Machine learning supported single-stranded DNA sensor array for multiple foodborne pathogenic and spoilage bacteria identification in milk Food Chem. (IF 8.5) Pub Date : 2024-09-06 Yi Wang, Yihang Feng, Zhenlei Xiao, Yangchao Luo
Ensuring food safety through rapid and accurate detection of pathogenic bacteria in food products is a critical challenge in the food supply chain. In this study, a non-specific optical sensor array was proposed for the identification of multiple pathogenic bacteria in contaminated milk samples. Fluorescence-labeled single-stranded DNA was efficiently quenched by two-dimensional nanoparticles and subsequently

Investigation of the aroma profile and blending strategy of Lu'an Guapian teas during grain rain period by sensory evaluation combined with SBSE-GC–MS, GC–O and OAV Food Chem. (IF 8.5) Pub Date : 2024-09-06 Yida Wu, Tiehan Li, Wenjing Huang, Qiuyan Liu, Guojian Deng, Jixin Zhang, Yuming Wei, Yujie Wang, Jingming Ning
Grain Rain Period (GRP), one of the 24 solar terms in China, signifies a crucial phase for the transformation of tea quality, especially for (LAGP) tea. During GRP, LAGP teas showed 3 distinct aroma profiles, each spanning 3–4 days. Specifically, the sensory evaluation result revealed that LAGP tea exhibited stronger flowery and fresh aromas in the early phase, with the soybean-like aroma significantly

Medicine and food homology substances: A review of bioactive ingredients, pharmacological effects and applications Food Chem. (IF 8.5) Pub Date : 2024-09-06 Lei Wang, Xuecheng Zhu, Huilin Liu, Baoguo Sun
In recent years, the idea of medicine and food homology (MFH), which highlights the intimate relationship between food and medicine, has gained international recognition. Specifically, MFH substances have the ability to serve as both food and medicine. Many foods have been reported to have good nutritional and medical values, not only for satiety but also for nourishing the body and treating diseases
