Article Abstract
(Pc) is a fern that, according to ethnobotanical records, is used in Mexican traditional medicine to treat gastrointestinal ailments. Recent reports indicate that the hexane fraction (Hf) obtained from Pc methanolic frond extract affects tachyzoite viability in vitro; therefore, in the present study, the activity of different Pc hexane subfractions (Hsf) obtained by chromatographic methods was evaluated in the same biological model. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis was carried out for hexane subfraction number one (Hsf1), as it showed the highest anti- activity with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC) of 23.6 µg/mL, a 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC) of 398.7 µg/mL in Vero cells, and a selective index (SI) of 16.89. Eighteen compounds were identified by Hsf1 GC/MS analysis, with the majority being fatty acids and terpenes. Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester was the most commonly found compound (18.05%) followed by olean-13(18)-ene, 2,2,4a,8a,9,12b,14a-octamethyl-1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,6a,6b,7,8,8a,9,12,12a,12b,13,14,14a,14b-eicosahydropicene, and 8-octadecenoid acid, methyl ester, which were detected at 16.19%, 12.53%, and 12.99%, respectively. Based on the mechanisms of action reported for these molecules, Hsf1 could exert its anti- activity mainly on lipidomes and membranes.

Fire is a key natural disturbance influencing physical, chemical, and biological processes in the Cerrado. Ash, a fire byproduct, may significantly influence soil macrofauna through its chemical properties. Dung beetles (Scarabaeinae), critical components of Cerrado soil macrofauna, provide key ecological functions and services.

In this study, yak bone collagen peptide-tea polyphenol binding peptides (YCP/TP) were successfully prepared and investigated for their positive effects in replacing nitrite to improve the color, texture, flavor and bacterial community structure of fermented sausages. Results showed that YCP/TP primarily binds through hydrogen bond interactions, enhancing its stability and functional properties. The YCP/TP can effectively inhibit the increase in pH, protein carbonyls and TBARS (p < 0.

In this study, the intrinsic properties of jujube were modified through co-fermentation with three non-Saccharomyces yeasts and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum to solve the stickiness and caking problems of jujube powder. Results showed that sugar content in jujube pulp was significantly reduced through microbial metabolism. Notably, sucrose, the major contributor to stickiness, was reduced from over 15.

The complexity of cheese flavour components, different origin and variability in experimental data have hindered credible flavour description of Cheddar cheese at different ripening time periods. This study combined GC-MS with machine learning to explore the common characteristic ingredients of Cheddar cheese independent of origin during ripening stage at 6-12 °C. A random forest model among six classifiers performed best in assessing Cheddar cheese ripening time and 14 flavour substances (ketones, acids, and lactones) were selected as characteristic flavours by recursive feature elimination from 66 flavour substances to train the model.
