BACKGROUND: Bagging is one of the most important techniques for the production of high-quality fruits. In the act of cultivation, we found a new kind of browning in peel of the apple fruit that occurs before harvest and worsens during the storage period. There are many studies on...

Optimal handling is the most important means to ensure adequate sample quality. We aimed to investigate whether pre-centrifugation delay time and temperature could be accurately predicted and to what extent variability induced by pre-centrifugation management can be adjusted for. We used untarget...

Recent evidence shows elevated circulating long-chain ceramide levels predicts atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) independently of cholesterol. Although targeting ceramides signaling may provide therapeutic benefits beyond the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, the underlying mechanis...

Background Obesity is a major risk factor for cognitive impairment and related neurodegenerative disorders. Whole grains are rich in polyphenols and dietary fiber, and their consumption has been associated with improvements in obesity and cognitive deficits. Gut microbial genes encode enzymes tha...

Understanding the formation mechanism of the flavor compounds in stinky tofu brine is crucial for controlling the flavor quality of Changsha stinky tofu. Dynamic changes in associated bacteria, enzymes, and differential metabolites in the metabolic pathway of aromatic amino acids in brine were in...
