The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different coatings on fresh-cut apples and develop a predictive model for their shelf life. The apples were treated with antioxidant peptide from <i>Candida utilis</i> (CUH), carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), and composite coatings, and their physicochemical properties were subsequently evaluated. Key factors identified through correlation analysis of shelf life were used as input parameters for a partial least squares regression (PLSR) model to predict the shelf life of fresh-cut apples treated with different coatings. The results indicate that CUH, CMCS, and CUH-CMCS coatings effectively delay the deterioration of fresh-cut apples. Notably, the CUH-CMCS composite coating demonstrated superior performance, showing only a slight 3.50% increase in the browning index (BI) during storage. Minimal changes were observed in weight loss and firmness, while overall total acidity (TA) and pH exhibited slight decreases. Moreover, the levels of ascorbic acid (Vc), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), and peroxidase (POD) were significantly lower compared to the control group, and the total bacterial count increased by no more than 0.7 log CFU g⁻¹.

Non-local mean filtering algorithm is proposed to segment various tissues, and the 2D grey scale images are extracted from X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT) to reconstruct a meticulous 3D visualisation model of individual wheat grains. Furthermore, building upon this foundation, an exhaustive assessment of morphological and structural parameters pertaining to each facet of the internal organisation of the wheat seed grain is conducted. Notably, these calculated parameters align with data generated by prior researchers，with 80% of the volume of the endosperm, 12% of the pericarp, about 2% of the endosperm and scutellum, and 4% of the pores. The established parameters and resultant 3D visual models serve as foundational components for subsequent in-depth examinations into various physicochemical properties, including quality characteristics, heat, and mass transfer attributes, as well as variations in its morphological structure during breeding, which are pertinent to individual grains.

The majority of bacteriocins are derived from Gram-positive bacteria, with lactic acid bacteria being the most common source. Because they are considered ‘natural’, there is currently significant development of bacteriocins for application as food preservative agents. As a preservative agent, bacteriocin activity is highly dependent on purity, down to the amino acid profile and sequence. Therefore, bacteriocin identification is important. Currently, MS is a cutting-edge tool in bacteriocin identification. This method has high selectivity, sensitivity and resolution. To the best of our knowledge, systematic reviews focusing on the application of MS for bacteriocin identification are currently limited. In light of this, the objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive review and summary of MS technologies in bacteriocin research, with a particular focus on the discovery and characterisation of novel sources of bacteriocin. Additionally, studies related to the discovery of bacteriocins from various sources, their role as antimicrobial agents, and their synthesis are emphasised.

Medicinal herbs such as <i>Costus pictus</i> (<i>C. pictus</i>), commonly known as the Insulin plant, offer a promising approach to managing these conditions. It is a perennial plant from the Costaceae family rich in proteins, fibres, minerals (K, Ca, Cr, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn), and bioactive compounds. This review highlighted the plant's potential in mitigating chronic diseases and metabolic disorders due to its diverse bioactivities, including hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antidiabetic, and antioxidant properties. These benefits are primarily attributed to its phytochemicals, mainly flavonoids and phenolic compounds. The antidiabetic mechanism involves suppressing metabolic enzymes essential for carbohydrate metabolism, while its antioxidant activity helps reduce excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels implicated in various diseases. Furthermore, <i>C. pictus</i> can be incorporated into functional foods such as bakery and confectionery products, functional drinks, and edible coatings. We discussed the dietary factors, bioactivities, and underlying mechanisms associated with <i>Costus pictus D</i>., emphasising its applicability in functional food formulations.

In this study, conjugation was performed for three different <i>Chlorella</i> to inulin molar ratios (S1:1, S3:1 and S5:1).
