Based on the amino-functionalized corn straw cellulose-based porous material, a structurally stable and high-performance straw-based metal catalyst (PPCS@Ni) was prepared by depositing metal particles on the surface of porous straw (PCS) using an economical and environmentally friendly polymer-assisted metal deposition (PAMD) method. Due to the excellent structural stability of the metal material and the catalytic performance of nickel, PPCS@Ni exhibited outstanding catalytic efficiency, cyclic regeneration ability, and stability in the catalytic hydrogenation of oleic acid. Furthermore, after experimental screening and optimization (8 g oleic acid, 34.73 % Ni, 100 mg PPCS@Ni, 180 °C, 3 MPa H, 6 h), PPCS@Ni demonstrated a yield and selectivity for stearic acid reaching 100 %. Finally, density functional theory calculations revealed the mechanism of PPCS@Ni in the hydrogenation reaction of oleic acid as well as elucidated the key role of the catalyst surface and selectivity trend of products. With these advantages, it is anticipated that the straw-based metal catalysts developed in this study will provide a new effective pathway for vegetable oil hydrogenation processes.

The oil palm ( Jacq.) is a perennial oilseed crop whose mesocarp produces palm oil rich in the unsaturated fatty acid oleic acid, known for its oxidative stability and cardiovascular health benefits. However, the regulatory mechanisms and pathways responsible for variations in oleic acid biosynthesis during fruit development remain inadequately elucidated.

The accumulation of abdominal fat and the metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) are prevalent problems in the poultry industry, and seriously compromise broiler health and reduce economic benefits. Echinocystic acid (EA), a natural product with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, has been demonstrated to reduce abdominal fat deposition and improve intestinal inflammation in mice. However, it has not been reported in poultry research.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) has become one of the most common progressive liver diseases worldwide, but effective treatment options are severely unmet. Carabrone, a sesquiterpene lactone from the traditional Chinese herb L., shows various pharmacological properties, whereas its effect on the improvement of MASH and the underlying mechanisms have not yet been reported.
