This study aims to examine the changes in volatile compounds of Lipu taro pork at various cooking stages, including raw pork meat (RP), pre-cooked meat (PM), roasted meat (RM), ultrasonically cured meat (UC), and steamed meat (SM). GC-IMS, fatty acid analysis, electronic tongue, and electronic nose were employed to identify flavor compounds at each processing stage, and the results were analyzed using multivariate statistical methods. Findings showed that the fatty acid content in PM was significantly higher than in pork from other stages, followed by the UC group, while SM had the lowest. GC-IMS detected a total of 60 compounds, including aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, and esters. Significant differences in flavor compound composition were observed across the various processing stages. Using the PLS-DA model, 21 compounds with VIP values above 1.0 were identified, with methyl-5-hepten-2-one (VIP > 1.5) being the most important for differentiation, followed by acetone, 2-pentanone, and ethyl hexanoate-D (VIP > 1.4).

Liquid crystal monomers (LCMs) are emerging organic pollutants to which humans are chronically exposed at low doses. Accurate quantification of LCMs in biological matrices remains challenging due to their low environmental concentrations and significant matrix effects. This study developed a novel approach for robust determination of three LCMs including 2,3-difluoro-4-(trans-4-propylcyclohexyl) butoxybenzene (3cH4OdFP), 4-propoxy-4′-cyanobiphenyl (3OCB), and 4-ethyl-4′-(4-propylcyclohexyl)-1,1′-biphenyl (3cH2B) in mouse serum, brain, heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney tissues. Serum samples were extracted with n-hexane, while tissues were extracted using acidified acetonitrile followed by QuEChERS cleanup.Separation was achieved on a DB-17HT column, and detection was performed in selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode of GC-MS. The method demonstrated good linearity (r² > 0.995) from 0.5 to 200 ng/mL. Limits of detection were 0.2 ng/g for tissues and 1.0 ng/mL for serum. Average recoveries ranged from 74.32% to 126.0%, with intra-day and inter-day precision between 2.165%-18.53% and 3.749%-19.13%, respectively. The validated method was successfully applied to exposed mice, revealing widespread tissue distribution of three LCMs, with the spleen showing a higher accumulation potential. This sensitive and reliable approach provides robust technical support for internal exposure assessment and toxicological studies of LCMs.

This paper employs electrochemical methods (linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)) to investigate the electrochemical behavior of platinum, glassy carbon, 304 stainless steel, titanium, and copper in 21 and 1 M LiTFSI electrolytes. The LSV results indicate that the electrochemical stability window of the materials varies with the electrolyte concentration, and the stability window is wider in the high-concentration system. Through Tafel polarization curves and EIS analysis, the overpotential of the charge exchange process differs due to the type of material and the concentration of the electrolyte, mainly attributed to the influence of the proportion of free water, electrolyte viscosity, and SEI film formation on electrode process kinetics. After comparative analysis, glassy carbon exhibits a higher overpotential than other materials at both the cathode and anode, effectively suppressing water decomposition. These findings provide theoretical support for the development of high-performance aqueous lithium-ion battery current collector materials.

Comparative profiling of aroma formation in piling and flowering Tibetan tea. • Stem decoction–assisted flowering enhanced fungal–floral and medicinal aromas. • Nine key volatiles were identified across Tibetan teas pile-fermentation types. • GC–O–MS and ROAV integrated with microbiome data to link aroma with taxa. • Thermophilic fungi and actinobacteria associated with the woody note. Solid-state fermentation can generate diverse aroma profiles, but the outcomes are often difficult to predict and standardize, which limits scalable production and intelligent quality control in fermented foods. Tibetan dark tea provides a relevant model because pile fermentation followed by flowering can produce distinct aroma styles. In this study, we compared four processing regimes to examine flowering under different pile fermentation levels: short piling (S1), tea stem decoction assisted flowering after short piling (S2), long piling (S3), and long piling followed by stem-decoction-assisted flowering (S4). Sensory evaluation revealed clear differences among regimes. S3 showed balanced woody and sweet notes, whereas S4 exhibited stronger medicinal notes together with fungal and floral impressions. GC-O-MS (gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry), untargeted volatilomics, and ROAV (relative odor activity value) analysis identified nine key odorants with distinct trends across processes. Correlation analysis suggested that thermophilic fungi such as Thermomyces lanuginosus and heat-tolerant bacteria including Saccharopolyspora gregorii and Staphylococcus gallinarum were positively associated with woody-associated volatiles. In contrast, Leuconostoc, Weissella , and several proteobacteria taxa were negatively associated with grassy aldehydes such as hexanal. Overall, this study integrates sensory profiling, odorant prioritization, and microbiome association analysis to identify candidate odorant markers and associated microbial signatures, providing a basis for future process optimization and aroma quality control in flowering Tibetan dark tea. The framework may also inform aroma design and quality control for other solid-state fermented foods. Download: Download high-res image (183KB) Download: Download full-size image

