Summary: Postharvest LED illumination is an emerging technique for preserving plant commodities that is non-chemical and residue-free. Different wavelengths of LED illumination have been found to improve the nutritional value of vegetables, stimulate antioxidant enzyme activity, reduce membrane damage, and maintain membrane integrity. Furthermore, LEDs can effectively inactivate foodborne pathogens. Therefore, LED lighting with different wavelengths is an excellent alternative for preserving safe and nutritious fresh vegetables.

Summary: We report an n-type In0.53Ga0.47As based Gunn light emitting diode operated at around 1.6 mu m. The device structure comprises of an n-type In0.53Ga0.47As epilayer with a thickness of 5 mu m grown by Metal Organic Vapour Phase Epitaxy (MOVPE) on a semi-insulating InP substrate and fabricated in a planar architecture with a stepped structure at anode side to suppress the destructive effect of high built-in electric field in propagating Gunn domain. Gunn diode is operated under pulsed voltage with a pulse width of 60 ns and pulse duration of 4.5 ns to keep the duty cycle as low as 0.0013%. The Gunn oscillations with an 1 ns period are observed at around 4.1 kV/ cm, which corresponds to the electric field threshold of Negative Differential Resistance (NDR). The light emission at around 1.6 mu m also starts at the threshold electric field of the NDR region (E = 4.2 kV/cm) of the current-voltage curve, and the emission intensity increases drastically with increasing applied electric field. The observed light emission at NDR threshold electric field where Gunn oscillations appear on the voltage pulse is attributed to the impact ionisation process occurring in the current domains along the sample, which generates excess carriers to initiate the band-to-band recombination in In0.53Ga0.47As.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of different cooling methods on the quality and shelf-life of broccoli. It was found that hydrocooling removed field heat faster than forced-air cooling or slushed-ice cooling. Broccoli cooled by slushed-ice was softer and had higher head deformation. The overall appearance of the broccoli decreased during storage, especially if infected by the fungal pathogen. The 'Eastern Crown' cultivar had a higher quality rating compared to the 'Marathon' cultivar at the end of storage.

Summary: The study shows that combining an organic light-emitting display (OLED) device with an advanced optical film can achieve highly enhanced light extraction and low ambient light reflection without the need for a polarizer. The optical efficiency of the OLED device with the proposed film has been significantly improved compared to a polarizer-based OLED device, with external light reflection reduced to approximately 10%. Experimental data confirms that the film for enhancing optical efficiency (FEOE) improves the overall optical efficiency of OLED devices, making FEOE-based OLEDs of significant interest in materials science and display devices.

Summary: Flavonoids have beneficial biological activities for human health, mainly exerted in the intestine due to low bioavailability. They can modulate the structure of intestinal microorganisms to improve health, and the changes in gut microbes are associated with the development of depression, which can be significantly improved through the gut-brain axis. Therefore, the interaction between flavonoids and intestinal microbes in alleviating depression is discussed.

Summary: The influence of mannose treatment on mitochondrial physiological parameters was investigated to postpone broccoli senescence. The results showed that mannose treatment could reduce the level of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) to slow down the damage to its ultrastructure. Mannose inhibited malondialdehyde (MDA) accumulation and the decline of cytochrome c/a (Cyt c/a), and delayed the increase of mitochondrial membrane permeability.

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.
