Summary: GC-TOF/MS and GC x GC-TOF/MS were used to detect VOCs in coffee samples of three different brands at different states. The results showed that most VOCs existed in 2-3 kinds of coffee, and the VOCs detected by GC-TOF/MS could distinguish the coffee samples in different states. GC x GC-TOF/MS was suitable for the identification and differentiation of different brands of coffee samples. Pyridine, pyrrole, alcohols, and phenols contributed greatly to distinguishing coffee in three states, and alcohols greatly contributed to distinguishing the three brands of coffee.

Summary: This study investigated the use of ice glazing containing D-sodium erythorbate (DSE) and vacuum packaging to maintain the quality of large yellow croaker during frozen storage. The results showed that vacuum packaging effectively inhibited ice crystal growth and minimized water loss, while the combination of vacuum packaging and 0.3% DSE-infused ice glazing maintained freshness indicators at low levels throughout the 300-day storage period. This combination was considered the most effective in preserving the quality of the fish.

Summary: This study investigated the transport and hypoglycemic effects of phenolics in mulberry leaves using an in vitro digestion model. The results showed that digested phenolics had higher absorbability and could inhibit glucose digestion and absorption. Phenolics also regulated glucose metabolism. Luteoforol and p-coumaric acid were found to be the primary phenolics strongly correlated with the hypoglycemic ability of mulberry leaves.
