Summary: The study characterizes rare earth elements and trace elements in five genera of deep-sea sponges collected in the North Atlantic. These sponges showed an increased accumulation of trace elements compared to other organisms, possibly influenced by volcanic activity. Additionally, a Light REE enrichment and a negative Ce anomaly were observed in all studied species, providing a baseline for future comparisons.

Summary: The study found that the concentration of lanthanides in L. edodes available in retail outlets in Poland and Germany in 2019 was exceptionally high, with a distribution pattern different from other mushrooms. Traditional patterns show the highest contribution from Ce and the dominance of even numbered lanthanides, but this rule is not observed in L. edodes.

Summary: Determining the geographic origin of farmed mussels is important for regulators and fishing industries to prevent fraud and ensure food safety. This study used stable isotope ratio analysis and trace element fingerprinting to trace the origin of mussels harvested from different regions. The results showed significant differences in the chemical signatures of mussels from different locations, and a classification method correctly assigned 97% of individuals to their harvest location. This method has potential applications in seafood traceability and food safety.

Summary: This study determined the contents of 38 elements in ready-to-eat baby food sold in Spain and estimated the dietary intakes and risk assessments of these elements in infants between 6 and 12 months old. Results showed that fish purees had the highest concentrations of mercury and arsenic. The levels of manganese, molybdenum, and chromium exceeded the adequate intake, particularly in store brands. The presence of these contaminants in food intended for infants, a sensitive population, highlights the importance of monitoring their levels.

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.
