This study investigated the impact of steaming on the flavor and metabolic profile of Antarctic krill, aiming to elucidate the pathways responsible for flavor development and metabolic shifts during processing. HS-SPME-GC-MS identified key volatile compounds, including alcohols, aldehydes, ketones and so on. The results demonstrated a significant increase in nonanal content from 2.23 ± 0.06 μg/kg to 8.14 ± 1.26 μg/kg after steaming. The formation pathways of two key flavor compounds, nonanal and 1-octen-3-ol, were attributed to fatty acid degradation. Hierarchical clustering and volcano plot showed metabolic shifts between raw and steamed krill, with differential metabolites like hydroquinone and gamma-aminobutyric acid emerging as key contributors to flavor changes. Furthermore, metabolic network further linked these shifts to reactions involving amino acids, nucleotide and other compounds during steaming, impacting the overall taste.

Citrus fruits, known for their vibrant flavours and health benefits, are susceptible to fungal attacks, particularly from toxigenic fungi, which pose a significant pre- and post-harvest hazard. However, aromatic oils and their nanoparticles may effectively address this issue. Marjoram and fennel oils, alongside their nanoparticles, were extracted, and their aromatic constituents and antimicrobial activities were evaluated.

Ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) is widely used to correct anemia and replenish iron stores rapidly, particularly in Western populations. However, lower doses of FCM are typically used in East Asia, with limited research on their effectiveness, especially in postpartum women. This randomized controlled trial aimed to assess the efficacy of low-dose FCM compared with oral ferrous sulfate in increasing postpartum hemoglobin (Hb) levels and replenishing iron stores in East Asian women.

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.

This study investigated the metabolic characteristics of mulberry wine produced by co-fermentation with (SC) and two different (PK). Although inhibited the growth of during co-fermentation, showed robust growth adaptability. Classical oenological parameters were not significantly altered by co-fermentation compared to pure-fermentation.

Water kefir (WK) is an artisanal fermented beverage made from sugary water, optional fruits and WK grains. WK grains can be reused to start new fermentations. Here we investigate the microbial composition and function of 69 WK grains and their ferments by shotgun metagenomics.
