This study investigated the correlation between endogenous storage proteins and aromatic compounds in rice, and their collective influence on rice eating quality. Six rice samples, varying in four endogenous storage proteins through gene editing genetically modified, were analyzed for their sensory characteristics and volatile compounds utilizing GC-E-nose, GC-MS, GC-MS-O, texture analyzer, and sensory evaluation. The results indicated that a total of 55 flavor compounds were identified, with 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline identified as the key aroma compound, positively correlated with prolamin content, while negatively correlated with glutelin and albumin. The concentrations of glutelin and prolamin significantly influence the odor, taste, and texture of rice. Additionally, six prediction models were evaluated, with the optimal Support Vector Regression (SVR) model selected for predicting rice flavor profiles based on protein content. This study provides a foundation for understanding key factors in rice aroma and texture, offering valuable guidance for gene-editing strategies aimed at enhancing rice flavor.

Background: Hypochlorous acid (HClO) is a crucial disinfectant in the food industry. It can be used to soak perishable foods like vegetables, fruits, eggs, fish, and raw meat before processing and storage, eliminating microorganisms, bacteria, fungi, and pathogens to ensure food safety. HClO also helps preserve vegetables and fruits by reducing ethylene production, delaying rotting, decreasing cell membrane permeability, inhibiting polyphenol oxidase activity, and postponing discoloration.

Endogenous gliadin/glutenin fractions regulate the short/long-term retrogradation behavior of starch-gluten gels.

This study explored composite gels' structural properties and short/long-term retrogradation behavior by varying ratios of wheat starch to gluten and gliadin to glutenin. The results showed that as the proportion of gluten increased, the degree of order and crystalline conformation was lost, manifested by an increase in the gel network's porosity and protein aggregation. The dilution effect of gluten on starch and the water competition significantly reduced the viscosity and elasticity of the system, and the ratio of glu75-gli25 had the most significant impact on the viscoelasticity.

Nearly all health professionals, whatever their practice or speciality, now have contact with a significant number of insulin-using people with diabetes. People with type 1 diabetes are nearly universally managed on more complex insulin regimens, increasingly with complex support technology, and with some understanding of the concepts underlying these needed by anyone with responsibility for other aspects of their health care. People with type 2 diabetes usually come to insulin therapy in time, now with a prevalence for insulin administration of ≈50%, thanks to improved management of associated health risks giving longer life expectancy.
