Occurrence, Bioaccumulation, and Human Exposure Risk of the Antiandrogenic Fluorescent Dye 7-(Dimethylamino)-4-methylcoumarin and 7-(Diethylamino)-4-methylcoumarin in the Dongjiang River Basin, South China.

Recently, 7-diethylamino-4-methylcoumarin (DEAMC) has been identified as a potent antiandrogenic compound in the surface water; however, little is known about the antiandrogenic potentials of other synthetic coumarins and their occurrence in the aquatic ecosystem. In this study, for the first time, we observed that 7-dimethylamino-4-methylcoumarin (DAMC) elicited androgen receptor (AR) antagonistic activity with a 50% inhibitory concentration (IC) of 1.46 µM, which is 14.

Modeling of soluble solid content of PE-packaged blueberries based on near-infrared spectroscopy with back propagation neural network and partial least squares (BP-PLS) algorithm.

Blueberries are a nutritious and popular berry worldwide. The physical and chemical properties of blueberries constantly change through the cycle of the supply chain (from harvest to sale). The purpose of this study was to develop a rapid method for detecting the properties of packaged blueberries based on near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy.
