Article Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of theaflavins (TFs), tea polyphenols (TP) and vitamin C (VC) on the nitrite residue amount, color, antioxidant capacity and N-nitrosamines inhibition in cured sausage. The addition of TFs, TP and VC combined with NaNO respectively could significantly increase the a* value, nitroso pigment content and DPPH free radical scavenging rate, and effectively reduced the content of residual nitrite, metmyoglobin (MetMb) and total N-nitrosamines in cured sausages than treated only with NaNO (P < 0.05), of which TFs group was the most significant (P < 0.05). It was indicated that the addition of TFs, TP could better inhibit the oxidation of cured sausages. UV-vis spectroscopy also showed pentacoordinate nitrosyl ferrohemochrome was the main pigment component in the samples. The results demonstrated that TFs and TP could contribute to the desired color and safety of sausage.

Nitrite is widely used as a food additive, and it is of great significance to realize accurate detection of nitrite for food safety. Electrochemical technique is characterized by simple operation and portability, which enables rapid and accurate detection. The key factors affecting the nitrite detection performance are the electrocatalytic activity and interfacial electron transfer efficiency of the electrode.

Article Synopsis
- The study details the characterization of a mutated variant of copper-containing nitrite reductase (SmNirK) from S. meliloti, where the catalytic aspartate (Asp) is replaced with serine (Ser) via site-directed mutagenesis.
- The D134S variant retains the homotrimer structure and similar T1 electron transfer center to the wild-type, but shows altered electronic properties in the T2 active site, impacting its enzymatic efficiency and pH dependence.
- EPR studies reveal significant changes in the T2 properties due to the mutation, highlighting the role of T2 ligands in catalysis and suggesting a potential mechanism for electron transfer influenced by the Asp/Ser switch.
Biotic and abiotic removal of acetaminophen during sidestream partial nitritation processes: Underlying mechanisms and transformation pathways.

Article Synopsis
- Pharmaceutical residues in sidestream wastewater can harm ecosystems and human health, making their removal crucial.
- Research focused on how acetaminophen, a common drug, is degraded in this wastewater treatment process, finding that removal efficiency varies with nitrite and free nitrous acid (FNA) levels.
- The study revealed that a significant portion of acetaminophen was removed through both abiotic processes and bacterial metabolism, and optimal FNA levels are key for effectively eliminating such pharmaceuticals from wastewater.

Excessive residues of nitrite can pose a serious threat to human health, making the establishment of an efficient and effective electrochemical sensor for nitrite detection highly necessary. Herein, we report on a sensor based on nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers, with FeCoNiCuAl high-entropy alloy (HEAs) nanoparticles grown on the carbon fibers through a confinement effect. The FeCoNiCuAl/CNF sensor is capable of electrochemically detecting nitrite using both differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and amperometric (-) methods.
