In order to prolong the shelf life of fresh leaves of Perilla frutescens and ensure the storage quality of leaves during storage and retail, a newly developed coating fresh-keeping paper bag was used to package the leaves of Perilla frutescens in this study. The composite coating solution used in the experiment was prepared by dissolving chitosan, sodium D-isoascorbate, tea polyphenols and calcium chloride in acetic acid aqueous solution in a certain ratio. The effects of different component concentrations in the composite coating solution of fresh-keeping paper bags on the sensory quality, VC content and weight loss rate of Perilla frutescens were investigated by single factor and orthogonal experiments, and the optimal component concentration ratio of the composite coating solution was determined as follows: Chitosan concentration 2.0%, sodium D-isoascorbate concentration 2.4%, tea polyphenols concentration 0.25%, and calcium chloride concentration 0.6%. The physical, chemical and antibacterial properties analysis showed that when the coating amount was 30 g/m2, the composite coating solution had formed uniform coating on the surface of the paper. At this time, the coated paper had strong antibacterial ability, and the coating penetrated into the fiber gap of paper, so that the weight, thickness, elongation and moisture content of paper were improved, the water vapor permeability decreased, and the tensile strength and wettability decreased slightly, which met the packaging requirements of Perilla frutescens leaves and would have broad prospects for development in the field of fruit and vegetable packaging.

In this paper, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) controlled release packaging paper was prepared by mixing 1-methylcyclopropene with different proportions of ethyl cellulose ether (EC) and polyacrylic acid (PAA) and then coating it on the paper base. The release mechanism was studied. Saimaiti apricot fruits stored at 2 ℃ were treated with 1-MCP controlled release packaging paper. The effects of 1-MCP controllable slow-release packaging paper on respiratory intensity, hardness, titratable acid, soluble solids, peel color and commodity rate of apricot fruit during storage were studied in order to obtain a kind of fresh-keeping paper which could effectively prolong the storage period of apricot fruit.

Strong-aroma natural spices are characterized by their strong aroma, possessing aromatic and irritating properties, with the main components being aromatic compounds. Typical representatives include star anise, cinnamon, fennel, and cloves. The aforementioned strong-aroma natural spices are widely used both domestically and internationally, especially in soy sauce stewed meat products and fermented meat products. Nonetheless, current research on the aroma-imparting and flavor-presenting mechanisms of natural spices remains insufficiently in-depth and systematic. This paper bases on a review of relevant domestic and international research in recent years, systematically summarizes the flavor analysis methods, flavor characteristics, and key flavor components of typical strong-aroma natural spices. It concurrently discusses their impact on the flavor formation of meat products: spice flavor components can influence the flavor of soy sauce stewed meat products by directly migrating into the food or by improving the flavor of fermented meat products through inhibiting fat oxidation and anti-bacterial effects. Building on this, the paper further elucidates the aroma-imparting and flavor-presenting mechanisms of strong-aroma natural spices, encompassing direct migration of flavor components into food for aroma enhancement, aroma-generating reactions between spice components and food matrices, inhibition of flavor precursor oxidation processes, and suppression of spoilage bacteria growth to ameliorate undesirable flavor formation. The summary of the flavor characteristics and aroma-imparting mechanisms of strong-aroma natural spices facilitates researchers in delving into the mechanisms by which these spices regulates food flavor formation and provides a reference for food enterprises, particularly meat product manufacturers, in further rational development and utilization of natural spices.

The arabinose was the predominant monosaccharide for AVP-HWE and AVP-CE, and glucose for the others. Different polysaccharides exhibited typical infrared absorption peaks of polysaccharide compounds without a triple helix structure, and showed different surface structures. The polysaccharides demonstrated strong antioxidant activity, among which AVP-HWE had the strongest DPPH and ABTS+ free radicals scavenging ability, with half inhibition concentrations (IC50) of 0.219 and 0.072 mg/mL, respectively. AVP-UE had the strongest hydroxyl radical scavenging ability, with IC50 of 0.298 mg/mL. AVP-CE had the strongest ferrous ion chelating ability, with IC50 of 0.107 mg/mL, and there were few differences for the total reducing power between different polysaccharides. In summary, different extraction methods have a significant impact on the structure and activity of AVP, and UE and CE are more suitable for the extraction of AVP. This paper may be providing reference for the development and utilization of polysaccharides resources from Apocynum venetum leaves.

