In this study, a fast, green, and efficient ferrofluid-based dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) method was developed for determining chiral fungicide hexaconazole residues using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The ferrofluid as extraction solvent was composed of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) and Fe 3 O 4 , in which DES as the functional support solvent of the ferrofluid was synthesized by fenchol, hexanoic acid, and acetic acid in the molar ratio of 1:0.5:3. The prepared ferrofluid is characterized by self-dispersion and magnetism, which can eliminate the vortex, ultrasound, and centrifugation steps. Chiral separation and detection of hexaconazole enantiomers were performed by HPLC. Under optimal conditions, linearity ranged between 0.02 and 2 μg mL −1 , the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.006 μg mL −1 , and relative standard deviations were less than 8.6 %. The recoveries in the water, tea, and juice ranged from 83.0 % to 101.7 %. The proposed self-dispersion ferrofluids can facilitate the development of fast microextraction methods for pesticides in food samples.

Although ionic liquids (ILs) have proven to be multifunctional and universal lubricant additives , their solubility in different polar lubricating oils varies greatly. This variability restrains their widespread use as general-purpose lubricating additives. To address this issue, three protic ionic liquids (PILs) with high solubility in lubricating oils with differing polarities were selected as additives, and their tribological performances in polyethylene glycol (PEG) and synthetic pentaerythritol carboxylic ester oil (5750) were systematically investigated. These findings were interesting, as PILs effectively improved the lubrication properties of PEG but impaired those of 5750. Additionally, a variety of surface analysis techniques and MD simulation were employed to further explore the lubrication mechanisms of PILs, and results indicated that they exhibited distinct tribological performance.

Development of energy-efficient lubricants is a way to reduce energy consumption for transportation, with the tendency to design molecules that are beneficial in reducing the viscosity of synthetic oils. Oligoether esters (OEEs), as a low-viscosity ester base oil, have characteristics such as simple synthesis and excellent lubrication effect, however, the application of OEEs in tribology field has rarely been investigated. The objective of the present study is to investigate the effect of structure on the lubricating performance of OEEs and to develop a predictive model for OEEs based on quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) through a combination of experiment and statistical modeling. Results showed that glycol chains contribute positively to lubrication with the ether functional groups increasing the sites of adsorption. Compared to branched-chain OEEs, straight-chain OEEs exhibited reduced wear, which was mainly due to the thicker adsorption film formed by the straight-chain structure. Furthermore, carbon films were detected on lightly worn surfaces, indicating that OEEs underwent oxidation during the friction process. Based on the results of principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares (PLS), it could be found that the predictive models of viscosity–temperature performance, thermal stability performance, coefficient of friction (COF), and wear volume (WV) performed well and robustly. Among them, COF and WV can be best predicted with an R 2 of about 0.90.

Plant-derived polysaccharides, such as Atractylodes lancea rhizome polysaccharide (ALP), are good immune regulators. However, the immune regulatory mechanism of the ALP is unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of ALP on the intestinal mucosal barrier and intestinal mucosal immunity of immunosuppressed mice. We also compared the activity of raw Atractylodes lancea rhizome polysaccharide (SALP) with wheat bran processed bran-fried Atractylodes lancea rhizome polysaccharide (FALP; both at 1.2 g/kg/d for mice). Our results showed that ALP effectively increased the immune organ index and blood cell count, stimulated the secretion of cytokines, and promoted the expression of occludin and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1). ALP also promoted the expression of T cells and the secretion of sIgA. Furthermore, ALP alleviated the gut microbiota disorder in Cy-treated mice and increased the relative abundances of Lactobacillus and Faecalibaculum. ALP reversed the decrease in the level of SCFAs and promoted the expression of G protein-coupled receptor 43 (GPR43). To our knowledge, this study was the first to explore how the ALP protects the intestinal mucosal barrier and enhances intestinal mucosal immunity by alleviating the gut microbiota imbalance and metabolic disorders of SCFAs. FALP was more therapeutic than SALP, suggesting that FALP could be developed as a promising functional food component.

