Chemobiocatalytic transfromation of biomass into furfurylamine with mixed amine donor in an eco-friendly medium
Bioresour Technol. 2023 Aug 5:129638. doi: 10.1016/j.biortech.2023.129638. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBiobased furfurylamine (FAM) is a versatile platform molecule for producing additives, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides. Recombinant E. coli HNND-AlaDH was created by co-expressing L-alanine dehydrogenase (AlaDH) and mutated Aspergillus terreus ω-transaminase (HNND), aiming to convert furfural (FUR) into FAM using inexpensive L-alanine and isopropylamine as mixed amine donors. In ChCl:FA:OA (10 wt%), pineapple peel, bagasse, barley shell, peanut shell, and corn stalk could be efficiently transformed into FUR under 170 Â...

Occurrence of Heat-Resistant Mold Ascospores in Pineapple and Sugarcane Field Soils in Thailand
Int J Microbiol. 2023 Jul 27;2023:8347560. doi: 10.1155/2023/8347560. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTHeat-resistant molds (HRMs) are important spoilage fungi of heat-processed fruit products worldwide. Ascospores of HRMs are widely distributed in the soil in which fruits are grown and are often found associated with raw fruit materials. To date, there is little available information on the distribution of HRMs in the soil and on their heat resistance. Thus, this study determined the presence and characterized the heat resistance of HRMs in soil samples from pineapple and sugarcane fields in Thailand. HRMs were detected in all so...

Bio-based solutions for reducing loss and waste of fresh fruits and vegetables: an industry perspective
Curr Opin Biotechnol. 2023 Aug 2;83:102971. doi: 10.1016/j.copbio.2023.102971. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTReducing loss and waste of fresh produce requires a systems-wide approach, where supply chain, logistical, and cold chain considerations are balanced with plant breeding, biotechnological, biochemical, and bioinspired solutions. Even though bioengineered specialty crops got off to a rocky start, genetically modified nonbrowning apples and potatoes have been on the market for almost a decade, with bioengineered pineapples, tomatoes, and gene-edited leafy greens with novel taste and nutritional profiles entering the m...

Machine learning applications to improve flavor and nutritional content of  horticultural crops through breeding and genetics
Curr Opin Biotechnol. 2023 Jul 27;83:102968. doi: 10.1016/j.copbio.2023.102968. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOver the last decades, significant strides were made in understanding the biochemical factors influencing the nutritional content and flavor profile of fruits and vegetables. Product differentiation in the produce aisle is the natural consequence of increasing consumer power in the food industry. Cotton-candy grapes, specialty tomatoes, and pineapple-flavored white strawberries provide a few examples. Given the increased demand for flavorful varieties, and pressing need to reduce micronutrient malnutrition, we expe...
