Summary: Lipidomics has rapidly grown in the past 20 years, leading to the need for guidelines to ensure high standards of data quality. The Lipidomics Standards Initiative aims to coordinate the development of best practice guidelines and shed light on the strengths, drawbacks, and pitfalls in the workflow of lipidomic analysis. This review does not provide step-by-step protocols but offers links and original publications for a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art practices in the field.

Summary: This study comprehensively evaluated the impacts of commercial roasting levels on the phenolic content and antioxidant potential of Arabica coffee beans. The results showed that light roasted beans had the highest phenolic content and antioxidant potential, followed by medium roasted beans. Additionally, dark roasted beans contained the highest amount of volatile compounds. These findings suggest that medium roasted coffee beans have relatively better nutritional value and organoleptic properties.

Summary: Sphingolipids are a class of lipids with diverse structures and biological functions, and have been proposed as potential biomarkers for cardiometabolic diseases. The current methods for quantifying sphingolipids have limitations in terms of sample pretreatment and volume. In this study, a simple and rapid method using methanol for plasma sphingolipid extraction was developed, and 37 sphingolipids from 8 classes were successfully quantified using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. This method showed good performance and was applied successfully in an epidemiological study.

Summary: This study used liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to differentiate between chicken meat and abdominal fat from different sources. Specific lipid markers were identified for different chicken breeds. A total of 209 lipid molecules were determined as marker candidates for abdominal fat and intramuscular fat authentication, with glycerophospholipids being the dominant class. Sphingolipids and PUFA-enriched glycerophospholipids were found in higher abundance in intramuscular fat, contributing to its unique flavor and nutritional value.

Summary: This study aims to compare the metabolomic profiles of infected and uninfected roots of different Psidium spp. to identify potential secondary metabolites for nematode control. The findings show that the plant metabolism of all three species undergoes alterations in response to the infection, particularly in terms of polar secondary metabolites. Interestingly, non-polar substances, including terpenes, were found in the resistant and immune species, suggesting their potential role as inhibitors of the nematode.

Summary: In this study, a filter paper-based urine collection kit was developed to facilitate specimen shipment, and liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) was used to determine Glc(4) and creatinine in dried urine on the filter paper. The results showed a good relationship between the urine samples on the filter paper and liquid urine samples, as well as between Glc(4) and creatinine. The reliability of the urine collection kit and analysis method to determine the PD biomarker Glc(4) was demonstrated by simulating real conditions through postal delivery.

Summary: This study developed a simple methodology using LC-HRMS for targeted quantitative analysis of Glc(4) combined with untargeted metabolic profiling, aiming to search for complementary biomarkers in Pompe disease. The results revealed several metabolites that were significantly altered in Pompe disease, including Glc(4), creatine, sorbitol/mannitol, L-phenylalanine, N-acetyl-4-aminobutanal, N-acetyl-L-aspartic acid, and 2-aminobenzoic acid. A panel of these metabolites improved sample class prediction compared to a single biomarker.

Summary: This study conducted a comprehensive investigation on kefiran from milk kefir, including characterization and quantification of its components, in silico assessment of pharmacokinetic and toxicological properties, and evaluation of acute toxicity in zebrafish. The results indicated that kefiran had low oral and intestinal absorption, poor solubility, low lipophilicity, and low permeability in MDCK and Caco-2 cells, as well as incapability to cross the blood-brain barrier. In silico toxicity assessment showed no structural alerts for kefiran. In zebrafish, a dose of 2,000 mg/kg kefiran did not cause significant alterations in the analyzed organs. Therefore, kefiran is considered to have an acceptable degree of safety for use in drug or functional food development.

Summary: The quality of cassava can be measured using NIR spectroscopy to determine the starch content and dry matter content. A model developed from different scanning methods and surface conditions was compared, and the accuracy of the model using selected wavelengths was assessed. The prediction accuracy was found to depend on the scanning method, with the horizontal spectra obtaining the highest accuracy. The CARS-PLSR method was considered appropriate for predicting starch content, and the BOSS-PLSR method for predicting dry matter content.

Summary: The production, marketing and consumption of grape juices have been constantly increasing in recent years due to consumers' search for products with proven health benefits. Brazilian data shows that grape juice produced from V. labrusca L. and hybrids has a lower soluble solids content, with more than half of the production falling between 14 and 16 degrees Brix. This suggests the need to re-discuss the 16 degrees Brix limit established by CXS 247-2005.

Summary: Turkey's geographical location and climate conditions are suitable for growing various fruit species, with apricots being the most famous. Local and foreign varieties differ significantly in terms of soluble solids and acid content. The low taste values in foreign varieties are mainly due to their genotypic structure and early harvest. There are also differences in the main sugars and acid content among different apricot varieties.
