Article Synopsis
  • A two-stage thermal treatment (40-70 °C followed by 90 °C) was tested to preserve the juiciness of krill muscle, showing better results than conventional one-stage boiling.
  • Significant changes in muscle properties were observed, particularly at the 50 °C preheating stage, which resulted in higher actin content and better water affinity while reducing α-helix structure.
  • The study suggests that this preheating method effectively maintains muscle integrity and juiciness in krill, indicating its potential for food processing applications.

To investigate the effects of different drying methods on the flavor of scallops, headspace gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) combined with gas chromatography-olfactometry-quadrupole time-of-flight (GC-O-QTOF) was used to analyze the flavor of scallops processed by five drying methods. A total of 62 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were identified by GC-IMS. 27 characteristic aroma compounds were identified by GC-O-QTOF, and the highest content was trimethylamine.

Article Synopsis
  • Gut dysbiosis, caused by antibiotic exposure, can lead to infections and increased inflammation in the gut and other organs, but the regulatory processes are not fully understood.
  • This study explores how sialic acids (Neu5Gc and Neu5Ac) influence inflammation related to gut dysbiosis using a mouse model of mastitis.
  • Results show that sialic acids worsen inflammation and promote the growth of specific bacteria (Enterococcus) that correlate with higher inflammatory markers, suggesting potential paths for disease prevention by targeting inflammatory pathways.

A simple but robust strategy of ball milling (20 Hz, 30 Hz for 30 s, 60 s, 120 s, 180 s) was utilized to modify bamboo shoots fiber (BSDF) in shrimp surimi. The water holding capacity, swelling capacity, and oil binding capacity of 30 Hz-60 s milled BSDF exhibited the highest values of 5.61 g/g, 3.

Effective reduction of the allergenicity of instant soy milk powder (ISMP) is practically valuable for expanding its applications. This study optimized the enzymolysis technology of ISMP using single-factor experiments and response surface methodology, combined serological analysis, cellular immunological models, bioinformatics tools, and multiple spectroscopy techniques to investigate the effects of alcalase hydrolysis on allergenicity, spatial conformation, and linear epitopes of ISMP. Under the optimal process, special IgE and IgG1 binding abilities and allergenic activity to induce cell degranulation of alcalase-hydrolyzed ISMP were reduced by (64.

Article Synopsis
  • Subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) can cause mastitis, a serious disease in dairy cows, and researchers found a substance called hexadecanamide (HEX) that is lower in cows with SARA.
  • HEX helps protect against S. aureus, a bacteria that can cause mastitis, by reducing inflammation and keeping the milk’s protective barrier strong.
  • The study suggests that improving the metabolism in cows, especially with HEX, could help prevent mastitis and improve cow health in dairy farming.

Mastitis is a serious disease for humans and animals, which causes huge economic losses in the dairy industry and is hard to prevent due to the complex and unclear pathogenesis. Subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) has contributed to the development of mastitis by inducing ruminal dysbiosis and subsequent low-grade endotoxemia (LGE), however, how ruminal metabolic changes regulate this progress is still unclear. Our previous study revealed that cows with SARA had increased ruminal retinoic acid (RA) levels, a metabolic intermediate of vitamin A that plays an essential role in mucosal immune responses.

In this study, sensory evaluation, electronic nose, and HS-GC-IMS were used to investigate the effects of different seasonings (deionized water, onion, ginger, Sichuan pepper, and mixed seasonings) on the flavor of fish maw. The results showed that the volatile compounds of fish maw soaked in different seasonings were mainly organic sulfides and aromatic compounds. A total of 95 volatile compounds were identified, including 25 aldehydes, 23 olefins, 19 alcohols, 11 esters, 9 ketones, 3 acids, 2 sulfides, 1 furan, 1 ether and 1 ketoxime.

Article Synopsis
  • Mastitis is a common and economically detrimental disease in dairy cows, which is linked to Subacute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA) that disrupts rumen microbiota and increases mastitis susceptibility.
  • Research indicates that the intestinal metabolite Phytophingosine (PS) shows antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, potentially offering a way to alleviate mastitis symptoms.
  • In mouse studies, PS was found to reduce inflammatory cytokines, relieve mammary gland inflammation caused by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and enhance the function of the blood-milk barrier by regulating key signaling pathways.

Sea urchin gonads have high nutritional value and degenerate rapidly during storage. Previous assessment of the freshness of sea urchin gonads was based on experience without valid biochemical indicators. Thus, the current study is to find biochemical indicators representing the freshness of sea urchin gonads.

In this review, the physicochemical and conformational changes of myofibrillar proteins (MPs) of freeze-induced mince-based aquatic foods were comprehensively summarized in depth. Studies have demonstrated that temperature fluctuation and long-time freezing negatively affect food quality, resulting in texture alteration, drip fluid, flavor degradation, and nutrition loss due to MPs denaturation, aggregation, and oxidation. Attempts have been made in ice-recrystallization inhibition, freezing point depression, and ice shape and growth control for better cryopreservation.

There is an emerging consumption of the Antarctic krill (AK) muscle-based food due to its excellent nutritional value and enormous biomass storage capacity. However, the coarse texture of the muscle and the weak gelling properties of AK protein impede its expansion in surimi-based products. This investigation successfully prepared heat-induced gels of AK surimi with desirable textural properties by including Litopenaeus vannamei in varying proportions.

This study aimed to compare tilapia fish cake drying and sterilization conditions (105, 115, and 121 °C) on the quality of the cakes. The impacts of volatile flavor substances, the chroma value, quality and structure characteristics, microscopic structure, and the types and content of volatile flavor substances were also analyzed. The results showed that after drying and sterilization, the L* value, W value and delta-E value of fish cakes decreased significantly from 77.

Objective: To study the effect of β-sheet blocking peptide H102 on the expression of AMPK-mTOR autophagy pathway-related protein in APP/PS1 double transgenic AD mice.

Methods: Thirty male APP/PS1 transgenic male AD mice of 6 months old were randomly divided into AD group and H102 intervention group, and C57BL/6J male mice of the same age were used as control group (n=15). The mice in the HF group were administered with 5 μl (5.

Aqueous ammonia (NH⋅HO) has been shown to serve as the simplest nitrogen-containing ligand to effectively promote copper-catalyzed selective alcohol oxidation under air in water. A series of alcohols with varying electronic and steric properties were selectively oxidized to aldehydes with up to 95 % yield. Notably, by increasing the amount of aqueous ammonia in neat water, the exclusive formation of aryl nitriles was also accomplished with good-to-excellent yields.

Bombyx mori was used as a model to evaluate the reproductive toxicity of NaF in insects. Significant reduction in cocoon quality, survival rate, fecundity, and hatchability were observed upon NaF treatment groups. Fluoride determination indicated that F has a cumulative effect on the gonad of silkworm.
