Summary: This study introduces a method for simultaneous determination of fatty acids and fatty acid methyl esters using automated solvent-free solid-phase microextraction and isotope labeling in situ derivatization. Gas chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry with the chromatographic isotope effect and mass shift allows for selective differentiation of these two substance classes. The optimized derivatization conditions and standard addition calibration method provide accurate quantification of fatty acids and fatty acid methyl esters in different samples.

Summary: Native corn starch was modified by enzymatic debranching (ED), microwave assisted citric acid esterification (MCAE), and by dual ED/MCAE, resulting in starches with different structures and properties. The modified starches showed changes in morphology and crystalline regions, and MCAE treatment led to a new crystalline structure.

Summary: The objective of this study was to investigate the phytochemical profile of yellow and oriental mustard flour and bran fractions. The analysis revealed differences in volatile compounds and bioactive compounds between the two mustard species, with yellow mustard being richer in certain phenolic acids. Additionally, the volatile profile of yellow mustard seeds was described for the first time in this study. The findings suggest that the bran fraction, as a by-product of seed processing, is a valuable source of bioactive compounds for various applications.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in bone marrow fatty acids early after ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis in rats and explore their potential function. The results showed significant changes in bone marrow fatty acids in the early stage of postmenopausal osteoporosis, which may affect bone formation through the differentiation and function of osteoclasts or osteoblasts. The NOS/NO system may mediate the influence of eicosenoate on bone formation.

Summary: The effects of acid washing, torrefaction, and a combination of acid washing and torrefaction pretreatment on millet straw and millet bran were investigated. Acid washing pretreatment significantly affected the physicochemical properties of the materials, while torrefaction pretreatment had a significant effect on the fuel characteristics. The combination of acid washing and torrefaction pretreatment was found to improve the higher heating value and quality of bio-oil.

Summary: In this study, a microwave hot pressing machine was used to extract fixed oils from different seeds and compared with an ordinary electric hot pressing machine. The results showed that the microwave machine had higher extraction yield and did not cause significant changes in the physical and chemical properties of the oils. This indicates the great potential of microwave hot pressing machines in the industrial extraction of fixed oils.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the pulmonary toxicity of inhaled nanostructured aerosol of titanium dioxide (TiO2) between young and elderly rats. While there were differences in neutrophilic granulocytes influx and inflammation-related gene expression between the two age groups, slight variation was observed in physiological responses following TiO2 exposure. Age-related differences were mainly reflected in gene expression profiles, highlighting disrupted signaling pathways in rats based on their age.

Summary: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) pose an inhalation risk during their production or handling. The effects of two CNTs, one meeting the 'Fibre Paradigm' (FP) criteria and one not, were compared in this study. The results showed that the non-FP CNT caused persistent inflammation and hyperplasia in the lungs of rats, indicating the need for careful assessment of their health effects.
