A methylene blue (MB) indicator embedded in sodium alginate (SA) film was previously examined for detecting active oxygen species. In a previous study, spectrometry was used to identify and characterize the MB/SA complex. However, the decolorization mechanism was not fully assessed. In this study, our aim is to conduct computational calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level to clarify the exact types and positions of the interaction that cause the decolorization in MB. The results demonstrate that MB/SA interacts with carboxylates (-COO(superscript)-(superscript)) of SA and the N, C, and S atoms of MB, confirming previous experimental observations.

Abstract This work aimed to investigate the efficient reduction of methylene blue (MB) by a heterogeneous magnetic nanoparticles/copper (MNs/Cu) Fenton-like catalyst. The MNs/Cu was successfully synthesized in the presence of Citrus aurantifolia extract. The characterizations showed an effective fabrication of Cu onto the surface of MNs. The reduction of MB by the MNs/Cu Fenton-like catalyst presented an efficiency of 99.5% at the optimum conditions, including MNs/Cu dose of 0.1 mg, temperature of 25°C, contact time of 75 min, pH 4.0, and 20 mL H2O2 30%, MB initial concentration of 25 mg/L. The reduction kinetics was well fitted to pseudo-second-order with reaction rate constant of 0.0029 g/mg.min. The main mechanism of the MB reduction due to active oxygen species was pointed out. The decrease of reduction yield at high pH, catalyst dose and MB concentration was elucidated in this study.

Background: In recent years, a new everbearing strawberry cultivar, ‘Summertiara’ was cultivated to supply the strawberries in pre-harvest season from July to October in Japan. For highly research and development of processing of this cultivar, ‘Summertiara’ berries, the objective of this study was to characterize these berries, with relation to chemical parameters, total phenols, total flavonoids, total vitamin C, and total anthocyanins, and was to investigate the solubility and the stability of anthocyanins from the berries. Moreover, the functional properties such as antioxidative activity, active oxygen species scavenging activity, and antihypertensive activity were also evaluated.Methods: Chemical analysis, colour measurement, and sensory evaluation of new everbearing strawberry cultivar, ‘Summertiara’ berries were performed. Next, the solubility of anthocyanins from the berries and stability of these against pH, temperature, and an incandescent lighting were investigated. Moreover, functional properties of the extracts prepared from berries were elucidated using 5 different methods.Results: The contents of water, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and ash were the same as those of other cultivar berries. The sugar-acid ratio in the berries was low; these were acidulous. By sensory evaluation, the main factors were vivid red colour, aroma, and acidity. The berries were rich in phenols, flavonoids, vitamin C, and anthocyanins. The anthocyanins of the berries became unstable by heat treatment and light exposures such as visible rays. On the other hand, the extracts prepared from the berries showed the functionalities such as antioxidant activity, active oxygen species scavenging activities, and antihypertensive activity.  Conclusions: The strawberry cultivar, ‘Summertiara’ berries were the most suitable for processing ingredient of strawberry-derived products with superior health promoting functionalities.Keywords: Summertiara, everbearing strawberry cultivar, characterization, sensory evaluation, color and storage, functional property
