Why Eat Raisins?
A recent issue of The Journal called attention to the current extravagance, if it may be so designated, of advertising which is intended to secure increased use of a variety of articles of food. So far as this procedure aims to call attention to the dietary value or culinary excellence of special brands of products or to types of less well known edible substances, there is in general little occasion for criticism. Even the ancients lauded their specialties; and there can be no harm in announcing the availability of choice citrus fruits or particularly palatable and wholesome ready-to-eat cereals or either a novel or staple...

Molecules, Vol. 26, Pages 6206: Effect of Hormonization Treatment on Yield Quantity and Quality, Contents of Biologically Active Compounds, and Antioxidant Activity in ‘Einset Seedless’ Grapevine Fruits and Raisins
In this study, we determined the effect of hormonization treatment on yield quantity and quality, content of biologically active compounds, and antioxidant activity in fruits and raisins of ‘Einset Seedless’ grapevine. Field studies were conducted in 2017 at Nobilis Vineyard (50°39′ N; 21°34′ E) in the Sandomierz Upland. Analytical studies were carried out in the Laboratory of the University of Life Sciences in Lublin. Hormonized fruits and raisins, which were dried at 40 °C in a food dryer for 7 days, were the experimental material. It was shown that the application of the hormonization treatment had a signific...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe complex chemistry of copper (Cu) in freshwater sediments at low concentrations is not well understood. We evaluated the transformation processes of Cu added to freshwater sediments under suboxic and anoxic conditions. Freshwater sediments from three sources in Michigan with different characteristics (Spring Creek, River Raisin, and Maple Lake) were spiked with 30 or 60 mg kg-1 Cu and incubated under a nitrogen atmosphere. After 28-d, each treatment subset was amended with organic matter (OM) to promote anoxic condi...

Electron Beam Susceptibility of Enteric Viruses and Surrogate Organisms on Fruit, Seed and Spice Matrices
The objective of this study was to use high-energy electron beam (HEEB) treatments to find surrogate microorganisms for enteric viruses and to use the selected surrogates as proof of concept to investigate low-energy electron beam (LEEB) treatments for enteric virus inactivation at industrial scale on frozen blueberries. Six food matrices inoculated with HAV (hepatitis A virus), MNV S99 (murine norovirus), bacteriophages MS2 and Q β, andGeobacillus stearothermophilus spores were treated with HEEB at 10 MeV using 4, 8 and 16 kGy doses.G. stearothermophilus spores showed the highest inactivation on all matrices except on...

Taxonomic Reappraisal of Lineus longifissus Auct. (Nemertea: Pilidiophora) from Japan for the First Time in 122 Years.
Abstract
Having been reported in 1898 for the first time from Japanese waters, the lineid heteronemertean Lineus longifissus auct. is known to inhabit tidal flats under the influence of the warm Kuroshio Current along the coasts of Honshu and southwestward, characteristically with a uniformly raisin-colored to black body lacking a caudal cirrus. The taxonomic identity of the Japanese L. longifissus auct. has been questioned by specialists because of some obvious morphological differences between Lineus longifissus (Hubrecht, 1887) s.str. (now in Heteronemertes Chernyshev, 1995), originally described from t...

The Effect of Grape Products Containing Polyphenols on C-reactive protein Levels: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Abstract
Although grape polyphenols can decrease chronic inflammations, their effect on C-reactive protein (CRP) levels is still controversial. So, this meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the effect of grape products containing polyphenols on CRP concentrations. In order to collect the relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs), the data bases of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched up to March 30, 2020. The random-effects model, standardized mean difference, and 95% confidence interval were applied in data analysis. Meta-analysis was conducted over 17 eligible RCTs co...
