Foxtail millet ( Setaria italica ) is one of the earliest cereal crops in the world and is still an important food crop in Asia, Europe and Africa. However, there are few reports on rapid and comprehensive evaluations of foxtail millet quality. In this study, color, nutrient content, cooking quality and sensory quality of 45 varieties of foxtail millet from the main production areas of the country were determined. Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) combined with partial least squares regression (PLSR) was developed for rapid and nondestructive detection of foxtail millet quality, where NIRS models for ash, amylopectin, protein, and VB 1 and VB 2 were desirable. In addition, correlation analysis, principal component analysis and cluster analysis were used for comprehensive evaluation of millet quality. The results showed that foxtail millet with low ash, protein, fat and fiber content and high amylopectin and carotenoid content has good cooking quality and was more preferred. This research will contribute to the quality evaluation and further processing of foxtail millet.

In order to explore the effect of the content of nutritional components of quinoa on its sensory quality, 22 quinoa varieties were collected from 11 major quinoa-producing areas at home and abroad as experimental materials. The contents of total starch, protein, fat, crude fiber, ash, VB1, VB2, moisture and saponin were determined, and the sensory evaluation and electronic tongue analysis of cooked quinoa were carried out. The sensory quality of quinoa was comprehensively evaluated by correlation analysis, principal component analysis and cluster analysis. The results show that the contents of various nutritional components had significant effects on the sensory quality of quinoa (p< 0.05). Quinoa with high starch, high VB1, moderate fat, moderate moisture, low protein, low crude fiber, low ash and low saponin content had better cooking quality and was more popular. Electronic tongue analysis showed that the sweet response value of cooked quinoa was the highest, followed by the bitter response value. No. 12 and No. 9 cooked quinoa samples had the best comprehensive taste, the highest sensory score and the best cooking quality. This study preliminarily clarified the relationship between the content of different nutritional components in quinoa and its sensory quality, which could provide reference for the selection of raw materials and breeding of quinoa varieties for different processing purposes.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of pulsed electric field (PEF), ultrasound (US), and combined pretreatments (PEF-US) on mass transfer, rehydration capacity, microstructure, and nutritional quality of shiitake mushrooms (Lentinus edodes) . The results indicated that pretreatments could accelerate mass transfer during the hot-air drying process at 65 °C, resulting in lower drying time and energy requirement than control. Meanwhile, the low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) analysis revealed better rehydration capacity of the pretreated groups than the untreated group. The results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) demonstrated that pretreatments significantly changed the cell structure by developing intracellular space and larger cavities and facilitating the drying and rehydration process of mushrooms. Additionally, the physiochemical analysis illustrated that pretreatment could preserve the color and nutritional quality more effectively than the untreated groups. Of the pretreatment groups, the shortest drying time was observed in the combined (PEF-US) group (4.7 h). The PEF-US pretreated mushroom also exhibited the highest phenolics (224.17 μg/μL) and soluble sugar (3.90 mg/mL) levels. Overall, the study concluded that the combined pretreatment group (PEF-US) was a promising pretreatment method for hot-air drying of mushroom products to improve the drying efficiency, product quality control, and nutritional value protection.

The meticulous design of advanced electrocatalysts and their integration into gas diffusion electrode (GDE) architectures is emerging as a prominent research paradigm in the H 2 O 2 electrosynthesis community. However, it remains perplexing that electrocatalysts and assembled GDE frequently exhibit substantial discrepancies in H 2 O 2 selectivity during bulk electrolysis. Here, we elucidate the pivotal role of mass transfer behavior of key species (including reactants and products) beyond the intrinsic properties of the electrocatalyst in dictating electrode-scale H 2 O 2 selectivity. This tendency becomes more pronounced in high reaction rate (current density) regimes where transport limitations are intensified. By utilizing diffusion-related parameters (DRP) of GDEs (i.e., wettability and catalyst layer thickness) as probe factors, we employ both short- and long-term electrolysis in conjunction with in-situ electrochemical reflection-absorption imaging and theoretical calculations to thoroughly investigate the impact of DRP and DRP-controlled local microenvironments on O 2 and H 2 O 2 mass transfer. The mechanistic origins of diffusion-dependent conversion selectivity at the electrode scale are unveiled accordingly. The fundamental insights gained from this study underscore the necessity of architectural innovations for mainstream hydrophobic GDEs that can synchronously optimize mass transfer of reactants and products, paving the way for next-generation GDEs in gas-consuming electroreduction scenarios.

