This paper presents the establishment of a sensory evaluation system for purple sweet potato rice steamed sponge cake (PSPRSSC) utilizing fuzzy mathematics. Initially, eight key sensory evaluation indices were identified through expert consultations. These indices were subsequently prioritized using fuzzy binary comparison, resulting in the following order: aroma, taste, crust color, elasticity, viscosity, chewiness, hardness, and brightness. The corresponding weight values assigned to each index were 23%, 18%, 16%, 13%, 12%, 8%, 6%, and 4%, respectively. Notably, aroma was found to have a more significant impact than visual attributes in the sensory evaluation of PSPRSSC. Based on this prioritization, comprehensive sensory evaluation criteria for PSPRSSC were formulated. Verification tests confirmed the efficacy of the proposed evaluation system. This study provides critical data and theoretical support for the sensory quality assessment of PSPRSSC, thereby facilitating its industrialization and enhancing its market viability.

Cadmium is a heavy metal contaminant known to cause various health issues. However, limited research exists on the serum metabolomic effects of cadmium exposure in children. In this study, we recruited 42 children to analyze their serum metabolomic profiles, along with measuring urinary cadmium and creatinine concentrations, to evaluate the impact of environmental cadmium exposure on serum metabolism.

Background: Yogurt has emerged as an essential nutritional food in contemporary diets, and the development of new multi-component yogurt formulations has become a focal point of current research.
Objective: In this study, the effects of fermentation compounds and the addition of sugar, soy milk on the quality and probiotic activity of milk-soy mixed yogurt were studied to determine the optimal formation of mixed yogurt.
Methods: The various fermentation compounds (YO-MIX 883, Lactobacillus Casei complex starter cultures, Lactobacillus Paracasei compound starter cultures), different concentrations of milk-soy additions (0, 25, 50, 75, 100%) and sugar (2, 4, 6, 8%) were tested within each experimental group, and the pH, appropriate acidity, and total viable bacterial count of the fermented milk-soy mixed yogurt were determined throughout the fermentation and refrigeration processes.

Complete spinal cord injury (SCI) causes permanent locomotor, sensory and neurological dysfunctions. Targeting complex immunopathological microenvironment at SCI sites comprising inflammatory cytokines infiltration, oxidative stress and massive neuronal apoptosis, the conductive oriented nanofiber felt with efficient ROS clearance, anti-inflammatory effect and accelerating neural regeneration is constructed by step-growth addition polymerization and electrostatic spinning technique for SCI repair. The formation of innovative Fe-PDA-PAT chelate in nanofiber felt enhances hydrophilic, antioxidant, antibacterial, hemostatic and binding factor capacities, thereby regulating immune microenvironment of SCI.

As the global population continues to grow and food demands increase, the food industry faces mounting pressure to develop innovative solutions. Cell-cultured meat involves cultivating cells from live animals through self-renewal methods or scaffolding and presents a promising alternative to traditional meat production by generating nutritionally rich biomass. However, significant research is still needed to overcome challenges such as developing serum-free media, identifying suitable additives to support cell growth, and ensuring the quality of cell-cultured meat closely resembles that of traditional meat.

This study explores the feasibility of using raw Greek honey-infused cacao-based formulations for three-dimensional printing (3DP). It evaluates their physicochemical properties, thermal stability, and rheological behaviour. Three honey varieties, one of which was Lavender Honey (LH), were incorporated into cacao printlets to assess their impact on structural integrity and compatibility with Vitamin D3 (VitD3), a bioactive compound known for immune system enhancement.
