‘Taro-like’ aroma is a pleasant flavor and value-added trait in pumpkin species imparted by unknown key volatile compounds. In this study, we used the electronic nose (E-nose), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS), and GC-Olfactometry (GC-O) to study the aroma profile, volatile compounds, and key contributors, respectively. By E-nose and GC–MS, we found significant differences in the aroma profiles and volatile compounds between fruits from five samples with/without ‘taro-like’ aroma. According to the analysis of differential volatile compounds obtained from GC–MS and the GC-O analysis of the sample with ‘taro-like’ aroma, we found that 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline representing the ‘taro’ odor was only identified in the sample with ‘taro-like’ aroma. Therefore, we conclude that 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline is the key contributor to the 'taro-like' aroma. Moreover, the relationship between 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline and ‘taro-like’ aroma was further verified via other pumpkin samples. Our results provide a theoretical basis for understanding the aroma characteristics of pumpkin fruit.

Rice paddy has been the main source of anthropogenic methane (CH 4 ) emissions, with significant variations among rice varieties. 2-Acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP) is the key component of the pleasant aroma in fragrant rice. Here, we show that fragrant rice is metabolically active in nitrogen assimilation and exhibits high levels of 2-AP and that CH 4 fluxes at the booting stage and cumulative emissions are 25.5% and 14.8% lower, respectively, in fragrant rice paddies compared with nonfragrant rice paddies. Three precursors involved in 2-AP synthesis—proline, glutamic acid, and ornithine—are identified as crucial nitrogen compounds that significantly promote CH 4 oxidation in the rhizosphere. Augmenting 2-AP synthesis, either through foliar spraying or by utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology to generate knockout lines of BETAINE ALDEHYDE DEHYDROGENASE 2 gene, effectively enhances CH 4 oxidation and reduces CH 4 fluxes. Our findings reveal that the 2-AP metabolic pathway coordinates the carbon/nitrogen cycle to improve nitrogen assimilation along with high 2-AP levels and mitigate CH 4 emissions in paddy ecosystems.

As an oral Janus kinase 1 inhibitor, upadacitinib shows good activity in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, especially for other drug-resistant and refractory rheumatoid arthritis patients. A key step in the synthesis of upadacitinib is the introduction of ethyl on the pyrroline ring. Here, a FeCl3/p-aminophenol catalyst system was used to increase the ethyl introduction for synthesis of pyrroline building blocks of upadaticinib. This catalytic system allows milder reaction conditions and increases the yield of this step by 25% compared to the existing reports, and the scale-up experiment is still effective. In addition, a possible FeII/FeIV catalytic mechanism for this reaction was also proposed.

The determination of 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP), which is an important flavour compound of crustaceans and has a low odour threshold of 0.05 μg/L in water, is still a challenge due to the instability and trace levels of 2-AP in food samples. In this study, 2-AP was trapped by o-phenylenediamine and subsequently purified by the dispersive solid-phase extraction and dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DSPE-DLLME) methods for HPLC–UV analysis. The developed method was simple, fast and sensitive for the determination of 2-AP in shrimp. Under the optimized DSPE-DLLME conditions, the developed method exhibited excellent linearity ( R 2 = 0.996) and a low limit of detection (LOD, 1.77 μg/kg) and limit of quantitation (LOQ, 5.33 μg/kg). The recoveries of 2-AP in shrimp ranged from 86.3 to 101.6%. In addition, the developed method was applied to detect 2-AP levels in baked shrimp (ranging from 5.6 to 12.6 μg/kg), indicating that the formation of 2-AP could be observed in thermally treated shrimp depending on heating temperature and time. In summary, the developed method has potential application for the trace determination of 2-AP in shrimp due to its convenience and high sensitivity.

