Aims: This serendipitous study revealed an unexpected effect of Jufeng grape juice on the CYP1A2-mediated metabolism of phenacetin. Investigation of the inhibition of CYP1A2 by grapefruit juice was involved but a translation error led to the grape juice substitution.
Methods: Twelve healthy subjects took a single oral dose of phenacetin (900 mg) on two randomized occasions together with 200 ml water or grape juice. Plasma phenacetin and paracetamol concentrations were assessed by h.p.l.c.
Results: Ingestion of grape juice was associated with reduced plasma phenacetin concentrations, while paracetamol levels were unaffected. Paracetamol to phenacetin AUC ratios increased from 13.9+/-3.1 to 24.3+/-3.8 after ingestion of grape juice.
Conclusions: These findings suggest enhanced first-pass metabolism of phenacetin, due to CYP1A2 activation by grape juice or to desaturation of CYP1A2 isoenzymes secondary to a slower rate of phenacetin absorption.

Controlling the microorganisms employed in vinification is a critical factor for successful wine production. Novel methods aimed at lowering sulfites used for wine stabilization are sought. UV-C irradiation has been proposed as an alternative for reducing the viable cell count of microorganisms in wine and grape juice.

Yeasts produce numerous antimicrobial agents such as killer toxins, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other secondary metabolites, establishing themselves in developing natural and sustainable biocontrol strategies for agriculture and food preservation. This study addressed the biocontrol potential of yeasts, isolated from spontaneous fermentations of rosehips ( L.) and rowanberries ( L.

Yeasts were tested in monoculture and sequential fermentations alongside commercial . Indigenous non-Saccharomyces yeasts showed the potential to improve fermentation performance and enable the development of new wine styles through the biosynthesis of an unsaturated fatty acid pathway, which was identified as the most significant pathway.

The detection of adulteration in apple juice concentrate is critical for ensuring product authenticity and consumer safety. This study evaluates the effectiveness of artificial neural networks (ANN) and support vector machines (SVM) in analyzing spectroscopic data to detect adulteration in apple juice concentrate. Four techniques-UV-visible, fluorescence, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, and time domain H nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry (H NMR)-were used to generate data from both authentic and adulterated apple juice samples.

In this study, a mixed fermentation strategy using grape-blended pear juice co-inoculated with 346 and ES488 was used to characterize the modifications of the flavor and antioxidant activity of Zaosu pear-Merlot grape alcoholic beverage. The optimum fermentation parameters identified using a fuzzy mathematical sensory evaluation model were an initial pH of 4.22, a ratio of 346 and ES488 inoculated 1.
