Abstract:
... A very common preservation method used in food processing is the drying method. Hence it is necessary to properly examine and ascertain how the fruit's quality is affected after drying. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technology is one of the advanced technologies adopted for assessing food quality. This study explored the impact of standard normalization variate (SNV) and Savitsky–Golay (SG) data pre ...

The effect of preparation conditions and different salt ions (Ca²⁺, Na⁺, Mg²⁺) at different concentrations (3, 6, 9, and 12 mM) on the rheological properties of Goji berry gel (G‐GB) was investigated. Increases in the boiling extraction time, solid–liquid ratio, temperature, and redissolve ratio of G‐ ...

Abstract:
... A green and facile hydrothermal synthesis approach is proposed for the preparation of nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) with wolfberry. These N-CQDs were developed as a highly sensitive fluorescent ‘on-off-on’ switch sensor for the sensing of Fe³⁺ and l-ascorbic acid (AA). The N-CQDs displayed superior fluorescence characteristics of CQDs with a quantum yield up to 22%. The N-CQDs were d ...

Abstract:
... The gall mite Aceria pallida and the psyllid Bactericera gobica are serious Goji berry pests. The mite can be phoretic on the psyllid to overwinter, but it is unclear whether the vector can obtain benefits from the phoront during the growing season. After detachment, the mite shares the same habitat with its vector, so there are very likely to be interspecific interactions. To better understand wh ...
