A novel approach towards multiattribute decision making using q-rung orthopair fuzzy Dombi-Archimedean aggregation operators.

When dealing with real-life problems, the q-rung orthopair fuzzy set is a core concept because the power of the membership and non-membership degrees is less than or equal to one. The process of selecting and evaluating alternatives based on several criteria or characteristics is known as multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) problems. The overview of the attribute values is a significant problem in MADM.

Identification of Pepper Leaf Diseases Based on TPSAO-AMWNet.

Pepper is a high-economic-value agricultural crop that faces diverse disease challenges such as blight and anthracnose.

The timely and accurate identification of pepper diseases is crucial.

Mild steam treatment: Enhancing the rehydration performance of instant rice noodles by changing the physicochemical properties and gel structure of rice starch.

The "instant" quality of instant rice noodles is significantly affected by slow rehydration during cooking. This happens as a result of the native rice starch's low ability to gelatinize as well as the high shear and pressure utilized in industries during the widely used extrusion molding process. In order to address this issue, the rice flour was pretreated with mild steam (MS) technology.

Simultaneous qualitative and quantitative determination of 104 fat-soluble synthetic dyes in foods using disperse solid-phase extraction and UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS analysis.

Here we developed and validated a simultaneous screening and quantitation method for the analysis of fat-soluble synthetic dyes that most frequently found in foods, using C d-SPE clean-up and UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS on Full-MS/dd-MS mode. During a single run, 104 dyes including 6 pairs of isomers were distinguished based on chromatographic separation and unique product ions.

Facile production of low-viscosity mung bean starch through cold plasma treatment: Improvement of film formability.

Mung bean starch (MBS) has a strong potential to be used as food packages. However, preparing tough and uniform MBS films via industrial casting remains challenging due to the high viscosity of MBS slurry. Herein, MBS was modified by using dielectric barrier discharge cold plasma (CP) in an attempt to decrease its viscosity and improve the film-forming properties.

Multiple attribute decision making based on Pythagorean fuzzy Aczel-Alsina average aggregation operators.

A useful expansion of the intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) for dealing with ambiguities in information is the Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS), which is one of the most frequently used fuzzy sets in data science. Due to these circumstances, the Aczel-Alsina operations are used in this study to formulate several Pythagorean fuzzy (PF) Aczel-Alsina aggregation operators, which include the PF Aczel-Alsina weighted average (PFAAWA) operator, PF Aczel-Alsina order weighted average (PFAAOWA) operator, and PF Aczel-Alsina hybrid average (PFAAHA) operator. The distinguishing characteristics of these potential operators are studied in detail.

The effect of this approach on GABA enrichment and anti-hypertensive activity of BW along with its processing properties were investigated.

A Review of Detection of Antibiotic Residues in Food by Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy.

Antibiotics, as veterinary drugs, have made extremely important contributions to disease prevention and treatment in the animal breeding industry. However, the accumulation of antibiotics in animal food due to their overuse during animal feeding is a frequent occurrence, which in turn would cause serious harm to public health when they are consumed by humans. Antibiotic residues in food have become one of the central issues in global food safety.

Moisture molecule migration and quality changes of fresh wet noodles dehydrated by cold plasma treatment.

Compared with dried noodles, fresh wet noodles (FWNs) have unique flavor and texture characteristics. However, they have a short shelf life due to their high moisture content (approximately 33%). We developed an innovative technique applying cold plasma, which allows the quick removal of some of the moisture to improve their shelf-life.

Detection of diluted contaminants on chicken carcasses using a two-dimensional scatter plot based on a two-dimensional hyperspectral correlation spectrum.

A two-dimensional (2D) scatter plot method based on the 2D hyperspectral correlation spectrum is proposed to detect diluted blood, bile, and feces from the cecum and duodenum on chicken carcasses. First, from the collected hyperspectral data, a set of uncontaminated regions of interest (ROIs) and four sets of contaminated ROIs were selected, whose average spectra were treated as the original spectrum and influenced spectra, respectively. Then, the difference spectra were obtained and used to conduct correlation analysis, from which the 2D hyperspectral correlation spectrum was constructed using the analogy method of 2D IR correlation spectroscopy.
