Article Abstract
A GC/FID methodology for determination of twenty-one free amino acids in quince fruit (pulp and peel) and jam is described. The sample preparation was simple, involving a SCX Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE) purification step and a fast derivatization with ethyl chloroformate for gas chromatographic analysis. The chromatographic separation was achieved using a CP-Sil 19 CB wcot fused-silica capillary column. Under the chosen conditions, with temperature and pressure programming, this capillary column was able to separate all the amino acids not only in a short time but also with good separation. The GC/FID procedure is rapid, sensitive, reproducible and accurate. The detection limit values for amino acids were low, between 0.004 and 0.115 microg/mL, and the method was precise. As a general rule, the recovery values were high. Due to its rapidity and low cost, this technique can be useful in the quality control of quince products.

Background: Secondary fermentation can reduce variability in cocoa bean quality caused by the spontaneous, uncontrolled nature of primary fermentation. However, its optimization remains unexplored. This study evaluated the improvement of secondary fermentation through the combined use of Citrus limon peel and inoculation with Candida tropicalis H1Y4-1 as a starter.

Chlorinated hydrocarbons are widely used as solvents and synthetic intermediates, but their chemical persistence can cause hazardous environmental accumulation. Haloalkane dehalogenase from (DhlA) is a bacterial enzyme that naturally converts toxic chloroalkanes into less harmful alcohols. Using a multiscale approach based on the empirical valence bond method, we investigate the catalytic mechanism of 1,2-dichloroethane dehalogenation within DhlA and its mutants.

Background: Metabolic reprogramming is an important hallmark of cervical cancer (CC), and extensive studies have provided important information for translational and clinical oncology. Here we sought to determine metabolic association with molecular aberrations, telomere maintenance and outcomes in CC.
Methods: RNA sequencing data from TCGA cohort of CC was analyzed for their metabolic gene expression profile and consensus clustering was then performed to classify tumors into different groups/subtypes.

Phytophthora root rot caused by the hemibiotrophic oomycete, is a major biotic hindrance in meeting the ever-increasing demand for avocados. In addition, the pathogen is a global menace to agriculture, horticulture and forestry. Phosphite trunk injections and foliar sprays remain the most effective chemical management strategy used in commercial avocado orchards against the pathogen.

Introduction: Aging is accompanied by systemic metabolic changes that contribute to disease susceptibility and functional decline. Sex differences in aging have been reported in humans, yet their mechanistic basis remains poorly understood. Due to their physiological similarity to humans, rhesus macaques are a powerful translational model to investigate sex-specific metabolomic aging under controlled conditions.
