AB  - In this study, levan from Bacillus licheniformis NS032 was modified in an aqueous medium by octenyl succinic
anhydride (OSA), and the properties of the obtained derivatives were studied. The maximum efficiency in the
synthesis reaction was achieved at 40 ◦C and a polysaccharide slurry concentration of 30 %. Increasing the
reagent concentration (2–10 %) led to an increase in the degree of substitution (0.016–0.048). Structures of
derivatives were confirmed by FTIR and NMR. Scanning electronic microscopy, thermogravimetry, and dynamic
light scattering analyses showed that the derivatives with degrees of substitution of 0.025 and 0.036 retained
levan’s porous structure and thermostability and showed better colloidal stability than the native polysaccharide.
The intrinsic viscosity of derivatives increased upon modification, while the surface tension of the 1 % solution
was lowered to 61 mN/m. Oil-in-water emulsions prepared with sunflower oil (10 % and 20 %) by mechanical
homogenization and 2 and 10 % derivatives in the continuous phase showed mean oil droplet sizes of 106–195
μm, while the distribution curves exhibited bimodal character. The studied derivatives have a good capacity to
stabilize emulsions, as they have a creaming index ranging from 73 % to 94 %. The OSA-modified levans could
have potential applications in new formulations of emulsion-based systems.

AB  - The aim of this study was to find the chemical parameters for the differentiation of plum cultivars grown along the fjord areas of Western Norway and Eastern Norway, having specific agroclimatic conditions. Chemical analysis of the fruits confirmed the contents of 13 quantified elements, 22 sugar compounds, 11 organic acids, 19 phenolic compounds, and antioxidant activity in 68 plum cultivars. Dominated contents were noted for nitrogen (with the maximum mean value of 3.11%), potassium (8055.80 mg/kg), and phosphorous (7878.88 mg/kg). Averagely, the highest level of sugars was determined for glucose (244.46 g/kg), fructose (197.92 g/kg), sucrose (208.25 g/kg), and sorbitol (98.02 g/kg), organic acids for malic acid (24.06 g/kg), and for polyphenol compounds were 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid (66.31 mg/kg), and rutin (58.06 mg/kg). Applied principal component analysis has been useful for distinguishing the plum cultivars from three areas in Norway where copper, iron, potassium, magnesium, manganese, and sodium; sucrose, ribose, maltose, and raffinose; p-hydroxybenzoic acid, rutin, ferulic acid, kaempferol 7-O-glucoside, p-coumaric acid, and 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid were the most influential. In regard to human health and future breeding work that will have the aim to produce functional food with high health-related compounds, the plum cultivar ‘Mallard’ should be underlined due to the high level of elements, ‘Valor’ due to high sugar content, ‘Helgøyplomme’ due to content of organic acids, and ‘Diamond’ due to the content of phenolic compounds. © 2023 by the authors.

AB  - As byproducts of essential oil distillation, hydrolates are used in natural cosmetics/biomedicine due to their beneficial skin effects. However, data on their safety with relevant biological targets, such as human skin cells, are scarce. Therefore, we have tested nine hydrolates from the Lamiaceae family with skin fibroblasts that are responsible for extracellular collagenous matrix builds. Thyme, oregano, and winter savoury hydrolates showed several times higher total phenolics, which correlated strongly with their radical scavenging and antioxidative capacity; there was no correlation between their viability profiles and the reducing sugar levels. No proteins/peptides were detected. All hydrolates appeared safe for prolonged skin exposure except for 10-fold diluted lavender, which showed cytotoxicity (~20%), as well as rosemary and lavandin (~10%) using viability, DNA synthesis, and cell count testing. Clary sage, oregano, lemon balm, and thyme hydrolates (10-fold diluted) increased fibroblast viability and/or proliferation by 10–30% compared with the control, while their viability remained unaffected by Mentha and winter savoury. In line with the STITCH database, increased viability could be attributed to thymol presence in oregano and thyme hydrolates in lemon balm, which is most likely attributable to neral and geranial. The proliferative effect of clary sage could be supported by alpha-terpineol, not linalool. The major volatile organic compounds (VOCs) associated with cytotoxic effects on fibroblasts were borneol, 1,8-cineole, and terpinene-4-ol. Further research with pure compounds is warranted to confirm the roles of VOCs in the observed effects that are relevant to cosmetic and wound healing aspects.

