Improvement of cross-linked films based on chitosan/diepoxy-poly (ethylene glycol) incorporating trans-cinnamaldehyde essential oil: Preparation, properties, and application in banana storage
In this study, development of bioactive coatings containing 1 % (w/v) chitosan (CS), 0.6 % (w/v) diepoxy-polyethylene glycol (PEG), and trans-cinnamaldehyde (CIN) was achieved. The physicochemical and biological properties of the coatings were investigated. The tensile strength, light transmission, water vapor permeability (WVP), and antibacterial properties were enhanced by the incorporation of CIN. The CIN-containing films appeared compact and rough, as observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). In addition, the quality attributes of the bananas were evaluated at room temperature...

Ionotropic receptors mediate olfactory learning and memory in Drosophila
Phenylacetaldehyde (an IR84a-responsive aromatic compound) forms LTM with sucrose.Orco1,Ir84aMI00501, andIr8a1 confirm exclusivity of IR84a/IR8a in PAH/SUC conditioning. Results underline the involvement of IRs in facilitating a flexible behavior. AbstractPhenylacetaldehyde (PAH), an aromatic compound, is present in a diverse range of fruits including overripe bananas and prickly pear cactus, the two major host fruits forDrosophila melanogaster. PAH acts as a potent ligand for the ionotropic receptor 84a (IR84a) in the adult fruit fly and it is detected by the IR84a/IR8a heterotetrameric complex. Its role in the male court...

Gelatin/carboxymethylcellulose composite film combined with photodynamic antibacterial: New prospect for fruit preservation
In this study, gelatin (G) and sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) were used as film materials, with the addition of curcumin (Cur), a photosensitive substance, to investigate the changes in the physical and chemical properties of the film and its application in fruit preservation. The results demonstrated that Cur was compatible with the film. With the addition of Cur, the thickness of the film increased up to 1.3 times, while the moisture content was reduced to 12.10 %. The tensile strength (TS) and elongation at break (EAB) of the film can reach 8.84 MPa and 19.33 %, respectively. The photodynamic antibacterial experime...

The metabolism of membrane lipid participates in the occurrence of chilling injury in cold-stored banana fruit
Food Res Int. 2023 Nov;173(Pt 2):113415. doi: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113415. Epub 2023 Aug 28.ABSTRACTBanana fruit is highly vulnerable to chilling injury (CI) during cold storage, which results in quality deterioration and commodity reduction. The purpose of this study was to investigate the membrane lipid metabolism mechanism underlying low temperature-induced CI in banana fruit. Chilling temperature significantly induced CI symptoms in banana fruit, compared to control temperature (22 °C). Using physiological experiments and transcriptomic analyses, we found that chilling temperature (7 °C) increased CI index, malondi...

Humans aren ’t the only fat primate
Go to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and you’re unlikely to encounter chimps so plump they have trouble climbing trees or vervet monkeys so chubby they huff and puff as they swing from branch to branch. Humans are a different story. Walk down a typical U.S. street and almost half of the people you encounter are likely to have obesity.
Scientists have long blamed our status as the
“fattest primate”
on genes that help us store fat more efficiently or diets overloaded with sugars or fat. But a new study of 40 species of nonhuman primates, ranging from tiny mouse lemurs to hulking gorillas, finds m...

Effect of resolution enhancement using metal ion assisted strategy based on electrospray ionization-ion mobility spectrometry: A case study of carbendazim and thiabendazole in fruits
Talanta. 2023 Sep 2;267:125151. doi: 10.1016/j.talanta.2023.125151. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA method for the rapid and simultaneous determination of carbendazim and thiabendazole residues by electrospray ionization-ion mobility spectrometry (ESI-IMS) combined with a metal ion-assisted technique was developed and validated in different fruit matrices. The metal ion assisted strategy was performed instead of tedious pre-separation procedures to overcome the limitation of low resolution of IMS. Four transition metal cations, Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II), were screened and their interactions with carbendazim and th...
