Prebiotics are selectively utilized substrates that modulate gut microbiota and host health, yet different prebiotic structures may elicit distinct ecological and metabolic responses. In this study, we investigated the effects of five structurally di...

Plasma-activated water (PAW) is an emerging disinfectant; however, its potential as a quorum sensing inhibitor (QSI) for biofilm control remains underexplored, and its action mechanisms have not been elucidated. This study investigated the effects of...

Due to the high toxicity and widespread distribution of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), there is significant interest in efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly microbial degradation methods. Rhodococcus opacus PD630 cell-free supernatant (RCFS) shows exc...

Ziziphi Spinosae Semen (ZSS), a medicinal and edible homologous herbal drug, is commercially available in both raw and fried (FZSS) forms and has been widely used to improve sleep quality. This study aimed to elucidate the differences in chemical com...

This paper introduces an innovative methodology for optimizing recommendation strategies across different populations within the food industry. While previous approaches to recommending courses have overlooked cultural and age-based preferences, our...

Maize, a globally important crop, is highly susceptible to aflatoxin contamination, posing a serious threat. Therefore, accurate detection of aflatoxin levels in maize is of critical importance. In this study, the Multi-Scale Feature Network with Eff...

Dietary supplements provide essential nutrients and bioactive compounds that enhance health and traditional therapies. However, the quality and composition of these supplements can vary significantly, potentially containing inconsistent levels of act...

The sensitive and efficient detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) is critical for protecting agricultural ecosystems and public health. A dual-mode plasmonic colorimetric/photothermal aptasensor, based on a Mn2+-powered DNA walker for mediating gold nanobi...

Background/Objectives: Orange peels (OP), a major by-product of the juice industry, are rich in bioactive compounds (phenolic compounds, pectin, carotenoids, and essential oils). Its valorization represents a promising route to reduce food waste and...

Diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), a common environmental plasticizer, induces oxidative damage and cell apoptosis without efficient treatment. Tremella fuciformis polysaccharides (TFPs) are known natural antioxidants, yet their protection against DEHP t...