AB  - Ironwort (Sideritis montana L.), mountain germander (Teucrium montanum L.), wall germander (Teucrium chamaedrys L.), and horehound (Marrubium peregrinum L.) are species widely distributedacross Europe and are also found in North Africa and West Asia. Because of their wide distributionthey express significant chemical diversity. For generations, these plants have been used as medicalherbs for treating different aliments. The aim of this paper is to analyze volatile compounds of fourselected species that belong to the subfamily Lamioideae, family Lamiaceae, and inspect scientificallyproven biological activities and potential uses in modern phytotherapy in relation to traditionalmedicine. Therefore, in this research, we analyze the volatile compounds from this plants, obtainedin laboratory by a Clevenger-type apparatus, followed by liquid–liquid extraction with hexane as thesolvent. The identification of volatile compounds is conducted by GC-FID and GC-MS. Althoughthese plants are poor in essential oil, the most abundant class of volatile components are mainlysesquiterpenes: germacrene D (22.6%) in ironwort, 7-epi-trans-sesquisabinene hydrate (15.8%) inmountain germander, germacrene D (31.8%) and trans-caryophyllene (19.7%) in wall germander, andtrans-caryophyllene (32.4%) and trans-thujone (25.1%) in horehound. Furthermore, many studiesshow that, in addition to the essential oil, these plants contain phenols, flavonoids, diterpenes andditerpenoids, iridoids and their glycosides, coumarins, terpenes, and sterols, among other activecompounds, which affect biological activities. The other goal of this study is to review the literaturethat describes the traditional use of these plants in folk medicine in regions where they grow spontaneously and compare them with scientifically confirmed activities. Therefore, a bibliographic searchis conducted on Science Direct, PubMed, and Google Scholar to gather information related to thetopic and recommend potential applications in modern phytotherapy. In conclusion, we can say thatselected plants could be used as natural agents for promoting health, as a source of raw materialin the food industry, and as supplements, as well as in the pharmaceutical industry for developingplant-based remedies for prevention and treatment of many diseases, especially cancer.

AB  - The main objective of this study is to determine the possibility of predicting the impact of land use and soil type on concentrations of heavy metals (HMs) and phthalates (PAEs) in soil based on an artificial neural network model (ANN). Qualitative analysis of HMs was performed with inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP/OES) and Direct Mercury Analyzer. Determination of PAEs was performed with gas chromatography (GC) coupled with a single quadrupole mass spectrometry (MS). An ANN, based on the Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) iterative algorithm, for the prediction of HM and PAE concentrations, based on land use and soil type parameters, showed good prediction capabilities (the coefficient of determination (r(2)) values during the training cycle for HM concentration variables were 0.895, 0.927, 0.885, 0.813, 0.883, 0.917, 0.931, and 0.883, respectively, and for PAEs, the concentration variables were 0.950, 0.974, 0.958, 0.974, and 0.943, respectively). The results of this study indicate that HM and PAE concentrations, based on land use and soil type, can be predicted using ANN.

