Assessment of changes in product quality and antioxidant activity of dried soursop ( L.) during product storage.

Innovations for product preservation have attracted interest as they may increase the shelf-life of items when stored properly. In this study, the effects of various storage conditions, including four types of packaging (paper packaging, paper combined PE packaging, aluminum combined PE packaging, and plastic jar packaging) and temperatures (5, 15, 30, and 45 °C) on the quality of dried soursop were evaluated. The results demonstrated that the combination of plastic jar packaging and a storage temperature of 15 °C retained a significant portion of the initial total ascorbic acid content, total polyphenol content, and total flavonoid content.

A New Hope in the Fight Against Antimicrobial Resistance with Artificial Intelligence.

Recent years have witnessed the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) management, implying a positive signal in the fight against antibiotic-resistant microbes. The impact of AI starts with data collection and preparation for deploying AI-driven systems, which can lay the foundation for some effective infection control strategies. Primary applications of AI include identifying potential antimicrobial molecules, rapidly testing antimicrobial susceptibility, and optimizing antibiotic combinations.

Role of clinical pharmacists in epilepsy management at a general hospital in Vietnam: a before-and-after study.

Background: Clinical pharmacists have an important role in inter-professional healthcare collaboration for epilepsy management. However, the pharmacy practices of managing epilepsy are still limited in Vietnam, deterring pharmacists from routine adjustments of antiepileptic drugs, which could decrease the patients' quality of life. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of pharmacist interventions in epilepsy treatment at a Vietnamese general hospital.

Phospholipase pPLAIIIα Increases Germination Rate and Resistance to Turnip Crinkle Virus when Overexpressed.

Patatin-related phospholipase As (pPLAs) are major hydrolases acting on acyl-lipids and play important roles in various plant developmental processes. pPLAIII group members, which lack a canonical catalytic Ser motif, have been less studied than other pPLAs. We report here the characterization of in Arabidopsis () based on the biochemical and physiological characterization of knockouts, complementants, and overexpressors, as well as heterologous expression of the protein.

Cytohistological study of the leaf structures of Meyer and L.

Background: Both Meyer and are obligate shade-loving plants whose natural habitats are broadleaved forests of Eastern Asia and North America. species are easily damaged by photoinhibition when they are exposed to high temperatures or insufficient shade. In this study, a cytohistological study of the leaf structures of two of the most well-known species was performed to better understand the physiological processes that limit photosynthesis.

Overexpression of ginseng causes organ fusion in the axillary leaf branch of .

Background: Glycosylation of natural compounds increases the diversity of secondary metabolites. Glycosylation steps are implicated not only in plant growth and development, but also in plant defense responses. Although the activities of uridine-dependent glycosyltransferases (UGTs) have long been recognized, and genes encoding them in several higher plants have been identified, the specific functions of UGTs remain largely unknown.

-Prenyltransferase interacts with a Nogo-B receptor homolog for dolichol biosynthesis in Meyer.

Background: Prenyltransferases catalyze the sequential addition of isopentenyl diphosphate units to allylic prenyl diphosphate acceptors and are classified as either -prenyltransferases (TPTs) or -prenyltransferases (CPTs). The functions of CPTs have been well characterized in bacteria, yeast, and mammals compared to plants. The characterization of CPTs also has been less studied than TPTs.
