pH-Responsive strips integrated with resazurin and carbon dots for monitoring shrimp freshness
Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces. 2022 Nov 11;221:113013. doi: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2022.113013. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCarbon dots (CDs) were synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal approach using tangerine peel (Tan) and resazurin (Res) to fabricate biocompatible indicators for food freshness. The CDs' pH-responsive mechanism, morphology, zeta potential, XPS, and optical and fluorescence analysis were investigated. The as-prepared tangerine peel/resazurin carbon dots (Tan/Res CDs) exhibited pH-responsive emission that changed from yellow to orange as the pH value increased. The Tan/Res CDs showed the sensing ability of...

Oviposition performance of tephritid polyphagous Anastrepha fraterculus and Ceratitis capitata during three periods of exposure to fruit
In this study, we present discussions about the oviposition behaviour of flies and the host infestation index. This index can reflect the reproductive capacity that each fruit species offers for each fly species. Here, we see an adult recovery rate greater than 89% in the highest infestation index observed in guava (185 A. fraterculus per unit fruit) and peach (220 C. capitata per unit fruit). Understanding the reproductive capacity of each host can help with risk analysis and the management of fruit flies.PMID:36287405 | DOI:10.1590/1519-6984.266065 (Source: Braz J Biol)

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 6157: Effect of D-Limonene Nanoemulsion Edible Film on Banana (Musa sapientum Linn.) Post-Harvest Preservation
Yu-Shen Liang
D-limonene (4-isopropenyl-1-methylcyclohexene) is an important compound in several citrus essential oils (such as orange, lemon, tangerine, lime, and grapefruit). It has been used as a flavoring agent and as a food preservative agent, with generally recognized as safe (GRAS) status. D-limonene has been well-studied for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-cancer, and antibacterial properties. The antibacterial activity of D-limonene against food-borne pathogens was investigated in this study by preparing a D-limonene nanoemulsion. The D-limonene solution and nanoemulsion have been prepared in six co...

Chinese herbal medicine combined with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis of contributions of specific medicinal materials to tumor response
Conclusion: Synthesized evidence showed moderate certainty that CHM plus oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy may promote improvement in tumor response in AGC. CHM treatment is safe for AGC. Due to the poor quality of included RCTs and small samplesizes, the quality of synthesized evidence was not high. Specific combinations of herbs appeared to produce higher contributions to ORR than the herb individually. Each of this seven above mentioned herbs has been shown in experimental studies to potentially contribute to the improvement of tumor response. To support this conclusion, these seven herbs are worthy of further clinical res...

Hesperidin promotes gastric motility in rats with functional dyspepsia by regulating Drp1-mediated ICC mitophagy
Hesperidin is one of the main active ingredients of Citrus aurantiumL. (Rutaceae) and tangerine peel, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. In previous study, we found that gastric motility disorder in functional dyspepsia (FD) rats accompanied by excessive autophagy/mitochondrial swelling and even vacuolization in the interstitial cells of cajal (ICC), but the exact mechanism has not yet been investigated. Therefore, we used different doses of hesperidin (50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg, and 200 mg/kg) to intervene in FD rats, and found that medium doses of hesperidin (100 mg/kg) significantly increased gastric mo...

Risk assessment of carbofuran residues in fruits and vegetables at the Chinese market: A 7-year survey
Ecotoxicol Environ Saf. 2022 May 25;239:113667. doi: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2022.113667. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe United Nations designated 2021 as the International Year of Fruits and Vegetables (IYFV), with the goal of educating populations regarding the role of such produce in nutrition, food safety, and overall health. Carbofuran is a highly toxic insecticide and nematocide, and its use to treat fruit trees, vegetables, tea, and medicinal herbs is thus prohibited. However, carbofuran residues are still detectable via LC-Q-TOF/MS in fruit and vegetable samples collected from 138 sites in 31 regions. In the present st...

Carotenoderma with hypothyroidism
A 5-year-old girl presented with a 3-month history of yellow skin pigmentation of the skin and fatigue. She had no significant past medical history. On examination, the yellow pigmentation was generalised, especially on the palms and soles (figure 1), with normal sclerae. Her growth had recently slowed (+0.9 cm/4 months). She and her twin ate one to two tangerines a day but not carrots; additionally, her sister did not develop yellow skin coloration. Her serum bilirubin level was normal, but her serum β-carotene level was elevated (126.9 ng/mL; reference, 20.4–105.2 ng/mL). Furthermore, she had hypothyroidism wi...