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are potentially-hazardous chemical compounds, produced by the Maillard reaction between reducing sugars and Lysine side-chain amino groups in proteins. AGEs are strongly associated with diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and atherosclerosis. Pyrraline, a sugar derivative of Lysine, is a major AGE and an established marker for the presence of dietary AGEs. In this study, the effects of NaCl and different dipeptide and tripeptide structures were compared on the formation of pyrraline-containing peptides and the glucose derivative 3-deoxyglucosone in the presence of glucose and at different NaCl concentrations. The physicochemical properties (polarizability, dipole moment, molecular volume and dissociation constant) and the thermodynamic properties of the peptides were determined. The amount of the pyrraline decreased significantly in the following order of peptides (at the same concentrations): Lys-Phe > Lys-Ala > Lys-Gly; Lys-Gly-Phe > Lys-Gly-Ala > Lys-Gly-Gly. The highest levels of both pyrraline and 3-deoxyglucosone occurred at 0.2 mol/L Na+. Sodium ions appear to alter the intramolecular electron density and charge distribution of the peptides and facilitate the reaction by stabilizing some of the intermediates in the reaction sequence.

Indium phosphide quantum dots (InP QDs) have emerged as highly promising contenders for cadmium-based quantum dots , primarily due to their environmentally sustainable attributes. Early methods for synthesizing InP QDs employed tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphine and tris(dimethylamino)phosphine as phosphorus sources. However, the associated toxicity and hazards of these sources have hindered further progress. In this study, we introduce tripyrrolidine phosphine as a safe alternative phosphorus source. This source not only guarantees affordability, but also simplifies recycling and hazardous waste treatment processes. Simultaneously, precise regulation of the Zn precursor during the growth of the ZnS shell has enabled the synthesis of InP QDs of exceptional quality with a prominent emission peak at 525 nm, an impressive photoluminescence quantum yield of 76.11 %, and a narrow half-peak width of 37 nm. This achievement sets a significant precedent for the development of an environmentally friendly InP QD synthesis methodology. Furthermore, the incorporation of the QDs into white LEDs yields compelling outcomes, including color coordinates of (0.33, 0.30) and a measured correlated color temperature of 5637 K. Therefore, this study not only establishes an innovative path for InP QD production, but also drives their broader integration into the realm of white LED applications.

Lysine-derived advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), including Nε-carboxymethyllysine (CML), Nε-carboxyethyllysine (CEL) and pyrraline, are prevalent in processed foods. The impact of lipids on AGE formation is still contentious and most of our current knowledge is based only on CML. Little is known about how lipids impact the formation of CEL and pyrraline, or their involvement in formation pathways. This study investigated the effect of lipids (fatty acids and triglycerides) on the formation of CML, CEL and pyrraline simultaneously in model systems subjected to frying temperature. The results showed the presence of the lipids promoted the formation of CML, CEL and pyrraline. The promotion effects on CML and CEL were not dependent on the unsaturation degree and addition level (50, 100 or 150 μmol) of lipid, while pyrraline formation depended on lipid type (fatty acids vs. triglycerides) and level. The concentration of CML and CEL was statistically correlated with the concentration of glyoxal (GO) and methylglyoxal (MGO), respectively. The pyrraline concentration was statistically correlated with fructoselysine concentration. These results suggested that lipids promote the formation of lysine-derived AGEs by impacting the generation of Amadori products and α-dicarbonyl compounds. This information may be useful for optimizing the formulation and processing conditions to create tastier and healthier foods.

A kinetic model for Maillard reaction (MR) model system of d -glucose and l -lysine was established; activation energy ( Ea ) of each step was calculated. Potential generation pathways of furosine and pyrraline were a combination of either 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG) or methylglyoxal (MG) with l -lysine. Ea value for furosine generated through 3-DG pathway was 81.70 ± 14.01 kJ mol −1 , which was significantly higher than that through MG pathway (52.08 ± 4.48 kJ mol −1 ). As for pyrraline, Ea for the 3-DG pathway (53.45 ± 4.02 kJ mol −1 ) was significantly lower than that through the MG pathway (110.22 ± 18.77 kJ mol −1 ). Results of the kinetic study indicated that furosine was preferred to be generated through the MG pathway since MG is more likely to react with each other and form a furan ring as a precursor of furosine. Pyrraline was more easily to be generated from the 3-DG pathway through cyclization of 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds to pyrrole.

