevention. Lately, many approaches to encapsulating bioactive components in nano-delivery systems have improved biomolecules' stability and targeted delivery. In this review, we critically analyze nano-delivery systems for bioactive compounds, including polymeric nanoparticles (NPs), solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN), nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC), liposomes, niosomes, and nanoemulsions (NEs) for potential use in cancer therapy. Efficacy studies of the nanoformulations using cancer cell lines and in vivo models and updated human clinical trials are also discussed. Nano-delivery systems were found to improve the therapeutic efficacy of bioactive molecules against various types of cancer (e.g., breast, prostate, colorectal and lung cancer) mainly due to the antiproliferation and pro-apoptotic effects of tumor cells. Furthermore, some bioactive compounds have promised combination therapy with standard chemotherapeutic agents, with increased tumor efficiency and fewer side effects. These opportunities were identified and developed to ensure more excellent safety and efficacy of novel herbal medicines enabling novel insights for designing nano-delivery systems for bioactive compounds applied in clinical cancer therapy.

Abstract
Inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) and natural antioxidant compounds are an emerging trend in the food industry. Incorporating these substances in biobased and biodegradable matrices as polysaccharides (e.g., starch, cellulose, and chitosan) and proteins has highlighted the potential in active food packaging applications due to more significant antimicrobial, antioxidant, UV blocking, oxygen scavenging, water vapor permeability effects, and low environmental impact. In recent years, the migration of metal NPs and metal oxides in food contact packaging and their toxicological potential have raised concerns about the safety of the nanomaterials. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the main biobased and biodegradable polymer nanocomposites, inorganic NPs, natural antioxidants, and their potential use in active food packaging. The intrinsic properties of NPs and natural antioxidant actives in packaging materials are evaluated to extend shelf-life, safety, and food quality. Toxicological and safety aspects of inorganic NPs are highlighted to understand the current controversy on applying some nanomaterials in food packaging. The synergism of inorganic NPs and plant-derived natural antioxidant actives (e.g., vitamins, polyphenols, and carotenoids) and essential oils (EOs) potentiated the antibacterial and antioxidant properties of biodegradable nanocomposite films. Biodegradable packaging films based on green NPs-this is biosynthesized from plant extracts-showed suitable mechanical and barrier properties and had a lower environmental impact and offered efficient food protection. Furthermore, AgNPs and TiO2 NPs released metal ions from packaging into contents insufficiently to cause harm to human cells, which could be helpful to understanding critical gaps and provide progress in the packaging field.

Abstract
A stable moisturizing cosmetic emulsion was developed from babassu nut oil and high concentrations of sunscreens. Babassu nut oil was chosen because within the laboratory time-scale, this vegetable oil showed stable physicochemical properties (relative density, acidity index, and refracted index) and a good ratio between lauric and myristic fatty acids. The presence of these saturated fatty acids can confer specific activities to the cosmetic emulsion, such as antiviral, bactericidal, and anti-inflammatory activity. The prepared cosmetic emulsion, even after the centrifugation test (3000 rpm for 15 min), showed a creamy appearance with stable light-yellow coloration and the typical odor of babassu nut oil-based products. In the accelerated stability assays (pH, viscosity, and globule homogeneity), the cosmetic emulsion was kept at different temperatures (2.0 ± 0.2 °C (TG), 25 ± 2 °C (TA), and 40 ± 2 °C (TE)) and time durations (24 hours (t0), 7 days (t7), 15 days (t15), and 30 days (t30)). Finally, developed the cosmetic emulsion was investigated for occlusive properties and in vitro sun protection factor (SPF). Both were measured at room temperature and did not change significantly under the experimental conditions employed. The maximum experimental value measured in the in vitro occlusive test was equal to 34.2 ± 2.8, and the SPF was 39 ± 1.6 (t0) and 38 ± 2.9 (t30). In agreement with European and Brazilian legislations, the obtained babassu oil-based cosmetic emulsion is classified to have a high sun protection factor. A stable moisturizing cosmetic emulsion was developed from babassu nut oil and high concentrations of sunscreens.![]()

Abstract
AbstractKetoconazole (KTZ) was incorporated in waterborne poly(urethane-urea)s dispersions (WPUU), aiming at the production of films for drug sustained release. Dispersions based on poly(ethylene glycol-block-propylene glycol) (PEG-b-PPG) (four monomers with different contents of PEG hydrophilic segments), poly(propylene glycol), isophorone diisocyanate, dime-thylolpropionic acid and hydrazine were produced and characterized by apparent viscosity and average particle size (APS). Cast films-drug interaction was investigated by Fourier-Transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR). In vitro dissolution assays were performed in simulated gastrointestinal juices, followed by application of kinetic models. Stable pseudoplastic dispersions, with APS between 27 to 320 nm were obtained. FTIR from KTZ-loaded films indicated interactions between polymer and drug. In vitro release of KTZ was achieved above 80%, notably influenced by PEG-based segments content up to 2 h, followed by sustained release for 8 h. Higuchi’s and first-order equations described the drug kinetic profile, as diffusion of the drug and erosion of the swollen polymer, respectively.
