Metabolic insights into the mechanism of soybean reddening during storage.

Background: Soybean reddening during storage and transportation has caused great concern due to the serious economic loss. However, the mechanism of reddening has not been clearly elucidated. In this study, metabolomics was employed to investigate the reasons for soybean reddening during storage.

Metabolic mechanism of nitrogen modified atmosphere storage on delaying quality deterioration of rice grains.

Nitrogen modified atmosphere was an effective way to control pest infestation in grains. In this study, the quality changes of rice during nitrogen modified atmosphere packaging storage (N-MAPS) were monitored. An un-targeted metabolomics method was used to detect the rice metabolites and explore the mechanism of N-MAPS for delaying rice deterioration.
