In this study, the mechanism of ultrasound combined with corn starch granules (CSG) treatment improved the foam properties of whey protein isolates (WPI) and was systematically investigated. The results showed that ultrasound combined with corn starch granules treatment increased foam capacity and stability by 15.38% and 41.40%, respectively. Compared with the control group, corn starch granules enhanced the surface charge (52.38%) and system turbidity (51.43%), which certainly provided the necessary conditions for the improvement of foam stabilization stability. In addition, corn starch granules as microgel particles increased the mechanical properties of the interfacial protein film, thus delaying the instability of foam. This research would provide new insights into the design of new protein-based foam foods in the future food industry.

Background: Brain, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and plasma metabolomics have been informative in identifying disrupted metabolism pathways in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, many AD-focused metabolomics studies profiled a relatively small number of individuals and metabolites, especially for CSF. In addition, past studies were limited to one or two tissues.

Carbon assimilation is a crucial part of the photosynthetic process, wherein inorganic carbon, typically in the form of CO, is converted into organic compounds by living organisms, including plants, algae, and a subset of bacteria. Although several carbon fixation pathways have been elucidated, the Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle remains fundamental to carbon metabolism, playing a pivotal role in the biosynthesis of starch and sucrose in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. However, Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO), the key carboxylase enzyme of the CBB cycle, exhibits low kinetic efficiency, low substrate specificity, and high temperature sensitivity, all of which have the potential to limit flux through this pathway.

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, and therapies that effectively halt disease progression are lacking. Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), including acetate, propionate, and butyrate, are abundant gut bacterial metabolites produced via fermentation of dietary fibers and resistant starch. There is growing evidence that SCFAs may affect key neuropathological processes underlying AD, but their role is not well established.

Cerasus is a subgenus of Prunus in the family Rosaceae that is popular owing to its ornamental, edible, and medicinal properties. Understanding the evolution of the Cerasus subgenus and identifying selective trait loci in edible cherries are crucial for the improvement of cherry cultivars to meet producer and consumer demands. In this study, we performed a de novo assembly of a chromosome-scale genome for the sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.
