Summary: This study evaluated the changes in flavor and chemical composition of orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) before and after cooking. It was found that the starch content decreased and the soluble sugar content increased after cooking. Baked OFSP had the highest sugar content and the best aroma due to the production of various volatiles. Steamed OFSP retained more carotenoids, but all carotenoids were reduced after cooking. Additionally, a large proportion of metabolites were well preserved after cooking. Overall, this understanding of chemical profile changes in OFSP after cooking provides a theoretical basis for its processing and application.

Summary: This study investigated the coloring mechanism and quality changes in a purple-fleshed sweet potato mutant. The results revealed that the lack of anthocyanin accumulation in the mutant was due to a mutation in the IbMYB1 gene. Furthermore, differences in starch and aromatic volatiles accumulation were also observed between the mutant and the wild type sweet potato.

Summary: This study examined the effects of baking, boiling, and steaming on yellow-fleshed sweetpotatoes (YFSP) in terms of taste, flavor, and chemical profile. Baked YFSP were found to be sweeter, more palatable, and more flavorful compared to steamed and boiled YFSP. Baking significantly increased the soluble sugar content and the presence of certain aroma compounds, while boiling retained more carotenoids. Despite cooking altering the YFSP, the bioactive substances were mostly preserved. These findings provide valuable insight for sweetpotato processing and consumer preference.

Summary: Vitamin A deficiency (VAD) in Low and Medium Income countries is a significant health concern. Orange sweet potato (OSP), as a biofortification solution by WHO, has a high provitamin A content. However, this high content can reduce dry matter and calorie value, and have adverse effects on consumers. This research used metabolomics and proteomics to study five different sweet potato phenotypes and found an indirect correlation between starch and carotenoids, as well as changes in cellular structures and metabolism in high beta-carotene producing sweet potato roots.

Summary: The study found that sterilization treatment with Symbivit increased the frequency of mycorrhiza in the root system of two sweet potato varieties, while there were differences in the intensity of mycorrhizal colonization in the root fragments and the arbuscular abundance between the mycorrhizal inoculum and the sterilization treatment among the varieties. Overall, the preliminary results provide valuable information on mycorrhizal inoculation and substrate sterilization on mycorrhizal development, as well as changes in physical parameters of sweet potato seedlings.

Summary: This study provides an overview of the compounds in sweet potato that contribute to its anti-diabetic activity and the mechanisms by which they act. A comprehensive literature search retrieved 269 articles, and after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 28 articles were selected for further review. The findings identified four varieties of sweet potato with potential anti-diabetic properties, and phenolic acids, flavonols, flavanones, and anthocyanidins were determined to be responsible for the anti-diabetic activity.

Summary: Crossflow microfiltration was used to enrich clementine/pink grapefruit juice in carotenoids, flavonoids and pectins, while modulating its sugar content with a diafiltration step. The process resulted in significant increases in bioactive compounds content and reduced sugar content, making it suitable for diabetic individuals. Modelling showed the ability to adjust the concentrate's sugar, flavonoids, carotenoids and pectin contents, which could be crucial for the biological activity of the citrus-based food.

Summary: This study investigated the genetic basis of the fruity aroma of modern Nacional cocoa and identified several association zones through GWAS studies. These zones are linked to the synthesis pathways of volatile compounds that contribute to fruity flavors and the fruity notes detected by sensorial analysis. Five metabolic pathways related to fruity traits were identified, and candidate genes involved in the biosynthetic pathways of volatile compounds were detected in the association areas.

Summary: High-pressure treatments combined with crossflow microfiltration were used to obtain citrus concentrates enriched in carotenoids. The results showed that ultra-high-pressure homogenization (UHPH) at 400 MPa significantly enhanced carotenoid bioaccessibility and uptake compared to conventional pasteurization. Combining crossflow microfiltration with UHPH increased the bioavailable carotenoid content in the final product by 4-6 fold compared to high hydrostatic pressure treatment (HHP) alone.

Summary: This study aimed to characterize the organoleptic quality of citrus concentrates obtained through crossflow microfiltration (CMF) and compare two different products. The results showed significant differences in aroma compound, sugar, and organic acid contents between the two concentrates. The concentrate without diafiltration was preferred by the sensory panel due to its sugar/acidity balance and better citrus-floral aroma profile. Retention of volatiles varied depending on the aroma compound, with terpene hydrocarbons being the most retained. Despite modifications to their organoleptic profiles, both citrus-based products were well rated and considered pleasant functional drinks.

Summary: Models of increasing complexity were developed to identify and represent mechanisms affecting the evolution of aroma compounds during coffee fermentation. The transfer of 2-phenylethanol was described by a model including evolving resistance over time, while the accumulation of isoamyl acetate and butanal was better described by a model including two first order reactions in parallel. The model development contributed to understanding mechanisms involved during fermentation such as evolutive parchment resistance and complex degradation reactions.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between volatile chemical composition and perceived flavor in 54 samples of dark chocolate made from Trinitario cocoa beans from the Dominican Republic. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to identify and quantify volatile compounds, and predictive models based on partial least squares regression (PLS) were developed to identify key compounds for predicting sensory attributes. Acetaldehyde, dimethyl sulfide, and 2,3-butanediol were identified as key predictors for various sensory attributes, while propylene glycol diacetate was suggested as a potential marker for red fruit aroma. The study demonstrates the potential of volatile compounds to accurately predict chocolate flavor potential.

The study reveals the diversity and origins of aromas in Ecuadorian fine cocoa, which could enrich cocoa flavor programs and provide new income opportunities for Amazonian communities. Furthermore, the research suggests that aroma formation in cocoa may be linked to defense reactions to fermentation-induced biotic and abiotic stresses.

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.
