Phytochemical profiles of 24 quince liquors were studied as the combination of technologically variant. Liquors were obtained after macerating quinces from three varieties (Vranja, ALM3 and ZM2), with or without skin, at two ratios of quince:ethanol (50:50 and 25:75), and at two alcohol content (60% and 30%). Polyphenols were identified by LC-PDA-QTOF/MS and quantified by UPLC-PDA and UPLC-FL. A total of 18 polyphenolic compounds were identified and classified as 5 flavan-3-ols, 5 phenolic acids, and 8 flavonols. Flavan-3-ols were the most abundant group followed by hydroxycinnamates and flavonols. The highest contents of total polyphenols (∼1,000 mg/100mL) and antioxidant activity (37.1 mmol Trolox/100mL) were found in the liquors prepared using fruits with skin and 50:50 quince:ethanol ratio. The skin of quinces was the main source of phenolic acids and especially flavonols. The high antioxidant activity and polyphenolic content of quince liquor may be deemed as a promising new alcoholic beverage.

Article Synopsis
- Limu smoked chicken, a traditional Chinese dish, is associated with harmful substances called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) produced during smoking.
- Researchers developed a new process to minimize PAH generation while using pear wood for liquid smoke, evaluating its chemical contents and toxicity risks under various conditions.
- The optimal conditions for creating safer pear wood smoke liquid were determined to be a pyrolysis temperature above 350 °C, a specific particle size, and 8% sucrose content.

Article Synopsis
- Methyl parathion is a highly toxic pesticide frequently used in China, while sibutramine is a weight-loss drug that can be misused, leading to contamination in food products.
- There are concerns about unethical practices in food production that result in harmful residues of these substances, making rapid detection essential.
- Research has developed immunoassays to effectively identify and quantify both methyl parathion and sibutramine, demonstrating their practical limits of detection and establishing standard curves for accurate measurement.
