Mineral, spring and tap water samples of different geographical origins (7 classes) were distinguished by various methods, such as sensory evaluation, electronic tongue measurement, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy and ion chromatography. Samples from the same geographical origin were correctly classified by chemical analysis and electronic tongue (100%), but it was found that only 80% classification rate can be achieved by sensory evaluation. Different water brands (different brand names) from the same geographical origin did not show definite differences, as expected. Forward stepwise algorithm selected three chemical parameters namely, chloride (Cl(-)), sulphate (SO(4)(2-)) and magnesium (Mg) content and two electronic tongue sensor signals (ZZ and HA) to discriminate according to the geographical origins.

Compositional changes and physiological activities of fresh ginseng extracts prepared at various temperatures in subcritical water.

Department of Food Science & Biotechnology, Sejong University, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background: Subcritical water (SW) is regarded as an effective conversion technology for lignocellulosic biomass. The effect of SW on ginseng are limited to evaluate the ginsenoside composition of red ginseng, and there is little information on the effects of SW on fresh ginseng.
Methods: The general characteristics of ginseng extracts (GE) prepared with SW were evaluated in terms of brix, reducing sugar and residual solid content, and compositions of GE was estimated using chromatography.

Following cerebral ischemia, reperfusion injury can worsen ischemia-induced functional, metabolic disturbances, and pathological damage upon blood flow restoration, potentially leading to irreversible harm. Yet, there's a dearth of advanced, localized drug delivery systems ensuring active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) efficacy in cerebral protection during ischemia-reperfusion. This study introduces a multivalent bioadhesive nanoparticle-cluster, merging bioadhesive nanoparticles (BNPs) with dendritic polyamidoamine (PAMAM), enhancing nose-to-brain delivery and brain protection efficacy against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injuries (CIRI).

Department of GreenBio Science/Food Science and Technology, Gyeongsang National University, Jinju, 52725 Republic of Korea.
Physicochemical properties and flavor characteristics of hemp seeds (HS) were analyzed by roasting temperature (140 °C, 160 °C, 180 °C) and time (initial, 3, 6, 9, 12 min). HS with roasting showed a lightness () with increasing roasting time. Total flavonoid content (TFC) decreased significantly with roasting compared to initial, and total phenolic content (TPC) tended to decrease with increasing roasting time at low temperatures (140 °C), but relatively high temperatures (160 °C and 180 °C), TPC increased significantly with increasing roasting time.

1-Propanol is an important aroma compound in sauce-flavor Baijiu. However, the mechanism by which it affects the aroma of sauce-flavor Baijiu has not been fully investigated. In this study, an instrumental and perceptual analysis was employed to assess the impact of 1-propanol on the flavor and volatile compounds in sauce-flavor Baijiu.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of nasal obstruction on the coordinated movement of perioral tissues during mastication using a motion capture system.
Design: Twelve healthy adult participants were instructed to chew gum only on their habitual masticatory side for 30 s, with and without nasal obstruction. Nasal obstruction was induced by blocking nasal breathing with a nose clip.
