This study evaluated the antibacterial activity of cinnamaldehyde (CIN) and biogenic silver nanoparticles (BioAgNP), alone and in combination, against , Typhimurium, and in vitro. Their sanitation activities on fresh sweet grape tomatoes were also evaluated. CIN and BioAgNP inhibited the growth of the tested bacteria, and at low concentrations, their combinations presented a synergistic effect. In the sanitization of fresh sweet grape tomatoes, CIN (156 µg/mL) combined with BioAgNP (31.25 µM) at subinhibitory concentrations inhibited the growth of after only 5 min of contact. Exposed samples showed no growth of during their shelf life. The combination of these compounds did not change significantly ( > 0.05) the physicochemical properties of sweet grape tomatoes and showed that CIN combined with BioAgNP could represent an effective method for decontaminating fruits and vegetables. This combination has great potential for application in the prevention of foodborne diseases.

Advances in the detection and mapping of DNA methylation redefine our understanding of the modifications as epigenetic regulation. In plants, the most prevalent DNA methylation plays crucial and dynamic roles in a wide variety of processes, such as stress responses, seedlings growth, fruit ripening and so on. Here, we discuss firstly the changes of DNA methylation (CG, CHG, and CHH) dynamic in plants.

Background: Fortified wine is an important category in the wine world with very famous wines such as Porto or Jerez-wine type. The quality of fortified wines increased significantly with barrel aging not only because of a long oxidation process, but also because, in Porto wines such as Ruby or Vintage styles, the long period in bottle permits their fining. Reducing the time of oxidation can favor the development of this technique even for less known sweet wines, making them good quality and less expensive.

Shangri-La is a promising wine region in China, which has great potential for producing high-quality wines with distinctive regional characteristics. In this work, the aroma properties of spontaneously fermented Cabernet Sauvignon wines produced from seven sub-regions of Shangri-La (Adong, Liutongjiang, Sinong, Xidang, and Nitong from Lancang River basin; Benzilan and Dari from Jinsha River Basin) were comprehensively analyzed using the headspace micro-extraction with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, odor activity values, and olfactory evaluation. Results showed that a total of 59 volatiles belonging to seven groups were identified and quantified in all regional wines, with alcohols constituting the most abundant group, followed by esters and volatile fatty acids.
