The paper presents the results of spectroscopic studies of 4-([1,2,4] triazolo[4,3-a] pyridin-3-yl)-6-methylbenzene-1,3-diol (TPBD), which indicate that the molecular organization of the compound is altered in different solvents and at different concentrations. The results were obtained from two solvents: methanol and propan-2-ol. Methanol represents a group of solvents in which monomers are the predominant molecular form of TPBD. Propan-2-ol belongs to a group of solvents in which TPBD additionally forms aggregates (dimers or N-aggregates). At concentration C-0 = 0.05 x 10(-3) M, TPBD has a monomeric form in Mt-OH and an additional dimeric form in Pr-OH. Circular dichroism (CD) and resonance light scattering (RLS) spectra revealed predominance of aggregated TPBD forms already at low concentrations of the compound in the methanol solvent. In turn, monomeric and dimeric forms of the compound dominated at low concentrations in propan-2-ol. Formation of additional dimers or N-aggregates in propan-2-ol was observed only at high concentrations of the compound (C-10 = 1.36 x 10(-3) M-C-20 = 4.90 x 10(-3) M). The presence of monomers and dimers in the Pr-OH solution yielded two bands (at 408 and 502 nm, respectively) in the fluorescence emission spectrum. Additionally, it was found that dimeric molecular form was characterized by reduction of the amplitude-weighted average fluorescence lifetimes in comparison with the monomeric form.

Jakub W. Strawa, Katarzyna Jakimiuk, Bozena Pawlikowska-Pawlega, Wieslaw Gruszecki, Justyna Kapral-Piotrowska, Adrian Wiater, Michal Tomczyk

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the interaction, location, and influence of flavonoids isolated from two plant species on model lipid membranes. The results showed that these compounds incorporated into the polar head region or water/membrane interface of the lipid membranes. They affected the ester carbonyl groups and caused reorganization of the polar zone of the liposomes. The NMR technique confirmed the locations of the compounds and revealed their modifying effect towards lipid membranes.

This study investigated the production of micronized raspberry powders and analyzed their molecular characteristics, sugar content, and biological potential. The results showed that micronization broke the intramolecular hydrogen bonds, increasing the content of simple sugars and phenolic compounds. Micronized powders had higher concentrations of ellagic acid derivatives and rutin, and exhibited increased antioxidant activity.

The photoprotective dilemma of a chloroplast: to avoid high light or to quench the fire?

Monika Zubik-Duda, Rafal Luchowski, Magdalena Maksim, Artur Nosalewicz, Piotr Zglobicki, Agnieszka Katarzyna Banas, Wojciech Grudzinski, Wieslaw I. Gruszecki

Summary: The safe and smooth functioning of photosynthesis in plants is ensured by various regulatory mechanisms, including chloroplast movements and quenching of electronic excitations. A study using fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy of Arabidopsis thaliana leaves found that these mechanisms operate over a wide range of light intensities. Impaired chloroplast movements do not affect photoprotection at the molecular level, indicating the one-way information flow from the photosynthetic apparatus to the cellular level. The presence of zeaxanthin is necessary and sufficient for the full development of photoprotective quenching in plants.

Sybilla Nazarewicz, Katarzyna Kozlowicz, Bozena Gladyszewska, Klaudia Rzad, Arkadiusz Matwijczuk, Zbigniew Kobus, Eva Ivanisova, Lubos Harangozo, Tomasz Skrzypek

Summary: This study investigates the impact of ultrasonic treatment as an alternative to traditional pasteurization on ice cream properties. A strawberry seed oil oleogel was added to the ice cream recipe as the fat component. Chemical composition and physical properties of the ice cream were analyzed, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used for molecular-level analysis. The ice cream treated with ultrasound showed higher dry matter and carbohydrate contents, lower fat content, higher freezing point temperature, and more frozen water compared to traditionally pasteurized ice cream. This study demonstrates that ultrasonic treatment can be a beneficial alternative in ice cream production.

How Do Xanthophylls Protect Lipid Membranes from Oxidative Damage?

Renata Welc-Stanowska, Rafal Pietras, Bohun Mielecki, Marcin Sarewicz, Rafal Luchowski, Justyna Widomska, Wojciech Grudzinski, Artur Osyczka, Wieslaw I. Gruszecki

Summary: In this study, the antioxidant activity of carotenoids in biomembranes was investigated. The quenching activity of lutein and zeaxanthin in singlet oxygen generation was measured in lipid vesicles using a fluorescent probe and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy. The results showed that xanthophylls act as a barrier to the penetration of molecular oxygen into lipid membranes, especially in the 13-cis configuration. This photoisomerization of xanthophylls is a regulatory mechanism important for light filtration and photoprotection.

Summary: The study compared the effects of vegetable oil-based and mineral oil-based preservatives on different types of wood, finding that the vegetable oil-based preservative was more susceptible to biodegradation and had less penetration into the wood structure compared to the mineral oil-based preservative. Both types of preservatives decreased the wettability of pine and oak wood while increasing the wettability of aspen wood. The vegetable oil-based preservative also exhibited better water absorption reduction in all types of wood, reducing the mass of soaked wood by 19.73-66.90%.
