Prevalence and clinical features of pollen-food allergy syndrome in adults with seasonal allergic rhinitis
CONCLUSIONS: PFAS can be frequently observed in adults who are followed up for SAR. The most frequently involved foods are eggplant, walnut, kiwi, peach, and melon in Ankara Province. The symptoms of PFAS are usually localized in the oropharyngeal area and are self-limited.PMID:36647856 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202301_30858 (Source: Pharmacological Reviews)

Denoising using Noise2Void for low-field magnetic resonance imaging: A phantom study
In this study, a kiwi fruit was scanned using a 0.35 Tesla MRI system, and the image qualities at pre- and postdenoising were evaluated. Structural similarity (SSIM), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and contrast ratio (CR) were measured, and visual assessment of noise and sharpness was observed. Both SSIM and SNR were significantly improved using N2V (P < 0.05). CR was unchanged between pre- and postdenoising images. The results of visual assessment for noise revealed higher scores in postdenoising images than that in predenoising images. The sharpness scores of postdenoising images were high when SNR was low. N2V ...

Drying characteristics of thin layer of potato (Solanum tuberosum): experimental and computational studies
In this study, various drying characteristics of the solar-dried Solanum tuberosum samples of different thicknesses have been investigated at variable climate condition of Lucknow. A mathematical model has also been developed to validate experimental results to predict the drying rate, free moisture content, and other parameters. Pre-treatment of the food samples was also done before the experimental runs on the fabricated solar dryer. Global radiation has also been monitored during the study to correlate the heat transfer rate in inner and outer sides of the solar drying chamber. SEM analysis has also been done to analyze...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 575: Delivery of Catechins from Green Tea Waste in Single- and Double-Layer Liposomes via Their Incorporation into a Functional Green Kiwifruit Juice
In this study, GTWCs were extracted using a green method and then encapsulated in both single- (SLLs) and double-layer liposomes (DLLs). The encapsulated extracts were subsequently incorporated into a fresh green kiwifruit juice. SLLs and DLLs containing GTWCs had a size of about 180 and 430 nm with a zeta potential of −35 and +25 mV, respectively. Electron microscopy illustrated the separation of the SLLs and fibre in kiwifruit juice and attraction of the DLLs to this fibre. Liposomal GTWCs were effectively maintained in the kiwifruit juice during the 28 days of storage (4 °C), demonstrating the ...

Viruses, Vol. 14, Pages 2704: Advancements in the Use of Bacteriophages to Combat the Kiwifruit Canker Phytopathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae
hang Sun Bin Li Over the last several decades, kiwifruit production has been severely damaged by the bacterial plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa), resulting in severe economic losses worldwide. Currently, copper bactericides and antibiotics are the main tools used to control this bacterial disease. However, their use is becoming increasingly ineffective due to the emergence of antibiotic resistance. In addition, environmental issues and the changes in the composition of soil bacterial communities are also concerning when using these substances. Although biocontrol methods have shown promising an...

Inactivation of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris spores, single or composite Escherichia coli and native microbiota in isotonic fruit-flavoured sports drinks processed by UV-C light
Int J Food Microbiol. 2022 Nov 24;386:110024. doi: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2022.110024. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPasteurized sports drinks and other fruit-based beverages are susceptible to deterioration due to thermal processing ineffectiveness to inactivate certain spoilage microorganisms, like Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris. This represents a major challenge for the beverage industry. The goals of this study were to: i) investigate the UV-C inactivation (annular thin film unit, actinometrical delivered fluence: 795-1270 mJ/cm2, 10-15 min, 20 °C, 1.8 L/h, Reh = 391-1067, recirculation mode operation) and the evolut...

Genome-wide analysis of MADS-box gene family in kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis var. chinensis) and their potential role in floral sex differentiation
In this study, we have identified 89 MADS-box genes from A. chinensis Red 5 genome. These genes are distributed on 26 chromosomes and are classified into type I (21 genes) and type II (68 genes). Overall, type II AcMADS-box genes have more complex structures than type I with more exons, protein domains, and motifs, indicating that type II genes may have more diverse functions. Gene duplication analysis showed that most collinearity occurred in type II AcMADS-box genes, which was consistent with a large number of type II genes. Analysis of cis-acting elements in promoters showed that AcMADS-box genes are mainly associated w...

Governing taste: data, temporality and everyday kiwifruit dry matter performances
AbstractData is essential to governing those emerging matters of concern that confront the agrifood every day. But data is no neutral intermediary. It disrupts, exposes, and creates new social, economic, political, and environmental possibilities, whilst simultaneously hiding, excluding, and foreclosing others. Scholars have become attuned to both the constitutive role of data in creating everyday worlds, and the need to develop critical accounts of the materialities, spatialities and multiplicities of data relationships. Whereas this emerging work develops insight to the capacity for data topologies to reterritorialise th...
