This study presents a novel rapid analytical method for the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from blueberry leaves using the Tenax adsorbent followed by separation using a multicapillary column (MCC) and Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) detection. The emitted VOCs including caryophyllene, benzene acetonitrile, linalool, ocimene, and methyl salicylate initiated by different stress factors including mechanical damage (punching), herbivore attack (aphids) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) spraying were detected and quantified. Limits of Detection (LODs) for the VOCs were determined in the range of 8 to 33 ng. This new cost-efficient method provided a simple and direct detection of the emitted VOCs from plants without any sample pretreatment.

Background: The inclusion of sustainable protein sources in poultry feed has become essential for improving animal welfare in livestock production. Black soldier fly larvae are a promising solution due to their high protein content and sustainable production. However, most research has focused on fast-growing poultry breeds, while the effects on native breeds, such as the Bianca di Saluzzo, are less explored.

Early detection of bacterial pneumonia by characteristic induced odor signatures.

BMC Infect Dis

December 2024

Department of Infectious Diseases and Hospital Epidemiology, University Hospital Zurich, University of Zürich, Zurich, 8097, Switzerland.

Introduction: The ability to detect pathogenic bacteria before the onsets of severe respiratory symptoms and to differentiate bacterial infection allows to improve patient-tailored treatment leading to a significant reduction in illness severity, comorbidity as well as antibiotic resistance. As such, this study refines the application of the non-invasive Secondary Electrospray Ionization-High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (SESI-HRMS) methodology for real-time and early detection of human respiratory bacterial pathogens in the respiratory tract of a mouse infection model.

Methods: A real-time analysis of changes in volatile metabolites excreted by mice undergoing a lung infection by Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pneumoniae were evaluated using a SESI-HRMS instrument.

Machine Learning for Predicting Zearalenone Contamination Levels in Pet Food.

Toxins (Basel)

December 2024

Key Laboratory of Feed Biotechnology, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Institute of Feed Research, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, No. 12 Zhongguancun South Street, Beijing 100081, China.

Zearalenone (ZEN) has been detected in both pet food ingredients and final products, causing acute toxicity and chronic health problems in pets. Therefore, the early detection of mycotoxin contamination in pet food is crucial for ensuring the safety and well-being of animals. This study aims to develop a rapid and cost-effective method using an electronic nose (E-nose) and machine learning algorithms to predict whether ZEN levels in pet food exceed the regulatory limits (250 µg/kg), as set by Chinese pet food legislation.

Oxygenated VOC Detection Using SnO Nanoparticles with Uniformly Dispersed BiO.

Nanomaterials (Basel)

December 2024

Department of Advanced Materials Science and Engineering, Faculty of Engineering Sciences, Kyushu University, Kasuga 816-8580, Fukuoka, Japan.

BiO particles are introduced as foreign additives onto SnO nanoparticles (NPs) surfaces for the efficient detection of oxygenated volatile organic compounds (VOCs). BiO-loaded SnO materials are prepared via the impregnation method followed by calcination treatment. The abundant BiO/SnO interfaces are constructed by the uniform dispersion of BiO particles on the SnO surface.

: Essential oils (EOs) have been exploited by humans for centuries, but many sources remain poorly investigated, mainly due to the low yields associated with conventional extraction. Recently, new techniques have been developed, like solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME), able to enhance efficiency and sustainability. The use of L.
