AB  - This study investigates the effects of ultrasound, in combination with chemical pretreatments, on the quality attributes (total phenolic and carotenoid content, antioxidant activity (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay (DPPH)), ferric-reducing ability (FRAP), CIE L* a* b* color, non-enzymatic browning, rehydration ratio, textural and morphological properties) of red pepper subjected to drying (hot air drying or freeze drying). The fractional factorial design was used to assess the impact of factors. The global Derringer desirability function was used to determine the optimal conditions for the best quality attributes of dried pepper. The drying method influenced total phenolic content, a* (redness), and initial rehydration ratio; pretreatment time significantly affected FRAP antiradical activity, a*, chroma and non-browning index, while pH-value had a significant effect on the texture of dried pepper. Non-enzymatic browning was reduced to 72.6%, while the DPPH antioxidant capacity of freeze-dried peppers was enhanced from 4.2% to 71.9%. Ultrasonic pretreatment led to changes in the pepper morphology, while potassium metabisulfite (KMS) was a more effective additive than citric acid.

AB  - Arsenite–humic acid-binding process was investigated using the Isothermal Titration Calorimetry
(ITC). The ITC data were successfully (R2=0.996-0.936) interpreted by applying the MNIS model,
enabling thermodynamic parameters to be determined. The MNIS model was adjusted to the arsenite–
HA binding process assuming hydrogen bonding as the dominant type of interaction in the system.
Negative enthalpy change values indicated the arsenite–HAs binding as an exothermic process.
Negative ΔG values (-(27.85-26.83) kJ mol-1) pointed out to spontaneous binding reaction, leading to
the formation of the arsenite–HA complexes. High binding constants values ((7.57-5.02)105 M-1)
clearly demonstrated pronounced binding affinity. As ΔS values (0.041-0.027) kJ mol-1 K-1) were
apparently positive, but close to zero, and ΔH>ΔS, the reaction could be considered enthalpy driven.
Reaction heats and H values (-(18.96-15.64) kJ mol-1) confirmed hydrogen bonds as the most
ascendant interaction type in the arsenite–HA complex. Thermodynamic and reaction parameters
clearly indicated that arsenite–HA complexes are formed at common soil pH values, confirming the
possible influence of humic acids on increased As mobility, and its reduced bioavailability.

AB  - Humic acids, belonging to the humic substances, are the most reactive organic compounds in water, soil and sediments. They are known for their role in processes related to soil structure, biology, and chemistry, as well as for their effects on the behavior of environmental pollutants. The effects of humic acids on the environment are strongly influenced by their composition and structure. Humic acids are
used in various fields, especially in agriculture, environmental remediation and medicine. Agricultural
fertilizers containing humic acids as additives are often used to improve plant growth and soil fertility.
The content of heavy metals, metalloids, radionuclides and various organic pollutants can be reduced
by adsorption, complexation, and redox processes involving humic acids. Owing to the ability of
humic acids to form composites with inorganic and organic oxides, pollutants are adsorbed and
removed from water. In addition, the composites formed exhibit pronounced antibacterial activity in
water. Various organic pollutants such as pesticides, microplastics and antibiotics can also be
removed from soil and water by adsorption on the composites or humic acids. Various viruses with
positively charged glycoproteins can be bound by the negatively charged humic acids, defining them
as antivirally active. Currently, the humic acids are isolated from various matrices such as coals, peat
and organic wastes. Due to the increasing requirements for the commercial applications of humic
acids, their production and utilization are significantly important and trendy tasks. The humic acid
production with the higher yield is the focus of research today.