Measuring the isotopic composition of Hg in natural waters is challenging due to the ultratrace level of aqueous Hg (ng L–1). At least 5 ng of Hg mass is required for Hg isotopic analysis. Given the low Hg concentration in natural waters, a large volume of water (>10 L) is typically needed. The conventional grab sampling method is time-consuming, laborious, and prone to contamination during transportation and preconcentration steps. In this study, a DGT (diffusive gradients in thin films) method based on aminopropyl and mercaptopropyl bi-functionalized SBA-15 nanoparticles was developed and extended to determine the concentration and isotopic composition of aqueous Hg for the first time. The results of laboratory analysis showed that Hg adsorption by DGT induces ∼ −0.2‰ mass-dependent fractionation (MDF) and little mass-independent fractionation (MIF). The magnitude of MDF exhibits a dependence on the diffusion-layer thickness of DGT. Since Hg-MDF can occur in a broad range of environmental processes, monitoring the δ202Hg of aqueous Hg using the DGT method should be performed with caution. Field results show consistent MIF signatures (Δ199Hg) between the DGT and conventional grab sampling method. The developed DGT method serves as a passive sampling method that effectively characterizes the MIF of Hg in waters to understand the biogeochemical cycle of Hg at contaminated sites.

Ion trap performances were investigated based on digital ion trap technology with different collision gases and their pressures. Collision gases of helium ( M = 4 amu), nitrogen ( M = 28 amu) and argon ( M = 40 amu) with various pressures were adopted in ion excitation and dissociation stages for comparing the ion trap performances, including mass resolution, signal intensity, analysis ability of tandem mass spectrometric and low-mass cut off (LMCO) effect. The results indicated that when argon was used, the kinetic energy could be efficiently transferred and the LMCO effect was improved with higher ion capture and dissociation efficiencies except lower mass resolution. Higher mass resolution was realized with helium as collision gas. Furthermore, at the same gas pressure, heavier gas was beneficial to abundant fragment ions and structural information of precursor ion.

Jigucao capsules (JGCC) have the effects of soothing the liver and gallbladder and clearing heat and detoxification. It is a good medicine for treating acute and chronic hepatitis cholecystitis with damp heat of the liver and gallbladder. However, the existing quality standard of JGCC does not have content determination items, which is not conducive to quality control. In this study, serum pharmacochemistry technology and UNIFI data processing software were used to identify the blood prototype components and metabolites under the condition of the obvious drug effects of JGCC, and the referenced literature reports and the results from in vitro analysis of JGCC in the early stage revealed a total of 43 prototype blood components and 33 metabolites in JGCC. Quality markers (Q-markers) were discovered, such as abrine, trigonelline, hypaphorine and isoschaftoside. In addition, ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UPLC-QQQ-MS) was used to determine the active ingredients in JGCC. The components of quantitative analysis have good correlation in the linear range with R2≥ 0.9993. The recovery rate is 93.15%~108.92% and the relative standard deviation (RSD) is less than 9.48%. The established UPLC-MS/MS quantitative analysis method has high sensitivity and accuracy, and can be used for the quality evaluation of JGCC.Keywords:serum pharmacochemistry;jigucao capsule;quality markers;ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry;quality evaluation

BACKGROUND Blueberry products have various health benefits due to their high content of dietary anthocyanins. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of fermentation and sterilization on total anthocyanin content, composition and some quality attributes of blueberry puree. The blueberry puree used here was fermented for 40 h at 37 °C by Lactobacillus after sterilization. The method of ultra-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry was optimized for the rapid analysis of anthocyanins. Quality attributes including pH, color, total soluble solids and viscosity were measured. RESULTS A total of 21 anthocyanins and five anthocyanidins were quantified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography. Fermented blueberry had reduced total anthocyanin content (29%) and levels of individual anthocyanins compared with fresh blueberry. Total anthocyanin content was decreased 46% by sterilization, and different degradation behavior of individual anthocyanin was appeared between fermented and sterilized–fermented blueberry puree. Fermentation and sterilization decreased the total soluble solids and pH and changed color parameters, while minimally influencing viscosity. CONCLUSIONS The loss of total anthocyanin content by fermentation was related to the unstable structure of blueberry anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are sensitive to temperature (>80 °C), and degradation of anthocyanins by sterilization in blueberry should be considered in the fermentation procedure. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry

