The shelf life of chestnut rose beverage is largely dependent on packaging method and storage temperature. In this study, we investigated the effects of packaging beverages in bottles made of either polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or PEN (polyethylene naphthalate)/PET and storage temperature (4, 25, 37, and 55 ℃) on the shelf life of chestnut rose beverage. The physicochemical parameters and enzyme activity of beverages were evaluated, and we found that at 4 °C, the vitamin C, superoxide dismutase, and total polyphenol contents of beverages stored in PEN/PET bottles increased by 9.95 ± 0.49%, 2.86 ± 0.13%, and 3.23 ± 0.09% respectively, compared to beverages in ordinary PET bottles. In addition, other characteristic indicators including total soluble solids, browning index, and color value were also significantly improved. A shelf-life model was established based on the Arrhenius equation, and it will help distributors and consumers to determine the storage time and optimal shelf life of chestnut rose beverage.

Background: Food safety is a significant global study subject that is strongly intertwined with human life and well-being. The utilization of DNA-based methods for species identification is a valuable instrument in the field of food inspection and regulation. It is particularly significant for traceability purposes, as it enables the monitoring of a specific item at every level of the food chain regulation.

Background And Objectives: Despite the significant impact of heart failure on both members of the care dyad, few interventions focus on optimizing the health of the dyad. The current study examined the feasibility and acceptability of the novel Taking Care of Us (TCU) program with mid-late-life couples living with heart failure and explored preliminary efficacy.

Research Design And Methods: This NIH Stage I study used a 2-arm randomized controlled trial with pretest-post-test design and an additional 5-month follow-up to compare TCU with an educational counseling attention-control condition.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study examines how the invasion of the gall inducer *Yasumatsu 1951* affects local species interactions, focusing on gall inducers and their parasitoids in Spanish chestnut tree ecosystems.
  • - By analyzing bipartite networks, researchers found that native parasitoids primarily derive from existing native gall communities, with notable diversity emerging in less than ten years.
  • - The investigation reveals that parasitoids are more specialized when looking at host plant taxa, indicating that the native community is adapting quickly to utilize previously unexploited gall resources.

Article Synopsis
  • * Recent efforts to stop smoking haven't been put into action yet, and it’s important to see what could happen if smoking rates stay the same or improve.
  • * Researchers used models to predict health outcomes by 2050 based on different scenarios of smoking rates, showing that cutting smoking could greatly improve health and life expectancy.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explored how the duration of germination affects the nutritional components and antioxidant activity of germinated Chinese chestnut seeds.
  • It found that germination for 8 days significantly increased the levels of beneficial compounds like GABA, flavonoids, and vitamin C in the germ, while reducing some sugars in the cotyledons.
  • The results suggest that after 8 days of germination at specific conditions, the germs of Chinese chestnuts are optimal for use in functional food products due to their enhanced health benefits.
