The effect of ultra high pressure homogenisation (UHPH) on the volatile profile of soymilk was studied and compared with conventional treatments. Soymilk was treated at 200 MPa combined with two inlet temperatures (55 or 75 °C) and treated at 300 MPa at 80 °C inlet temperature. UHPH-treated soymilks were compared with base product (untreated sample), pasteurised soymilk (90 °C, 30s) and ultra high temperature (UHT; 142 °C, 6s) treated samples. Volatile compounds were extracted by solid-phase microextraction and were identified by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. Pasteurisation and UHPH treatments at 200 MPa produced few changes in the volatile composition, reaching similar values to untreated soymilk. UHT treatment produced the most important effects on volatile profile compared to UHPH at 300MPa and 80 °C. Hexanal was the most abundant compound detected in all treatments. The effect of UHPH technology on volatile profile induced modifications depending on the combinations of processing parameters.

This study investigated the effects of thermal pasteurization, thermal pasteurization with additives, and high-intensity ultrasound techniques on the storage of cocoa honey (Theobroma cacao L.) over a 28-day period. Physicochemical analyses revealed significant differences among the treatments, with thermal pasteurization maintaining stability for up to 14 days, pasteurization with additives for up to 28 days, and ultrasound treatment for up to 21 days.

Tea flower, with characteristic flavor formed during blooming, are a significant tea resource. However, studies on the volatile compounds of tea flower and their aroma characteristics during flowering are scarce. In this study, the odor characteristics of tea flower during blooming were comprehensively investigated by GC-MS, PCA, ACI determination and sensory evaluation.

Background: The microbes residing in ruminant gastrointestinal tracts play a crucial role in converting plant biomass to volatile fatty acids, which serve as the primary energy source for ruminants. This gastrointestinal tract comprises a foregut (rumen) and hindgut (cecum and colon), which differ in structures and functions, particularly with respect to feed digestion and fermentation. While the rumen microbiome has been extensively studied, the cecal microbiome remains much less investigated and understood, especially concerning the assembling microbial communities and overriding pathways of hydrogen metabolism.

Fungal pathogens pose a threat to human health and food security. Few antifungals are available and resistance to all has been reported. Novel strategies to control plant and human pathogens as well as food spoilers are urgently required.

Currently, there remains a debate regarding the functional microorganisms responsible for the quality formation of Guang Chenpi (GCP). Thus, the metabolite profiles and microbial diversity of GCP samples subjected to natural treatment versus those sterilized via electron beam irradiation were investigated over a three-year period. It was found the main constituents of GCP were influenced both by spontaneous changes and microbial activity.