AB  - This research investigated a Balkan endemic species, Achillea clypeolata, collected from two locations (Dobrostan and Ivaylovgrad) in Bulgaria and two locations (Ozren and Rtanj) in Serbia. The goal was to compare the essential oil (EO) of A. clypeolata from these four localities. The EO was isolated from dry aboveground plant parts by hydrodistillation, and the identification of the EO constituents was carried out by GC-MS analyses. Principal Component Analysis (PCA), correlation analysis, and an unrooted cluster tree were used to define distinctions in the presence of volatile compounds in A. clypeolata EO. Results showed that A. clypeolata of Serbian origin (Ozren and Rtanj) contained 1,8-cineole as the main constituent, and belonged to the previously described 1,8-cineole as a dominant compound in the EO profile. On the other hand, the results from Bulgaria show an evident chemical diversification within the A. clypeolata species, as 1,8-cineole (23.2%), camphor (5.0%) and borneol (8.9%) prevailed in the EO of the studied samples collected from Ivaylovgrad, while borneol (22.6%), β-eudesmol (12.7%) and elemol (7.8%) were the main ones in the EO from Dobrostan. In sillico analysis revealed the high anti-inflammatory potential of A. clypeolata, which may be highly diverse depending on the population and active compounds it contains.

AB  - ZnFe photocatalysts have been increasingly
investigated for water remediation due to the high demands
in this field, such as activity, toxicity, cost, and stability. The
presented study was focused on the simple, safe, non-toxic,
and eco-friendly synthesis and characterization of ZnFe-mixed
metal oxides in correlation with their functional properties.
Photocatalytic performance of these materials was evaluated
by rhodamine B photodegradation under simulated
solar light irradiation. The synthesized mixed oxides contained
hexagonal wurtzite ZnO as the predominant phase,
whereas, after thermal treatment, the formation of the
spinel-structured ZnFe2O4 phase was observed. The photocatalysts
with the additional spinel phase and thermally
treated at 300°C and 500°C exhibited superior photocatalytic
activity probably due to the highest amount of the
ZnFe2O4 spinel phase, favourable mesoporous structure,
and an optimal energy band gap of ∼2.30 eV that initiated
higher light-harvesting efficiency. The rhodamine B photodegradation
followed zero-order kinetics, indicating complete
coverage of active sites by the pollutant substrate.
Additionally, photocatalysts showed the highest efficiency
at the natural pH (6.8), being in accordance with green
synthesis principles. Simple, green route assembling synthesis
method, high photodegradation efficiency, and good
reusability make these ZnFe-mixed oxides great candidates
for potential application in practical wastewater treatments.

AB  - Background and Aims: In the global distribution of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) forests play a key role due to the forest canopy effect. In this study, mountain beech forests were selected to identify the level and distribution of selected POPs. 
Methods: Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were analyzed by capillary gas chromatography with an electron capture detector (GC–ECD). Analysis of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) was performed by gas chromatography with a mass spectrometry detector (GC–MS). The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were analyzed by liquid chromatography with a diode array detector (HPLC–DAD).
Results: The total ∑20OCP concentrations in the soil from mountain beech forests at a depth of 0 – 40 cm ranged from 24.46 μg kg −1 to 331.11 μg kg −1, and at a depth of 40 – 80 cm from 15.80 μg kg−1 to 247.12 μg kg −1. The mass concentration for ∑ 6PCB ranges from 9.21 to 95.28 μg kg−1 in the surface soil layer and from 8.07 to 66.56 μg kg −1 in the soil sub.layer. The total concentration of ∑7PBDE congeners measured in soil samples from mountain beech forests
across Europe was from 1.38 to 29.68 μg kg−1 in the surface soil layer and from 1.01 to 53.31 μg kg−1 in the soil sublayer. The total concentration of ∑ 16PAH varied from 271.52 to 1154.52 μg kg−1 in the surface soil layer and from 318.95 to 1052.54 μg kg −1 in the soil sublayer.
Conclusion: The results of this study can serve as an important basis for international, national, and regional measures of environmental protection of beech forests from POPs pollution.

