Cold stabilization is the most common wine operation for wine tartaric stabilization. This operation consists in cooling the wine at temperatures near the wine freezing point [1, 2], to induce potassium bitartrate crystals precipitation. However, this is a slow and costly operation. Electrodialysis is a process that allows the separation of anions and cations according to their electrical charge through a selec...

The pharmacology of synthetic organoselenium compounds indicates that they can be used as antioxidants, enzyme inhibitors, neuroprotectors, anti-tumor and anti-infectious agents, and immunomodulators. In this review, we focus on the effects of diphenyl diselenide (DPDS) in various biological model organisms. DPDS possesses antioxidant activity, confirmed in several in vitro and in vivo systems, and thus has a p...
Diphenyl diselenide (DPDS) is an electrophilic reagent used in the synthesis of a variety of pharmacologically active organoselenium (OS) compounds. The aim of the present study was to investigate the mutagenic effects of three symmetrical derivatives from the prototype DPDS (p-chloride-phenyl-diselenide, p-methyl-phenyl-diselenide and p-methoxy-phenyl-diselenide) in yeast. In summary, the cellular effects of t...
This review covers the past decade of intensive research on the design, synthesis and screening of organoselenides and tellurides as catalyst able to mimic the activity of the selenoenzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPx). This important enzyme forms part of the detoxification system in humans which deals with harmful peroxides and their byproducts formed during oxygen metabolism. Several strategies to enhance the ...
We have developed an efficient method for the synthesis of diorganyl selenides and β-seleno amines using Zn, catalytic amounts of ZnO nanopowder, as a catalyst and ionic liquid as a recyclable solvent. This ZnO/ionic liquid system shows high efficiency in catalyzing these transformations with the formation of the desired products in high yields.