Excessive exercise without adequate rest can lead to overtraining syndrome, which manifests a series of side effects, including fatigue, gut dysbiosis, and decremental sports performance. Konjac glucomannan (KGM) is a plant polysaccharide with numerous health-improving effects, but few studies reported its effects on the gut microbiome, endurance, and strength in an overtraining model. This study assessed the effect of KGM on gut microbiome, endurance, and strength in mice with excessive exercise. Three doses of KGM (1.25, 2.50, and 5.00 mg/mL) were administrated in drinking water to mice during 42 days of a treadmill overtraining program. The results showed that excessive exercise induced a significant microbial shift compared with the control group, while a high dose (5.00 mg/mL) of KGM maintained the microbial composition. The proportion ofSutterellain feces was significantly increased in the excessive exercise group, while the moderate dose (2.50 mg/mL) of KGM dramatically increased the relative abundance ofLactobacillusand SCFA production in feces. Additionally, the moderate dose and high dose of KGM counteracted the negative effects of excessive exercise on strength or/and endurance (43.14% and 39.94% increase through a moderate dose of KGM, Bonferroni correctedp< 0.05, compared with the excessive exercise group). Therefore, it suggests that KGM could prevent overtraining and improve sports performance in animal models.Keywords:polysaccharides;prebiotics;dietary fiber;performance;microbiota

Emulsive liquid–liquid microextraction (ELLME), a simple, rapid, and environmentally friendly technique, was established to identify chiral prothioconazole and its chiral metabolite in water, juice, tea, and vinegar using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC). Environmentally friendly extractant was mixed with pure water to prepare a high-concentration emulsion, which was added to samples to complete the emulsification and extraction in 1 s. Afterward, an electrolyte solution was added to complete the demulsification without centrifugation. ELLME did not use dispersants compared to the familiar dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME), thus reducing the use of toxic solvents and avoiding the effect of dispersants on the partition coefficient. The linear range was from 0.01 to 1 mg/L. The limit of detection was 0.003 mg/L. The extraction recoveries ranged from 82.4 % to 101.6 %, with relative standard deviations of 0.7–5.2 %. The ELLME method developed has the potential to serve as an alternative to DLLME.

In this paper, novel high extraction efficiency hydrophobic eutectic solvents (DESs), n-octanoic acid as a hydrogen bond donor (HBD) and menthol as a hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA), were selected from five hydrophobic DESs to extract trace diphenylamine (DPA) in fruits apple, pear and orange under ultrasonic-assisted liquid-liquid micro-extraction (UA-LLME) technology before high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. Working parameters such as the DESs type, molar ratio, extractant volume, and ultrasonic time of the LLME hydrophobic DESs technology were optimised. Average recoveries between 96% and 108% were obtained on actual samples. This method gave lower detection limit (LOD) than other existing methods due to combining the high-efficiency extraction of hydrophobic DES and high sensitivity of fluorescence detector. This method was sensitive and eco-friendly, and can be used for the determination of trace components in fruits.

Change in metabolites and volatiles during yellowing process in six rice cultivars was analyzed. Based on the yellowness, the study indicated Japonica was more prone to yellowing than Indica rice. Metabonomics analysis showed most differential metabolites were up-regulated, in which pathways of flavone and flavonol biosynthesis were significantly enriched following the yellowing process. Meanwhile, 54 differential metabolites were overlapped in six comparative groups, which is characterized by commonly-shared metabolic regulation pathway in each rice. Phenylalanine content was increased, followed by the enhanced phenylpropanoids formation, showing transformation between primary and secondary metabolites during yellowing process. Furthermore, 43 volatile compounds were identified, and the yellowed rice had more volatiles, including ketones, alcohols, esters and hydrocarbons, suggesting a positive correlation with the yellowing. Compounds 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one and 6,10,14-trimethyl-2-pentadecanone were increased steadily during yellowing process, which may be applied for monitoring rice yellowing progress. This investigation provides further insight for revealing rice yellowing mechanism.

The recycle and reutilization of food wastes is a promising alternative for supporting and facilitating circular economy. However, engineering industrially relevant model organisms to use food wastes as their sole carbon source has remained an outstanding challenge so far. Here, we reprogrammed Escherichia coli metabolism using modular pathway engineering followed by laboratory adaptive evolution to establish a strain that can efficiently utilize waste cooking oil (WCO) as the sole carbon source to produce monomers of bioplastics, namely, medium-chain α,ω-dicarboxylic acids (MCDCAs). First, the biosynthetic pathway of MCDCAs was designed and rewired by modifying the β-oxidation pathway and introducing an ω-oxidation pathway. Then, metabolic engineering and laboratory adaptive evolution were applied for improving the pathway efficiency of fatty acids utilization. Finally, the engineered strain E. coli AA0306 was able to produce 15.26 g/L MCDCAs with WCO as the sole carbon source. This study provides an economically attractive strategy for biomanufacturing bioplastics from food wastes, which has a great potentiality to be developed as a wide range of enabling biotechnologies for achieving green revolution.

