Astragalus mongholicus is a well-known traditional Chinese herbal medicine with a long history of medicinal use, while root rot caused by Fusarium oxysporum is a highly destructive soil-borne diseases that leads to yield and quality reduction. Although previous studies have demonstrated that the biocontrol strategy based on microbial agents could effectively inhibit root rot in crops, the biocontrol efficiency and potential mechanism in A. mongholicus have been rarely investigated. In this study, a novel strain GNRP-01A was isolated from the rhizosphere of wild A. mongolicus and exhibited significant biocontrol efficacy (77.8 %) against A. mongolicus root rot, which was identified as Bacillus subtilis based on morphology, 16S rRNA, and whole-genome sequence analyses. The B. subtilis GNRP-01A genome contained multiple biosynthetic gene clusters encoding secondary metabolites ( e.g., surfactin, subtilosin A, bacillibactin) and the genes that promote plant growth ( e.g., amylase, protease, cellulase). Additionally, GC-MS analysis identified 13 volatile organic compounds (VOCs), among which 2-dodecanone, 2-tridecanone, and 6-methyl-2-heptanone showed strong antifungal activities with inhibition rates of 81.53 %, 89.17 %, and 91.86 %, respectively. Moreover, the expression levels of genes associated with plant induced systemic resistance (ISR , e.g. , AmCHI2 , AmPAD4 , AmPDF2.2 and AmPR-10 ) were significantly up-regulated in F. oxysporum + GNRP-01A treated plants, indicating the activation of ISR of A. mongolicus . Collectively, B. subtilis GNRP-01 A controls A. mongholicus root rot through synergistic strategy involving the production of antifungal metabolites and VOCs, activation of plant ISR. These results provide new insights into the biocontrol mechanism of B. subtilis against A. mongholicus root rot, as well as support the potential applications of B. subtilis GNRP-01A as an effective biocontrol agent for root rot prevention and management in medicinal plants.

Volatile compounds play vital roles in food sensory attributes and food quality. An analysis of volatile compounds could illustrate the sensory attributes at the microscale level. Here, untargeted profiling approaches for volatiles in five most-consumed meat species were established using headspace SPME-GC/high resolution Orbitrap MS. An extended high-resolution database of meat volatile compounds was established to enhance the qualification accuracy. Using sulfur-containing compounds, aldehydes, and ketones as the research model, the parameters including fiber coating types, extraction temperature, extraction time, and desorbing time were optimized. Principle component analysis, volcano analysis and partial least squares discriminant analysis were applied to run the classification and the selection of discriminant markers between meat varieties, respectively. Different varieties could be largely distinguished according to the volatiles’ profiles. 1-Octen-3-ol, 1-octen-3-one, 2-pentyl furan and some other furans degraded from n-6 fatty acids would contribute to distinguishing duck meat from other categories, while methyl esters mainly from oleic acid as well as dimethyl sulfoxide and carbon disulfide possibly produced from the sulfur-containing amino acids contributed to the discrimination of beef. Therefore, volatiles’ profiling not only could interpret the aroma style in meat but also could be another promising method for meat differentiation and authentication.Keywords:differentiation;GC-HRMS;SPME;statistical analysis;untargeted profiling;volatiles

Nine organic compounds were utilized as model lubricants to investigate the impact of functional groups on tribological performances. Nonanoic Acid with carboxyl showed the best lubrication properties, and fluid film and tribofilm were coexistent in its friction test, bringing a low friction coefficient and wear rate. In addition, the lubricant with low friction coefficient corresponded to high adsorption energy in density functional theory (DFT) calculations. And the lubricant forming adsorption film with large surface energy displayed small wear rate in friction test. Moreover, adsorption energies positively correlated surface energies. Based on the experimental results, the action mechanism of functional groups on tribological properties of lubricants was proposed. Various functional groups make lubricant molecules show different adsorption energies and surface energies. Lubricant molecules with high adsorption energy are more likely to adsorb on substrates and form a vertical monolayer, which can maintain a regular molecular brush structure during friction and bring a low friction coefficient. And lubricant molecules with high surface energy may be more prone having tribochemical reactions during friction and forming protective tribofilm, which leads to a low wear rate.

