Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 7966: Research Progress of Rapid Non-Destructive Detection Technology in the Field of Apple Mold Heart Disease
Bai Teng Hui Apples are rich in vitamins and dietary fiber and are one of the essential fruits in people’s daily diet. China has always been a big apple consumer, and with the improvement of people’s life quality, nutrition, and health requirements, the demand for high-quality apples has increased year by year. Apple mold heart disease is one of the main diseases affecting apple quality. However, this disease cannot be easily detected from the surface, so it is difficult to detect mold heart disease. Therefore, this paper focuses on the analysis of seven non-destructive detection technolo...

GSE248662 The effect of Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate (EGCG), a main active ingredient in tea residues, on improving fruit quality and prolonging postharvest storage in apple
In this study, we found that exogenous application of EGCG effectively improved a series of nutritional growth indicators, including seedling growth status and photosynthetic activity. Additionally, it significantly increased indicators of reproductive growth, such as fruit diameter, soluble solids content, surface wax, and surface smoothness. Through our experiments, we further discovered that greasiness primarily affects fruit respiration, accelerating fruit decay and causing harm during storage, while EGCG mitigates this process. We also found that the application of tea residue had similar effects to exogenous EGCG. Co...

Improving the performance of Ca-alginate films through incorporating zein-caseinate nanoparticles-loaded cinnamaldehyde
This study aimed to fabricate and characterize the Ca-alginate films functionalized by incorporating zein nanoparticles containing cinnamaldehyde (CA). The zein nanoparticles were coated with Na-caseinate (CN) to inhibit the precipitation of zein in the alginate solution. Afterward, the physical, mechanical, morphological, and barrier properties of the nanocomposite films were evaluated. The particle sizes of different zein nanoparticles (with/without CA and CN) ranged between 43.58 and 251.66 nm. The addition of free CA, zein, and CN nanoparticles significantly increased the thickness, opacity, thermal stability, and wate...

Sensors, Vol. 23, Pages 9482: Dynamic and Real-Time Object Detection Based on Deep Learning for Home Service Robots
Shibo Cai Home service robots operating indoors, such as inside houses and offices, require the real-time and accurate identification and location of target objects to perform service tasks efficiently. However, images captured by visual sensors while in motion states usually contain varying degrees of blurriness, presenting a significant challenge for object detection. In particular, daily life scenes contain small objects like fruits and tableware, which are often occluded, further complicating object recognition and positioning. A dynamic and real-time object detection algorithm is proposed for home service robots...

Analysis and experimental assessment of an optimized SERS substrate used to detect thiabendazole in apples with high sensitivity
Anal Bioanal Chem. 2023 Nov 25. doi: 10.1007/s00216-023-05055-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPesticides that linger in the environment and ecosystems for an extended period can cause severe and dangerous health problems in humans. To detect pesticides in foods, the development of high-sensitivity and quick screening technologies was required. This research investigated the performance of Au@Ag NPs with varying thicknesses of the silver shell for detecting trace quantities of thiabendazole (TBZ) in apples using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The Au@Ag NPs were synthesized by coating 32 nm gold seeds with diff...
