In this study, the aroma components of long shelf-life yoghurt produced from milk with varying acidity levels were identified using the Stir Bar Sorptive Extraction (SBSE) coupled with comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry technology (GC × GC-O-MS) for the first time. A total of 16 and 12 aroma-active compounds were characterized in long shelf-life yoghurt and milk, respectively, through qualitative analysis. Subsequent precise quantification and calculation of odor activity values (OAVs) showed significant differences in aroma profiles among samples with different compound concentrations. Finally, partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and variable importance of projection (VIP) showed that the differential compounds in long shelf-life yoghurt were acetoin, butanoic acid, 2,3-butanedione, hexanoic acid, and nonanal, while the differential compounds in milk samples were hexanoic acid, 2,3-butanedione, decanal, nonanal, and acetic acid. These findings provide novel insights into the effect of milk acidity on the aroma components of long shelf-life yoghurt.

Therapeutic proteins such as insulin and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have become an essential part of the modern healthcare system and play a crucial role in the treatment of various diseases including cancer and autoimmune disorders. However, their long-term stability is a significant concern, affecting efficacy, shelf-life, and safety. Ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as promising additives to enhance protein stability and address the aforementioned issues.

One of the key challenges in using natural extracts for water treatment is their biodegradability and susceptibility to microbial spoilage, which can limit storage and long-term effectiveness. This study investigates the scale inhibition capabilities of an aqueous extract of Salvia rosmarinussp through electrochemical measurements, conductivity tests, and morphological examination. Additionally, two natural substances, Rhamnolipid and Chitosan, were evaluated as bio-preservatives to prevent mold growth and enhance the shelf life of the rosemary extract.

To address exudate accumulation and enhance the preservation of chilled pork, a biodegradable aerogel composed of konjac glucomannan (KGM), xanthan gum (XG), bamboo fiber (BF), and varying concentrations of carvacrol (CV) was developed. The aerogels were characterized by their microstructure and properties, which exhibited rapid water absorption and good mechanical performance in both dry and wet states. The incorporation of CV endowed the aerogels with antibacterial activity against E.

Small-molecule drugs are pillars of modern medicine, used to prevent and treat a plethora of diseases. Their applications include modulating the immune response, where macrophages and other phagocytic innate immune cells are critical therapeutic targets. In comparison to biologics, small-molecule drugs benefit from relative ease of synthesis and structural modification, long shelf life, and low cost.

Covering: 2000 up to the first half of 2024Milk and its derived dairy products have long been integral to the human diet, with evidence of consumption dating back over 9000 years. Milk's high nutritional value renders dairy products an important element of human diet while also offering a fertile environment for microbial growth. Beneficial microorganisms in dairy products are often associated with biogenic and probiotic effects, whereas spoilage or pathogenic microorganisms can pose health risks.
