Unlabelled: Orange juice by-products, including peel, segments, and seeds, account for more than 50% of the total mass. This study aims to valorize the peel and segments of Sai Nam Phueng ( Blanco 'Sai Nam Phueng') orange juice by-products by producing crude pectic oligosaccharides (POS) with prebiotic potential using pulsed electric field (PEF)-assisted enzymatic treatment. PEF was performed for 5 min at field strengths of 10 and 7.5 kV/cm for orange peel powder (OPP) and orange segment powder (OSP), respectively, combined with Cellulase XL-531 at a concentration of 1.75%, pH 5.5, 40 °C for 2 h. The crude OPP-POS and OSP-POS yields were 19.16% and 17.51%, respectively, significantly higher than values obtained with PEF or enzymic hydrolysis singly. Thin layer chromatography results showed that the crude POS consisted of oligogalacturonic acids with various degrees of polymerization. Both POS products could enhance the growth of target probiotic bacteria and simultaneously produce short-chain fatty acids, especially propionic acid. Furthermore, the crude POS products also showed more than 90% resistance to simulated gastrointestinal digestion. These findings support the utilization of by-products from Sai Nam Phueng orange juice as a potential source for prebiotic production using PEF.

Unlabelled: Solid phase extraction technique is a widely used sample preparation technique for the extraction of components from complex food matrices. However, there are several parameters in SPE that leads to low recovery, and reproducibility, insufficiently clean extracts and evaporation of volatile compounds. These drawbacks can be addressed through the use of innovative techniques and instrumentation that offers improved efficiency and accuracy for isolation of active constituents from food and beverage samples.

Dietary factors have recently been recognized as potentially influential in the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EM), yet studies on the causal relationship between dietary preferences and EM are limited. The present study aimed to explore the causal relationships between 187 dietary preferences and EM using Mendelian randomization (MR) methods. This study utilised genome-wide association study data from over 500,000 European participants for dietary preferences and 64,658 EM patients from Finland.

Within the realm of lateral flow assay (LFIA), the conjugation efficiency between signal tracers and antibody constitutes a pivotal determinant for the sensitivity of the detection system. In this study, three-dimensional (3D) complex flower-like MoS self-assembled from 2D MoS, and natural plant polyphenols "Tannic acid" were introduced for surface modification. This composite material exhibits distinct colorimetric signals, excellent monoclonal antibody coupling efficiency, and commendable photothermal properties.

Investigating the causes and consequences of niche partitioning in populations is a major goal in ecology and evolutionary biology. Previous studies have investigated genetic and environmentally induced variation in resource utility and their ecological implications. However, few studies have explored variability (non-genetic, stochastic variation) as a factor contributing to variation in resource utility.

Objective To evaluate the stain resistance and color stability of four Clear aligners (CA) brands against various beverages at different intervals, along with assessing the elaboration of cleaning agents. Methods In a strictly controlled lab environment, 48 CAs from four different companies (Invisalign, EON, Clear Cap, and K clear) were immersed for seven days in six different beverages based on their pH (Pepsi, orange juice, milk, coffee, and black tea), as well as a control solution (distilled water). The VITA Easy-Shade compact colorimeter used the Commission International lightening L*a*b* color scheme to evaluate the color change of the aligners at four intervals.