The free fatty acids that contain one to eight carbons (C 1 –C 8 ) in biodiesel would affect the quality of biodiesel. It is still a matter of challenge to simultaneously determine the composition of C 1 –C 8 fatty acids in seed oil and seed oil-based biodiesel. Herein, a novel method of charge derivatization coupling with direct infusion mass spectrometry (CD-DIMS) was developed for the determination of the C 1 –C 8 fatty acids in biodiesels. A fixed-charge derivatization reagent, 1-cyclohexyl-3-(2-morpholinoethyl)carbodiimide (CMCT), was used to convert fatty acids into their cationic derivatives, which significantly improved the sensitivity and selectivity of detection. Good linearity was observed with the limits of detection (LODs) in the range of 0.0002–0.001 μg mL −1 for the investigated fatty acids. The recovery was in the range of 85.1%–101.9% and the matrix effect was within the range of 75.5–93.2%. The developed method was carried out to analyze C 1 –C 8 fatty acids in rubber seed oil (RSO) and RSO-based biodiesels produced by different catalysts, including NaOH, TiO 2 , and carbodiimide . It was also applied to the dynamic monitoring of C 1 –C 8 fatty acids in RSO and produced RSO biodiesels during the oxidation process. As results, formic acid , acetic acid, and propionic acid were detected in aged RSO and biodiesel samples. The contents of formic acid, acetic acid, and propionic acid all increased in aged RSO and biodiesels, but with different growth rates. These results demonstrated that the developed CD-DIMS method can provide a quick, accurate, and sensitive analysis of C 1 –C 8 fatty acids in seed oil and biodiesel samples.

Butyl hexanoate (BuHE) is an important long-chain ester that is widely used in the food, beverage and cosmetic industries. In this work, reactive extraction concept was proposed to intensify the BuHE formation in a biphasic system, in which deep eutectic solvent (DES) comprising 2-methylimidazole (2-MIm) and p -toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA) was used as dual solvent-catalyst. First, the effect of 2-MIm to PTSA molar ratio on esterification was investigated to determine the optimum DES of [2-MIm:2PTSA], which was characterized by FT-IR and TGA. Then, the liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) and esterification experiments were carried out to confirm the extraction and catalytic effect of [2-MIm:2PTSA], respectively. Afterwards, the pseudo-homogeneous kinetic model was employed to describe the esterification kinetics. Finally, the intensification mechanism of reactive extraction for BuHE formation was proposed according to the experiments and interaction effect analysis.

A series of natural, environmentally friendly and low-cost menthol-based hydrophobic deep eutectic solvents (DES) were synthesized to extract and concentrate solutes from dilute aqueous solutions, especially triphenylmethane (TPM) dye micropollutants. The system has excellent extraction performance for TPM. Density functional theory (DFT) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation were used to quantitatively analyze the effect of the DES composition and TPM structure on the distribution of target molecules in two phases. The solvation free energy of ethyl violet (EV) in DES (−17.128 to −21.681 kcal mol−1) is much larger than that in water (−0.411 kcal mol−1), and increases with the increase of the HBD chain length, which is proportional to the extraction rate, indicating that the TPM molecules are more inclined to the DES environment, especially long-chain DES, than aqueous solution. For the same C12DES, the extraction efficiency of the TPM dyes follows the order: ethyl violet (EV) (99.9%) > crystal violet (CV) (99.6%) > methyl violet (MV) (98.8%). EV has the smallest positive charge and the smallest dipole moment (9.109 D), and the Flory–Huggins parameters of EV (χEV–C12DES 0.053) relative to MV and CV are the smallest in C12DES, and are also the largest in water (χEV–H2O 0.053), indicating that EV has the largest polarity difference with H2O and is more easily detached from water and compatible with the long-chain DES phase. The motion of EV and MV on the phase interface of DES and water was calculated to further analyze from the molecular level. At the same time, EV tends to move into the DES phase. In summary, the excellent extraction ability of DES for TPM is verified through experiments and simulations, providing solid theoretical support in terms of separation in other fields.
