Summary: Boletus edulis mushroom has an accumulating effect on Ag, Rb, Zn, and K, but not on toxic elements such as As, Pb, and Cr. However, the concentrations of Se and Cd are higher in the mushroom compared to substrate samples. Different elements have different mobilities within the mushroom, with Zn and Ag displaying the highest mobilities and Ti displaying the lowest.

Summary: This study investigated the occurrence, distribution, and associations of various elements in the inner and outer parts of Pachyma hoelen sclerotia in Southern China. The quality of forest and agricultural soil was found to be the main factor determining the occurrence of minerals in sclerotia. The concentration of elements was generally higher in the outer part compared to the inner part, except for silver. Additionally, there were different association patterns of elements in different morphological parts of the sclerotia. Further research should be conducted to assess the relationship between minerals and bioactive organic compounds produced by P. hoelen.

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: Chitosan-pectin emulsion-filled hydrogel (EFH) was developed to enhance the bioaccessibility of lipophilic bioactive compounds through intestinal delivery. The EFH, prepared without crosslinking agents, demonstrated improved mechanical strength and compactness with higher pectin concentration. It retained the emulsion at pH 2.0 and released it at pH 7.4, resulting in enhanced release of free fatty acids and improved bioaccessibility of curcumin.

Summary: Horse's milk, with its high nutritional value and low allergenic proteins, could be a substitute for cow's milk in infant consumption. A proteomic method was used to identify and compare milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) and whey proteins from different horse breeds. The study found differences in protein composition and functionality, which could support the development of formulas more suitable for human infants.

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.
