“…A study conducted in Spain also found high amounts of aluminum (up to 1144 mg/l) in fruit juices (López, Cabrera, Lorenzo, & López, 2002). The presence of aluminum is a strong indicator of acid soils with low fertility (Gerhardsson, Oskarsson, & Skerfving, 1994), characteristic of the region of Tabuleiros Costeiros (Northeast Brazil), where the pulp used in this study came from (Corrêa & Filho, 2001).…”

Yellow mombin (Spondias mombin L.) is a tropical fruit with increasing acceptance in both national and international fruit markets. The aim of this work was to evaluate the centesimal composition, mineral content, total phenolics, antioxidant activity, and characterize the carotenoids of frozen yellow mombin pulp. Results indicated that the yellow mombin pulp contained an important amount of potassium and copper. The antioxidant activity and total phenolic values scored 17.5 mmol TEAC g −1 and 260 mg galic acid/100 g respectively, higher than those reported for other fruits. Five carotenoids were identified, β-cryptoxanthin, lutein, zeinoxanthin, α and β carotene, being β-cryptoxanthin the major one, accounting for the high level of pro-vitamin A activity in the pulp. A 100 g portion of yellow mombin pulp can provide more than 37% of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A.

“…The direct and indirect radiative effects induced by sulfate aerosols have constituted one of the major uncertainties in current assessments of climate change (IPCC, 2013). In addition, deposition of sulfate aerosols exerts deleterious impacts on ecosystems through acidification of soils, lakes, and marshes (e.g., Schindler, 1988;Gerhardsson et al, 1994). Sulfate is also an important contributor to the haze formation and substantially reduces the atmospheric visibility during hazy days (e.g., He et al, 2014;Guo et al, 2014).…”

Abstract. Rapid industrialization and urbanization have caused frequent occurrence of haze in China during wintertime in recent years. The sulfate aerosol is one of the most important components of fine particles (PM 2.5 ) in the atmosphere, contributing significantly to the haze formation. However, the heterogeneous formation mechanism of sulfate remains poorly characterized. The relationships of the observed sulfate with PM 2.5 , iron, and relative humidity in Xi'an, China have been employed to evaluate the mechanism and to develop a parameterization of the sulfate heterogeneous formation involving aerosol water for incorporation into atmospheric chemical transport models. Model simulations with the proposed parameterization can successfully reproduce the observed sulfate rapid growth and diurnal variations in Xi'an and Beijing, China. Reasonable representation of sulfate heterogeneous formation in chemical transport models considerably improves the PM 2.5 simulations, providing the underlying basis for better understanding the haze formation and supporting the design and implementation of emission control strategies.

“…The degree of contamination is influenced by climate, topography, geology, hydrology, and, in some cases, by certain agricultural practices. Moreover, Cd can react with other dissolved constituents and suspended sediments, and acidification of the soil water can mobilize metal deposits (Friberg et al 1985;Gerhardsson et al 1994;Schuhmacher et al 1991). The effect of Cd in surface waters also depends on the physicochemical form of the element, presence of other metals, temperature of the system, season of the year, cation-exchange capacity of adjacent soil, pH, salinity, and biotype.…”