AB  - The main challenge in controlling the microbiological contamination of historical paper is
finding an adequate method that includes the use of cost-effective, harmless, and non-toxic biocides
whose effectiveness is maintained over time and without adverse effects on cultural heritage and
human health. Therefore, this study demonstrated the possibility of using a non-invasive method
of historical paper conservation based on plant essential oils (EOs) application. Evaluation of antimicrobial
effects of different EOs (lemongrass, oregano, rosemary, peppermint, and eucalyptus)
was conducted against Cladosporium cladosporoides, Aspergillus fumigatus, and Penicillium chrysogenum,
which are commonly found on archive papers. Using a mixture of oregano, lemongrass and peppermint
in ratio 1:1:1, the lower minimal inhibition concentration (0.78%) and better efficiency during
a vapour test at the highest tested distance (5.5 cm) compared with individual EOs was proven.
At the final step, this EOs mixture was used in the in situ conservation of historical paper samples
obtained from the Archives of Vojvodina. According to the SEM imaging, the applied EOs mixture
demonstrates complete efficiency in the inhibition of fungi colonization of archive papers, since
fungal growth was not observed on samples, unlike the control samples.

AB  - Unlike other studies that only determined the chemical composition of essential oils depending on their geographic origin, this research investigated the effect of weather conditions (temperature, precipitation, and insolation) on the chemical composition of Nepeta nuda L. essential oil. The collection of wild-growing N. nuda was carried out during three successive years, 2019, 2020, and 2021 at Rtanj Mountain (Serbia) on the same date (July 7th). Essential oil extraction from the plant was performed by hydro-distillation. After gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis, a total of 102 volatile compounds were separated from N. nuda, during the observed period, 28 were unidentified, compromising between 5.0% and 8.7%, depending on the year. A multiple linear regression model was created, and statistical analyses were performed to provide knowledge about the prediction, feature profile, and the similarity in contents of active compounds of the N. nuda essential oil. The influence of temperature on the accumulation of the most abundant component, 1,8-cineole, was positive, while the impact of precipitation and insolation was negative. According to the cluster tree, there are four chemotypes of N. nuda essential oil: with nepetalactone, 1,8-cineole, mixed (nepetalactone+1,8-cineole+germacrene D), and nonspecific chemotypes. Bearing in mind that the biological activity of a raw material depends on the chemotype and environmental factors, this is a topic that deserves a more detailed approach. The N. nuda and its essential oil are promising materials with high biological potential, and these deserve further detailed investigation.

AB  - Lavandula sp. essential oil and hydrolate are commercially valuable in various industry
branches with the potential for wide-ranging applications. This study aimed to evaluate the quality
of these products obtained from L. x intermedia cv. ‘Budrovka’ for the first time cultivated on Fruška
Gora Mt. (Serbia) during three successive seasons (2019, 2020, and 2021). Essential oil extraction
was obtained by steam distillation, and the composition and influence of weather conditions were
also assessed, using flowering tops. The obtained essential oils and hydrolates were analysed by
gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and gas chromatography coupled to
mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A linear regression model was developed to predict L. x intermedia cv.
‘Budrovka’ essential oil volatile compound content and hydrolate composition during three years,
according to temperature and precipitation data, and the appropriate regression coefficients were
calculated, while the correlation analysis was employed to analyse the correlations in hydrolate
and essential oil compounds. To completely describe the structure of the research data that would
present a better insight into the similarities and differences among the diverse L. x intermedia cv.
‘Budrovka’ samples, the PCA was used. The most dominant in L. intermedia cv. ‘Budrovka’ essential
oil and hydrolate were oxygenated monoterpenes: linalool, 1,8-cineole, borneol, linalyl acetate, and
terpinene-4-ol. It is established that the temperature was positively correlated with all essential oil
and hydrolate compounds. The precipitations were positively correlated with the main compounds
(linalool, 1,8-cineole, and borneol), while the other compounds’ content negatively correlated to
precipitation. The results indicated that Fruška Gora Mt. has suitable agro-ecological requirements
for cultivating Lavandula sp. and providing satisfactory essential oil and hydrolate.

