Summary: In this study, single factor experiment was used to investigate the drying characteristics of carrot and banana slices under the conditions of EHD-hot air combined drying. The analysis included changes in moisture content on dry and wet basis, drying rate, dehydration rate, and rehydration rate. The results showed that the addition of EHD reduced drying time, energy consumption, and increased rehydration rate. The effect of EHD was more significant with higher initial moisture content. Data fitting confirmed the suitability of the Weibull model for EHD-hot air combined drying. The EHD device not only improved drying quality but also inhibited the growth of microorganisms, making it a promising technology for food drying applications.

Summary: The pyrolysis of food waste has the environmental advantage of waste management and renewable fuel production. Tea grounds have higher cellulose content and activation energy for pyrolysis compared to coffee grounds, leading to lower liquid product yield. The use of alkaline carbonates as catalysts increases bio-gas production, decreases bio-oil production, and enhances the volatile fraction of bio-oils.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the association between sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) intake, abdominal obesity, and inflammation in normal and prediabetic adults. The findings showed that individuals who consumed high sugar from SSBs had a 1.31-fold increased risk of developing prediabetes compared to non-SSB consumers. Among prediabetic adults, those who consumed a high amount of sugar from SSBs had a 1.57-fold higher risk of increasing CRP levels, even after adjusting for abdominal obesity. Furthermore, abdominal obesity strengthened the association between high sugar intake from SSBs and elevated CRP levels in prediabetic adults.

Summary: Although the relationship between human exposure to phthalates and asthma is not understood, this study found that higher levels of phthalate metabolites were associated with an increased risk of contracting asthma. Male asthma patients had higher levels of certain phthalate metabolites compared to controls, and each 10-fold increase in these levels corresponded to a significantly higher risk of asthma. In addition, higher urine levels of a specific phthalate metabolite were linked to increased risks of emergency room visits and hospitalization in asthma patients.

Summary: This study investigated the potential mediating role of BMI in the association between SSB intake and 25(OH)D. The findings suggest that high total sugar intake from SSB and BMI independently contribute to lower 25(OH)D, and BMI mediates the inverse association between total sugar intake from SSB and 25(OH)D. Furthermore, an increased risk of having vitamin D deficiency was found in the population who consumed higher levels of sugar from SSB or soda drinks.
