The determination of volatile and semi-volatile components of ice wine aroma was realized throughout the development of a rapid headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-TOF-MS) analytical method (Part I) and its application to the analysis of 137 samples produced in Canada and Czech Republic and collected directly from the producing wineries (Part II). In this Part III study, the complex matrix resulting from the analysis of the 58 compounds selected for each sample as described in Part II, was submitted to critical interpretation by using a self-organizing map (SOM) technique. Results were commented in terms of relative characterization of samples according to their geographical origin, grape varieties, and vintage years. When clear clustering was obtained, the most determinant compounds responsible for the observed differentiations were identified and further discussed.

Ensuring prompt and precise identification of bacterial pathogens is essential for initiating appropriate antibiotic therapy and combating severe bacterial infections effectively. Traditional microbiological diagnostics, involving initial culturing and subsequent pathogen detection, are often laborious and time-consuming. Even though modern techniques such as Raman spectroscopy, MALDI-TOF, and 16S rRNA PCR have significantly expedited this process, new methods are required for the accurate and fast detection of bacterial pathogens.

Given the widespread use of play mats and their close contact with children, it is crucial to identify potential chemical hazards associated with these products. In this study, 34 play mats, comprising four materials (3 EPE, 15 XPE, 5 PVC, 11 EVA), were subjected to non-targeted screening based on headspace gas chromatography-Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (HS-GC-Orbitrap HRMS), which screened out 71 volatile substances. The 20 significantly different substances were recognized by partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), while the characteristic substances in each type of play mat were determined through clustering heat map and Venn diagram.

Rationale: The stable isotope compositions of atmospheric CO can provide useful insight into various geochemical processes and carbon cycles on Earth, which is critical for understanding of Earth's changing climate. Here, we present a simple and cost-effective analytical method for the collection and measurement of carbon and oxygen isotope compositions of atmospheric CO.
Methods: Air samples of ~150 mL were collected individually or collectively using our simple active air collection system and then extracted on a vacuum purification line to remove noncondensable gases and atmospheric water vapor.

The eukaryotic red alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae 10D is an emerging algal host for synthetic biology and metabolic engineering. Its small nuclear genome (16.5 Mb; 4775 genes), low intron content (39), stable transgene expression, and capacity for homologous recombination into its nuclear genome make it ideal for genetic and metabolic engineering endeavors.
