Rapid and sensitive diagnostic measures are a pre-requisite for the control of SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks. Dogs detect SARS-CoV-2-infected human individuals with high speed due to their extraordinary olfactory acuity. In the post-pandemic phase of SARS-CoV-2 it is difficult to obtain samples from infected humans for scent dog training.

During the storage period after harvest, the presence of volatile esters is essential for European pear aroma. Nevertheless, the specific molecular process underlying the production of volatile esters in European pear remains elusive. In this research, head space solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry were employed to examine the volatile compounds of two varieties of European pear.

Thua nao, a traditional Thai fermented soybean, offers a unique aroma and nutritional value. However, fresh thua nao cannot be stored for long periods due to its high in water activity (a). This study examined the effects of various drying methods, including natural sun drying and machine drying methods, namely hot air, microwave vacuum (MIC), and vacuum drying on the qualities of dried black soybean thua nao.

The well-known English naturalist John Ray wrote more than 200 years ago about the curious reaction of cats to a plant in the mint or Lamiaceae family, the catnip plant . Ray even wrote a short verse about the relationship between cats and catnip: 'If you set it the cats will eat it; If you sow it the cats can't know it' (Considine 2016). When leaves of this plant are bruised and release their volatiles, cats react by attempting to rub and roll over on the leaves, seeming to be in a state of ecstasy.

Early detection of cancer typically facilitates improved patient outcomes; however, many cancers are not easily diagnosed at an early stage. One potential route for developing new, non-invasive methods of cancer detection is by testing for cancer-related volatile organic compounds (VOCs) biomarkers in patients' urine. In this review, 44 studies covering the use and/or identification of cancer-related VOCs were examined, including studies which examined multiple types of cancer simultaneously, as well as diverse study designs.
