We hypothesized that the two rounds select distinct lactic acid bacteria (LAB) consortia with different metabolic potentials that associate with stage-specific metabolites and flavor compounds. We profiled 24 fermented-grain samples using shotgun metagenomics and untargeted metabolomics. Ercha showed lower alpha-diversity and a composition distinct from Dacha. <em>Lactobacillus acetotolerans</em> dominated Dacha, whereas <em>Acetilactobacillus jinshanensis</em> dominated Ercha. We detected 225 differential metabolites; 12 involved in flavonoid biosynthesis were higher in Dacha, while pyrimidine metabolism was more prominent in Ercha. Several LAB species—including L. <em>acetotolerans</em>, <em>Lentilactobacillus hilgardii</em>, <em>Lactobacillus amylovorus</em>, and <em>Lactobacillus amylolyticus</em>—showed positive correlations with these flavonoids. Genes encoding L-lactate dehydrogenase and acetate kinase were mainly carried by L. <em>acetotolerans</em> and associated with acetic acid and ethyl acetate in fermented grains. These outcomes supported our hypothesis and suggested actionable levers for production: stage-targeted monitoring of marker taxa/genes and rational starter design to steer flavor formation in Fen-flavor Baijiu.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34477,"journal":{"name":"Food Chemistry Molecular Sciences","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100298"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145059963","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}

However, existing application methods face several limitations, such as unstable release, difficulty in dosage control, and safety concerns, and its regulatory mechanisms in fruit systems remain unclear. In this study, calcium sulfide (CaS) was used as a slow-release H₂S donor that gradually releases H₂S through reactions with airborne moisture and carbon dioxide to treat bananas. CaS treatment significantly downregulated key ethylene biosynthetic genes and corresponding enzymes (ACO and ACS), thereby reducing ethylene production. The expression of starch-degrading and cell wall-modifying genes was also suppressed, delaying starch breakdown and cell wall disassembly. Enzyme assays and transcriptomic analyses confirmed that CaS delays banana ripening through coordinated regulation at both transcriptional and biochemical levels. As a result, CaS treatment effectively extended shelf life and maintained fruit quality of bananas. These findings reveal the potential of CaS as a novel H₂S-releasing agent for postharvest preservation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34477,"journal":{"name":"Food Chemistry Molecular Sciences","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100297"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145059964","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}

This study hypothesized that particular curcumin derivatives could mitigate oxidative stress and inflammation response by targeting specific inflammatory mediators. Therefore, this study aimed to quantify the concentrations of these curcuminoid forms in local turmeric extracts from Thailand. Subsequently, the study analyzed their <em>in vitro</em> antioxidant properties, alongside molecular docking and dynamics simulations targeting key oxidative stress- and inflammation-related proteins. Samples were collected from three representative cultivated areas in Thailand: the eastern, southern, and northern regions. The ethanolic extracts from all samples exhibited relatively high total curcuminoid content (eastern: 15.1 %, southern: 25.9 %, and northern: 31.6 % <em>w</em>/w in extract), as determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. Curcumin I emerged as the predominant variant, followed closely by curcumin II and III. The ethanolic extracts from the three cultural areas demonstrated significant antioxidant activity, as assessed by ORAC, FRAP, and DPPH assays. Among the three curcuminoids, curcumin III exhibited the strongest predicted binding affinities in molecular docking studies toward antioxidant and anti-inflammatory targets, including 5-LOX, NRF2, IKK1, NF-κB, and NOX4. Molecular dynamics simulations corroborated these findings, revealing that curcumin III formed the most stable complexes, particularly with IKK1, as indicated by low RMSD values (2–3 Å), and high hydrogen bond occupancy. Thus, curcumin III exhibits potential <em>in silico</em> inhibition of inflammatory mediators, supporting its promise as a natural compound for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutraceutical development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34477,"journal":{"name":"Food Chemistry Molecular Sciences","volume":"11 ","pages":"Article 100291"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144911849","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}

To examine the association between genetic clustering and oleic acid content, eighty Greek olive cultivars cultivated under controlled nursery conditions were genotyped using eleven genomic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, and their fatty acid composition was determined by ¹H NMR.
