Summary: The impact of heat pump dehumidifier drying (HPD) on the sensory qualities of shiitake mushroom was evaluated in comparison with hot air drying (HAD) and vacuum freeze drying (VFD). The results showed that HPD substantially improved the characteristic flavors of dried mushrooms by inhibiting enzymatic and Maillard reactions. The rehydration, shrinkage, and microstructural characteristics of HPD mushrooms were intermediate between VFD and HAD mushrooms. Sensory quality analysis indicated that HPD mushrooms had better overall quality. Furthermore, HPD had significantly lower energy consumption than HAD and VFD. In conclusion, HPD is a commercially attractive low-energy technique for producing high-quality dried shiitake mushrooms.

Summary: This study examined the physicochemical characteristics and storage stability of hybrid beef patties with different levels of shiitake mushroom addition. The results showed that incorporating shiitake mushrooms improved the water holding capacity and reduced cooking loss of the patties, but had a negative impact on sensory properties and storage stability. These findings suggest that shiitake mushrooms can be added to beef to produce hybrid patties, but the amount used should be carefully considered.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of the non-antibiotic pharmaceutical carbamazepine on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during anaerobic digestion. The results showed that carbamazepine induced the enrichment of ARGs and increased the abundance of bacteria carrying these genes. It also facilitated microbial aggregation and intercellular communication, leading to an increased frequency of ARGs transmission. Moreover, carbamazepine promoted the acquisition of ARGs by pathogens and elevated their overall abundance.

Summary: This paper developed a machine learning model to predict the biochemical methane potential during anaerobic digestion. Model analysis identified lignin content, organic loading, and nitrogen content as key attributes for methane production prediction. For feedstocks with high cellulose content, early methane production is lower but can be improved by prolonging digestion time. Moreover, lignin content exceeding a certain value significantly inhibits methane production.
