Summary: The study found that the duration of dry salting affects the texture, color, water activity, and salt uptake of smoked salmon. There were differences in color and water activity between salmon stored in refrigerated seawater and ice during cold smoking. Drip loss and color changes were significantly influenced by processing steps.

Summary: This review focuses on the water holding properties of Atlantic salmon, evaluating the methods used to measure them and how pre- and postmortem factors, processing, and preservation methods influence these properties and their correlations to other quality parameters. Various methods are available to measure water holding capacity (WHC), with the centrifugation method being the most prevalent but other non-invasive and cost-effective approaches increasingly preferred. The diversity of methods makes direct comparison of results from previous research relative unless the same method is used with the same conditions.

Summary: Stretching or compressing hydrogels leads to alignment of embedded guest quadrupolar nuclear spins. This alignment generates residual quadrupolar coupling and oscillation of single quantum coherences during spin-echo experiments. By using Liouvillian superoperator approach, we provide analytical descriptions of rank-1, rank-2, and rank-3 SQCs' evolution trajectories. The insights gained from this study can be applied to more complex systems and anisotropic environments found in high-field NMR experiments and sodium magnetic resonance imaging.

Summary: A coil-based method was developed to obtain accurate sensitivity profiles in C-13 MRI at 3T from endogenous Na-23. A flexible coil array was designed and optimized for C-13 imaging, and the SNR performance was evaluated and compared to reference coils. The results show that the developed method can successfully accelerate the acquisition of hyperpolarized C-13 imaging, with slightly better SNR compared to other state-of-the-art coils.

Summary: By investigating the TBP-FeCl3 extraction system, it was found that the behavior of cations Li+, Na+, K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ in the extraction process varies, with LiCl having the strongest impact on P=O in TBP and FeCl4- being more readily formed in CaCl2 solution. Theoretical calculations and experiments were conducted to determine the extraction rules of mental ions and their interactions in the extraction process.

Summary: Atlantic salmon smolts are affected by disruptions during migration, which may have negative impacts on their survival in the marine environment. This study used PIT tagging to track smolts and found that those released downstream of a hydropower dam had a return probability of 0.091 +/- 0.0061 (+/- SE). The migration through a Kaplan turbine did not significantly reduce return rates, but being handled twice in a trap significantly lowered the return probability to 0.057 +/- 0.0079 (+/- SE). Therefore, caution should be exercised when using catch-mark-recapture methods to avoid stress-induced decreases in marine survival and biased population status estimates.

Summary: The life history of Atlantic salmon involves a migration from freshwater to marine environments, and the development of osmoregulatory systems, including Na+/HCO3- cotransporter 1 (Nbce1), is crucial for their survival. This study investigated the expression of three isoforms of Nbce1 in the gills and intestine of salmon. The results suggest that tissue-specific modulation of Nbce1 isoforms contributes to the adaptive responses to seawater exposure in salmon.

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: Chitosan-pectin emulsion-filled hydrogel (EFH) was developed to enhance the bioaccessibility of lipophilic bioactive compounds through intestinal delivery. The EFH, prepared without crosslinking agents, demonstrated improved mechanical strength and compactness with higher pectin concentration. It retained the emulsion at pH 2.0 and released it at pH 7.4, resulting in enhanced release of free fatty acids and improved bioaccessibility of curcumin.

Summary: Horse's milk, with its high nutritional value and low allergenic proteins, could be a substitute for cow's milk in infant consumption. A proteomic method was used to identify and compare milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) and whey proteins from different horse breeds. The study found differences in protein composition and functionality, which could support the development of formulas more suitable for human infants.

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.