The white-spotted flower chafer (WSFC), Protaetia brevit arsis Lewis, is native to East Asia. Although their larvae are considered a potential resource insect for degrading plant residues, producing protein fodder, and processing to traditional medicine, adult WSFCs inflict damage to dozens of fruit and economic crops. The control of the WSFC still relies heavily on pesticides and the inefficient manual extraction of adults. Here, we report the identification and evaluation of the aggregation pheromone of WSFCs. From the headspace volatiles emitted from WSFC adults, anisole, 4-methylanisole, 2-heptanone and 2-nonanone were identified as WSFC-specific components. However, only anisole and 4-methylanisole elicited positive dose–response relationship in electroantennography tests, and only 4-methylanisole significantly attracted WSFCs of both sexes in olfactometer bioassays and field experiments. These results concluded that 4-methylanisole is the aggregation pheromone of WSFCs. Furthermore, we developed polyethylene vials as long-term dispensers of 4-methylanisole to attract and kill WSFCs. The polyethylene vial lures could effectively attracted WSFCs for more than four weeks. Pheromone-based lures can be developed as an environmentally friendly protocol for monitoring and controlling WSFC adults.

Black spot disease, which is caused by the pathogenic fungalCeratocystis fimbriata, seriously affects the production of sweet potato and its quality during postharvest storage. In this study, the preliminary identification of the rhizosphere actinomycete strain SPS-33, and its antifungal activity of volatilesin vitroandin vivowas investigated. Based on morphological identification and phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence, strain SPS-33 was identified asStreptomyces lavendulae.Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by SPS-33 inhibited mycelial growth and sporulation ofC. fimbriatain vitroand also induced a series of observable hyphae morphological changes. In anin vivopathogenicity assay, exposure to SPS-33 significantly decreased the lesion diameter and water loss rate in sweet potato tuberous roots (TRs) inoculated withC. fimbriata. It increased the antioxidant enzymes’ activities of peroxidase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase as well as decreased malondialdehyde and increased total soluble sugar. In the VOC profile of SPS-33 detected by a headspace solid-phase micro extraction (HS-SPME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), heptadecane, tetradecane, and 3-methyl-1-butanol were the most abundant compounds. 2-Methyl-1-butanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, pyridine, and phenylethyl alcohol showed strong antifungal effects againstC. fimbriata. These findings suggest that VOCs fromS. lavendulaeSPS-33 have the potential for pathogenC. fimbriatacontrol in sweet potato postharvest storage by fumigant action.Keywords:Ipomoea batatas(L.)

Here we report a novel hexaphenylbenzene (HPB)-based material functionalized with six tetraphenylethylene units (BPT) with unique conformation-driven selectivity for gas chromatographic (GC) separations. It is composed of a neat aromatic hydrocarbon with a rigid propeller-like conformation. As a result, the BPT capillary column exhibited high column efficiency of 5340 plates per m and high-resolution capability for aromatic to aliphatic isomers with excellent intra-day and inter-day repeatability and between-column reproducibility. The results demonstrate the unique conformation-driven selectivity of the HPB-based stationary phase, which is rarely reported for chromatography. Moreover, its application in the determination of isomer impurities in commercial products proved its good potential for practical GC analysis. This work presents a new perspective for developing selective stationary phases by engineering their structures.