This study used the phase inversion method to prepare a novel ZnCdSe/ZnS quantum dot molecularly imprinted (ZnCdSe/ZnS@MIPs) polyethersulfone (PES) fluorescent composite (ZnCdSe/ZnS@MIPs@PES) membrane for the rapid detection of pyrraline (PRL). This membrane addressed the challenges presented by quantum dots molecularly imprinted polymers (QDs@MIPs) particles in liquids and required no pre-treatments during the analysis for accurate content determination at a low LOD. When the samples passed through the membrane via an automatic circulating filtration device, the PRL was specifically adsorbed due to the imprinted recognition sites on the ZnCdSe/ZnS@MIPs particles, causing membrane fluorescence quenching. Matrix-interfering components were removed for the porous structure of the membrane. Compared with the ZnCdSe/ZnS@MIPs solution method, the detection limit and accuracy of the ZnCdSe/ZnS@MIPs@PES membrane technique was significantly more successful in enhancing enrichment and purification functionality, reducing the analysis duration from 3 to 4 d to 45 min, while the operational procedure was decreased from 16 steps to two. When applied for PRL analysis in milk with 15% PES content and 6 mg ZnCdSe/ZnS@MIPs addition, the PRL was quantitatively detected in a broad concentration range (30–1000 μg/L) with R 2 =0.99. The LOD of ZnCdSe/ZnS@MIPs@PES membrane decreased at a higher sample injection volume, reaching a minimum of 18.1476 μg/L at 14 mL injection.

1-Pyrroline has a highly characteristic odor, which is employed by living organisms for chemical signaling and other purposes, but the mechanism whereby this odor is formed remains poorly understood. Here we used a combination of ambient mass spectrometry (AMS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to experimentally address the mechanistic aspects of 1-pyrroline volatility and other controversies regarding the chemistry of this compound. Our results indicate that in solution the volatility of the monomer species is significantly higher than that of the trimer species, and 1-pyrroline is evaporated mainly in its monomer state. Neat 1-pyrroline is essentially the pure trimer and displays ca. 100-fold lower evaporation rate than the monomer state in solution. In the gas-phase the trimer species is irreversibly decomposed into monomer species. Under equilibrium conditions the vapor of 1-pyrroline entirely consists of monomer species. The evaporation rate of 1-pyrroline in water has a step-wise dependence on the solution pH, the abrupt increase in volatility (>1,000-fold) occurring around the pKa value of 1-pyrroline (6.8). The pronounced step-wise dependence of 1-pyrroline volatility around neutral pH may also be an important evolutionary factor allowing living systems to regulate the odor strength from very weak to very strong with minimal efforts.

In recent years, pyclen-based complexes have attracted a great deal of interest as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents (CAs) and luminescent materials, as well as radiopharmaceuticals. Remarkably, gadopiclenol, a Gd(III) bishydrated complex featuring a pyclen-based heptadentate ligand, received approval as a novel contrast agent for clinical MRI application in 2022. To maximize stability and efficiency, two novel chiral pyclen-based chelators and their complexes were developed in this study. Gd-X-PCTA-2 showed significant enhancements in both thermodynamic and kinetic stabilities compared to those of the achiral parent derivative Gd-PCTA. 1H NMRD profiles reveal that both chiral gadolinium complexes (Gd-X-PCTA-1 and Gd-X-PCTA-2) have a higher relaxivity than Gd-PCTA, while variable-temperature 17O NMR studies show that the two inner-sphere water molecules have distinct residence times τMa and τMb. Furthermore, in vivo imaging demonstrates that Gd-X-PCTA-2 enhances the signal in the heart and kidneys of the mice, and the chiral Gd complexes exhibit the ability to distinguish between tumors and normal tissues in a 4T1 mouse model more efficiently than that of the clinical agent gadobutrol. Biodistribution studies show that Gd-PCTA and Gd-X-PCTA-2 are primarily cleared by a renal pathway, with 24 h residues of Gd-X-PCTA-2 in the liver and kidney being lower than those of Gd-PCTA.
