Summary: This study aimed to establish the optimal conditions for the extraction of phenolic compounds from Prunus spinosa L. fruits. The results showed that the highest values of phenolic compounds were obtained when the extraction was conducted in 50% ethanol at 60 degrees C for 30 min. The extraction of phenolic acids was enhanced at higher temperatures, while the flavonoid compounds degraded. The total phenolic content, total anthocyanin content, antioxidant capacity, and phenolic acid contents in the extracts were strongly correlated with ethanol concentration, temperature, and extraction time.

Summary: The study investigated the nutritional profile and nutraceutical composition of different hemp seed varieties, revealing significant effects of year on whole seeds compared to defatted seeds. Certain phenolic acids and lutein content were influenced by genotype, while the bound phenolics showed strong biological activities. The high concentration of N-trans-Caffeoyltyramine B in CS defatted seeds suggests its value in functional foods.

Summary: Plums have high levels of phenolic compounds and strong antioxidant activity. This study investigated the changes in appearance, internal quality, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant activities during fruit development of two main plum cultivars in Sichuan. The results showed that soluble solid and sugar contents were highest at maturity. Phenolic contents decreased as the fruits matured, while anthocyanin content increased in one of the cultivars. The peel had higher phenol, phenolic components, and antioxidant capacity than the pulp. Certain genes were found to be associated with the accumulation of phenolic substances. The study provides a theoretical basis for the development of bioactive substances in local plum cultivars.

Summary: The relationship between fruit position, ripening stage, and variety was examined in pepper plants, showing that capsaicin content was mainly influenced by genetics, while total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity were more affected by the ripening stage and fruit position. Ripening stage had a significant impact on various agronomic traits. Variety, fruit position, and ripening stage effects were more significant than interactions among these factors.

Summary: The study investigated the changes in nutritional composition, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant activity in free and bound fractions of shortcrust cookies by incorporating ingredients such as kamut, matcha tea, dried mango, and jasmine flowers. The contents of crude and neutral-detergent fibre, phenolic compound contents, and antioxidant activity values increased significantly in cookies supplemented with matcha tea. The main phenolic compounds identified in all supplemented cookies were neochlorogenic, gallic, and vanillic acids.

Summary: This study evaluated the phytochemical content and antioxidant activity in the inflorescences of six industrial hemp genotypes. The results showed that genotype, cropping year, and their interaction significantly affected the measured traits, with cropping year being the main source of variation. The dioecious genotypes demonstrated more consistent performance over the three years, with Fibrante showing the highest and most stable phytochemical content. Conversely, Santhica 27 had the lowest accumulation of phytochemicals, except for cannabigerol, which was found at its highest level in this genotype. These findings can guide breeders in selecting new hemp genotypes with improved phytochemical levels in their inflorescences.

Summary: This review focuses on the chemical composition, health benefits, and products derived from the pulps of Passiflora spp. over the last 5 years. Phenolic acids and polyphenols were among the major organic compounds found in the pulps of Passiflora spp. The fruits demonstrated antioxidant properties as well as inhibition of alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase enzymes. These findings indicate the potential use of Passiflora spp. in developing a variety of products, especially non-dairy beverages, to meet consumer demand for alternatives. Sensory analysis and in vivo tests are encouraged to further explore the development of pharmaceutical and food products with high value. Patents also show considerable interest in research and product development in various food technology areas, as well as biotechnology, pharmacy, and materials engineering.

Summary: Research has shown that inoculating AMF can increase sesame's tolerance to drought stress, improve yield, and enhance oil compositions. Severe drought stress significantly reduces yield and some nutrients content, but significantly increases the content of other substances. Overall, inoculating AMF is feasible for improving both the quantity and quality traits of sesame.

Summary: Understanding the molecular effects of salinity stress is essential for improving salt tolerance in Zea mays. This study combined phenotyping and transcript profiling to investigate genotype-specific differences in salt tolerance. The analysis identified unique transcripts and enriched processes related to salt tolerance in the tolerant genotype, suggesting that more efficient potassium uptake and different calcium ion response contribute to better ionic hemostasis and salt tolerance in this genotype.

Summary: The exogenous application of L-arginine has positive effects on the shelf life and quality of broccoli florets. It reduces electrolyte leakage and malondialdehyde content, while increasing chlorophyll and polyamine content. It also enhances the activity of arginase, L-arginine decarboxylase, and nitric oxide synthase enzymes. These findings suggest that arginine treatment can prevent postharvest damage and preserve the color and freshness of broccoli florets.

Summary: The study found that sunflower genotypes showed isolate-specific resistance to the Sclerotinia species at the seedling stage, with no genotype resistant to all fungal isolates. Some genotypes exhibited resistance to one isolate, while others showed resistance to multiple isolates of either S. sclerotiorum or S. minor. The expression level of pathogenesis-related 5 (PR5) protein in resistant genotypes indicated its potential involvement in resistance mechanisms.

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.