also assessed, using flowering tops. The obtained essential oils and hydrolates were analysed by
gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and gas chromatography coupled to
mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A linear regression model was developed to predict L. x intermedia cv.
‘Budrovka’ essential oil volatile compound content and hydrolate composition during three years,
according to temperature and precipitation data, and the appropriate regression coefficients were
calculated, while the correlation analysis was employed to analyse the correlations in hydrolate
and essential oil compounds. To completely describe the structure of the research data that would
present a better insight into the similarities and differences among the diverse L. x intermedia cv.
‘Budrovka’ samples, the PCA was used. The most dominant in L. intermedia cv. ‘Budrovka’ essential
oil and hydrolate were oxygenated monoterpenes: linalool, 1,8-cineole, borneol, linalyl acetate, and
terpinene-4-ol. It is established that the temperature was positively correlated with all essential oil
and hydrolate compounds. The precipitations were positively correlated with the main compounds
(linalool, 1,8-cineole, and borneol), while the other compounds’ content negatively correlated to
precipitation. The results indicated that Fruška Gora Mt. has suitable agro-ecological requirements
for cultivating Lavandula sp. and providing satisfactory essential oil and hydrolate.",

AB  - This study aimed to investigate the chemical composition of steam distillate essential oil and corresponding hydrolate obtained from S. officinalis grown in Serbia, as well as the influence of weather conditions (temperature and precipitations) on their chemical profiles. Furthermore, their antimicrobial activity was investigated in vitro. The main compounds in essential oil were cis-thujone, followed by camphor, trans-thujone, and 1,8-cineole, while hydrolate was slightly different from the essential oil, with camphor, cis-thujone, and 1,8-cineole as the main compounds. Among the eight respiratory-associated microorganisms, Klebsiella oxytoca was the most sensitive to the tested EOs (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)/minimal bactericidal/fungicidal concentration (MBC/MFC) were 14.20 and 28.4 μL mL−1, respectively). MIC and MBC values of other tested bacteria ranged between 28.40 and 227.25 μL mL−1 while for Candida albicans MIC/MFC ranged from 28.40/56.81 to 56.81–113.63 μL mL−1. Antibiotic susceptibility patterns for the analyzed eight respiratory-associated microorganisms showed an intermediate level of resistance to commonly used antibiotics such as ampicillin, levofloxacin, and ciprofloxacin. As a preliminary approach to the antimicrobial profiling of the tested EO, the obtained results revealed that the tested samples possess remarkable antibacterial activities and could be used to develop pharmaceutical formulations as an alternative to conventional antibiotic therapy.

AB  - Refinery wastes generated in conventional crude oil refining processes, or in accidental situations, are complex substrates for treatment and disposal. Petroleum desulphurisation catalysts can also be hazardous refinery waste. They contain various metals, such as cobalt, molybdenum, nickel and tungsten. In this paper, three petroleum refiner’s spent desulphurisation catalysts were investigated. These catalysts were not suitable for recycling and, therefore, were classified as hazardous waste. They were chemically characterised, including phase composition and their effect on a consortium of microorganisms used in the process of bioremediation. Catalysts contained up to 2.26 g kg−1 of total petroleum hydrocarbons, up to 56.7 g kg−1 of iron, 18.6 g kg−1 of molybdenum, and less than 0.1 mg kg−1 each of cobalt and nickel. These obtained results show that bioremediation of such waste is possible.

AB  - Raspberries are considered valuable fruits due to their high levels of nutrients and phytochemicals, which have many beneficial effects on humans. As many external factors affect the composition of these fruits (the type of cultivation, soil characteristics, ripeness, storage time and post-harvest technologies, cultivar/genotype, and climatic conditions), the goal of this study was to analyze different raspberry cultivars grown in Norway. Considering that Norway is a country with specific climatic conditions, as well as has a limited period of fruit vegetation, another important goal of this study was also to compare raspberries from different Norwegian areas, as well as different grown cultivars. Modern analytical techniques, such as high-performance anion-exchange liquid chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection (HPEAC-PAD), ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detector coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UHPLC-DAD MS/MS), and inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), provided a detailed examination of the raspberry extract samples. Based on their high levels of minerals (especially N, P, and K), organic acids (predominantly citric and malic acids), sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose, and galactose), and polyphenols (ellagic acid, syringic acid, quercetin, and rutin), Norwegian raspberries could be considered fruits with increased health-beneficial compounds. The chemical composition of the studied cultivars depended on the locality of growth.

