Summary: White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is a lethal virus in shrimp aquaculture, with Chinese shrimp being more susceptible to infection. Currently, there is no effective solution to the WSSV problem in Chinese shrimp aquaculture. Research shows that different individuals from the same family can carry varying viral loads after WSSV infection. Transcriptomic analysis revealed differentially expressed genes related to binding function and the extracellular matrix-receptor interaction pathway, suggesting their importance in the anti-WSSV processes in Chinese shrimp.

Summary: The influence of hydrogen gas modified atmosphere packaging (H2 MAP) on the preservation of dried shrimp during accelerated storage was assessed. The results showed that H2 MAP maintained the initial sensory quality of dried shrimp and slowed down lipid oxidation and total volatile base nitrogen content. Non-targeted metabolomics analysis revealed a down-regulation of purine metabolism under 0.1% H2 MAP, which correlated with lower contents of hypoxanthine, guanosine, and inosine. Therefore, H2 MAP was shown to have potential for delaying the deterioration of dried shrimp during accelerated storage.

Summary: Hatchery programs are commonly used to enhance fishery stocks, but minimizing ecological impacts is also important. This study evaluated the trade-off between economic profits and ecological impacts of the hatchery program for Fenneropenaeus chinensis in China. The results showed that predation pressure was high during the first 2 weeks for artificially released individuals. Economic profit peaked at 198 million individuals released. A temporally uniform hatchery release was more efficient in the long term. F. chinensis had negative impacts on large predatory fishes, and reducing fishing pressure could mitigate these impacts.

Summary: Different WSSV-binding proteins were found in granular hemocytes and hyalinocytes of Fenneropenaeus chinensis. Granular hemocytes showed stronger WSSV-binding activity and higher positive rate post-infection compared to hyalinocytes, indicating their increased susceptibility to WSSV. A total of 9 WSSV-binding proteins were identified, with 3 proteins shared between both cell types and 6 proteins unique to granular hemocytes, suggesting distinct interactions between WSSV and different hemocyte subpopulations.

Summary: The study aims to investigate the potential roles of ion-transport related genes and water channels in the Chinese shrimp's response to high-salinity stress. The results showed that the expression levels of these genes were significantly decreased in the post-larvae shrimp after 3 hours of high-salinity exposure. The genes were also down-regulated in the gills of adult shrimp under high-salinity stress, indicating their cooperation in reducing cellular water efflux and ion uptake or excretion.

Summary: Artificial propagation and release of Chinese shrimp have been developed to supplement wild stocks and improve economic profit. The study shows that hatchery-released juvenile shrimps can survive in the natural environment and contribute to the replenishment of the wild population. Genetic analysis suggests potential homogenization and inbreeding effects on the local population, emphasizing the need for appropriate strategies in fishery management.

Summary: Among various organic wastes, shrimp shell powder was found to be the most suitable carbon/nitrogen source for producing antinematode compounds via Bacillus veleznesis RB.EK7 fermentation. The study optimized the fermentation process and identified two novel antinematode compounds. These compounds exhibited potential nematicidal effects and showed inhibition of the acetylcholinesterase enzyme.

Summary: This study analyzed the volatile fingerprints of colored highland barley (CHB) roasted at different temperatures using E-nose and HS-GC-IMS. The results showed that roasting changed the volatile smells, color, and composition of CHB. Pyrazines were identified as the markers for roasted CHB (RCHB). The volatiles could easily distinguish between raw CHB and RCHB, but not between CHB roasted at different temperatures. Roasting also caused changes in color characteristics and CHB constituents, with variations depending on the cultivar.

Summary: This study investigated the anti-aging activities of Lonicera japonica polysaccharides (LJPs) and revealed their mechanism of action. LJPs were found to prolong the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans, improve its fitness, reduce lipofuscin accumulation, and activate stress-related genes and antioxidant system. These effects were mediated by the DAF-16 pathway.

Summary: This study investigated the physicochemical and structural characteristics, digestibility, and lipolysis inhibitory potential of highland barley resistant starches (HBRSs) prepared by different modifications. The results showed that the resistant starch content of native starch significantly increased after modifications. HBSP displayed the highest crystallinity, while HBSA and HBSM had a high degree of the amorphous region. HBSP exhibited the lowest digestibility and HBSM showed the highest inhibitory activity on lipolysis. These findings provide insights into the development of functional food from highland barley native starch.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the brewing characteristics, physicochemical components, and antioxidant activities of colored highland barley (CHB) roasted at different times. The results showed that the CHB roasted at 6.0 min had higher releases of beta-glucan but lower antioxidant activities, while CHB roasted at 9.0 min and 12.0 min had better leaching of total sugar, protein, polyphenols, flavonoids, and free amino acids, and higher antioxidant activities. These findings suggest that the roasted CHB infusions have potential as candidates for cereal beverages and functional foods.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in physicochemical characteristics, digestibility, and lipolysis inhibitory potential of blue highland barley resistant starches (BHRSs) produced by different modifications. Results showed that the amount of resistant starch in native starch increased significantly after modifications, with some variations among the BHRSs. BHSA and BHSM had higher swelling powers and water-binding capabilities, lower amylose contents and solubilities compared to BHSI and BHSP. BHSP demonstrated the highest degree of crystallinity and crystalline region while BHSA and BHSM had a substantial proportion of the amorphous region. BHSA and BHSM showed the strongest inhibitory activities on lipolysis, while BHSP had the lowest digestibility. This study provided insights for developing modified native starch from blue highland barley as a functional food.

Summary: In this study, cross-linked modifications were used to promote the stability and functionality of native starch from colored highland barley. The physicochemical characteristics, digestibility, and lipolysis inhibitory potential of the cross-linked starches were assessed. The results showed that citric acid modification resulted in higher solubility, swelling power, and water-binding capacity, while STMP/STPP modification led to higher crystalline patterns. Moreover, the effects of cross-linking modifications on the functionality of starches varied among different cultivars.
