Summary: This paper discusses the method of determining the total tin content in waters with different salinity. The paper proposes using ICP-spectrometric analysis with hydride generation to eliminate matrix effect and reduce detection limit. The analysis scheme successfully determines the total content of inorganic and organic forms of tin in sea waters, with results of 0.17 mu g/L and 0.24 mu g/L in the Azov and Black seas, respectively.

Summary: Oat milk tea can curdle when mixed with tea, affecting consumer acceptability. This study investigated the stability and polyphenol bioaccessibility of oat milk tea model systems. The addition of green tea extract influenced stability, with higher fat content resulting in greater stability. Tea polyphenols were stable in oral and stomach digestion stages but degraded in the small intestine stage. The bioaccessibility of tea polyphenols was higher in high-fat oat milk tea models, especially at low green tea extract concentrations.

Summary: This work describes the development of microwave-assisted digestion methods for the determination of Cu and Sn in antifouling paints by ICP OES. The optimal conditions were determined by optimizing factors such as sample mass and solutions of HNO3, HF, and HCl. The microwave digestion-assisted ICP-OES method showed better performance compared to dry ashing with a muffle furnace and laser ablation-ICP-MS.

Summary: Plant polyphenols are health-promoting compounds that have the potential to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, but their bioavailability is low. Encapsulation technology improves their stability, with preparation techniques and material types being key factors. This review summarizes recent studies on the evaluation of bioaccessibility of plant polyphenols and their micro- or nanocapsules using in vitro gastrointestinal models, and highlights the bioaccessibility of encapsulated plant polyphenols in food products.

Summary: Polyphenol-rich purple rice has been found to have various health benefits, including antioxidant activity. This study investigated the effect of gastrointestinal digestion on the bioaccessibility and antioxidant activity of purple rice. The results showed a significant difference in bioaccessible phenolic content and antioxidant activity between gastric and intestinal digestion. However, the number of bioaccessible polyphenols decreased after digestion, but significant free radical scavenging activity was still retained due to the bioaccessibility of bioactive compounds such as tryptophan and protocatechuic acid.

Summary: This study investigated the total, gastric, and gastro-intestinal concentrations of Cu, Mn, Fe, and Zn in eight fruit and vegetable samples. The results showed that Mn and Zn had the highest bioaccessible values among all the samples, while the values for Cu were significantly lower. Statistical analysis methods such as correlation analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), and cluster analysis (CA) were used to examine the relationships among the total, gastric, and gastro-intestinal element concentrations.

Summary: The use of weight loss herbal preparations is increasing due to the consumption of high-calorie junk food. However, the regulations governing the quality control of these products may be minimal. This study investigated the elemental contents in these products and found that some macro-elements were present at safe levels, while some micro-elements and other elements showed concerning levels. Stricter surveillance of herbal products is necessary.

Summary: The effect of deep-frying and air-frying on the stability and release of phenolic compounds in red-skinned onions was evaluated using high-resolution mass spectrometry. Both frying methods increased the total phenolic compounds, with air-frying showing a more significant increase (47.4% vs 18.6%). Quercetin was the most abundant phenolic compound in raw and air-fried samples, while deep-fried onion had higher levels of quercetin-4'-O-glucoside and quercetin-3-O-glucoside-4'-O-glucoside. After digestion, air-fried onion had the highest concentration of bioaccessible phenolic compounds. Oxidative degradation and hydrolysis reactions of quercetin-hexosides occurred during digestion. Air-frying is a healthier cooking method that preserves and releases the health-promoting compounds in onions after digestion with lower levels of fats and toxic compounds compared to deep-frying.

Summary: This study determined the bioaccessibility and prebiotic potential of the polyphenols in freeze-dried elderberry powder, as well as its antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. The results showed that the most significant phenolic compounds in elderberry are anthocyanins, which have high antioxidant activity. The extract exhibited the highest antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, with the lowest minimum inhibitory concentration observed for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The polyphenols also positively influenced the cell growth of five probiotic strains, with the greatest effect observed at 1.5% concentration on L. casei.

Summary: The objective of this study was to isolate the cyanopeptide microcyclamide produced by the strain Microcystis aeruginosa LTPNA 08 and evaluate its acute toxicity in embryos of Danio rerio. The microcyclamide caused lethality in 62% of the embryos after 96 h exposure, with evidence of cardiotoxicity. The characterization of cyanobacterial secondary metabolites and the investigation of their toxicity are important for identifying substances that have negative effects on organisms and ecosystems.

Summary: An analytical method using atomic absorption spectrometry coupled to hydride technique with ultrasound assisted acidic extraction was developed for determination of inorganic arsenic species in retorted oil shale slurry. Trivalent arsenic was measured after sample stabilization and reaction with a reducing agent, while total inorganic arsenic was assessed by the pre-reduction of As(V) to As(III) and the difference in concentration between total inorganic arsenic and As(III). The limit of quantification was 3.7 mg kg(-1) for As(III) and 1.3 mg kg(-1) for itAs.

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.

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.
