The aim of this work was to analyze the influence of frozen storage and selected substances on the quality of horse meat. The research material consisted of samples of the longest thorax muscle obtained from 12 half-carcases of horses. The use of citric acid and calcium salts contributes to deterioration of hydration properties of horse meat. Extension of frozen storage time from 1 to 3 months resulted in a decrease in the value of water retaining capacity in the analysed raw material. Regardless of the length of frozen storage of horse meat, the applied substances reduced in a statistically significant way the values of hardness and stiffness of the analysed raw material. Extension of frozen storage time influenced the increase of pH value (statistically significant differences) of meat subjected to marinating only with citric acid.

Background: Large-scale multicentre studies are needed to understand complex relationships between the gut microbiota, health and disease. Interrogating the mucosal microbiota may identify important biology not captured by stool analysis. Gold standard tissue cryopreservation ('flash freezing') limits large-scale study feasibility.

Introduction: High-dose systemic prednisolone is the cornerstone treatment of many autoimmune- and inflammatory diseases. Since prednisolone shows non-linear protein binding at higher serum concentrations, quantification of the unbound prednisolone concentration is important to understand prednisolone pharmacokinetics. We developed a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay to quantify protein-unbound prednisolone in serum.

The critical challenges in developing ultralow-temperature proton-based energy storage systems are enhancing the diffusion kinetics of charge carriers and inhibiting water-triggered interfacial side reactions between electrolytes and electrodes. Here an acid-salt hybrid electrolyte with a stable anion-cation-HO solvation structure that realizes unconventional proton transport at ultralow temperature is shown, which is crucial for electrodes and devices to achieve high rate-capacity and stable interface compatibility with electrodes. Through multiscale simulations and experimental investigations in the electrolyte employing ZnCl introduced into 0.
