A near-infrared fluorescent "turn on" probe DTMI featuring simple skeleton was constructed easily. It undergoes a structure transformation from an A-π-A to a D-π-A framework towards SO. Besides, DTMI is capable of distinctive sensing sulfite with a fast response and a significant Stokes shift as well as with high sensitivity, excellent selectivity, long-term stability of fluorescence signals, and good anti-interference ability. The detection limit (LOD) of DTMI for sulfite within the linear concentration range of 0.5-10 μM is 27.39 nM. More importantly, DTMI has been favorably utilized for detecting sulfite in food samples such as red wine and vermicelli. Based on its low biotoxicity, DTMI has been successfully applied in imaging experiments involving HeLa cells, onion inner epidermal cells, and zebrafish. Therefore, the results show that the presented probe possesses potential sensing activity towards sulfite in complex biological system and food samples.

Fiber is essential for rumen health, microbial fermentation, and the energy supply of herbivores. Even though the study of fecal fiber contents (neutral detergent fiber NDF, acid detergent fiber ADF, and acid detergent lignin ADL) using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) has allowed investigating nutritional ecology of different herbivore species, NIRS calibrations are species-specific and require a large number of samples for predictions. A multispecies calibration would be an advantage since samples from different herbivores could be used to calibrate a model capable of predicting the fecal fiber content of other herbivores.

Traditional drying is a highly energy-intensive process, accounting for approximately 15% of total manufacturing cost, it often resulting in reduced product quality due to low drying efficiency. Biological and chemical agents, referred to as biochemical drying improvers, are employed as pretreatments to enhance both drying characteristics and quality attributes of fruits and vegetables. This article provides a thorough examination of various biochemical drying improvers (including enzymes, microorganisms, edible film coatings, ethanol, organic acids, hyperosmotic solutions, ethyl oleate alkaline solutions, sulfites, cold plasma, carbon dioxide, ozone, inorganic alkaline agents, and inorganic salts) and their effects on improving the drying processes of fruits and vegetables.

To improve the toughness of the rice dough, protein transglutaminase (TGase) combined with sodium metabisulfite (SMB) modification was used. The influences of modification on rice dough and protein were investigated, and their physicochemical and structural characteristics were analyzed. Mechanical analysis results indicated that the tanδ and texture characteristics of the modified rice dough were close to those of the wheat dough.

SO is commonly used to ensure the safety of food, but englobing of excessive SO poses serious risks to human health. Additionally, as fourth gaseous signaling molecule, it plays a critical role in various physiological processes. Therefore, monitoring the concentration of SO in food and cells is crucial for correlative research and disease diagnosis.

Hydrogen sulfide is a lethal toxic gas that disrupts cellular respiration in the mitochondrial system. Currently, no antidote is available for the clinical treatment of hydrogen sulfide poisoning. In this study, we investigated the function of iron(III)porphyrin complexes as hydrogen sulfide scavengers in water and evaluated their potential use as therapeutic agents for hydrogen sulfide poisoning.
