Effectiveness of Differentiating Mold Levels in Soybeans with Electronic Nose Detection Technology.

This study employed electronic nose technology to assess the mold levels in soybeans, conducting analyses on artificially inoculated soybeans with five strains of fungi and distinguishing them from naturally moldy soybeans. Principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) were used to evaluate inoculated and naturally moldy samples.

An appealing therapeutic target in antiviral research is fatty acid synthetase (FASN), a crucial enzyme in the FAS pathway. Bovine viral diarrhea, caused by the Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), is a significant viral infectious disease posing a substantial threat to global animal husbandry.

Metabolomics of black beans ( L.) during atmospheric pressure steaming and in vitro simulated digestion.

In the paper, metabolomics techniques based on UHPLC-QE-MS were used to study raw black beans, steaming black beans, and their in vitro digestion products. The results show that the three groups of raw black beans, atmospheric pressure-steamed black beans, and their in vitro digests comprised 922, 945, and 878 characteristic metabolites, respectively, dominated by amino acids, organic acids, polyphenols, and sugars. After screening the differential metabolites, content comparison, the content of amino acids, sugars, and phenolics in black beans was found to be increased after atmospheric steaming.
