Freshly-manufactured mum sausages were assigned to two processing methods (process I: stored at ∼30 °C for 14 days; process II: stored at ∼30 °C for three days, vacuum-packaged, and stored at 4 °C until day 28). Physicochemical, microbial, textural, and sensory properties of samples were analysed. The results showed that dehydration was more intense in process I samples, and resulted in lower moisture content and water activity. Significant decreases in pH values, and increases in lactic acid were observed in both samples by day 3. The total microflora and lactic acid bacteria counts increased rapidly during the fermentation and then decreased while the Enterobacteriaceae counts decreased steadily. Too much dehydration resulted in tough textures and unacceptable sensory qualities for process I samples. In conclusion, after three days of fermentation, with vacuum-packaging, ripening and storage at 4 °C up to 28 days, it is possible to produce mum sausages with better qualities and an extended shelf life.

Gold nanoclusters decorated hollow ZIF-8 encapsulating iron-catecholates (Fe-HHTP@HZIF-8@ AuNCs) was formed through self-assembly of Fe and 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene (HHTP), in situ embedding of ZIF-8, and Au-Zn exchange reaction. Its morphology and structure were fully characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy element mapping, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Additionally, its oxidase-like activity was explored with K of 0.

Selective and sensitive detection of nitrite has important medical and biological implications. In the present work, to obtain an enhanced electrochemiluminescence (ECL) determination of nitrite, a novel nano-ECL emitter CoBIM/cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was prepared via a micelle-assisted, energy-saving, and ecofriendly method based on benzimidazole (BIM) and CTAB. Unlike conventional micelle assistance, the deprotonated BIM (BIM) preferential placement was in the palisade layer of cationic CTAB-based micelles.
