Summary: Barley is an important cereal crop used for animal feed and human consumption. Its grains are rich in phenolic compounds, which have health-promoting antioxidant properties. Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) were optimized and compared to determine the antioxidant power and phenolic compound levels of barley extracts. The solvent composition and its interaction with temperature were found to be the most significant variables. Both methods showed short extraction times, high precision, and good recoveries. Significant differences in phenolic compounds and antioxidant power were observed among different barley varieties, with MAE being slightly more efficient than UAE in terms of phenolic compound extraction.

Summary: This study measured the efficiency, total anthocyanin content (TAC), and total phenol content (TPC) of pomegranate peel powder (PPP) extract using different extraction methods, and investigated the characteristics of nanoencapsulated extracts with maltodextrin (MD)/Lepidium perfoliatum (Qodume Shahri) seed gum. The highest extraction efficiency was observed in solvent ethanol-water extraction (SEWE) (76.35%), while the lowest was in solvent ethanol extraction (SEE) (25.73%). Microwave extraction (ME) and ultrasound extraction (UE) methods resulted in the highest and lowest TAC (4.00-0.35 mg C3G/g PPP) and TPC (702.13-232.58 mg GAE/100 g sample) values, respectively. The efficiency of nanoencapsulation and the particle size distribution were influenced by the type and amount of extractive compounds in the extract.

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.
