We applied a thermal-desorption gas-chromatograph mass-spectrometer (TD-GC-MS) system to identify the marker volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the aroma of red wine. After obtaining the marker VOC, we utilized surface acoustic waves (SAWs) to develop a highly sensitive sensing system as 'electronic nose' to detect these marker VOC. The SAW chips were fabricated on a LiNbO substrate with a lithographic process. We coated sensing polymers on the sensing area to adsorb the marker VOC in a sample gas. The adsorption of the marker VOC altered the velocity of the SAW according to a mass-loading effect, causing a frequency decrease. This experiment was conducted with wines of three grape varieties-cabernet sauvignon, merlot and black queen. According to the results of TD-GC-MS, the King brand of red wine is likely to have unique VOC, which are 2-pentanone, dimethyl disulfide, 2-methylpropyl acetate and 2-pentanol; Blue Nun-1 probably has a special VOC such as 2,3-butanedione. We hence used a SAW sensor array to detect the aroma of red wines and to distinguish their components by their frequency shift. The results show that the use of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) as a detecting material can distinguish Blue Nun-2 from the others and the use of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) can distinguish King from the others. We conducted random tests to prove the accuracy and the reliability of our SAW sensors.

Improving yield traits is the primary goal for wheat breeding, while much less attention has been paid to flavor and odor quality of wheat grain. In this study, a high-throughput protocol was developed for the identification and quantification of volatile compounds (VOCs) in wheat grains via a static head-space coupled with GC-MS. Using a diverse population consisting of 312 wheat germplasms, a database including 94 VOCs was constructed for grains.

SARS-CoV-2 emerged rapidly as a pandemic, leading to the urgent development and authorization for the use of several vaccines, with questions relating to immunogenicity in previously infected people or to virus variants. As such, we sought to determine the humoral and cellular immune response of healthy adults to distinct SARS-CoV-2 variants upon AZD1222/COVISHIELD vaccination, using chemiluminescence (CMIA), neutralizing antibody (PRNT) and analysis of activation-induced marker (AIM) by flow cytometry, respectively. We enrolled 75 volunteers, including 26 individuals previously infected with SARS-CoV-2.

Organoids mimic human organ function, offering insights into development and disease. However, non-destructive, real-time monitoring is lacking, as traditional methods are often costly, destructive, and low-throughput. In this article, a non-destructive chemical tomographic strategy is presented for decoding cyto-proteo-genomics of organoid using volatile signaling molecules, hereby, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), to indicate metabolic activity and development of organoids.
