The role of malolactic fermentation (MLF) in the fruity aroma of red wines was investigated by an analytical study on more than 60 volatile compounds in 48 red wines made in varied conditions and supplemented by a sensory study. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) modify the fruity notes of red wines but without a specific trend. The absence, in the short term, of a lactic mask was emphasized, whereas the existence of a smoked/toasted reduction-like mask note was evoked but not characterized. Variations in the composition of the fruity aroma markers were predominant. Although LAB β-glycosidase activities were not very involved, on the other hand, esterase seemed to play a central role that was sometimes associated with the metabolism of the sulfur-containing compounds. New insights in ester metabolism in enological LAB and the importance of wine composition on bacterial variations in metabolites and aromatic alterations were emphasized.

The use of nanozymes for electrochemical detection in the food industry is an intriguing area of research. In this study, we synthesized a laccase mimicking the MnO@CeO nanozyme using a simple hydrothermal method, which was characterized by modern analytical methods, such as transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), etc. We found that the addition of MnO significantly increased the laccase-like activity by 300% compared to CeO nanorods.

The use of 3D-printed electrodes is reported fabricated from in-house conductive filament composed of a mixture of recycled poly (lactic acid) (rPLA), graphite (Gpt), and carbon black (CB) for fast detection of the abused drug ketamine. Firstly, the performance of these electrodes was evaluated in comparison to 3D-printed electrodes produced employing a commercially available conductive filament. After a simple pretreatment step (mechanical polishing), the new 3D-printed electrodes presented better performance than the electrodes produced from commercial filament in relation to peak-to-peak separation of the redox probe [Fe(CN)]/ (130 mV and 759 mV, respectively), charge transfer resistance (R = 1.

The winemaking process generates huge amounts of waste every year. Fermented grape pomace, the major by-waste product, holds significant value due to its chemical composition and technological properties. In this study a multi-omics approach was employed for the detailed molecular characterization of fermented grape pomace from Montepulciano grape, a widely used Italian red grape variety.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of various beverages on surface roughness and microhardness of PEEK and PEKK polymers.
Methods: Rectangular-shaped PEEK and PEKK polymers were fabricated and examined in the study. The specimens were immersed for 28 days at 37°C in red wine, coffee, and distilled water.

This study assessed the susceptibility to staining and surface roughness of white-spot lesions (WSLs) treated with resin infiltration (RIT) and microabrasion (MA) under simulated aging through thermocycling in red wine. Seventy-eight extracted human premolars with artificial WSLs were divided into three groups: untreated WSLs (control), RIT-treated (ICON, DMG), and MA-treated (Opalustre, Ultradent). Each group was further split: one subgroup immersed in artificial saliva and the other thermocycled in red wine.
