Hybridization chain reaction-based aptasensor for sensitive detection of
Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) is recognized as a high-risk pathogen responsible for severe food safety incidents. To address this concern, this study developed a fluorescent aptasensor based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) for the rapid detection of S. aureus in milk. The…

Development of a multiplex PCR assay for the authentication of six commercial
The global expansion of the Pyropia (laver) market requires reliable methods to authenticate species and prevent economically motivated adulteration (EMA). While automated molecular techniques exist, their reliance on specialized instrumentation limits routine application in standard laboratories…

Comparative small RNA profiling of donkey, human and bovine milk-derived extracellular vesicles reveals conserved and distinct miRNA abundance patterns
Milk-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) carry small RNAs, but the EV-associated miRNA repertoire of donkey milk remains poorly characterized. Small-RNA sequencing was performed on independently prepared EV-enriched preparations from three donkeys, with representative EV characterization performed…

A fraction of diet-derived microRNAs present in plant extracellular vesicles remain detectable after gastrointestinal digestion and shows epithelial uptake in a CaCo-2 cell model
Diet constitutes a source of exogenous miRNAs that are detectable in humans. Source, stability to digestion, and cellular uptake of diet-derived miRNAs are debated topics. Here, we studied the stability of cauliflower miRNAs to cooking (100 °C, 20 min) and gastrointestinal digestion (static…

Elucidating nutrient composition and biosynthesis in
Macadamia ( Macadamia integrifolia ), a high-value cash crop, has garnered significant attention due to its rich nutritional profile and unique health benefits. Previous studies have primarily focused on analyzing nutritional components, without systematically elucidating the mechanisms underlying…

Nutrition, phytochemical profile, bioactivities and applications in food industry of banana peels: a comprehensive review
Global banana production exceeds 139 million tonnes annually, and the peel, which accounts for approximately one-third of the fruit mass, is largely discarded during processing. Covering literature published between 2020 and 2026, this review tests the hypothesis that banana peel of Musa spp. is a…

Xenia effect of ‘Murcott’ tangor pollen on sugar-acid metabolism and phenolic compounds in Fuju
The sweetness of citrus fruits is primarily determined by the concentrations and ratios of sugars and organic acids. The xenia effect, defined as the influence of pollen genotype on fruit phenotype, has been reported in several fruit crops and may affect traits such as fruit shape, sugar–acid…

An electrochemical aptasensor for determining fumonisin B1: A signal-on mechanism based on target-induced conformational switching
Fumonisin B1 (FB₁) is a highly toxic mycotoxin commonly found in maize and other staple crops, posing significant threats to food safety and public health. There is an urgent need for the development of portable, on-site detection technologies to monitor contamination in agricultural environments…

Acute plant-derived C18 fatty acid exposure was associated with changes in muscle 5-LOX protein abundance and volatile profiles in triploid rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
Driven by sustainability, plant oils are increasingly used to replace fish oil in aquafeeds, thereby altering muscle fatty acid composition and potentially affecting volatile profiles. Lipoxygenases (LOXs) participate in fatty-acid bioconversion, but the role of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) in non-immune…

Integrated analysis of phenotypes and whole-transcriptome data for the preliminary exploration of molecular regulatory networks influencing beef quality
Guyuan cattle are a unique indigenous genetic resource in Northwest China, characterized by favorable roughage utilization efficiency and meat production potential. However, the molecular mechanisms governing their meat quality traits remain poorly elucidated. In this exploratory study, we…

A key SNP in the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway gene CsaV3_6G009030 is highly correlated with cucumber fruit bitterness
Cucumber fruit bitterness is a prominent issue affecting fruit quality and seriously compromises the commercial value of cucumbers. In this study, near-isogenic lines (NILs) were developed through six consecutive backcross generations using the bitter cucumber inbred line ‘5’ (P2) as the recurrent…

ZBTB18-mediated STAT1 transcriptional repression contributes to bovine myogenesis, implying an association with oxidative myofiber formation and beef eating quality
Skeletal muscle development, orchestrated by muscle stem cells (MuSCs), is a critical determinant of meat yield and quality in cattle. Transcription factors (TFs) are pivotal regulators of MuSCs fate, yet their specific roles in meat quality remain largely unexplored. In this study, we integrated…

Identification of age-related biomarkers for meat quality in Kangle chickens using multi-omics
As a complex biological trait, meat quality is regulated by multiple factors. This study aimed to systematically characterize the meat quality of Kangle chickens at three ages (D154, D182 and D365) using transcriptomics, metabolomics, and lipidomics. Breast meat from D365 chickens exhibited…

Proteomic responses to the effect of coprophagy prevention on meat quality in New Zealand white rabbits
Coprophagy is an innate behavior of rabbits, and rabbit meat is favored by consumers for its distinctive nutritional characteristics. However, the relationship between coprophagy and meat quality in rabbits remains unclear. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of coprophagy prevention on…

Integration of phytohormones, miRNAs and transcriptome sequencing in cucumber fruit development under high-temperature stress
The molecular mechanisms by which heat stress compromises cucumber yield and quality, particularly the epigenetic regulatory networks, remain largely unknown. Here, we show that miRNAs act as key epigenetic mediators that integrating environmental and hormonal signals to coordinate stress…

In silico rational investigation of C-terminal arginine-containing white Lupin (Lupinus albus) protein-derived peptides as arginase inhibitors
Arginase is a binuclear manganese metalloenzyme that modulates L-arginine availability and downstream metabolic pathways. It was hypothesized that C-terminal arginine-containing peptides generated through simulated gastrointestinal digestion of white lupin (Lupinus albus) proteins would exhibit…

Commentary: Molecular mechanisms of true and apparent antioxidant synergism in foods
Antioxidant synergism in foods is widely reported, but its mechanistic interpretation remains inconsistent across experimental systems and assay conditions. This commentary clarifies the distinction between true synergism, driven by reversible regeneration and transient multicomponent associations…

Advanced biosensing strategies for high-risk foodborne pathogens: a comprehensive review of Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes
The goal of this review is to comprehensively analyse advances in biosensors specifically for Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella spp., two of the leading causes of foodborne illness and mortality worldwide. Unlike previous reviews that broadly survey bioreceptors or transducer classes across…

Integrated LC-MS-based lipidomics and transcriptomics reveal lipid heterogeneity and flavour variation in different cuts of muscles from Sadumont lamb
Substantial improvements in lamb production have been achieved through genetic selection and advanced husbandry practices; however, whether flavour heterogeneity among different muscle anatomical regions is driven by region-specific metabolic and lipid regulatory patterns remains unclear. We…

Heat stress induces ferroptosis in intramuscular preadipocytes of Hu sheep via activation of the TNF-α/NF-κB/GPX4 signaling axis
Heat stress (HS) induced by high ambient temperatures markedly disrupts metabolic homeostasis and meat quality development in ruminants, with reduced intramuscular fat (IMF) deposition is considered a major contributor to meat quality deterioration. However, the roles and underlying mechanisms by…
