3-octanone has been widely identified as a primary biomarker for mold and insect infestation in wheat. Nevertheless, to date, no chemiresistive sensor based on a metal oxide semiconductor with excellent sensing properties for 3-octanone has been developed. In light of the extensively reported superior efficacy of CoO-based sensors for ketone detection, we designed CoO samples with various hierarchical morphologies (hollow sphere, multi-wall sphere, flower-like, and urchin-like), which were determined by regulating solvent and organic ligand. The sensing properties of four as-fabricated CoO-based sensors were systematically evaluated, verifying their potential for efficient 3-octanone monitoring. The adsorption behavior of 3-octanone was studied by DFT simulation, and the preferential adsorption of the hydroxyl functional group in 3-octanone at Co sites was verified. Among the four samples, the hollow spherical CoO demonstrated the highest sensitivity for 3-octanone (173.88 ± 5.59@50 ppm), which can be attributed to the larger specific surface area (SSA, 60.164 m/g), lower energy gap (1.306 eV), and the superior concentration of chemisorbed oxygen (23.8 %). Furthermore, the practical value of this sensor in agricultural product inspection and environmental monitoring applications was validated by testing its response to the complex gases emitted from wheat stored for different periods.

Unlabelled: The alpha emitter astatine-211 (At) is a promising candidate for cancer treatment based on Targeted Alpha (α) Therapy (TAT). A small number of facilities, distributed across the United States, are capable of accelerating α-particle beams to produce At. However, challenges remain regarding strategic methods for shipping At in a form adaptable to advanced radiochemistry reactions and other uses of the radioisotope.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of salt brining process parameters (salt concentration 0-15%, brining time 4-12 h, brining temperature 4-20 °C) on the quality of sous vide cooked duck meat by a single factor combined with response surface methodology (RSM). The sensory evaluation, physicochemical indexes (color, weight loss, NaCl content, TBARS value, and texture properties), and flavor characteristics were analyzed. The sensory overall mean score was applied as the evaluation index to optimize the brining conditions by RSM, and the optimum results contained a salt concentration of 11.

Petroleum hydrocarbon is a critical ecological issue with impact on ecosystems through bioaccumulation. It poses significant risks to human health. Due to the extent of alkane hydrocarbon pollution in some environments, biosurfactants are considered as a new multifunctional technology for the efficient removal of petroleum-based contaminants.

is a highly effective entomopathogenic fungus that also functions as a plant biostimulant. It can act as both an endophyte and rhizosphere colonizer; however, the mechanisms driving biostimulation are multifactorial. In this work, oilseed rape () seeds were grown in composts treated with different concentrations of strains ARSEF 4556 or V275, or the -derived volatile organic compounds 1-octen-3-ol and 3-octanone.
