3-Deoxyanthocyanin pigments are more stable than anthocyanins and show promising bioactive properties. However, little is known about their stability in the presence of food additives such as sulfites. This work investigates the stability of apigeninidin and its derivatives in the presence of sulfites. Pigment (apigeninidin, 5-mono-, and 5,7-dimethoxyapigeninidin) stability at pH 1.8, 3.0, and 5.0, in the presence of sodium metabisulfite (molar ratio ∼ 1:40, pigment/SO2) was monitored over 21 days at room temperature. The structure of sulfite complexation products was monitored using HPLC-MS and NMR spectroscopy. All pigments were significantly bleached within 30 min in the presence of sulfites; the bleaching effect was more severe at pH 5.0 and 3.0 compared to pH 1.8. Apigeninidin was more resistant to bleaching than its methoxylated derivatives. However, all pigments regained some or all of the bleached color within 14-21 days at pH 3.0 and 1.8 in the presence of sulfites, indicating equilibrium favored flavylium cation at these pH values. Formation of colorless sulfonates via bisulfite ion addition at C-4 was responsible for the bleaching effect. Both structure and pH significantly affected stability of 3-deoxyanthocyanidins in the presence of sulfites. The pigments may have potential applications in low pH systems containing sulfites.

Purpose: Molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MoCD) classically presents shortly after birth, with neurological symptoms ascribed to postnatal toxicity of accumulating sulphite. Case reports suggest that cerebral damage associated with MoCD may have a prenatal onset.
Methods: A meta-analysis of case reports was performed on individuals with genetically proven MoCD retrieved through a systematic review and in-house search.

The advanced oxidation process based on S(IV) has garnered increasing attention, owing to its efficiency in degrading contaminants. Here, a cobalt-doped cerium oxide catalyst (Co-CeO) was employed to activate calcium sulfite (CaSO) for imidacloprid degradation. The Co-CeO catalyst was characterized by using SEM, BET, XRD, and XPS techniques to analyze its structural and chemical properties.

Despite ample evidence that extensive water-rock interactions occurred under a CO-dominated atmosphere on early Mars, carbonate minerals are relatively rare at the surface. One possibility to explain this scarcity is that carbonates were initially abundant, but were later destroyed when atmospheric conditions changed, particularly as a result of volcanism releasing large volumes of sulfur dioxide SO into the atmosphere. However, despite some early theoretical and experimental results, no study has investigated the stability of the most common carbonates (Ca, Mg and Fe) in the presence of abundant SO gas.

This study focused on two Mn-oxide-containing adsorbents for As(Ⅲ) removal, namely granular iron-manganese composite oxide (GFMO) and granular iron-manganese-copper composite oxide (GFMCO). The comparative experiments results demonstrated that GFMCO exhibited superior performance in As(Ⅲ) removal and a more obvious Mn(II) release compared to GFMO. Furthermore, this study explored the approaches for the control of manganese release during As(Ⅲ) removal, identifying sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) oxidation followed by manganese sand filtration as the most effective method for capturing released Mn(Ⅱ) in water.

In addition to the four canonical nucleosides dA, dG, dC and T, genomic DNA contains the additional base 5-methyldeoxycytidine (mdC). The presence of this methylated cytidine nucleoside in promoter regions or gene bodies significantly affects the transcriptional activity of the corresponding gene. Consequently, the methylation patterns of genes are crucial for either silencing or activating genes.
