AITC has sparked widespread interest due to its various biological actions, which include strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anticancer capabilities. This compound offers promising potential in several fields, particularly in food preservation, medicine, and enhancing food quality through natural means. AITC’s effectiveness against a broad spectrum of microorganisms, including foodborne pathogens and spoilage agents, makes it an attractive natural alternative to synthetic preservatives. The potential to extend the shelf life of perishable foods makes AITC an important tool for food production, meeting rising customer demand for natural additives. In addition to its antimicrobial effects, AITC demonstrates significant anti-inflammatory activity, reducing levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and modulating key signaling pathways, which could make it valuable in managing chronic inflammatory conditions. Furthermore, emerging research highlights its potential in cancer prevention and treatment, as AITC has been demonstrated to induce apoptosis and inhibit cell increase in several cancer cell lines, offering a natural approach to chemoprevention. This review delves into the chemical structure, metabolism, and bioavailability of freshly produced AITC, providing a comprehensive overview of its beneficial properties. Challenges related to AITC’s volatility, dosage optimization, and regulatory considerations are also discussed, alongside future research directions to enhance the stability and efficacy of AITC-based formulations. The findings underscore AITC’s role as a versatile bioactive compound with known potential to support human health and the sustainable food industry.}, year = {2025}, eissn = {2304-8158}, pages = {579}, orcid-numbers = {Nguyen Huu Huong, Duyen/0000-0002-8450-2272; Oláh, Csaba Zsolt/0000-0001-9598-9322} } @article{MTMT:36330249, title = {Heavy Metal Concentrations in Debrecen’s Urban Soils: Implications for Upcoming Industrial Projects}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/36330249}, author = {Fehér, Zsolt Zoltán and Magyar, Tamás and Tóth, Florence Alexandra and Nagy, Péter Tamás}, doi = {10.3390/soilsystems9030097}, journal-iso = {SOIL SYST}, journal = {SOIL SYSTEMS}, volume = {9}, unique-id = {36330249}, issn = {2571-8789}, abstract = {Monitoring the concentration of heavy metals in urban soils is of a paramount importance for several reasons. These inorganic pollutants can pose a significant health risk to living organisms, as they are toxic even at low concentrations and can be present in the soil for a long period of time. This study assesses the spatial distribution, concentration levels, and potential anthropogenic and natural sources of eight typical heavy metals (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) occurring in urban surface soils across Debrecen, Hungary. A total of 295 topsoil samples were collected; heavy metal concentrations were determined by energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometry. The results were interpreted using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, hierarchical clustering, factor analysis, ordinary kriging interpolation, and spatial-discriminant analysis. The dual origin of the metal contaminants was revealed: As, Co, Pb, and Zn showed strong anthropogenic signatures associated with traffic, urban waste, and construction materials, whereas Cr and Ni were associated with natural geogenic sources. Cd reflected both lithogenic and point-source urban pollution. The current evaluation incorporated Hungarian and Dutch regulatory benchmarks to identify exceedances of environmental quality thresholds. It was found that only Cd and Cr exceeded the Hungarian target values, on average. Linear discriminant analysis based on pollution maps highlighted contamination hotspots around traffic corridors and newly industrialized zones. The importance of high-resolution soil monitoring in the rapidly urbanizing city is highlighted. Given its anticipated industrial and transportation developments, accumulations of heavy metals are probably going to be further exacerbated; therefore, the results provide a critical baseline for future environmental assessments and long-term monitoring.}, year = {2025}, eissn = {2571-8789}, orcid-numbers = {Magyar, Tamás/0000-0002-3973-6053} } @article{MTMT:35813458, title = {Innovatív tápanyag- és vízmegőrzési technikák alkalmazása kertészetben}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/35813458}, author = {Nagy, Péter Tamás}, journal-iso = {MEZŐHÍR}, journal = {MEZŐHÍR: ORSZÁGOS AGRÁRINFORMÁCIÓS SZAKLAP}, volume = {29}, unique-id = {35813458}, issn = {1587-060X}, year = {2025}, eissn = {2060-4548}, pages = {66-69} } @CONFERENCE{MTMT:36064103, title = {Investigation of the effects of poultry manure-based nutrient substitutes on soil inorganic nitrogen forms in a soil incubation experiment}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/36064103}, author = {Nagy, Péter Tamás and Magyar, Tamás and Tóth, Florence Alexandra}, booktitle = {EGU General Assembly 2025}, doi = {10.5194/egusphere-egu25-6506}, unique-id = {36064103}, year = {2025}, orcid-numbers = {Magyar, Tamás/0000-0002-3973-6053} } @CONFERENCE{MTMT:36336557, title = {Investigation of Heavy Metal Soil Pollution of Different Debrecen Soils in a Model Soil Column Experiment}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/36336557}, author = {Nagy, Péter Tamás and Magyar, Tamás and Fehér, Zsolt Zoltán and Tamás, János and Tóth, Florence Alexandra}, booktitle = {Advancing Soil Knowledge for a Sustainable Future: Book of Abstracts of the Communications presented to the VII EUROSOIL Meeting}, unique-id = {36336557}, year = {2025}, pages = {978}, orcid-numbers = {Magyar, Tamás/0000-0002-3973-6053; Tamás, János/0000-0002-9893-6725} } @article{MTMT:36893142, title = {Szerves kompozit termékek alkalmazhatóságának vizsgálata almaültetvény tápanyagpótlásában}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/36893142}, author = {Nagy, Péter Tamás and Magyar, Tamás and Tóth, Florence Alexandra}, journal-iso = {TALAJVÉDELEM}, journal = {TALAJVÉDELEM}, unique-id = {36893142}, issn = {1216-9560}, year = {2025}, eissn = {2732-3080}, pages = {64-77}, orcid-numbers = {Magyar, Tamás/0000-0002-3973-6053} } @CONFERENCE{MTMT:36134156, title = {Impact of intense rainfall event on the physicochemical and microbiological characteristics of an urban stream}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/36134156}, author = {Kun, Sándor and Boczonádi, Imre and Nagy, Péter Tamás and Szabó, Andrea and Tóth, Florence Alexandra and Fehér, Zsolt Zoltán and Magyar, Tamás and Lili, Adrienn Madar and István, Szűcs and Tamás, János and Nagy, Attila}, booktitle = {EGU General Assembly 2025}, doi = {10.5194/egusphere-egu25-19738}, unique-id = {36134156}, year = {2025}, orcid-numbers = {Szabó, Andrea/0000-0002-6782-6793; Magyar, Tamás/0000-0002-3973-6053; Tamás, János/0000-0002-9893-6725; Nagy, Attila/0000-0003-1220-8231} } @CONFERENCE{MTMT:36064060, title = {Modelling of Predicted Environmental Concentration of Copper Contaminated Leachate in Sandy Soils using HYDRUS-2D}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/36064060}, author = {Magyar, Tamás and Neha, Neha and Charuni, Sewwandi and Tóth, Florence Alexandra and Nagy, Péter Tamás}, booktitle = {EGU General Assembly 2025}, doi = {10.5194/egusphere-egu25-6496}, unique-id = {36064060}, year = {2025}, orcid-numbers = {Magyar, Tamás/0000-0002-3973-6053} }
