This study investigates the metabolome of high-quality hazelnuts (Corylus avellana L.) by applying untargeted and targeted metabolome profiling techniques to predict industrial quality. Utilizing comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography and liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry, the research characterizes the non-volatile (primary and specialized metabolites) and volatile metabolomes.

This study introduces a novel wearable biomedical device capable of synchronously acquiring electrocardiographic (ECG), photoplethysmographic (PPG), galvanic skin response (GSR) and motion signals. The device has been specifically designed to be worn on a finger, enabling the acquisition of all biosignals directly on the fingertips, offering the significant advantage of being very comfortable and easy to be employed by the users.
