The growing global demand and price fluctuations in meat have raised concerns over safety, adulteration, and traceability. Conventional methods are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and reagent-dependent, limiting their use for rapid or on-site screening. This review provides a comprehensive overview of emerging non-invasive techniques-such as fluorescence, near-infrared, mid-infrared, and Raman spectroscopy-for assessing meat quality and detecting adulteration.

This research examines a detailed metabolomic and comparative analysis of bioactive substances of soybean varieties: "Primorskaya-4", "Primorskaya-86", "Primorskaya-96", "Locus", "Sphere", "Breeze", "Namul", and "Musson" by the laser confocal microscope CLSM 800 and the mass spectrometry of bioactive compounds by tandem mass spectrometry. The laser microscopy allowed us to clarify in detail the spatial arrangement of phenolic acids, flavonols, and anthocyanin contents in soybeans. Research has convincingly shown that the polyphenolic content of soybeans, and, in particular, the anthocyanins, are spatially localized mainly in the seed coat of soybeans.

Although cornelian cherry is an underutilized fruit species, its fruits have a high biological value due to valuable biologically active substances, especially polyphenols. The total content of polyphenols accounts for 37% of all the bioactive substances examined. Flavonols, anthocyanins, flavan-3-ols, and phenolic acids represent the main groups of phenolic compounds present and thanks to these compounds, cornelian cherry fruits possess mainly antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, metabolic, antidiabetic, cardioprotective, and anticancer effects.

Article Synopsis
  • Purple blotch disease in Allium cepa is caused by the fungus Alternaria porri, thriving best in temperatures between 22 °C and 25 °C with high humidity.
  • Laboratory experiments showed that the germination of Alternaria porri conidia peaked at 25 °C and 0 MPa water potential, while it decreased significantly at lower temperatures and water stress conditions.
  • The Hydrotime, Thermal Time, and Hydrothermal Time models effectively measured the effects of temperature and water potential on conidia germination, indicating that the cardinal hydrothermal time constant (θHTT) can accurately describe its germination behavior under varying environmental conditions.