The accumulation of proline impacts the defense mechanisms of plants against the harmful effects of adverse environmental conditions; however, its concentration in plants is associated with the metabolism of N. Therefore, the effects of exogenous organic [glutamate (Glu)/arginine (Arg)] and inorganic [nitrate (NO3−)/ammonium (NH4+)] N on the accumulation of proline (Pro) in rice plants under trivalent chromium [Cr(III)] stress were studied through using the mass balance matrix model (MBMM). Application of ‘NH4+’ showed the largest contribution to the Pro content in rice shoots under different concentrations of Cr(III), followed by ‘NO3−’, ‘Arg’, and ‘Glu’ applications. On the other hand, ‘Arg’ application displayed the largest contribution to the Pro content in roots under Cr(III) stress, followed by ‘NH4+’, ‘Glu’, and ‘NO3−’ applications. The combined application of ‘NH4++Arg’ showed the greatest contribution to the Pro content in both roots and shoots of Cr(III)-treated rice seedlings, while the application of ‘NO3−+Glu’ showed the least contribution to the Pro content in rice seedlings. The current study indicated that the endogenous level of Pro in rice seedlings is quite sensitive to Cr(III) stress under different N sources, and the mathematical modeling showed a reliable result while estimating the relationship between Pro content and N source application.Keywords:proline;rice;trivalent chromium;nitrogen source;mass balance

Huganning, a Chinese patent medicine, has been used in clinical practice for the treatment of hepatitis in China for more than 20 years, and its main physiologically active components are polydatin and emodin. In this study, a rapid and accurate proton nuclear magnetic resonance method for the quantification of these constituents was developed. 4-Nitrochlorobenzene was selected as an internal standard, and the signals for polydatin at δ 6.44 ppm and emodin at δ 7.54 ppm were chosen for the quantification. Validation of the method was performed in terms of specificity, precision, and stability. The results indicated that the method was precise and in line with the China Food and Drug Administration guidance. The method has been successfully applied to characterize tablets and capsules obtained from six pharmaceutical companies. This study indicated that the rapid 1 H NMR method is more suitable for the quality control of Huganning than the high-performance liquid chromatography method.

This work aimed to evaluate the effects of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma on inactivation of spoilage yeast Zygosaccharomyces rouxii ( Z. rouxii ), in apple juice. Results showed that DBD plasma treatment at 90 W for 140 s resulted in about 5-log reduction of Z. rouxii in apple juice. The levels of extracellular nucleic acids and proteins as well as contents of H 2 O 2 and NO 2 − in yeast extract-peptone-dextrose (YPD) medium increased significantly after DBD plasma treatment at 90 W for 40–200 s. The increases in membrane permeability and generation of reactive species would likely contribute to DBD plasma-mediated inactivation of Z. rouxii . DBD plasma caused significant changes in pH, titratable acidity, and certain color parameters of apple juice, but had no effect on the contents of total soluble solids, reducing sugar, and total phenolics. This study provides key implications for the application of DBD plasma in fruit juice processing.

The surface tension (γ) of 2-diethylaminoethanol (DEAE), DEAE-monoethanolamine (MEA), and DEAE-piperazine (PZ) aqueous solutions was measured by using the BZY-1 surface tension meter. The temperature ranged from 303.2 K to 323.2 K. The mass fraction of DEAE, MEA and PZ respectively ranged from 0.30 to 0.50, 0.05 to 0.15 and 0.025 to 0.075. An equation was proposed to model the surface tension and the calculated results agreed well with the experiments. The effects of temperature and mass fraction of amines on the surface tension were demonstrated on the basis of experiments and calculations.
