Beyond storage capacity, long-term grain storage faces significant challenges due to the activity of lipoxygenases (LOXs). These enzymes catalyze the production of volatiles from free fatty acids, leading to stale odors and off-flavors. These changes degrade the quality of stored grains, even under regulated conditions, affecting the profitability of stored products to the farmers and the assurance of high-quality food for consumers.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the use of cold plasma treatment to improve the quality and shelf-life of 'Keitt' mangoes, focusing on their nutritional content and microbial stability during storage.
  • Fresh mangoes were treated in various ways (CP for 5 and 10 minutes, chemical dip, or left untreated) and then stored for 30 days before being dried at 60°C.
  • Results indicated that cold plasma treatment led to lower total soluble solids (TSS) and flavanol levels compared to untreated mangoes, but still effectively reduced microbial counts and improved storage stability.

Planar or chip microresonators decrease the sample volume required for magnetic resonance spectroscopies to the nanoliter scale. However, the interrogation of nanoliter-scale solution samples on planar sensors is hindered by the lack of microfluidic devices that can simultaneously provide a small total volume and long-term sample stability. Here, we report microfluidic devices that decrease the total required sample volume to the submicroliter scale and also provide long-term physical stability and storability.

Seed vigor is an important trait closely related to improved seed quality and long-term germplasm conservation, and it gradually decreases during storage, which has become a major concern for agriculture. However, the underlying regulatory mechanisms of seed vigor loss in terms of genes remain largely unknown in quinoa. Here, two cultivars of quinoa seeds with different storage performance, Longli No.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is one of the most popular biomaterials in regenerative medicine. However, the difficulties encountered in its preservation, and the requirement for on-demand preparation severely limit its application. In addition, its rapid degradation in the wound microenvironment makes the sustained release of growth factors impossible and finally reduces the therapeutic effect on chronic wounds.
