Humans are constantly exposed to micro- and nanosized plastics (MNPs); however, there is still limited understanding of their fate within the body, partially due to limitations with current analytical techniques. The current study assessed the appropriateness of pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS) analysis for the quantification of a range of polymers in human blood. An extraction protocol that reduced matrix interferences (false positives) of polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) was developed and validated.

Adjuvants can enhance an immunological response, which is an important part of vaccine research. Pickering bubbles have been a mega-hit for biomedical applications, including visualization and targeted drug delivery. However, there have been no studies on Pickering bubbles as an immunological adjuvant, and the special properties and structures of Pickering bubbles may play an important role in immunization.

Physisorbents are poised to address global challenges such as CO capture, mitigation of water scarcity and energy-efficient commodity gas storage and separation. Rigid physisorbents, those adsorbents that retain their structures upon gas or vapour exposure, are well studied in this context. Conversely, cooperatively flexible physisorbents undergo long-range structural transformations stimulated by guest exposure.

The Chinese proverb "One mountain, one flavor" reflects that raw pu-erh tea (RPT) from different tea-producing mountains (TPMs) possesses distinct flavor profiles. However, limited research has been conducted on the chemical composition underlying distinct flavor profiles. In this study, sensory evaluation and main phytochemical compositions revealed diverse aromas of RPTs from 26 TPMs.

The popularity of roasted pork among Chinese consumers is largely attributed to its rich aroma profile. However, the suitability of different pork species for roasting remains uncertain. In this study, the effect of various pork species on the aroma profiles of roasted pork was systematically investigated using gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry (GC-O-MS).
