Article Abstract
Fusarium wilt of banana, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4 (Foc TR4), is a widely distributed soilborne disease that poses a serious threat to banana production. Many control measures have been implemented but have not been effective. Here, we evaluated a combined strategy for Fusarium wilt control that involves a biological agent (Bacillus velezensis strain EB1) and a bioactive compound (potassium sorbate). Our results showed that potassium sorbate inhibited Foc TR4 in a dose-dependent manner. Potassium sorbate did not limit the growth of EB1 in vitro; instead, it promoted the growth and antagonistic ability of EB1 by upregulating the expression of antagonism-related genes. In greenhouse experiments, the combined application of EB1 and potassium sorbate significantly reduced the disease index of Fusarium wilt by suppressing fungal growth in the roots and promoting plant growth. Overall, our results demonstrated that potassium sorbate and B. velezensis EB1 can be used together for the sustainable management of banana Fusarium wilt.

Sodium benzoate (E211) and potassium sorbate (E202) are two preservatives widely used alone or in combination in the food industry in Algeria. This study aims to estimate the dietary exposure of children and adolescents to these substances in Oran Province (Algeria) and to assess the risks incurred in consuming these two preservatives. For this, a total of 116 commercial food samples were analyzed for potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate content by HPLC, and a survey was carried out on 250 children and 765 adolescents using a consumption frequency questionnaire as the method.

Article Synopsis
- Graphene-based metamaterial sensors are highly sensitive tools for detecting food preservatives at low concentrations, particularly in the terahertz region.
- The study presents an anapole resonance-based graphene metasurface sensor that leverages electrostatic doping to improve detection, specifically for sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate.
- Results show that sodium benzoate has a stronger interaction with graphene due to its structure, leading to more significant amplitude and phase changes, which were analyzed further using continuous wavelet transform for better concentration differentiation.

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are obtained intermediate from nonenzymatic reactions between reducing sugars and proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids and it's associated with diabetic complications. Today, potassium sorbate (PS), sodium citrate (CIT) and sodium benzoate (SB) were widespread used as food preservatives that can easily enter biological matrices. Here, the interaction between glycosylation Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) and food preservatives individually and combination of two and three was studied by biochemical and simulation analysis.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), which is linked to high fructose consumption and food preservatives like sodium benzoate, sodium nitrite, and potassium sorbate.
- - Using a mouse model, researchers found that fructose combined with potassium sorbate worsened liver conditions, leading to increased fat, inflammation, and fibrosis in the liver, along with changes in gut microbiota and intestinal health.
- - The results indicate that the interaction between diet, gut bacteria, and liver metabolism is complex, pointing to dietary changes and microbiome adjustments as potential strategies for preventing and treating MASLD.
