Bacterial community structure and metabolomic profiles of yak milk and cattle-yak milk during refrigeration in Gannan region: Analysis of interspecific differences in milk spoilage.

The bacterial community dynamics and metabolomic profiles in raw yak (Y) milk and cattle-yak (CY) milk during refrigeration at 4 °C were investigated, followed by the elucidation of interspecific differences in milk storage. Bacterial communities and succession patterns were significantly different between the two milk types during refrigeration, with Lactococcus and Pseudomonas being the key distinguishing genera. Moreover, higher network complexity and tighter interactions were observed for the microbial community in CY milk than in Y milk.

Physiological functions of glucose transporter-2: From cell physiology to links with diabetes mellitus.

Glucose is a sugar crucial for human health since it participates in many biochemical reactions. It produces adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) and nucleosides through glucose metabolic and pentose phosphate pathways. These processes require many transporter proteins to assist in transferring glucose across cells, and the most notable ones are glucose transporter-2 (GLUT-2) and sodium/glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1).

Effect of high hydrostatic pressure on aroma volatile compounds and aroma precursors of Hami melon juice.

High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatment is an effective technique for processing heat-sensitive fruits and causes changes in volatile compounds and their precursors while maintaining quality. We investigated the changes and correlations of volatile compounds, related enzyme activities and precursor amino acids, and fatty acids in Hami melon juice under 350-500 MPa pressure. The application of HHP treatment resulted in a considerable reduction of esters and a substantial increase in aldehydes and alcohols in C6 and C9.

Morel ( spp.) intake alters gut microbial community and short-chain fatty acid profiles in mice.

Morels ( spp.) are highly nutritious and consumed as both edible mushrooms and traditional Chinese medicine. This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with morel mushrooms on the gut bacterial microbiota and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) profiles in healthy mice.

UPLC-MS-MS-based lipidomics for the evaluation of changes in lipids during dry-cured mutton ham processing.

Six key stages in the processing of dry-cured muton ham were selected, and changes in the main lipid metabolites as well as the major pathways involved were identified using a lipidic metabolomics approach based on UPLC-MS-MS. In total, 581 lipid metabolites from 22 subclasses were identified, including 521 significantly differential lipids (p < 0.05, VIP > 1).

Effect of high hydrostatic pressure on aroma components, amino acids, and fatty acids of Hami melon ( L. var. reticulatus naud.) juice.

The changes and relationships between the volatile compounds and fatty acids, and between volatile compounds and free amino acids were analyzed after they were handled by 400 and 500 MPa (45°C/10 min) high hydrostatic pressure (HHP). The volatile components of 31, 30, and 32 were detected in the untreated, 400, and 500 MPa samples, respectively. Unlike the ketones and acids, the three contents, including ester (59.
