Summary: The global generation of industrial solid waste (ISW) reaches billions of tons annually. However, due to its low recycling efficiency and accompanying environmental pollution, it is difficult to directly utilize ISW on a large scale. Improper disposal of ISW in many developing countries leads to serious pollution to the air, water, and soil environment. In this study, a systematic review was conducted on the recycling and pollution control of major ISW. A bi-tetrahedron model was proposed based on the fundamental central paradigm of materials science and engineering to promote sound ISW management.

Summary: A technological solution has been developed to convert slaughter waste and farm manure into organic and mineral fertilizers. By creating an enclosure with nitrogen-binding substances on a goose farm, nitrogen emissions can be reduced by up to 80%. This solution aligns with ecological trends and allows for comprehensive management of agri-food waste, resulting in increased fertilizer efficiency and reduced environmental impact from poultry farms. The organic-mineral fertilizers made from slaughterhouse waste and poultry manure have been proven to be as effective as expensive commercial mineral fertilizers, and they also help reduce production costs.

Summary: The alcoholic off-flavor disorder is a common and undesirable postharvest physiological disorder in fresh fruits. It is caused by the overproduction and accumulation of ethanol metabolism-related metabolites. Various inducing factors, such as anaerobic respiration, low O-2 stress, high CO2 stress, and storage temperature stress, are associated with the upregulation of ethanol metabolism in fruits. This paper reviews the significant causes and key metabolic and physiological mechanisms in boosting ethanol metabolism and discusses measures taken to control the disorder in fresh fruits.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of different emulsifiers on the properties of meat-based sugar-snap cookies. It was found that diacetyl tartaric acid ester of mono- and diglycerides (DATEM) improved the storage modulus, expansion, hardness, and gelatinization characteristics of the cookies. Low-field magnetic resonance analysis showed a high water holding capacity in DATEM samples, indicating strong interaction with starch-protein molecules. Scanning electron microscopy revealed a dense and uniform structure in DATEM-containing samples. Overall, DATEM proved to be an effective emulsifier for improving the physio-chemical, structural, and pasting properties of meat-based cookies.

Summary: This study investigates the variations in lipid digestion profiles among individuals of different ages using in vitro digestion models. The findings suggest that adults have a more comprehensive lipid digestion compared to infants, and infants tend to release shorter chain length and more saturated free fatty acids during digestion. Additionally, the particle sizes in the stomach of the elderly were consistently larger. This study enhances our understanding of how lipids with different degrees of unsaturation undergo digestion in diverse age groups.

Summary: This study investigated the acidification of aroma-enhanced black tea during storage. Analysis of non-volatile substances and organic acids using UPLC-Q-TOF/MS and HPLC revealed a decrease in soluble sugars and amino acids, while an increase in organic acids such as oxalic acid, malic acid, and quinic acid. In vitro experiments further demonstrated that the acidification is a result of the decomposition of sugars and amino acids by heating, as well as the oxidation of aromatic aldehydes. Additionally, the study showed that the taste composition of tea infusion is altered, with reduced amino acids, catechins, soluble sugars, and flavonoids. This research provides a theoretical basis for improving the quality of black tea.
