Summary: This study investigated the effects of different cold plasma treatment conditions on the lipid oxidation kinetics of tilapia fillets. The results showed that increasing the voltage and prolonging the treatment time of cold plasma could enhance the oxidation of lipids in the fillets. The analysis also revealed that the primary lipid oxidation of tilapia was more sensitive to the treatment conditions of cold plasma compared to secondary oxidation.

Summary: Every year, a large amount of food is wasted during transportation due to the inability to keep them fresh for a long time, resulting in significant food and economic losses. The use of phase change technology for cold energy storage, with its stable temperature and high energy storage density, shows great potential in the field of cold chain logistics. A new form-stable cold energy storage phase change material (FCPCM) was developed, using ice as the phase change component and a polyether-based three-dimensional network as a skeleton. This FCPCM demonstrated excellent thermal properties and durable cold-insulation performance, making it a promising material in cold chain logistics for enhancing food quality and safety.

Summary: The development of phase change models is limited by the metastable or partially stable behavior of the fluid, which hinders phase change even after crossing saturation conditions. Existing liquid-vapour phase change models are mainly applicable to the cavitation process or equilibrium conditions. This paper discusses the mechanism of phase change and reviews three different computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-based phase change methods, highlighting their limitations and the need for better approaches.

Summary: This study proposed a universal physical law to interpret the adsorption and transport of PFAS in geomedia. Novel models based on this law successfully simulated PFAS adsorption kinetics and transport processes, demonstrating the feasibility of the models and discussing their adaptability to capture PFAS transport in more complex geomedia.

Summary: The study investigated the metabolic fates of MCT in healthy individuals using a C-13-labeled MCT tracer. Results showed that when provided as single energy source, 42% of MCT was converted to CO2, while in combination with carbohydrates and proteins in the diet, oxidation of MCT was higher at 62%. Furthermore, less than 1% of C-13-label was incorporated in LCFA in plasma, indicating that administered MCT underwent chain-elongation to LCT.

Summary: In this study, we investigated the effect of cold stress on the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) in glial cells. We found that cold exposure led to a partial disassembly of the 26S proteasome, as well as a decrease in 20S proteolytic activity and an increase in polyubiquitinated proteins. We also observed the relocation of the Rpt5 subunit of the 19S proteasome to cold-stable microtubules, which was influenced by the expression of the microtubule-associated protein MAP6 and the post-translational acetylation of alpha-tubulin. This reversible association may play a role in maintaining the functionality of the proteolytic complex during cold stress.

Summary: This study examined the stability of global DNA (hydroxy)methylation under different storage conditions and found that these markers can be stable for up to 18 months under specific conditions. DNA samples showed more stability in global DNA hydroxymethylation compared to blood, and freeze-thaw cycles did not significantly affect the stability of methylation and hydroxymethylation.

Summary: Cold chain logistics is crucial for the storage and transportation of perishable products. The application of phase change materials (PCMs) in emerging cold chain logistics addresses the issues of low stability, high energy consumption, and high cost in traditional mechanical refrigeration systems. The proposed self-repairing brine phase change gels (BPCMGs) exhibit superior thermophysical properties, including high form stability, latent heat, thermal conductivity, cyclic stability, and self-repairing rate.

Summary: Warmer temperatures lead to higher incorporation of 18-oxygen in proteins of E. coli K12, but the absolute correlation with temperature is not significant, possibly due to the synthesis of different proteins, such as those related to cold stress response, at low temperatures. The quantity (RIA and LR) and quality (absolute number of peptides with incorporation and their function) must be considered to fully understand the activity of microbial communities.

Summary: The COVID-19 outbreaks indicate that cold chains may contribute to the spread of SARS-CoV-2. This study used high-energy electron beam irradiation to effectively inactivate PEDV, a surrogate virus for SARS-CoV-2, under cold chain conditions. The results showed that high-energy E-beam irradiation rapidly and effectively inactivated PEDV, suggesting it as a promising technology for disinfecting SARS-CoV-2 in cold chain logistics.
