Aflatoxin B (AFB) is a highly toxic, carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic mycotoxin commonly found in corn. In this work, water-assisted microwave irradiation (WMI) was used to degrade AFB in corn, during which the influencing factors and kinetics of AFB degradation were also studied. The results showed that the degree of corn crushing, the heating rate of WMI, the temperature of WMI, the solid-liquid ratio, the initial content of AFB and the microwave power were all important factors affecting the degradation of AFB.

With an increasing amount of PFOS and PFBS entering the environment, especially into farmland soil, it is very likely to pollute tobacco-planting soil. Therefore, we chose tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.

- The study examines how varying protein levels in dried noodles (10%-15%) affect their structure and how easily starch within them can be digested during rehydration.
- Results show that the noodles' hardness decreases exponentially during rehydration, influenced by starch gelatinization and protein aggregation, leading to the formation of a honeycomb gel structure.
- Higher protein content leads to a more compact gel structure, slowing down starch digestion rates; overcooking noodles with high protein content reduces digestibility by about 10% compared to low-protein noodles.
Objective: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a prevalent inflammatory condition of the nasal mucosa, with significant burden worldwide. While studies have demonstrated a relationship between body mass index (BMI) and other atopic diseases, its association with AR is uncertain. This study aims to clarify the association between non-normal BMI and AR.