AB  - Using modern analytical techniques, a comprehensive study of the chemical composition of fruits from apple cultivars grown in Western Norway during 2019 and 2020 was done. Metals, sugars, organic acids, antioxidant tests, and polyphenol content have been observed. In all investigated samples, the most dominant sugars were glucose, fructose, and sucrose. Among 11 tested organic acids, the dominant was malic acid, followed by citric and maleic acid. The most common metal was potassium, followed by magnesium and zinc. The quantification of polyphenols showed that among the 11 quantified polyphenols, chlorogenic acid, quercetin 3-O-rhamnoside, quercetin 3-O-glucoside, quercetin, and phlorizin were the most abundant. A detailed study of the polyphenolic profile of nine investigated apple samples provided 30 identified polyphenolic compounds from the class of hydroxybenzoic and hydroxycinnamic acids, flavonoids, and dihydrochalcones. In addition to the identified 3-O-caffeoylquinic acid, its two isomers of 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid and three esters were also found. Present polyphenols of the tested apples provided significant data on the quality of Norwegian apples, and they contribute to the distinguishing of these apple samples.

AB  - The osmotic dehydration (OD) of celery root in sugar beet molasses was studied at three temperatures (20, 35, and 50 °C) and three immersion periods (1, 3, and 5 h) in order to examine the changes in antioxidant potential and phenolic profile of celery root throughout the process. The antioxidant capacity (AOC) of dehydrated samples was evaluated by spectrophotometric and polarographic assays, the total phenolic content by the Folin-Ciocalteu method, and the individual phenolic compounds by HPLC-DAD. As a result of OD in molasses, the AOC and phenols content in samples increased proportionally to the augmentation of temperature and the immersion time. Vanillic acid, syringic acid, and catechin were detected in dehydrated samples as a result of transfer from molasses. Compared to fresh celery root, the content of identified phenols in osmodehydrated samples was improved from 1.5 to 6.2 times. Strong correlations between applied assays were obtained, except for the DPPH. Based on the correlation analysis chlorogenic acid, gallic acid, chrysin, catechin, and kaempferol showed the greatest contribution to the overall AOC of osmodehydrated celery root. Molasses, an agro-industrial waste from sugar production, could be valorized as a valuable osmotic solution.

AB  - In this study the ex-situ bioremediation of waste heavy residual oil fuel was examined.
Microbial consortium was isolated from the polluted site at Belgrade Heating Plants (Serbia) and was added to the projected biopile. The nutrients, aeration-periodic mixing was used during process. The biopile was inoculated and biostimulated for 150 days. As a result, the total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) decreased by approximately 80 times. Also, the content of humic acids increased which indicated
the beginning of pedogenesis phase – soil formation (soilification). Level of humic acids during process at the end is higher about 40%. Also, bioremediation microorganisms from the inorganic matrix (river sand) generate clay minerals (content increases by about 50%) which are characteristic of the soil. At the same time, due to the microbial generation of organic acids, the concentration of carbonate
minerals from sand (calcite and dolomite) decreases. All these indicators confirm the efficiency of bioremediation and the simultaneous formation of man-made soil (MMS) as new resource for agriculture, landscaping and reforestation. The obtained soil was used for the stabilization of municipal waste as an overlay at this time. In conclusion: bioremediation that generates some useful geo-material
is a great example of a circular economy that is different from the usual ones (such as aluminum can and paper recycling).

