However, honey adulteration poses a significant challenge, whether by adding sweeteners or mixing high-value single-flower honey with lower-quality multi-flower varieties. Traditional detection methods, such as melissopalynological analysis and chromatography, are often time-consuming and costly. This study proposes an artificial intelligence-based approach using the BME688 gas sensor to detect honey adulteration rapidly and accurately. The sensor captures the gas composition of honey mixtures, creating a unique digital fingerprint that can be analysed using machine learning techniques. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can detect adulteration with high precision, distinguishing honey mixtures with up to 5% resolution. The findings suggest that this approach can provide a reliable, efficient, and scalable solution for honey quality control, reducing dependence on expert analysis and expensive laboratory procedures.","PeriodicalId":19367,"journal":{"name":"NPJ Science of Food","volume":"9 1","pages":"74"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12078584/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144079218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mealworm (Tenebrio molitor larvae) is an edible insect gaining popularity as an alternative protein-rich diet. Mealworms are expected to help alleviate muscle atrophy based on their rich, high-quality protein and peptide content, but it remains unclear whether mealworms ameliorate muscle loss. This study aimed to investigate the potential of mealworm hydrolysate (MH) in mitigating dexamethasone (DEX)-induced muscle atrophy and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. MH ameliorates muscle atrophy by activating sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) and Akt, reducing muscle-specific RING finger protein-1 and atrogin-1 expression, and inhibiting apoptosis in DEX-treated C2C12 cells. Additionally, MH significantly increased the muscle mass, grip strength, and muscle fiber cross-sectional area by activating SIRT1 and Akt in DEX-treated rats. These findings suggest that MH has the potential in alleviating dexamethasone-induced muscle atrophy.","PeriodicalId":19367,"journal":{"name":"NPJ Science of Food","volume":"9 1","pages":"72"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12075696/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144038431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite tea being one of the most consumed beverages worldwide, research on the energy efficiency of its brewing process-particularly at the household level-remains limited. This study addresses this gap by investigating the energy cost, efficiency, and environmental footprint of Turkish-style tea brewing, a method characterized by its unique double teapot system and prolonged steeping process. Experimental tests were conducted on a standard kitchen stove using three burner sizes and varying flame modes. Energy efficiency, analyzed using the First Law of Thermodynamics, ranged from 31% to 70%, with specific energy consumption between 0.53 and 0.93 kJ/kg. Results reveal a trade-off between energy efficiency and brewing time, highlighting the need for optimized techniques to reduce energy waste. Given the massive global tea consumption, this study provides valuable insights for future research on sustainable and energy-efficient food preparation practices.","PeriodicalId":19367,"journal":{"name":"NPJ Science of Food","volume":"9 1","pages":"71"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12064673/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144013294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Population-based cross-sectional and animal diet intervention studies were conducted to analyze the association between VA nutritional status and cognitive function and the underlying mechanisms. In the population-based study, information from 1817 adults aged 50 years and above was used for data analysis, and we found that subjects with plasma VA level greater than 0.539 μg/ml displayed a lower risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). In the animal experiment, VA metabolism was disrupted in Alzheimer's disease (AD) model mice, indicated by increased hepatic VA level and reduced retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) level. AD model mice fed with low-VA diet showed worse nesting behavior, and cerebral pathologies, including increased Aβ generation, exacerbated neuroinflammation, and impaired brain glucose uptake and insulin signaling pathway. In conclusion, higher plasma VA level (≥ 0.539 μg/ml) might decrease the risk of MCI in the middle-aged and elderly individuals. Low VA nutritional status might disrupt brain glucose metabolism through regulating the insulin signaling pathway, promoting the senile plaque deposit and aggregating cerebral neuroinflammation, finally exacerbating the pathology of AD.","PeriodicalId":19367,"journal":{"name":"NPJ Science of Food","volume":"9 1","pages":"67"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12062344/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143991810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, its MAP value is 88.91%, which is 10.77, 8.6, and 5.14% higher than the AlexNet, CNN, and YOLO-v7 models, which shows stronger generalization capabilities under small sample conditions. It demonstrates strong generalization, reduced missed detection, and improved target recognition in complex backgrounds.

The calibration curves for HMF determination exhibited outstanding linearity. The detection limit reached 0.347 mg/kg with good accuracy and precision. Variations in the content of HMF in honey during heating were also assessed, revealing the increased formation of HMF under high temperature and prolonged heating. The method's proficiency was evidenced through the detection of various aldehydes. This method represents an advance in rapid analysis for food safety, aligning with green chemistry principles.","PeriodicalId":19367,"journal":{"name":"NPJ Science of Food","volume":"9 1","pages":"66"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12059134/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144023947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
