While the peels usually regarded as by-product, leading to source waste. As a traditional method, drying is helpful to increase added-value of peels which can be used as medicine. However, the variations in variety and quantity of flavonoids during drying processes of citrus peel remain unknown. In this study, Guanxi honey pomelo peel investigated the effect of different drying methods on flavonoids content in citrus peels. Five drying techniques, namely, freeze-drying (FD) and hot air drying (HAD) at 30 °C, 50 °C, 70 °C and 90 °C were used employed for drying the pomelo peels and HPLC-Q-TOF-MS analysis identified 39 flavonoids changes in flavonoids across samples. FD proved to better preserve most glycosidic flavonoids. Flavonoid aglycones could be better preserved in samples of HAD at 30 ℃, 50 ℃ HAD and 90 ℃ HAD. Specifically, HAD at 30 ℃ and 50 ℃ HAD is beneficial for obtaining more valued polymethoxyflavones such as 5-hydroxy-6,7,4′-trimethoxyflavone, 5,7,8,4′-tetramethoxyflavone and 3,5,6,7,8,3′,4′-heptamethoxyflavone. The 90℃ HAD resulted in the highest content of naringenin and 5,7,8,4′-tetramethoxyflavanone.

The developed nanoparticles were then incorporated into a dairy beverage for the production of fortified milks identified with the same names. The long-term stability, texture properties and in vitro release profile were evaluated. The results show that the fortified milks, HS-MAE-NLC and HS-PLE-NLC, were stable under stress conditions attributed to the enhanced stability provided by the protein content present in the milk. The in vitro release profile of quercetin and anthocyanins from NLC-enriched dairy beverage was more prolonged than the milk containing the non-loaded extract, fitting better to the Korsmeyers–Peppas model.

In grape cultivars displayed an intriguing journey in terms of resveratrol, ranging from 5.96 mg/kg in Period I to 11.59 mg/kg in Period VI. These vital compounds known for contributing to grape color and potential health benefits showed substantial variation across the grape cultivars and harvest periods. In addition, significant variations in phytochemical compositions were observed between 'Italia' and 'Bronx Seedless' grape cultivars, with 'Italia' generally exhibiting higher concentrations of key compounds such as resveratrol, pterostilbene, anthocyanidins, and flavonoids. The longitudinal analysis across six berry developmental periods highlighted a progressive increase in the concentrations of these phytochemicals in cultivar, indicating a dynamic evolution of grape biochemistry over time. Particularly, delphinidin-3-O-glycoside, cyanidin-3-O-glycoside, and petunidin-3-O-glycoside showed marked increases, indicating significant growth in anthocyanin content from Period I to Period VI.

First of all, we characterized the viscoelasticity, microstructure and protein changes of candy abalone during the simmering process. The texture results indicated that the springiness and adhesiveness of candy abalone showed an increase. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy suggested that myofibrillar protein in candy abalone formed a dense three-dimensional network hydrogel structure. Sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed such a hydrogel structure might be derived from the degradation of the myofibrillar protein during the drying process. Also, we identified degraded peptides mainly stemmed from paramyosin by mass spectrometry.

Different from reported protein hydrogels, the rheological and morphological properties of the formed peptide hydrogels in candy abalone have significant changes.

Fol1: 1 day before first foliar application; Fol2: 1 day before second foliar application; Preharvest: 15 days after second foliar application; Harvest: the day of harvest; and Postharvest: 15 days after harvest.

Overall, in the 2019, amino acids reached their highest content at Preharvest or Harvest samples, whereas in the 2020 season, these highest concentrations were reached at Postharvest. Asparagine might serve as a suitable amino acid for controlling grape ripening, as its content decreased from Fol1 to Postharvest in the two vintages. Moreover, differences on the total amino acids content at Harvest date between vintages were observed, probably due to different climatological conditions.
