A winery-Scale Trial of the use of antimicrobial plant phenolic extracts as preservatives during wine ageing in barrels
Food Control, 2013Co-Authors: E. González-rompinelli, Juan José Rodríguez-bencomo, Almudena García-ruiz, Fernando Sánchez-patán, Pedro J. Martín-Álvarez, Begoña Bartolomé, M. Victoria Moreno-arribasAbstract:Antimicrobial plant extracts rich in polyphenols have recently been proposed as a total or partial alternative to sulfites during winemaking. This paper reports a first winery-Scale Trial of the addition of antimicrobial plant extracts during wine ageing in wood. Before being distributed in oak barrels, a Verdejo wine was treated with either a SO2 regular dose (160 mg/L) or with a SO2 half-dose (80 mg/L), together with two phenolic-rich extracts from eucalyptus leaves and almond skins (100 mg/L). Some of the wine was also stored in a stainless steel tank for comparison. After 6 months of ageing, the wine treated with the phenolic extracts remained microbiologically stable and showed correct enological parameters. Also, the volatile and phenolic composition of the wine was specifically determined to ascertain whether the addition of these phenolic extracts would affect the organoleptic properties of the wine. Although the addition of both eucalyptus and almond extracts led to statistically significant changes (p < 0.05) in the concentration of several esters, C13 norisoprenoids, volatile phenols and furanic compounds in the wine, only the concentration of some of these compounds was higher than their odor threshold. With regard to phenolics, addition of both extracts did not significantly modify their content, except for a lower content of hydroxycinnamic acids and esters and flavan-3-ols, which predicts minor changes in wine astringency. As seen from a PCA analysis of all volatile and phenolic data, wines were mainly differentiated by the ageing process itself, by the addition of extracts, and even by the barrel used. Finally, a triangle test showed no significant differences in the global sensory appreciation between wines treated and not treated with the antimicrobial phenolic extracts. These results demonstrated the potential applicability of phenolic extracts as a partial alternative to sulfur dioxide during the ageing of white wines in oak barrels.

Small Scale Trial of photodynamic treatment of onychomycosis in São Paulo.
Journal of photochemistry and photobiology. B Biology, 2015Co-Authors: João Paulo Tardivo, Mark Wainwright, Mauricio S. BaptistaAbstract:The use of methylene blue and toluidine blue in the photodynamic treatment of onychomycosis at an ambulatory clinic in Sao Paulo, Brazil is reported. Local application and illumination of infected nails produced a response in 53 of 62 patients, without any pain or burning associated with the therapy.

innovative approaches to weight loss in a high risk population the small changes and lasting effects Scale Trial
Obesity, 2017Co-Authors: Erica Phillips, Ginger Winston, Janey C Peterson, Brian Wansink, Carol M Devine, Elaine Wethington, Martin T Wells, Rosio Ramos, Mary E CharlsonAbstract:Objective To evaluate the efficacy of a small change behavioral weight loss intervention with or without a positive affect/self-affirmation (PA/SA) component on weight loss at 12 months. Methods Black and Hispanic adults (N = 405) with body mass index 25-50 kg/m2 selected one of ten small change eating strategies and a physical activity goal, randomly with/without PA/SA. Participants were followed by community health workers at set intervals (weekly in months 1-3; biweekly in months 4-9; once monthly in months 10-12). Results There was no difference in weight loss at 12 months between participants in the small change approach alone (1.1%) versus the small change PA/SA intervention (1.2%). During treatment, 9% of participants lost at least 7% of their initial body weight. Participants who reported more interval life events had a lower likelihood of losing weight (P < 0.0001). However, those randomized to the small change PA/SA intervention gained less weight (+0.3% vs. 2.3% gain; P < 0.0001). Conclusions The small change PA/SA intervention did not lead to a significant difference in weight loss in comparison to the small change approach alone. It did, however, decrease the negative impact of psychosocial stressors on weight gain among participants with more interval life events.

Contemporary Clinical Trials, 2015Co-Authors: Erica Phillipscaesar, Ginger Winston, Janey C Peterson, Brian Wansink, Carol M Devine, Balavanketsh Kanna, Walid Michelin, Elaine Wethington, Martin T Wells, James P HollenbergAbstract:Background Obesity is a major health problem that disproportionately affects Black and Hispanic adults. This paper presents the rationale and innovative design of a small change eating and physical activity intervention (SC) combined with a positive affect and self-affirmation (PA/SA) intervention versus the SC intervention alone for weight loss.
