This study analyzed the phenolic compounds, organic acids, sugars, and antioxidant activity in different conventional apple cultivars () from the Serbian market. Polyphenol profiles, sugars, and organic acid contents were analyzed by HPLC, and antioxidant activity was examined by DPPH and FRAP. Notable findings included variations in phenolic compound presence, with certain compounds detected only in specific cultivars.

Commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae plays an important role in the traditional winemaking industry. In this study, the correlation of microbial community and aroma compound in the process of alcohol fermentation of Cabernet Sauvignon by four different commercial starters was investigated. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the fermentation parameters of the four starters, but there were differences in microbial diversity among the different starters.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that spontaneous alcoholic fermentation of grape juice is becoming a more popular option in global wine production. Wines produced from the same grape juice by inoculation or spontaneous fermentation usually present distinct chemical and sensorial profiles. Inoculation has been associated with more similar end-products, a loss of typicity, and lower aroma complexity, and it has been suggested that this may be linked to suppression of the local or regional wine microbial ecosystems responsible for spontaneous fermentations.

Pinot blanc is a grape variety found in all wine-growing regions of Austria. However, there are only few scientific studies which deal with the aroma of wines of this variety. In the course of this project, the relationship between aroma profile and the typicity of Austrian Pinot blanc wines was studied.

Urinary tract infections caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) pathovars belong to the most frequent infections in humans. In men, pathogens can also spread to the genital tract via the continuous ductal system, eliciting bacterial prostatitis and/or epididymo-orchitis. Antibiotic treatment usually clears pathogens in acute epididymitis; however, the fertility of patients can be permanently impaired.

Background: Wound healing in cardiac surgery has become a major problem due to the impaired risk profile of many patients. The aim of this study was to prove the influence of autologous platelet gel (APG) on wound healing in a special group of high-risk patients undergoing coronary surgery.

Patients And Methods: We performed a prospective, double-blind study in 44 patients with a special risk constellation relating to wound complications (obesity, diabetes, smoker, New York Heart Association (NYHA) III-IV and peripheral vascular disease).