No matter with or without tinfoil paper wrapping, both fatty acid contents and amino acid contents in the meat were increased after roasting. The sample roasted without tinfoil paper wrapping had higher values in polyunsaturated fatty acids content to saturated fatty acids content (PUFA/SFA) and essential amino acid content to total amino acid content (EAA/TAA). Head-space solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-MS) analysis identified in total 44 volatile compounds in the two samples while those like aldehydes, alcohols, ketones, etc. had greater amounts in the sample roasted without tinfoil paper wrapping. Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) suggested that hexadecanal, octanal, tetradecanal, (E,E)-2,4-decadienal, pentanal, hexanal, etc. (VIP>1) could be markers to differentiate volatile flavor composition of the two samples. Moreover, gas chromatography-olfactometry of aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA/GC-O) identified 22 odor-active compounds (i.e. odorants) in the two samples with aldehydes being the highest number followed by sulfur-containing compounds and pyrazines. Overall, the odor-active compounds found by GC-O were similar in the two samples whereas they had different flavor dilution factors. Then aroma profile of the two samples was compared by radar charts based on the compounds of higher dilution factors representing the roasted duck leg odors. It suggested harmonious and more prominent roasted and fatty aromas pertaining to the sample without tinfoil paper wrapping，which agreed with the sensory analysis results.

In order to explore the antibiotics development potential of the endophytic fungus Apiospora malaysiana from Thamnolia subuliformis, the antimicrobial spectrum of Apiospora malaysiana against common pathogen was determined after comparing the effects of six commonly used methods for determination of in vitro antimicrobial activity. The effects of storage time, temperature, ultraviolet irradiation time, and pH on the stability of antimicrobial activities of Apiospora malaysiana in vitro were further investigated by using the most sensitive Staphylococcus aureus as the indicator bacterium. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the antimicrobial activity of Apiospora malaysiana in vitro by three methods (plate punching method, filter paper method, and Oxford cup method) (P>0.05). However, the results of the three fungal inhabition methods showed that the mycelial growth rate method was optimal (inhibition rate of 100%), the effect of the plate confrontation method was much lower than the former (inhibition rate of only 24.0%), and the filter paper diffusion method had no inhibiting effect. The results of in vitro antimicrobial test showed that Apiospora malaysiana had strong inhibiting effects on a variety of Gram-positive bacteria and pathogenic fungi, among which Staphylococcus aureus was the most sensitive (the diameter of the inhibition zone was 18.3 mm, highly sensitive). In addition, Apiospora malaysiana also had strong antimicrobial activity against pathogenic fungi such as drug-resistant Candida albicans (highly sensitive), Botrytis cinerea, and Rhizoctonia solani (inhibition rate of 100%). The results of the antimicrobial stability test showed that different storage time, temperature, and ultraviolet irradiation time had no significant effects on the in vitro antimicrobial activity of Apiospora malaysiana (P>0.05), but pH had a great effect on its in vitro antimicrobial activity (P

In this paper, the highland barley moisture, β-glucan, amylopectin and protein content rapid detection model was established based on the 4000~10000 cm−1 near-infrared spectrum and actual contents of 76 highland barleys. The results showed that SG convolution smoothing was the optimal spectral preprocessing method for the partial least squares (PLS) prediction model of moisture, amylopectin and β-glucan contents, while SG convolution smoothing+multiplicative scatter correction (MSC) was the optimal spectral preprocessing method for the PLS prediction model of protein content. In order to further improve the accuracy of the prediction model, the different characteristic wavelength selection algorithms including competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS), successive projections algorithm (SPA) and variables combination population analysis and iterative retained information variable (VCPA-IRIV) were used on the prediction results of the model. The results showed that VCPA-IRIV treatment could effectively improve the determination coefficient of prediction of moisture, amylose and protein content prediction model, and reduce the root mean square error of prediction. The treatment of CARS had a remarkable effect on the prediction accuracy for the β-glucan content. Ultimately, the established prediction models of moisture, β-glucan, amylopectin and protein content for highland barley had good prediction accuracy with the appropriate Rp (0.9868, 0.9808, 0.9701 and 0.9879) and RMSEP (0.2042, 0.1846, 0.8135 and 0.2095) value, respectively. In conclusion, the rapid detection model of highland barley characteristic nutrient content based on near infrared spectroscopy established in this study had high accuracy, which would have certain guiding significance for processing enterprises to quickly understand the quality of raw materials and efficiently screen qualified raw materials.