AB  - Essential oil (EO) obtained by hydrodistillation in a Clevenger-type apparatus from aerial parts of Nepeta cataria L. var. citriodora (Becker), cultivated in Serbia was subjected to gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) to determine the composition. Furthermore, N. cataria var. citriodora essential oil was
tested to determine its antimicrobial, antioxidant, antihyperglycemic and anti-inflammatory activities in vitro.
The antimicrobial activity was tested by broth microdilution method against 16 bacterial strains from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). Four common tests for measuring in vitro antioxidant activity were used: 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay (DPPH), reducing power (RP), 2,2-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-
6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) and β-carotene bleaching assay (BCB). Antihyperglycemic activity was examined by using α-glucosidase inhibitory potential (AHgA), while anti-inflammatory activity (AIA) was determined by protein denaturation bioassay, using egg albumin. In total, 36 compounds were isolated and detected by GC-MS technique in N. cataria var. citriodora EO. The EO is mainly comprised of oxygenated monoterpenes (93.1%), and the main compounds were two monoterpenoid alcohols, nerol (38.5%) and geraniol (24.9%), followed by two aliphatic aldehyde, geranial (14.6%) and neral (11.0%). Antimicrobial activity of this EO shows growth inhibition of all tested bacteria strains, and exhibited good antioxidant, antihyperglycemic and anti-inflammatory activities. The EO obtained from N. cataria var. citriodora grown in Serbia shows valuable biological activity, indicating its potential for use as a supplement in everyday diet and as a natural preservative in food industry.

AB  - Garden rose, Rosa hybrida, is primarily used for decoration and has a wide range of growing
area, contrary to R. damascena that has a limited area of distribution (Turkey and Bulgaria), yet it is
extensively used for commercial production of valuable and expensive rose oil. Since the content of
essential oil in rose petals is low (0.03–0.04%), its production is quite limited; however, during this
process, a significant amount of rose hydrosol is obtained as a secondary product. The aim of this
research was to determine the chemical composition of garden rose hydrosols and to evaluate their
biological properties. Obtained results show that R. hybrida hydrosol containing phenylethyl alcohol,
nerol, linalool, and geraniol may be used as an alternative for R. damascena hydrosol. However, the
total phenolic content was quite low (4.96 _g GAE/mL), which is related to a low level of observed
antioxidant activity based on different antioxidant activity assays. Furthermore, R. hybrida hydrosol
did not exhibit antimicrobial activity against several gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as
well as yeast and fungi. Anti-inflammatory activity was also low, while no antihyperglycemic activity
was detected. With these results in mind, no potential is evident for the therapeutic application of
rose hydrosol beyond that found in complimentary medicine such as aromatherapy.

AB  - Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) is a plant worldwide cultivated mainly for essential oils, extracts, and as a spice. Up-to-date results showed diversity in composition of the essential oils, which may influence their quality, biological activity, and thermal properties. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the chemical composition, antimicrobial activity, and thermal properties of the rosemary essential oils originating from Serbia and Russia. Additionally, oils were added to the sunflower oils in order to investigate possible antioxidant activity during the frying. Investigation of the chemical profile marked α-pinene, eucalyptol, and camphor as the most abundant compounds in both oils. However, overall composition influenced in such manner that Russian oil showed significantly higher antimicrobial activity, while Serbian oil proved to be better antioxidant agent in case of frying of sunflower oil. This would significantly influence possible application of the oils, which could be used as an antioxidant agent for extension of the food shelf life, or antimicrobial agent for protection against different microbial strains.

