Summary: This study aimed to explore the potential of using NIR spectroscopy and aquaphotomics to quantify common dietary fatty acids and fat content in cow's liquid milk. The results showed improved quantification accuracy when focusing on the 1600-1800 nm spectral region, with good predictions for certain fatty acids. Influential variables in regression models highlighted the importance of water-FAs interaction for self-organization into different assemblies.

Summary: This study aimed to use near-infrared spectroscopy to determine the concentrations of amino acids and crude protein in soybean. The results showed that the NIR models had acceptable predictive ability for crude protein and most amino acids, but were less accurate for Cys, Met, and Trp. The grinding process and lipid extraction improved the predictive ability of NIR spectroscopy. Additionally, the Fourier transformed NIR analyzer performed similarly to the diode array NIR analyzer.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of rearing diets on the fat and fatty acid content of Tenebrio molitor larvae and analyzed the composition using near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy. The results showed that a high fat content in the diet reduced larval growth and weight gain, and there was a correlation between the fatty acid content of the larvae and the rearing diet. Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy accurately predicted fat and fatty acid content.

Summary: By analyzing the milk constituent profiles of cows with different calcium dynamics, we found significant differences in the milk composition, particularly in fatty acids, between normocalcemic cows and other calcium dynamic groups. This suggests that Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopic analysis of milk may be a useful tool for identifying cows with unfavorable calcium dynamics.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using mid-infrared and visible/near-infrared spectroscopy to discriminate between organic and conventional bulk milk. The study found that both infrared regions performed similarly in discriminating between the two types of milk, with moderate accuracy of the PLS-DA model possibly due to the similarity of the selected farms between both categories.

Summary: This study developed a fast method for determining the sugar contents in milk tablets using near-infrared spectroscopy. The quantitative analysis was done using a training set of laboratory-scale milk samples, resulting in successful predictions of sugar contents. However, the physical difference between the laboratory-scale samples and the real milk tablets affected the predictive performance, so calibration transfer methods were used. The developed NIR-chemometric model can accurately and instantly predict the sugar contents in real milk tablets.

Summary: The potential of handheld NIR and benchtop MIR spectroscopy for predicting antioxidant capacity, dry matter, and total phenolic contents in cayenne pepper was evaluated. The best-performing model for dry matter using NIR spectroscopy had high accuracy, exceeding previous results reported in the literature. The models for antioxidant capacity and total phenolic content did not perform well using NIR or MIR spectroscopy, indicating the need for further optimization in this area.

Summary: This study evaluates the environmental impacts and economic performances of beef production by analyzing data from commercial farms in Northern Italy over a 4-year period. The results show a high variability in environmental impacts and economic performances between farms and years, with a negative correlation between environmental and economic sustainability. Efficient production practices, including improvements in productive efficiency and feed self-sufficiency, are recommended to reduce environmental impacts and achieve good economic results in beef farms. Further research involving a larger farm sample and different production systems is needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: Combined results from two survey studies in North Italy provided information on fluid milk purchasers' preferences, fatty acid profiles, and milk quality attributes. The study found significant differences in fatty acid profiles between certified and noncertified milk, indicating that certification doesn't always guarantee higher quality. Consumers prioritized product origin, brand, expiration date, and process certification over price and organic certification when choosing milk.

Summary: In this study, advanced fingerprinting methodologies were used to explore the complex volatilome of maize silage samples preserved for 229 days and inoculated with different strains. The results revealed the production of a large number of esters due to the fermentation of short-chain fatty acids and alcohols. While one strain's fermentation had a minimal impact, the fermentation products of the other strain had distinctive characteristics.

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.