Separation of antipsychotic drugs from whole blood and urine is of great importance for clinic and forensic laboratories. In this work, chlorprothixene, haloperidol and risperidone representing the first and second generations of antipsychotic drugs were studied. Among them, chlorprothixene and risperidone were investigated for the first time by electromembrane extraction (EME). After the screening, 2-nitrophenyl octyl ether (NPOE) was used as the supported liquid membrane (SLM). The EME performance for spiked water (pH 2), whole blood and urine was tested and optimized individually. Using NPOE and 60 V, efficient EME was achieved from urine and whole blood with trifluoroacetic acid as the acceptor solution. The equilibrium time required for EME was dependent on the sample matrices. The steady-state of EME was reached in 30 min and 20 min for whole blood and urine, respectively. At steady-state, the EME recoveries of the targets from different sample matrices were satisfactory, and were in the range of 74%-100%. The proposed EME approach combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was evaluated using whole blood and urine. The obtained linearity was 1-200 ng mL −1 , and the coefficient of determination (R 2 ) was ≥ 0.9853 for haloperidol and ≥ 0.9936 for chlorprothixene and risperidone. The limit of detection (LOD) and accuracy for all the targets ranged from 0.2-0.6 ng mL −1 and 102%-110%, respectively, and the repeatability at low (1 ng mL −1 ), medium (10 ng mL −1 ) and high (200 ng mL −1 ) concentration was ≤ 12% (RSD). Finally, the validated approach was successfully used to determine chlorprothixene, risperidone and haloperidol in whole blood and urine from rats, which were treated with chlorprothixene, risperidone and haloperidol at low therapeutic dose, respectively.

Highland barley wine (HBW) is a well-known grain wine in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China and is mainly fermented by local Qu (a traditional starter) with highland barley ( Hordeum vulgare , Qingke (Tibetan hulless barley)), and the flavors profiles associated with microbiota succession during HBW fermentation are unrevealed. Hence, high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technology was used to investigate the dynamic changes of microbial community for the duration of the fermentation. In addition, metabolites were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A total of 66 volatile compounds and 7 organic acids were identified during the traditional brewing process. Results showed that the composition of microbiota varied over the fermentation process. The bacterial genera (relative abundance > 0.1%) decreased from 13 at 0 h to 4 encompassing Leuconostoc (13.53%) and Acetobacter (74.60%) after 48 h fermentation, whilst the structure of fungal community was more uniform in comparison with bacteria, as Rhizopus and Saccharomyces were predominant throughout the fermentation. Furthermore, the correlations between microbiota and the detected compounds were also explored, which highlighted that three bacterial genera, including Acetobacter , Leuconostoc , Bacillus and one fungal genus Rhizopus were significantly correlated with main flavours compounds (|r| > 0.7, FDR < 0.01). To conclude, the detailed information provided by this study offer screening strategies of beneficial bacterial and fungal strains to improve the quality of HBW.

Citrus medica‘Guangdong Xiangshui’ is a commercially valuable specialty citrus cultivar whose leaf volatile organic compounds (VOCs) hold promise for applications in food flavor development. Although rootstock genotype is known to influence secondary metabolism in scions, its specific regulatory effects on leaf VOCs in this cultivar remain poorly understood. In this study, headspace gas chromatography–ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) combined with multivariate statistical analysis was employed to profile leaf VOCs from plants grafted onto four different rootstocks, alongside own-rooted controls. For comparative purposes, leaf and pericarp VOC profiles were also analyzed under identical conditions. A total of 43 valid ion signals were detected, of which 27 neutral parent volatile compounds—predominantly aldehydes, alcohols, ketones, esters, and sulfur-containing compounds—were tentatively identified via database matching (match score > 80%). Distinct volatile fingerprints were observed among rootstock genotypes and propagation modes, and nine candidate differential compounds with variable importance in projection (VIP) > 1 were screened, demonstrating that HS-GC-IMS coupled with exploratory chemometric analysis enables preliminary discrimination of leaf samples across rootstock treatments. Comparative tissue analysis revealed pronounced metabolic divergence: leaves accumulated abundant C6 aldehydes and alcohols, indicative of lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway activity, whereas pericarp exhibited a higher proportion of terpenoids, consistent with terpene synthase (TPS) pathway dominance. However, these metabolic profiling results alone do not conclusively establish pathway-mediated regulatory mechanisms, necessitating further molecular and biochemical investigations. Collectively, this study provides foundational data for rootstock selection and the utilization of leaf aroma resources inC. medica‘Guangdong Xiangshui’.

