The contents of Na, Mg, K, Ca, P, B, Al, Ti, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Sr, Mo, Ba, Tl, Ge, Zr, Li, Rb, Cs, La, Ce and Nd in the samples of red jujube were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer and analyzed by variance analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), clustering analysis (CA) and discriminant analysis (DA). The results demonstrated that the content of mineral elements in red jujube from different regions has its own characteristics. The average contents of Na and Ge in red jujube were the highest from Xinjiang province, while the average contents of Co, Cu, Zn, Se, Ba and Cs were the lowest. The average contents of Ca, Ba and Ti in red jujube in Hebei province were the highest, the average contents of K, Mn and Rb in red jujube in Shanxi province were the highest, and the average contents of Mg, P, Al, B, Ti, Fe and Cu in Gansu province were the highest. The content of Na in Xinjiang province was three times more than that of Gansu province, and the content of Rb in Hebei province was four times more than that of Xinjiang province. PCA explained 82.1% of total variation, indicating that it played a vital role in the classification of mineral elements of red jujube. Red jujube was divided into five groups at a cluster distance of 9.0, indicating that clustering analysis has achieved ideal results in the origin traceability of red jujube. By discriminant analysis, the correct discriminant rate of 100% was established for samples from Xinjiang, Hebei, Shanxi and Gansu provinces. Facts have proved that it is feasible to judge the traceability of the origin of red jujube by using multi-element analysis.","PeriodicalId":20738,"journal":{"name":"Quality Assurance and Safety of Crops & Foods","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80940508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: The level of miR-211 in H/R-induced cells was detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. CCK-8, flow cytometry (FCM), and Western blot assays were performed to examine the effect of miR-211 and USP47 on the role of remifentanil against H/R injury. Bioinformatic analysis and luciferase and Western blot assays were performed to identify and verify the potential target of miR-211. CCK-8 and FCM assays were performed to detect the mechanism of ligustrazine and miR-211 in the protection of remifentanil against H/R-induced cells. Results: Ligustrazine enhanced the effect of remifentanil on H/R-induced cardiomyocytes. MiR-211 enhanced the protective effect of remifentanil against H/R injury. Down-regulation of USP47 enhanced the protective effect of remifentanil against H/R injury. Ligustrazine enhanced the protective effect of remifentanil against H/R injury through miR-211/USP47 pathway.

Two chlorophylls and four carotenoids were identified in Chinese kale. The concentrations of chlorophyll and carotenoids varied widely in different organs and varieties. JL-03 was a good candidate for the future breeding programs, since it contained the highest concentrations of chlorophyll and carotenoids (except violaxanthin) in leaves. Lutein was the main component of carotenoids and accounted for approximately 50% of total carotenoids. The concentrations of chlorophyll and carotenoids in leaves significantly exceeded those in bolting stems. Principal component analysis showed that organ was the main source of differences of chlorophyll and carotenoid concentrations in different varieties of Chinese kale, while the maturity and flower color have little effect. Correlation analysis identified a significantly positive correlation between chlorophyll and carotenoids in Chinese kale. These results provided evidence for improving human dietary nutrition and breeding of Chinese kale.","PeriodicalId":20738,"journal":{"name":"Quality Assurance and Safety of Crops & Foods","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76310898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The LC-MS/MS confirmed the presence of AFB1 and AFB2 with AFB1 of 97.5 μg/kg in Makueni and 76.2 μg/kg in Kilifi. Maize from Kilifi and Makueni was contaminated and unfit for human and animal consumption. Also, low rainfall, high temperature and high relative humidity directly increased the levels of aflatoxins, resulting in contamination. Therefore, the detection kits are recommended for use by maize farmers. Confirmatory tests should be done with maize having levels of aflatoxin above 10 μg/kg. Adequate drying and handling of maize and proper storage with good aeration should be ensured.","PeriodicalId":20738,"journal":{"name":"Quality Assurance and Safety of Crops & Foods","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81296275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Value addition of agricultural products is the key to a higher production rate, fewer food losses, and hence more farm income and a better economy. In Oman, agriculture is represented as the first source of life and date is considered one of the most important permanent cultivated crops. This study aimed to evaluate the value addition process of the date palm products and reveal the challenges associated with the productivity improvement in Oman. Six prominent date value-addition factories were visited for data collection. The most date value-added products found were date with nuts, date syrup, and paste, and industries are using most popular date varieties Khalas and Fardh for the value addition processes. Raw dates are supplied by three farm catego-ries and four process mechanization levels were found in these factories. The financial productivity improvement due to the value addition were evaluated. Date with nuts found to be with the highest productivity ratio that reaching up to 540% in Khalas and 360% in Fardh. Highly productive factories had high mechanization levels (ML3–4). A broader improvement in value addition industry is essential to improve the productivities. This includes increase in number of small and medium enterprises, improve mechanization levels, technology transfer, and capacity building needs and additionally to improve the quality of value-added products which will positively affect the farm income and country’s economy.","PeriodicalId":20738,"journal":{"name":"Quality Assurance and Safety of Crops & Foods","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82964976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PBW 550) was experimented at different drying periods, such as 24 h, 36 h and 48 h. The samples were dried in a tray dryer at 50–80οC at an interval of 10°C. The moisture ratio was fitted to the six thin-layer drying models, and the performance of the models was assessed by statistical parameters. The Wang and Singh model has accurately predicted the drying behavior of sprouted wheat for all sprouting periods and drying temperatures. In addition, the effective moisture diffusivity of grain sprouts at three drying periods (24 h, 36 h and 48 h) of sprouted wheat was increased from 1.79 × 10-9 to 2.58 × 10-9 m2 s-1, 1.921 × 10-9 to 2.781 × 10-9 m2 s-1 and 1.858 × 10-9 to 2.561 × 10-9 m2 s-1 with increase in drying temperature from 50oC to 80oC. Moreover, at the above-stated drying periods, the activation energy for sprouted wheat was 11.357 kJ mol-1, 11.428 kJ mol-1 and 9.427 kJ mol-1, respectively. Therefore, thin-layer drying of sprouted wheat was successfully simulated between 50°C and 80°C for various drying periods. This study provided imperative information to understand the drying behavior and relationship between various drying parameters of sprouted grains that could produce nutritive functional flour.","PeriodicalId":20738,"journal":{"name":"Quality Assurance and Safety of Crops & Foods","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90146378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