AB  - Microplastics are microscopic pieces (<5 mm) of plastic materials that can be found at
every corner of our planet. Two ways of their release into the environment can be discerned: primary and secondary microplastics. While primary microplastics are released
directly into the environment as small particles, secondary microplastics are obtained by
breaking down from larger plastic items. Contamination of water and soil with microplastics transfers up the food chain, ends up in organisms and affects nature by changing
its biodiversity. EU legislative has restricted intentionally added microplastics in cosmetic products and issued stricter norms for products that usually release microplastics.
The use of certain single-use plastics is banned, use of lightweight plastics bags restricted, and the producers must cover up expenses for disposal of discarded plastic
packages. We are aware that a complete ban on plastics is not feasible. Nevertheless, it
is essential to notify of microplastics existence and its entire lifecycle. Labelling of
products that contain microplastics can be one of the ways to raise awareness. Informing
consumers about the composition of goods they are using, allows them to make more
conscious and responsible choices, both for themselves and the environment. There are
already some labels for microplastics, but they can be misleading since, if there are no
primary microplastics in the product, it does not mean that this product cannot affect
pollution as secondary microplastics. Therefore, we propose an extensive labelling system, which discerns between goods and packages, as well as between the primary and
secondary microplastics

AB  - Microplastics have reached all corners of our planet, including soil and water. Plastic-degrading bacteria are seen as a promising, environmentally friendly tool for the bioremediation of soil polluted with microplastics. The petroleum origin of plastics makes them candidates for bioremediation analogous to the bioremediation of soil polluted with oil and its derivatives. A mud pit,
located near the village of Turija, used for mud formation for the lubrication of drill pipes for drilling rigs, ended up polluted with
oil and its derivatives. It was bioremediated using the in situ procedure. The content of n-hexane extractable substance, total
petroleum hydrocarbon, dry substance, and loss on ignition were analyzed.

abstract = "Microplastics have reached all corners of our planet, including soil and water. Plastic-degrading bacteria are seen as a promising, environmentally friendly tool for the bioremediation of soil polluted with microplastics. The petroleum origin of plastics makes them candidates for bioremediation analogous to the bioremediation of soil polluted with oil and its derivatives. A mud pit,
located near the village of Turija, used for mud formation for the lubrication of drill pipes for drilling rigs, ended up polluted with
oil and its derivatives. It was bioremediated using the in situ procedure. The content of n-hexane extractable substance, total
petroleum hydrocarbon, dry substance, and loss on ignition were analyzed., Микропластика се може наћи у сваком кутку наше планете, укључујући земљиште и водене површине.

AB  - Microplastics have captured the attention of the scientific community in the last decade. Due to small dimensions and low density, they can easily reach all parts of the Earth. Lately, the attention is shifted towards the health effects, and the pathways of entering into the human organism. The only way to prevent microplastics from entering the food chain is to respect the principles of circular economy. There are many different types of microplastic particles regarding the polymer from which they are obtained. In order to analyse the origin of microplastic particles, firstly it is necessary to isolate them, and then identify them. Some of the methods for identifying microplastics are Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, pyrolytic 
gas chromatography - mass spectroscopy, of which FTIR and RAMAN are non-destructive methods. This paper investigates beads of 9 most commonly used commercial polymers in their virgin form. FTIR analysis was performed, and the obtained results of known polymers were compared with the device database. The degree of matching with the found polymer was determined. The obtained results were validated in relation to the declared polymers. Based on the obtained results, instructions are given for further interpretation of FTIR results during the identification of microplastics, as well as suggestions for future research.

AB  - There is no part of the planet that has not been contaminated with microplastics. The impact of microplastics on humans is still being investigated. But it has been proven that it is taken into the body through the food chain. Microplastics have so far been found in a number of foods for human consumption. In addition, it causes changes in biodiversity. The rivers of Serbia flow into three sea basins, which directly affects the pollution of those seas. Therefore, it is important for Serbia to get involved in the fight against microplastics. EU legislation has recognized the problem of 
 microplastics. Although Serbia harmonizes laws and regulations with the regulations of the European Union (EU), no law or other regulation considers microplastics as a pollutant. Since microplastics is a global problem, in order to solve it, it is necessary to join forces, and by joint action of the Government, the scientific community, individuals, but mostly of the companies themselves, to take action.
