A disposable amperometric biosensor was developed for the detection of total polyphenolic compounds from tea infusions. The biosensor was designed by modifying the surface of a carbon screen-printed electrode with platinum nanoparticles and reduced graphene oxide, followed by the laccase drop-casting and stabilization in neutralised 1% Nafion solution. The obtained biosensor was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical techniques. It was observed that platinum nanoparticles-reduced graphene oxide composite had synergistic effects on the electron transfer and increased the electroactive surface area of the carbon screen-printed electrode. The constructed analytical tool showed a good linearity in the range 0.2-2 μM for caffeic acid and a limit of detection of 0.09 μM. The value of Michaelis-Menten apparent constant was calculated from the electrochemical version of Lineweaver-Burk equation to be 2.75 μM. This disposable laccase biosensor could be a valuable tool for the estimation of total polyphenolic content from tea infusions.

This study aimed to fortify Jamun () juice with vitamin D to address vitamin D deficiency and boost health. A nanoemulsion of vitamin D was fabricated using a low-temperature (4-20C) sonication method and incorporated into the juice. The vitamin D fortified jamun juice (VDFJJ) exhibited a total polyphenol content of 14.

Background: Biowaste accounts for about 40% of total waste. Food-industry waste is one major biowaste stream. The available technological approaches to biowaste treatment are expensive, not circular, unsustainable, and they require pre-treatments such as dehydration, extraction of inhibitors, pH correction, or the addition of other organic matrices.

The research intended to explore the control ability of alginate oligosaccharide (AOS) on Penicillium expansum infection in pear fruit by priming response and its mechanism. The results showed that 100 mg L AOS treatment could significantly reduce the incidence of postharvest blue mold and the lesion diameter in pear fruits and maintain their quality. The defense responses induced by AOS treatment alone were relatively mild in pear fruits.
