Beef tallow (BT) is the common hotpot oil used in Sichuan hotpot, increasing its characteristic flavors and making it taste better. However, the cholesterol content in BT is high, which may induce cardiovascular diseases. In this study, the effect of palm stearin (PS) on Sichuan hotpot oil was evaluated. The PS: BT blends showed similar physicochemical properties to BT from the results of sensory evaluation, pulsed NMR, DSC, and polar light micrograph (PLM). Furthermore, since spiciness is the essential characteristic of Sichuan hotpot, the digestive properties of capsaicinoids in hotpot oil were used as an evaluation index. The results showed that the digestive properties of capsaicinoids in hotpot oil containing PS were consistent with those without PS. In conclusion, PS can be partially used to replace BT, which can broaden the types of oil used for hotpot and help develop a new hotpot oil.

Fruits are susceptible to ethylene ripening and microbial infestation, which can lead to spoilage and further significant economic losses. Thus, using functional preservation materials is an effective controlling technology to improve the post-harvest quality and extend the shelf life of fruits. Hence, a dual-function cellulose-based paper with exceptional antibacterial efficiency, favourable ethylene removal performance, improved mechanical and hydrophobic properties was prepared by covalently grafted antibacterial guanidine salt and surface-modified ethylene scavenger. When the amount of guanidine salt grafted and ethylene scavenger is 1.85 wt% and 1.5 g·m −2 , respectively, the prepared cellulose paper exhibited about 99 % ethylene conversion and killing efficiency with no leaching, which extending the post-harvest avocado preservation time to 20 days at room temperature. Packaging with the preservation paper effectively reduced hardness and consumption of soluble solids in avocado during storage, maintaining their appearance and nutritional quality. These findings highlight the excellent preservation capabilities of the dual-function paper, making it a promising material for fruit and vegetable preservation in small and medium planting areas and households.

Avocado is widely grown in tropical and subtropical regions of China. Diverse germplasms have been generated through natural hybridization and selective breeding. Here, to screen high-quality avocado germplasms, we characterized the nutritional quality of 95 avocado germplasms grown in China based on metabolomics. The oil content of the 95 avocado germplasms was 2.18 %–16.60 % and followed a normal distribution. We further profiled nine fatty acids, 16 hydrolyzed amino acids, and eight mineral elements in avocado fruit, which varied widely among different germplasms. Correlation analysis revealed significant positive correlations between fatty acid components, as well as between amino acid components and between mineral elements. Clustering analysis and evaluation of the 95 avocado germplasms identified 14 germplasms with high nutritional quality. These findings provide a basis for evaluation of avocado fruit quality and utilization of high-quality avocado germplasms, as well as important implications for the breeding of avocado.

Platinum-loaded dendritic mesoporous silica catalysts (Pt/DMS) with the size controlled by changing the molar ratio of NaSal/CTAB (φ) were successfully prepared using an incipient impregnating method. The resulting catalysts with high specific surface areas and distinctive central-radial pore channels exhibited excellent ethylene catalytic oxidation at low temperatures, enabling the complete ethylene conversion at 25 °C for 60 h and even at 0 °C for 200 min. The φ value plays an important role in controlling the DMS support structure and Pt activity. The high efficiency of low-temperature ethylene oxidation and long-term stability for Pt/DMS are attributed to high Pt dispersion, small Pt size, high Pt 0 content and the rapid CO oxidation process. As an ethylene scavenger, Pt/DMS delayed the postharvest decay, deterioration, and storage quality loss of bananas and avocados, demonstrating the significant potential of as-prepared catalysts in the applications associated with fruit and vegetable (F&V) preservation.

The presence of multiple pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables poses a serious threat to human health. Conventional gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) used in multiplex lateral flow immunoassays (M−LFIA) often exhibit poor sensitivity and potential for misidentification. This study introduces a traffic signal-inspired fluorescent LFIA (T-FLFIA) designed for the simultaneous quantitative detection of chlorothalonil (CTN), paclobutrazol (PBZ), and fipronil (FIP) in cowpea and apple samples. Utilizing the hydrophobic interactions of aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) and the coordination of epicatechin (EC) with Ni 2+ , we developed a novel nanostructure-aggregation-induced emission nanoparticle (AIENP) coated with a metal-polyphenol network of Ni/EC (AIENP@Ni/EC) via a self-assembly method and employed it as fluorescence probe in T-FLFIA. Three distinct colors of AIENP@Ni/EC featuring green, yellow, and red fluorescence were successfully synthesized by coating various AIEgens. This multicolor fluorescence capability facilitates more precise and expedited discrimination among multiple detection targets. High-performance AIE fluorescence probes were fabricated by directly coupling AIENP@Ni/EC with different antibodies through electrostatic interactions, leveraging the exceptional biocompatibility of Ni/EC. The T-FLFIA exhibited sensitive detection of CTN, PBZ, and FIP at concentrations as low as 0.038 ng/mL, 0.025 ng/mL, and 0.046 ng/mL, respectively, with high qualitative accuracy (92.5 %) within a rapid timeframe (5 s). This exceptional performance can be attributed to its outstanding optical properties and distinguishable colors. This approach demonstrated enhanced sensitivity and accuracy, reduced consumption of antibodies and immunoprobes, and a broader detection range compared to single-color AuNPs-M−LFIA. This study introduces a novel, practical, and cost-effective tool for rapid screening of diverse pesticide residues in field settings.

To extend the application range of flexible pressure sensors and to be widely used as an economical and convenient way, researchers have made efforts toward high sensitivity, wide detection range, and low power consumption. However, most sensors can only work based on a single mechanism, thus limiting the sensing range and applicability. In view of this, we developed a dual-mechanism pressure sensor (DMPS) based on Ag nanowire/PDMS electrodes and ZnO nanoparticle-based force-sensitive membranes, which has a sandwich structure and complete flexibility under the effect of chemical bonding. It can simultaneously sense high-frequency dynamic pressure as well as static load by integrating piezoelectric and piezocapacitive effects, thereby complementing the inability of conventional piezoelectric-type sensors to continuously detect static pressure. The prepared flexible DMPS containing 20 wt % ZnO nanofiller has a pressure frequency-independent electrical output of about 2 V under 20 N force conditions and also has a long-term stability of more than 5000 pressure cycles. Moreover, it exhibits good linearity, repeatability, and stability in the 0–100 kPa detection range in the piezocapacitive mode. On the basis of multimechanism and modularity, the flexible DMPS was demonstrated for fruit quality monitoring, including avocado ripeness grading, tactile sensory gloves, and moisture loss assessment, indicating its promising applications in intelligent agricultural machines and wearable sensing systems.
