The efficient encapsulation of N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET), an insect-repellent compound, in mineral oil-in-water emulsions was achieved using a tailored combination of surfactants, cationic cellulose, and silica nanoparticles. The combined action of these non-toxic materials as emulsion stabilizers allowed a sustained release of DEET for at least six hours, showing the potential of these formulations for an extended repellent effect. Details are presented in the Article Efficient Encapsulation and Controlled Release of N,N-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) from Oil-in-Water Emulsions Stabilized by Cationic Nanocellulose and Silica Nanoparticles by Luis M. Gutierrez-Beleño, Vincenzo Calabrese, Janet L. Scott, Karen J. Edler and Aurora Pérez-Gramatges on page 13.

After a partial lockdown decree in Rio de Janeiro, reductions in pollutant sources were the main factor explaining lower concentrations of criteria pollutants. Meteorological conditions, similar to previous year, favor pollutant dispersion by sea breeze.

Cariniana estrellensis seedlings are used in forest restoration programs in the Atlantic Forest biome. We used rapid analysis by nuclear magnetic resonance and liquid chromatography coupled to diode array, charged aerosol, and mass detection to provide the first data on secondary metabolism from C. estrellensis. We identified hydrolysable tannins, hydroxycinnamic acids, and flavonoids.
