Abstract:
... The formation and growth of ice crystals are widely acknowledged to cause damage to different substances and we found short-clustered maltodextrin (SCMD) could alleviate the quality deterioration of frozen dough in previous research. But how SCMD interacts with dough components such as yeast is poorly understood. Here, we analyze the ice-recrystallization-inhibition (IRI) activity of SCMD and prov ...

Abstract:
... Anthocyanins can be induced by environmental factors such as low- temperature, and play an important role in adapting to abiotic stress. In this study, the leaves of 'Cabernet Gernischt' grapes with different colors under natural low-temperature in autumn were collected and grouped into Green (Gre), Light-red (L-Red), Red (Red), and Dark-red (D-Red). Results showed that the total anthocyanin conte ...
... The inhomogeneity of plastisphere and soil may result in different microbial communities, thus potentially affecting soil functions. Biodegradable plastics offer an alternative to conventional plastics, nevertheless, the inadequate end-of-life treatment of biodegradable plastics may release more microplastics. Herein, we collected PE and PBAT/PLA microplastics in plastic-mulching farmland in Hebei ...
nitrogen metabolism, etc ; livestock; nutrient use efficiency; Reunion; Show all 4 Subjects
Abstract:
... Increasing nutrient circularity and use efficiency is a leading topic in the search for more sustainable agri-food-waste systems (AFWS). This paper proposes a method to assess the role of crops and livestock in nutrient circularity and use efficiency in an AFWS. The method is based on the analysis of nutrient flows, a detailed typology of flows, and a set of 3 groups of indicators to characterize ...

Abstract:
... Mechanical damage caused by vibration during transportation can destroy organization structure and reduce the fruit quality. The objective was to reveal the mechanism of hypobaric treatment on energy metabolism in vibration-injured 'Huangguan' pears based on metabolomics. Results showed that hypobaric treatment delayed the decline of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content, energy charge (EC), H⁺-ATP ...
metabolism, etc ; absorption; arthritis; hyaluronic acid; intestines; probiotics; therapeutics; xerophthalmia; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... Hyaluronic acid (HA) is key to the stability of the internal environment of tissues. HA content in tissues gradually decreases with age, causing age-related health problems. Exogenous HA supplements are used to prevent or treat these problems including skin dryness and wrinkles, intestinal imbalance, xerophthalmia, and arthritis after absorption. Moreover, some probiotics are able to promote endog ...
... Resistant starch (RS) has caught much attention for its potential to exert a beneficial impact on intestine and certain members of its resident microbiota. In this study, we examined how dietary RS promotes intestinal barrier in meat ducks by microbiome-metabolomics analysis. Ducklings were fed corn-soybean basal diet or RS diet. Dietary RS improved intestinal morphology and enhanced barrier funct ...
metabolism, etc ; acid tolerance; acid treatment; acidification; biphenyl; extrusion; models; neutralization; pH; phenotype; China; Show all 11 Subjects
Abstract:
... Environmental acidification impairs microorganism diversity and their functions on substance transformation. Rhodococcus is a ubiquitously distributed genus for contaminant detoxification in the environment, and it can also adapt a certain range of pH. This work interpreted the acid responses from both phenotype and metabolism in strain Rhodococcus biphenylivorans TG9ᵀ (TG9) induced at pH 3. The p ...
metabolism, etc ; diacylglycerols; egg yolk; food chemistry; glycerophospholipids; lipidomics; lysophospholipids; metabolites; sphingolipids; sterols; storage time; Show all 11 Subjects
Abstract:
... A comprehensive UPLC-MS/MS-based lipidomics analysis of egg yolk at different storage periods was performed. Through the analysis, 836 lipid species from 27 subclasses were detected, including 159 significantly different lipid species. Glycerolipids (GL) and glycerophospholipids (GP) were the most abundant lipids, followed by fatty acyls (FA), sphingolipids (SP), sterol lipids (ST), and prenol lip ...
... Mechanism characterization on cross protection between different stresses is important for microbial intervention optimizations to ensuring food safety. In our previous work, ethanol adaptation was found to induce cross-protection against freezing stress in Salmonella Enteritidis. The current work aimed to uncover the underlying mechanisms of this phenomenon using proteomic and mutagenic technique ...

Abstract:
... This review covers key information related to the effects of pesticides on fetal and child health. All humans are exposed to environmental toxicants, however child's health, due to their high vulnerability, should be of special concern. They are continuously exposed to environmental xenobiotics including a wide variety of pesticides, and other pollutants. These compounds can enter the child's body ...

Abstract:
... Marine heatwaves are predicted to become more intense and frequent in the future, possibly threatening the survival of marine organisms and devastating their communities. While recent evidence reveals the adaptability of marine organisms to heatwaves, substantially overlooked is whether they can also adjust to repeated heatwave exposure, which can occur in nature. By analysing transcriptome, we ex ...
fatty acid metabolism, etc ; bioavailability; cadmium; metabolites; salt stress; sodium; soil salinity; starch; sucrose; wheat; China; Show all 11 Subjects
Abstract:
... Soil salinity is known to improve cadmium (Cd) mobility, especially in arid soils. However, the mechanisms involved in how salt stress-associated metabolic profiles participate in mediating Cd transport in the soil-plant system remain poorly understood. This study was designed to investigate the effects of salinity-induced changes in soil metabolites on Cd bioavailability. Sodium salts in differen ...
... Biotreatment of high load hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) can lead to rapid acidification of a bioreactor, which greatly challenges the application of bio-desulfurization technology. In this study, the bio-desulfurization performance was improved by enriching acidophilic mixotrophic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) by adding organics under extremely acidic conditions (pH < 1.0). A biotrickling filter (BTF) ...
... Antibiotics as a selection pressure driving the evolution of soil microbial communities is not well understood. Since microbial functions govern ecosystem services, an ecological framework is required to understand and predict antibiotic-induced functional and structural changes in microbial communities. Therefore, metagenomic studies explaining the impacts of antibiotics on soil microbial communi ...
... In this study, tomato seed oil conventional emulsion (7 μm) and nanoemulsion (0.146 µm) with desirable stability were prepared, then the effect of tomato seed oil addition (bulk and emulsified forms) and thermal treatment on properties of tomato juice was evaluated. Tomato juice without oil and heat treatment exhibited the lowest bioaccessibility of lycopene (17.8 %). Incorporation of oil and appl ...
... The external acid environment of cancer cells is different from that of normal cells, making a profound impact on cancer progression. Here we report a simple poly-l-lysine-modified graphene field-effect transistor (PLL@G-FET) for in situ monitoring of extracellular acidosis around cancer cells. PLL is a well-known material with good biocompatibility and is rich in amino groups that are sensitive t ...
... Basidiomycota brown rot fungus (Fomitopsis pinicola) and two white rot fungi (Phlebia radiata, Trichaptum abietinum) were cultivated on thin slices of spruce wood individually and in interspecies combinations. Within 12 months, F. pinicola substantially decomposed spruce wood observed as mass loss, also in three-species combinations. However, white rot fungi through hyphal interactions negatively ...

Abstract:
... Urotensin II (UII) is a kind of fish somatostatins cyclic peptide, which was originally extracted from the caudal neurosecretory system (CNSS). The system of UII and UII receptor (UIIR) has been reported to have multiple physiological regulatory functions, such as cardiovascular control, osmoregulation, and lipid metabolism. However, the effect of UII and UIIR on the ovarian development has not be ...
