Rizhao green tea (RZT), a renowned green tea, is cultivated in China's northernmost tea region. Its unique environment endows it with a strong chestnut- and seaweed-like aroma. This study sought to explore the volatile profiles of RZT and pinpoint its key odorants by employing stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), determining the odor activity value (OAV), and performing gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O). A total of 112 volatiles were identified, and the major volatile compounds were esters (2035.25 μg/kg), alcohols (1799.02 μg/kg), alkanes (991.88 μg/kg), and ketones (691.96 μg/kg), comprising 74.91% of the total. A molecular aroma wheel was preliminarily established based on these key odorants. These insights might contribute to the scientific elucidation of the flavor chemical basis of RZT.

The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, is a serious invasive crop pest and threat to food security. Conventional pest control approaches using chemical pesticides can lead to adverse environmental and human health problems calling for safer alternative pest management options. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by plants constitutively and in response to herbivory have been shown to enhance ecologically benign biocontrol alternatives to chemical insecticides for pest management.

The intricate relationship between the chemical composition and sensory attributes of various pineapple ( var. ) cultivars was investigated using multivariate statistical analysis. Our findings revealed that high hedonic ratings for pineapples are partially attributed to their distinct flavor profiles such as tropical fruit, sweetness, coconut, and floral aroma and flavor and textural qualities like juiciness and fibrousness.

Background: Hydrogen sulfide (HS) gas, characterized by its low odor threshold and toxicity, poses significant challenges in non-point source odor management. Traditional biotechnologies are effective in removing malodorous gases from point sources but they are limited for non-point source odor control.
Results: In this study, the sqr and pdo genes from Cupriavidus pinatubonensis JMP134 were introduced into the bacterial cellulose-producing strain Kosakonia oryzendophytica FY-07.
