Peanuts are prone to trigger allergic reactions with high mortality rate. There is currently no effective way to prevent peanut allergy. In order to reduce the allergy risk of peanuts, it's significant to reduce sensitization of peanut prior to ingestion. In this study, the effects of five major apple polyphenols (epicatechin, phlorizin, rutin, chlorogenic acid, and catechin) -peanut protein on the sensitization of peanut allergens were studied by BALB/c peanut allergy model to access the contribution of each polyphenol in apple to peanut allergen sensitization reduction. Then, the mechanism was explored in terms of the effect of polyphenols on the simulated gastric digestion of peanut protein and the changes in structure of Ara h 1. The results showed that polyphenol binding could alleviate allergencitiy of peanut and regulate MAPK related signaling pathway. Among the five major apple polyphenols, epicatechin had the strongest inhibitory effect. The binding of epicatechin to the constitutive epitopes arginine led to changes in the spatial structure of Ara h 1, which resulted in the effective linear epitopes reduction. Modification of peanut allergens with polyphenols could effectively reduce the sensitization of peanut protein.

Azerbaijan is major producer of fruit crops, such as pome and stone fruits, in the Caspian Sea and Caucasus Mountains areas (FAO Stat, 2022). No information is available on the occurrence of apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (ACLSV, genus Trichovirus, family Betaflexiviridae) in the country. Therefore, the main fruit tree production areas in Azerbaijan were surveyed for ACLSV during the 2017-2019 growing seasons by DAS-ELISA using ACLSV reagents (Neogen - Scotland, UK) (Clark and Adams 1977).

A complex regulatory network governs fruit ripening, but natural variations and functional differentiation of fruit ripening genes remain largely unknown. Utilizing a genome-wide association study (GWAS), we identified the NAC family transcription factor MdNAC18.1, whose expression is closely associated with fruit ripening in apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.

In the domain of food science, apple grading holds significant research value and application potential. Currently, apple grading predominantly relies on manual methods, which present challenges such as low production efficiency and high subjectivity. This study marks the first integration of advanced computer vision, image processing, and machine learning technologies to design an innovative automated apple grading system.

Plant-based dietary patterns have been demonstrated to reduce the risk of non-communicable disease (NCD), including cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes, cancer, and all-cause mortality. Phenolic compounds (PC), abundant in plant-based foods, have been considered as instrumental in this attenuation of NCD risk. We evaluated the association between dietary intake of PC and the risk of all-cause mortality in a relatively young Mediterranean cohort of 18,173 Spanish participants in the "Seguimiento Universidad de Navarra" (SUN) project, after a median follow-up of 12.

"Rui Yang", "Rui Xue", and "Rui Xiang Hong" are newly cultivated apple varieties with excellent flavor. However, the key aroma-active compounds responsible for its excellent flavor quality were unclear. This study determined the characteristics of aroma compounds among three new apple varieties and their parental species by Sensomics.
