This study investigated the variations and alterations in the concentrations of plasmin system components in raw and UHT (ultra-high-temperature) milk under cold stress (WCT ≤ −25 °C), heat stress (THI ≥ 80), and normal (THI < 70 and WCT ≥ −10 °C) circumstances. The findings indicated elevated amounts of plasmin system components in cold-stressed raw milk. While storing UHT milk at 25 °C, the concentrations and activity of plasmin in the milk exhibited an initial increase followed by a decrease, peaking around the 30th day. The maximum plasmin level and activity in cold-stressed milk were 607.86 μg/L and 15.99 U/L, respectively, with the beginning of gelation occurring around day 60. The higher activity of plasmin in cold-stressed milk led to the poorer stability and sensory assessment of the milk. However, heat-stressed milk is not such a problem for UHT milk as cold-stressed milk. The findings indicate shortcomings in the quality of cold-stressed milk and its adverse effects on the stability of UHT milk, underscoring the necessity of preventing cold stress in the herd and refraining from utilizing cold-stressed milk as a raw material for UHT production.

SUMMARY The microbial community residing on the phyllosphere is influenced by many factors, including the host plant's genotype as well as its secondary metabolites. Anthocyanins are a group of flavonoids renowned for their antioxidative properties and are widely distributed across plant tissues. However, the potential impact of anthocyanins on plant-associated microbial communities remains unknown. In the model legume Medicago truncatula , we isolated a mutant named purple leaves ( pl ) that produces purple leaves at a young stage due to over-accumulated anthocyanins. Through sequencing 16S rRNA amplicons of phyllosphere microbes in the pl mutant, we show that anthocyanins significantly enhance the abundance of endophytic lactic acid bacteria within plant leaves. Further in vitro study revealed that anthocyanins derived from pl can significantly promote the growth of lactic acid bacteria under anaerobic conditions. The accumulated anthocyanins in pl leaves reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby creating a favorable environment for the growth of facultative anaerobic lactic acid bacteria and resultantly increasing the abundance of phyllosphere lactic acid bacteria. Our findings elucidate the role of anthocyanins in modulating the community structure of phyllosphere microbiota in M. truncatula and provide new insights into the relationship between plant secondary metabolites and phyllosphere microbiota.

Thiocyanate could effectively inhibit bacteria in milk and extend the shelf life of milk. However, excessive addition will lead to health risks. Therefore, the determination of thiocyanate in raw milk has received a lot of attention, but the determination could be interfered with by other components in raw milk and the pre-treatment of raw milk is complex. In this study, a new pretreatment method combined with ion chromatography (IC) for rapid and sensitive determination of thiocyanate is proposed. An acetonitrile/(NH4)2SO4aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) was developed for the separation and enrichment of thiocyanate in raw milk. Response surface methodology was performed to optimize the extraction conditions and an efficient pretreatment were obtained using ATPS composed of 42% acetonitrile (w/w) and 16% (NH4)2SO4(w/w), with the pH 4.7, and the recovery of thiocyanate reached 107.24 ± 0.5%, and the enrichment ratio was 10.74 ± 0.03. IC was used to establish a thiocyanate enrichment method. The linear range was from 0.05 to 15 mg/L and R2= 0.998, the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.2 μg/L, the limit of quantification (LQD) was 0.6 μg/L. Hence, it is feasible to combine ATPS with IC for the enrichment and determination of thiocyanate in raw milk.Keywords:thiocyanate;raw milk;aqueous two-phase system;ion chromatography;extraction

In this study, a rapid, inexpensive, and accurate colorimetric sensor for detecting psychrophilic bacteria was designed, comprising gold (Au) nanoparticles (NPs) modified by D-amino acid (D-AA) as color-metric probes. Based on the aggregation of Au NPs induced by psychrophilic bacteria, a noticeable color shift occurred within 6 h. Depending on the various metabolic behaviors of bacteria to different D-AA, four primary psychrophilic bacteria in raw milk were successfully distinguished by learning the response patterns. Furthermore, the quantification of single bacteria and the practical application in milk samples could be realized. Notably, a rapid colorimetric method was constructed by combining Au/D-AA with antibiotics for the minimum inhibitory concentration of psychrophilic bacteria, which relied on differences in bacteria metabolic activity in response to diverse antibiotic treatments. Therefore, the method enables the rapid detection and susceptibility evaluation of psychrophilic bacteria, promoting clinical practicability and antibiotic management.