Excessive addition of ethyl maltol (EMA) to foods poses potential health risks, highlighting the need for reliable monitoring. Herein, an integrated Fe(III)-driven liquid-phase microextraction (LPME)–spectrophotometry system was developed for selective and high-throughput EMA determination. Fe(III) in the acceptor phase served dual roles: as a chemical trap achieving >90% extraction efficiency and as an in situ chromogenic probe enabling direct detection. This unique design combines membrane-mediated matrix exclusion with coordination-assisted extraction, resulting in enhanced sensitivity and improved resistance to matrix interference. Density functional theory calculations revealed that Fe(III) facilitated the forward extraction by reducing the transmembrane transfer free energy barrier while suppressing back-extraction via weakening EMA–membrane solvent interactions. Under the evaluated conditions, the system offered a broad linear range (7.8–1500 μM, R 2 > 0.999), low detection limit (0.67 μM), and satisfactory selectivity toward structural analogues. Validation in diverse food matrices yielded recoveries of 88–107% with good agreement with HPLC–UV ( R 2 > 0.99). The minimal solvent consumption, high throughput, and favorable greenness further highlight its practical utility. More than an EMA detection method, this work provides a proof-of-concept for the coordination-driven LPME strategy that intrinsically integrates sample preparation with in situ signal generation, offering new insights into the design of a mechanism-driven microextraction system.

Rice flavor baijiu is one of the four traditional Chinese liquors, but the flavor difference caused by rice raw materials has received little attention. In this study, gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) combined with gas chromatography-olfactometry-quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (GC-O-QTOF/MS) were used to analyze five Rice flavor baijiu brewed from different rice raw materials. The results showed that there was a significant difference in the number and content of aroma compounds between the baijiu made from japonica rice and indica rice, and a total of 34 volatiles were characterized by the GC-IMS technique, which effectively constructed the fingerprint profile of the flavor differences of Rice flavor baijiu. GC-O-QTOF combined with aromatic extract dilution analysis (AEDA) tests identified 42 characteristic aroma active regions, 34 of which could be identified and quantified by the internal standard method. Sixteen aroma-active compounds in five baijiu samples showed high odor activity values (OAV). In addition, multivariate statistical analyses such as principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) effectively revealed the distribution patterns of the samples and their separation of relevant aroma activity markers. Six key aroma compounds, including isopentyl acetate, ethyl hexanoate, benzeneacetaldehyde, phenethyl acetate, undecane-2-one, and ethyl decanoate, were screened to have a greater effect on the flavor of Rice flavor baijiu.

This study was to screen and quantify characteristic volatiles tied to the quality deterioration of reheated pork via simultaneously reheating (75 °C, 30 min) and collecting headspace volatiles of precooked pork (100 °C, 10 min; stored: 0 °C, 0–14 d) for GC–MS analysis. The concentrations of hexanal (6.05 ± 0.86–12.05 ± 0.44 mg/kg), ( E )-2-octenal (1.54 ± 0.16–3.07 ± 0.08 mg/kg), ( E,E )-2,4-heptadienal (1.52 ± 0.44–2.58 ± 0.31 mg/kg) and 8 other selected volatiles in reheated pork increased as the storage time of the precooked counterparts increased. The increase rate of hexanal was 2.9–199 times faster than that of other volatiles based on zero-order reaction fitting ( R 2 = 0.876–0.997). Results from clustering analysis of these volatiles were consistent with their formation pathways tied to lipid autooxidation . This simple approach, reheating and collecting volatiles of precooked meat concurrently, introduces a new possibility for standardizing volatile analysis of precooked meats required being reheated before consumption.