Ginger is extensively utilized in culinary and traditional medicine worldwide. This study presents a comparative analysis on ginger-related varieties from different species, growth stages, processing methods and geographical origins using headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-Q-TOF MS) and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography linear-ion-trap-quadrupole orbitrap MS (UHPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap MS). A total of 120 volatiles and 377 non-volatiles were annotated. Metabolomics revealed 44 differential components to discriminate six Zingiberaceae species. Among them, ginger contained the highest levels of chemical components. Additionally, 44 components were found to completely distinguish two growth stages and four processing forms of ginger. As ginger matures, changes in volatiles become more pronounced, while significant differences in non-volatiles were observed across processing stages. Moreover, ginger from three regions was compared, and ginger from Western was found to have more abundant non-volatiles and a higher qualification rate (Yunnan 100 % vs. Fujian 33 %, Henan 15 %). This study maps the chemical profile of ginger and related varieties, providing insights for development of novel products and informing decisions in cultivation, production, and purchasing.

A novel method of microwave-assisted deep eutectic solvent extraction coupled with solid-phase microextraction was developed to determine the volatile compounds in tobacco by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. During the process, the deep eutectic solvent played the roles of absorbing medium for microwave radiation, destroyer of cell walls, and solvent for dissolving the compounds released from the cells. Combined with solid-phase microextraction, the volatile components were extracted and concentrated in one step. In this method, several experimental parameters, such as fibre type, deep eutectic solvent type, microwave power, set-up temperature and irradiation time were studied. Compared with microwave-assisted water extraction coupled with solid-phase microextraction, and conventional solid-phase microextraction, more volatile components were obtained with higher responses. It was demonstrated that this method has improved extraction efficiency. Moreover, the proposed method has been applied to analyzing tobacco volatiles from different regions and nine different types of components have been detected. The results indicate that microwave-assisted deep eutectic solvent extraction coupled with solid-phase microextraction is an efficient, environmentally-friendly and fast miniaturization pretreatment technology for the extraction of volatiles from tobacco samples. This is a potentially promising technique for other complex and valuable matrices with low volatile content.

In this work, 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) emulsion is prepared by ultrasonication agitation and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) coating is fabricated on a stainless steel wire by electrochemical method from a 0.10 M sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate aqueous solution containing EDOT. The coating is characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry , and it presents cauliflower-like structure. When the resulted PEDOT/steel fiber is used for the headspace solid phase-microextraction of some esters (i.e. methyl anthranilate , dimethyl phthalate , ethyl-o-aminobenzoate, methyl laurate and diethyl phthalate) and their GC detection, the limits of detection (LOD) are ca. 7.8–31 ng L −1 ( S / N =3) and the linear ranges are 0.25–800 μg L −1 . The fiber shows high thermal stability (up to 320 °C), good reproducibility and long lifetime (more than 183 times). It also has good chemical stability. After it is immersed in acid, alkali and dichloromethane for 4 h its extraction efficiency remains almost unchanged. Besides esters the fiber also exhibits high extraction efficiency for alcohols and aromatic compounds .

The determination of monosaccharides is crucial for studying the structure of polysaccharides and the composition of free monosaccharides in living organisms. Based on previous derivatization gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) methods, we aimed to develop a novel analytical protocol for better quantifying monosaccharides. In this study, sugar alcohol acetylation, saccharonitrile acetylation, silylation and a combination of sugar alcohols acetylation and saccharonitrile acetylation were compared. The optimal method was verified with the monosaccharide determination of four polysaccharides and four free monosaccharides from Dendrobium . The results showed that the novel combined derivatization method was superior to the other three methods in terms of content analysis of monosaccharides. Furthermore, it possessed good linearity (all calibration curves showed relative coefficients ≥ 0.999), sensitivity, precision (relative standard deviation < 2%), and accuracy (recovery, 95.7–105%). Finally, the novel method established in this study was successfully employed in determining the monosaccharide composition of four polysaccharides and four free monosaccharide samples from Dendrobium .

