In this paper volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from Tuber magnatum fruiting bodies were analyzed using a PTR-TOF-MS instrument. The aim was to characterize the VOC's profile of the fruiting bodies and identify if any VOCs were specific to a season and geographical areas. Multiple factorial analysis (MFA) was carried out on the signals obtained by MS. Experiments using ITS region sequencing proved that the T. magnatum life cycle includes the formation of fruiting bodies at two different times of the year. The VOCs profiles diverge when different seasonal and geographical productions are considered. Using PTR-TOF-MS, compounds present at levels as low pptv were detected. This made it possible to determine both the origin of fruiting bodies (Alba and San Miniato) and the two biological phases of fruiting bodies formation in San Miniato truffles.

Background: Rational dietary patterns and adequate nutritional status support athlete health and performance, while unhealthy habits may impair these outcomes. This study aimed to identify dietary patterns among Polish professional athletes using a food frequency questionnaire and assess their correlations with nutritional status indicators.
Methods: Participants included 226 elite Polish athletes (aged 16-39 years; 87 women, 139 men) from various sports disciplines.

Three popular cultivated mushroom species (, , and ) were biopreserved through a directed lactic acid fermentation process. strain EK11 obtained from fruiting bodies subjected to spontaneous lactic acid fermentation was used as a starter culture. Regardless of the mushroom species, the pH value on experimental day 7 was ≤3.
