The strawberry is renowned for its distinctive fragrance and is regarded as one of the most popular fruits globally. This research analyzed the volatile compounds in four strawberry types grown in substrate systems, utilizing HS-GC-IMS, HS-SPME-GC-MS, and E-nose techniques. The results revealed a notable increase in the relative concentrations of alcohols, esters, and aldehydes in the strawberries.

Results revealed that substrate cultivation system significantly enhanced the formation of total acids, vitamin C, total phenols, and volatile esters, alcohols, and acids in strawberries. Additionally, it improved the hardness, acidity, aroma intensity, and color of the fruit.

Article Synopsis
- - This study focuses on the economic importance of different strawberry cultivars and their varying taste, aroma, and nutritional profiles, emphasizing the need for proper characterization and quality assessment.
- - Three strawberry varieties (HY, ZJ, BXGZ) were evaluated for flavor characteristics through multiple analytical methods, revealing that ZJ strawberries were the sweetest, HY strawberries were the hardest, and BXGZ had the highest vitamin C and phenolic content.
- - The research identified numerous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) linked to each variety's flavor and suggested specific biomarkers for differentiation, providing a new rapid analysis method for studying strawberry aromas.
Article Synopsis
- This study examined the flavor changes in black tea during fermentation with the fungus Eurotium cristatum using techniques like GC-MS, GC-IMS, and sensory evaluation.
- The fermentation process led to a significant reduction in the bitter and astringent flavors while increasing the mellow taste, with 152 and 129 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) detected by GC-MS and GC-IMS, respectively.
- Key aroma-active compounds associated with floral, honey, and sweet scents were identified, notably with day 4 of fermentation marking a critical point for flavor and aroma development, resulting in a more enjoyable and rich flavor profile in the final black tea product.
), native to the southwest provinces of China, is a fruit crop of important economic value in Guizhou Province. However, the changes in fruit quality and flavor during fruit ripening have remained unknown. Here, this study investigated the changes of seven active components and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the ripening of the fruit at five different ripening stages including 45, 65, 75, 90, and 105 days after anthesis.

Purpose: To effectively understand the key areas and future directions of research regarding the fingerprint and adulteration of CHMs.
Article Synopsis
- Tratt. is a deciduous shrub from the Rosaceae family used for food, medicine, and ornamental purposes, and researchers are exploring its endophytic fungi for potential applications.
- During a biodiversity survey in China, two new fungi strains were isolated, showing distinct genetic lineages that differ from known species, and are proposed as novel taxa.
- One new species is notable for its small asci and unique surface ridges, while the other has varying conidiophores, highlighting their differences within the Talaromyces section.

In this paper, a total of 22 bacterial isolates capable of fixing nitrogen and/or solubilizing phosphorus were inoculated, and mixed incubated in 15 liquid media. The isolates were obtained from soil with selective media, and not purified. After grown for 48 hours, the mixed cultures were continuously inoculated to the same media, and then incubated under the same conditions.