An in vivo solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fiber with high-coverage capture capacity of plant endogenous substances based on the porous covalent triazine framework (CTF) material was developed. The CTF fiber coupled with gas chromatographic quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer (GC-QTOF-MS) analysis was used for monitoring untargeted endogenous metabolites in living Chinese cabbage plants ( Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis Makino (var. communis Tsen et Lee)). A total of 100 endogenous substances were identified, mainly including aldehydes, ketones, acids, alcohols, phenols, alkanes, alkenes, esters, isorhodanates, nitriles, as well as indole and its derivatives. Using the in vivo metabolites analysis method, Chinese cabbage plants at different growing stages demonstrated significantly statistical differences in plant metabolism. In addition, metabolic dysregulation of Chinese cabbage plants under fipronil pesticide contamination was observed. To summarize, the proposed approach provides a feasible method to capture metabolic information in living vegetables and for risk assessment of pesticide use during agricultural production.

Infections caused byCandida albicans(C. albicans) and increasing resistance to commonly used drugs lead to a variety of mucosal diseases and systemic infectious diseases. We previously confirmed that the essential oil ofClausena lansium(Lour.) Skeels seeds (CSEO) had antifungal activity againstC. albicans, but the detailed mechanism between the chemical components and antifungal activity is unclear. In this study, a quantitative analysis of five volatile components of CSEO, including sabinene,α-phellandrene,β-phellandrene, 4-terpineol, andβ-caryophyllene, was carried out using the gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) method. Both the broth dilution and kinetic growth methods proved that the antifungal activity of CSEO against fluconazole-resistantC. albicanswas better than that of its main components (sabinene and 4-terpineol). To further investigate the inhibitory mechanism, the transcriptional responses ofC. albicansto CSEO, sabinene, and 4-terpineol treatment were determined based on RNA-seq. The Venn diagram and clustering analysis pattern of differential expression genes showed the mechanism of CSEO and 4-terpineol’s anti-C. albicansactivity might be similar from the perspective of the genes. Functional enrichment analysis suggested that CSEO regulated adherence-, hyphae-, and biofilm-formation-related genes, which may be CSEO’s active mechanism of inhibiting the growth of fluconazole-resistantC. albicans. Overall, we preliminarily revealed the molecular mechanism between the chemical components and the antifungal activity of CSEO againstC. albicans.This study provides new insights to overcome the azole resistance ofC. albicansand promote the development and application ofC. lansium(Lour.) Skeels seeds.Keywords:Clausena lansium(Lour.) Skeels seeds;essential oil;Candida albicans;drug resistance;gas chromatography–mass spectrometry;transcriptomics analysis

The present study aims to improve the yields and selectivity of aromatic hydrocarbons in the catalytic pyrolysis of biomass by the addition of low-density polyethylene (LDPE), which has a higher hydrogen-carbon ratio than biomass. We have investigated the thermal decomposition behavior and kinetics, as well as the product distribution, of the co-pyrolysis of biomass (cellulose and pine sawdust) and plastic (LDPE) both with and without a catalyst (HZSM-5) using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and analytical pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS). Our results, based on the weight loss difference (△ W ), show that there is a positive and synergistic interaction between the biomass and LDPE. After the addition of LDPE, the synergistic reactions inhibited catalyst coking effectively and decreased the formation of solid residues. In addition, the ZSM-5 catalyst improved the reaction activity and reduced the activation energy, although the reaction mechanism is not changed. At the same time, the Flynn-Wall-Ozawa (FWO) method was used to fit the kinetic data for both non-catalytic and catalytic co-pyrolysis of biomass and LDPE, and the activation energies ( E a ) of the cellulose + LDPE + catalyst and pine + LDPE + catalyst systems were found to be 168.81 and 185.87 kJ/mol, respectively. The co-pyrolysis of biomass and LDPE effectively improved the yield and selectivity of aromatics and increased the selectivity for benzene, toluene, xylene, and ethylbenzene (BTXE). The addition of LDPE can effectively improve the selectivity for naphthalene family products (methylnaphthalene and 2-methylnaphthalene) in the catalytic pyrolysis of biomass and decrease the content of aromatic hydrocarbons larger than C10.

Summary Four types of carbohydrates, including Dendrobium officinale polysaccharide, Dendrobium aphyllum polysaccharide and β-glucans from yeast and barley, were examined, and their structures were found to mainly contain 1,4-linked-β- d -Glc p . Artificially simulated gastrointestinal digestion was conducted to characterise the changes of molecular weight, reducing sugars and released free monosaccharides by high-performance liquid chromatography, kits and the newly developed gas chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry (MS)/MS analysis, which indicated that high molecular weight and complex spatial structures contributed to delayed monosaccharide release following exposure to digestive solution. The spatial structures of carbohydrates were changed during gastric digestion, but their primary structures were destroyed during intestinal digestion. Additionally, for the developed 7890A/7000 GC-TQ/MS-MS, the new analytical method was successfully used to analyse very low concentrations of monosaccharides in the simulated gastrointestinal digestive system.
