Summary: Multivariate analysis of the data indicated that compounds like 2-phenylethyl acetate, ethyl nonanoate, 2-hexanol, isoamyl octanoate, and ethyl 2-hydroxymethylbutanoate were the primary ones responsible for classifying Vespolina wines, especially for those from the 2015 and 2013 vintages. On the other hand, wines from the 2008 and 2009 vintages exhibited the highest levels of procyanidin B1, catechin, gallic acid, trans-piceid, and trans-resveratrol.

Summary: Plants release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to interact with other organisms, with terpenes being the largest group of plant-released VOCs. These compounds not only protect plants from stresses but also convey environmental information. Different volatile terpenes can act as signaling cues between plants and trigger immune responses in receiver plants.

Summary: Conifer terpenes play important ecological roles such as deterring herbivory and facilitating plant-plant communication. Analysis of spruce terpenes revealed both intra- and interspecific variation, with differences in volatile profiles observed. The enantiomeric compositions of chiral monoterpenes were largely consistent among the three conifers, with notable exceptions for (-)-alpha-pinene.

Summary: Previous studies mainly used gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to analyze volatile compounds in soy sauce. This study employed both GC-MS and headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the volatile compounds in high-salt liquid-state fermentation soy sauce (HLFSS). The results revealed that there were 174 substances detected, with 87 detected by HS-GC-IMS and 127 by GC-MS. Aldehydes, ketones, esters, and alcohols were identified as the major compounds in HLFSS. Additionally, some compounds like ethyl pyruvate, (E)-2-pentenal, and diethyl propanedioate were newly detected using HS-GC-IMS.

Summary: Leaf extracts of Eugenia uniflora L. have been traditionally used for treating digestive disorders and hypertension, and they possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. In this study, the antioxidant extraction conditions from E. uniflora leaves were optimized using Energized Dispersive Guided Extraction (EDGE) technique. The results showed that acetone as the solvent, one cycle of extraction, 125 sec extraction time, 91 degrees C temperature, and 40 mL g-1 solvent-to-mass ratio were the optimal conditions for antioxidant extraction. The extract exhibited significant antioxidant properties and contained important bioactive compounds.

Summary: Expenditure isolation of lignin and the understanding of its structural variations during different isolation processes are crucial for the high-value utilization of lignin. This study proposed a green deep eutectic solvent (DES) consisting of choline chloride, ethylene glycol, and 4-chlorobenzene sulfonic acid for rapid lignin separation from poplar. The structural variations of DES lignin and its relationship with alkali pre-extraction of hemicellulose were investigated. The results showed that alkali pretreatment enhanced the DES separation of lignin and promoted the cleavage of specific linkages, resulting in reduced molecular weight and thermal stability of isolated DES lignin. Moreover, DES lignin obtained from integrated utilization displayed higher purity and S/G ratio compared to lignin obtained from direct DES treatment.

Summary: This study explored the formation mechanism of agarwood induced by fungus and its potential application in high-quality and high-yielding agarwood production. The results showed that the transition layer played a critical role in the continuous accumulation of agarwood, and the parenchyma cells of the xylem rays and interxylary phloem were the main action site of fungus. The accumulation and distribution of chemical composition in different layers were also investigated. The study identified the drivers of specific compounds and provided a theoretical foundation for future agarwood production.
