Summary: Talipot starch-based biocomposite films were prepared by incorporating plant mucilage derived from various sources. The addition of plant mucilage enhanced the crosslinking and relative crystallinity of the films. The biocomposite films exhibited similar structures to native starch films with finer corrugations. The moisture content decreased while thickness and opacity increased with the addition of plant mucilage. BSM-TSF showed the highest tensile strength among all biocomposite films and demonstrated improved thermal and biodegradation stability.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of adding resistant starch and protein on the oil uptake and quality of fried batter-coated nuts. The results showed that the addition of resistant starch and protein increased the hardness and fracturability of the batter-coated nuts, while reducing the oil content. The microstructure of the batter also indicated that the addition of protein resulted in a denser and more uniform texture.

Summary: In this study, a one-step, in-situ method was used to synthesize CDs@ZIF-8 by integrating green-emitting carbon dots (CDs) with zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8). The resulting CDs@ZIF-8 exhibited ultrasensitive probe properties for detection, showing enhanced sensitivity and a wider detection range compared to CDs alone. The improved performance was attributed to the porous ZIF-8, which allowed for target enrichment around the CDs and prevented their aggregation. The study provides a new approach for utilizing CDs under limited conditions by leveraging metal-organic frameworks.

Summary: In this study, beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) Pickering emulsion and cinnamaldehyde/beta-cyclodextrin (CIN/beta-CD) Pickering emulsion were prepared and their oxidation and digestion properties were investigated. It was found that CIN/beta-CD composite exhibited better dispersion at the oil-water interface and formed a more stable oil-water interface layer compared to beta-CD. Additionally, CIN/beta-CD Pickering emulsion showed higher resistance to oxidative deterioration compared to beta-CD Pickering emulsion.

Summary: Preharvest application of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) can enhance the quality of postharvest Shine Muscat grapes by increasing the content of chlorophylls and carotenoids, and regulating the accumulation of reducing sugar and titratable acid. MeJA also affects the phenolic and terpenoid components, leading to higher levels of trans-ferulic acid, resveratrol, quercetin, kaempferol, and terpenoid components in the treated berries. The upregulated expression of genes involved in the phenylpropanoid pathway and terpenoid biosynthesis pathway indicates their involvement in MeJA signal transduction and regulation.
