Henschke et al. have recently shown that sensory food perception in mice integrated at the hypothalamus would be sufficient to suppress hepatic glucose production in a rapid mechanism involving a newly described AKT-dependent kinase pathway that engages mitochondrial fission dynamics. Exploiting this pathway could guide strategies to treat type 2 diabetes.

Sociodemographic Factors Associated with Purchasing Frozen, Fresh, Canned, and Dried Produce in a Nationally Representative Sample of United States Households.
Curr Dev Nutr
January 2025
Margaret Ritchie School of Family and Consumer Sciences, University of Idaho, Moscow, ID, United States.
Background: Frozen fruits and vegetables (FV) are convenient, cost-effective, reduce food waste, and can be just as nutritious as their fresh counterparts. Despite these numerous advantages, it is unclear which consumer segments are more likely to purchase frozen FV, especially compared with fresh, canned, or dried FV, which could help inform targeted nutrition education interventions.
Objective: The objective of this study is to explore sociodemographic factors associated with increased or decreased odds of purchasing frozen, fresh, canned, and dried FV in a nationally representative sample.
Investigating the hydrolysis of complex carbohydrates with salivary α-amylase.

Department of Food Science, University of Copenhagen, Rolighedsvej 26, 1958 Frederiksberg C, Denmark. Electronic address:
Currently, little is known about how complex carbohydrates (maltodextrins) with varying degrees of polymerisation (DP) and molecular branching interact with α-amylase in human saliva and the associated amounts and structures of generated reducing sugars. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate salivary α-amylase and the subsequent reducing sugars generated with complex carbohydrate stimuli. A secondary aim was to investigate reducing sugar generation and complex carbohydrate taste sensitivity.

Botrytis cinerea is the causal agent of gray mold, which is one of the most widespread and destructive fungal diseases that compromises the productivity and quality of grapes produced throughout the world. This work aimed to verify, for the first time, the impact of unencapsulated carvacrol and encapsulated in Eudragit® nanocapsules (Eud-Carv NCs) and chia mucilage (Chia-Carv NCs) on mycelial growth and spore germination of B. cinerea.

Electronic address:
Shaking and standing (SS) enhances the aroma intensity and quality of black tea (BT). However, its contribution to the taste remains unknown, and the interaction mechanism between the aroma and taste perception of black tea is also undisclosed. Here, the metabolomics and sensory evaluation-assisted flavor analysis were employed to investigate the changes in non-volatiles induced by SS, and the interaction mechanism between aroma and taste perception.

In response to the rise of Non-communicable Diseases, public policies, such as Front-of-package (FOP) nutrition labeling, have been implemented to clarify information on food labels and promote healthier eating habits. Brazil adopted black magnifier warning label in 2020, which consists of a black rectangle with a magnifier glass followed by the expression "High in" for three critical nutrients: added sugar, saturated fat and/or sodium. This study aims to evaluate the effect of black magnifier warning label, brand, and claims on Brazilian consumers' perceived healthiness.
