Abstract Torulaspora delbrueckii is an emerging yeast species in the beverage and food industry that suitable for alcoholic fermentation to improve organoleptic quality of wine, beer, mead, other beverages. Modern consumer preference toward new flavors products drives application T. ferment less traditional fruits vegetables. Thus, it has become increasingly relevant define those metabolites pr...

Herbivore-induced plant volatiles affect the systemic response of plants to local damage and hence represent potential plant hormones. These signals can also lead to "plant-plant communication," a defense induction in yet undamaged plants growing close to damaged neighbors. We observed this phenomenon in the context of disease resistance. Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) plants in a natural popula...

Rationale Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is mainly caused by previous exposure to asbestos fibers and has a poor prognosis. Due to a long latency period between exposure and diagnosis, MPM incidence is expected to peak between 2020-2025. Screening of asbestos-exposed individuals is believed to improve early detection and hence, MPM management. Recent developments focus on breath analysis ...

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are indoor air pollutants with many adverse health effects for humans. Ozone reactions with human surfaces (skin, hair, and clothing) are an important source of VOCs in the indoor air, especially in aircraft cabins because of their typically high ozone concentrations and occupant densities. Therefore, it is important to study the ozoneinitiated VOC emissions fr...

We investigated the role that the ratio and concentration of ubiquitous plant volatiles play in providing host specificity for the diet specialist grape berry moth Paralobesia viteana (Clemens) in the process of locating its primary host plant Vitis sp. In the first flight tunnel experiment, using a previously identified attractive blend with seven common but essential components ("optimized bl...

Selection of a starter culture with excellent viability and metabolic activity is important for inoculated fermentation of traditional food. To obtain a suitable starter culture for making Chinese sesame-flavored liquor, the yeast and bacterium community structures were investigated during spontaneous and solid-state fermentations of this type of liquor. Five dominant species in spontaneous fer...

Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC × GC) is the most effective multidimensional separation technique for in-depth investigations of complex samples of volatiles (VOC) in food. However, each analytical run produces dense, multi-dimensional data, so elaboration and interpretation of chemical information is challenging. This study exploits recent advances of GC × GC-MS chromatogr...

The Asian cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a major type of cultivated rice in Asia [1]. The Kam sweet rice reported on Science have been able to preserve their varieties against genetic contamination from Indica strains [2]. Gou Cengao is an indigenous aromatic Kam sweet rice variety of China. This study aimed to characterize the effect of abscisic acid(ABA) on volatile compounds in grains ...

The effects of two levels (1.4 vs 2.8%) of fresh garlic on lipid oxidation and microbial growth in pork patties were evaluated. Hunter color (L, a, b), pH, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), oxidative volatile compounds, total bacteria and Enterobacteriaceae in the pork patties with or without fresh garlic were measured during storage at 4℃. Addition of fresh garlic decreased redn...

Cis boleti (Coleoptera: Ciidae) preferentially colonizes fungi from the genus Trametes that are known as important wood decomposers. The aim of our research was to investigate if C. boleti uses the chemical volatile composition of its fungal host, Trametes gibbosa, as a key attraction factor. Therefore, the T. gibbosa fruiting body volatiles were analysed by using gas chromatography-mass spectr...
