Understanding mechanisms inside the conche is inevitable for targeted conching. Therefore, distribution and transition of aroma-active volatiles (acetic acid, benzaldehyde, (R,S)-(±)-linalool, 2,3,5,6-tetramethylpyrazine, 2-phenylethanol, and 2-phenylethyl acetate) between the different components of dark chocolate (cocoa butter, cocoa particles, sugar particles) were studied. Different model systems were designed and aroma-analytically analyzed by stable isotope dilution analysis. Diffusion mechanisms of selected aroma-active compounds within the chocolate mass depended on their physico-chemical properties and the mass composition, such as fat content and crystallization state of the sugar particles. The compound accumulation in the fat phase increased with decreasing compound polarity and increasing fat content. In the presence of cocoa particles, a 1.5-fold fat content resulted in a 1.6-fold higher proportional acetic acid concentration in the fat phase. Further, total acetic acid concentrations raised in all model systems containing crystalline sugar or cocoa particles (by 13.8-56.9 %), indicating the formation of free acetic acid.

Cytokine storm is a hallmark for acute systemic inflammatory disease like sepsis. Intrinsic microbiome-derived short-chain fatty acid (SCFAs) like acetate modulates immune cell function and metabolism has been well studied. However, it remains poorly investigated about the effects and the underlying mechanism of exogenous acetate in acute inflammation like sepsis.

Biomaterials with antimicrobial and muco-adhesive properties represent an efficient system for different applications. In this paper, a new biomaterial based on chitosan-camphor beads and their crosslinked form with glutaraldehyde was optimized. Low and high molecular weight chitosan were considered.

In this study, skin collagen (TBSC) was extracted by acetic acid solubilization and its physicochemical properties were analyzed. The effects of TBSC and the TBSC hydrolysate (TBSCH) on ultraviolet (UV) irradiation-induced photoaging were investigated using a mouse model.

This study aimed to investigate the qualitative phytochemical profile and evaluate the in vitro cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiarthritic activities, as well as the in vivo anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities, of leaf extract.

The release of PAEs into the environment through pathways that include leaching, evaporation, abrasion, and the use of personal care products exposes humans to PAEs via ingestion, inhalation, and dermal absorption. Pregnant women, as a particularly vulnerable population, risk adverse newborn growth and development when exposed to PAEs.