In this paper, alkali protease was used to enzymatically hydrolyze wheat germ proteins grown in the Hetao region. A univariate analysis and an orthogonal experiment were conducted to optimize the enzymatically hydrolyze process conditions of wheat germ proteins, with the degree of hydrolysis taken as the indicator. Moreover, the in vitro hypolipidemic effect of wheat germ polypeptides was investigated. The results showed that the degree of hydrolysis of wheat germ proteins was 37.18%±0.25% achieved by the following conditions, substrate concentration of 6.0%, temperature at 50 ℃, pH of 10.5 and protease amount of 12000 U/g. When the concentration of wheat germ polypeptides was 5 mg/mL, the rate of inhibiting cholesterol solubilisation into micelles was 27.11%±0.36%, the pancreatic lipase activity inhibition rate was 33.54%±0.57%, and cholesterol esterase activity inhibition rate was 38.13%±0.29%. Moreover, after ultrafiltration, the relative molecule weight of polypeptides less than 1 kDa accounted for 54.30%±0.32% of all polypeptides, indicating that low-molecular-weight wheat germ polypeptides might yield superior hypolipidemic effects. The work provides a theoretical foundation for further exploring the mechanism between Hetao wheat germ polypeptides and hypolipidemic effect.

To screen the suitable thawing method of frozen beef and better maintain its eating quality and flavor after unfreezing, in this paper, the strip loin frozen at −20 ℃ was taken as the research object, and the naturally frozen one was taken as the control group (CK), the ones with distances of 20, 30, and 40 cm (LVEFT20, LVEFT30, LVEFT40) from the low-voltage electrostatic filed generating plate were taken as the treatment groups, and 2 ℃ was the final temperature of unfreezing. The test method of combining conventional quality with gas chroma-tography-mass spectrometry (GC-IMS) was adopted to compare and analyze the effects of different low-voltage electrostatic field unfreezing on beef quality and flavor. The results revealed that compared with CK, the low-voltage electrostatic field assistance unfreezing treatment could shorten the unfreezing time of beef samples, improve the loss rate of unfreezing juice and cooking loss, cut down on the nutrient loss of unfrozen beef, inhibit the growth of microorganisms, and allow beef to maintain a better color, shear force, and flavor. Among them, the treatment of LVEFT30 was the best. The unfreezing time was 7 hours shorter than that of CK. The unfreezing juice loss rate and protein mass fraction, and cooking loss rate of beef after unfreezing were reduced by 45.79%, 21.32%, and 27.48%, and the shear force was only 66.99 N. Total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), total bacterial count, color, volatile compounds types, and relative contents were similar to those of fresh beef. Therefore, the beef can maintain good quality when frozen beef was defrosted with a distance of 30 cm from the electrostatic plate. This result provides a scientific basis and technical support for unfreezing frozen beef in production.

To comprehensively explore the nutritional quality and construct evaluation system, this paper studied the effects of different planting ways and growing years on the 23 nutritional qualities of Tonggu Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua, and constructs of its evaluation system by correlation, factors, and clustering analysis. The results showed that the content of ethanol-soluble extractives, protein, essential amino acids (EAA), medicinal amino acids (MAA), ash and 5 constant mineral elements in Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua from greenhouse planting (GP) was the highest, and the nutritional score of EAA was also the optimal. Also, the content of polysaccharide and saponins in Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua from open planting (OP) was the most, and the four trace elements (Fe, Mn, Zn and Se) were the highest in underwood planting (UP). The Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua from wild (W) had the highest content of flavonoids and total phenols. In addition, as the extension of growing years, the content of ethanol-soluble extractives, lipid, and polysaccharides in Tonggu Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua increased gradually, while there was no significant difference in the saponins, flavonoids and total phenols (P>0.05). However, the content of starch, crude fiber, protein, ash, nutritional score of EAA and mineral elements in Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua was negatively correlated with the growing years. In particular, the decline of nutritional quality in GP was the most significant. Through the analysis of correlation, factor, and cluster, the 22 indicators of nutritional quality were simplified into 13 indicators, and then a comprehensive evaluation model was established by principal component analysis (PCA). It was found that the comprehensive score (−1.331~1.161) of nutritional quality of 8 types was GP-3>UP-3>W-4>GP-5>GP-4>OP-3>UP-4>OP-4, that is, the nutritional quality of GP-3 was optimal. And on this basis, a 6-level standard for the nutritional quality comprehensive evaluation of Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua was established. These results will provide a theoretical basis for the screening of raw materials for development of high-value products and variety improvement of Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua.
