Summary: Advancements in rootstock breeding and selection have revolutionized apple cultivation worldwide. The impact of different rootstocks on triterpene concentration in apple fruit is still not well understood. This study evaluated triterpene profiles and composition in apple fruit grown on various rootstocks. The findings suggest that matching cultivars with suitable rootstocks can result in larger quantities of high-quality, antioxidant-rich, and nutritionally valuable fruit.

Summary: Nanoparticles have small size, high surface activity, and antibacterial and antioxidant properties, making them widely used in the food industry. However, their migration from the environment to food increases the exposure risk to humans. Carbon-based NPs, nanoselenium NPs, and rare earth oxide NPs are three emerging NPs that are commonly used in the food industry. The potential risk mechanisms and absorption pathways of NPs into the human body are discussed.

Summary: We conducted a survey on caterers with and without past hygiene violations to investigate their staffing, food safety practices, and correlations with microbial counts in food and the processing environment. The study found that past infringements did not have a negative impact on the current execution of food safety measures or the microbial quality of food. Instead of imposing stricter regulations on errant operators, alternative efforts to enhance food safety and their policy implications are discussed.

Summary: The scientific method requires studies with high internal and external validity. Triangulating mechanistic and real-world evidence studies can enhance scientific inference by providing supporting evidence for both. In this study, a combination of tightly controlled laboratory studies and pharmacoepidemiological studies of real-world data helped uncover the risk of tympanic membrane perforations from otic quinolone therapy.

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: Chitosan-pectin emulsion-filled hydrogel (EFH) was developed to enhance the bioaccessibility of lipophilic bioactive compounds through intestinal delivery. The EFH, prepared without crosslinking agents, demonstrated improved mechanical strength and compactness with higher pectin concentration. It retained the emulsion at pH 2.0 and released it at pH 7.4, resulting in enhanced release of free fatty acids and improved bioaccessibility of curcumin.

Summary: Horse's milk, with its high nutritional value and low allergenic proteins, could be a substitute for cow's milk in infant consumption. A proteomic method was used to identify and compare milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) and whey proteins from different horse breeds. The study found differences in protein composition and functionality, which could support the development of formulas more suitable for human infants.

Summary: This study successfully improved the ACE inhibitory activity of black sesame seeds by fermenting them with Lactobacillus Plantarum NCU116 and hydrolyzing them using acid protease. The RF-PSO model was used to predict the ACE inhibitory activity during the hydrolysis process. Eight peptides with ACE inhibitory activity were identified from fermented black sesame seed hydrolysates after separation and screening.

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.
