This study evaluated the antibacterial activity of cinnamaldehyde (CIN) and biogenic silver nanoparticles (BioAgNP), alone and in combination, against , Typhimurium, and in vitro. Their sanitation activities on fresh sweet grape tomatoes were also evaluated. CIN and BioAgNP inhibited the growth of the tested bacteria, and at low concentrations, their combinations presented a synergistic effect. In the sanitization of fresh sweet grape tomatoes, CIN (156 µg/mL) combined with BioAgNP (31.25 µM) at subinhibitory concentrations inhibited the growth of after only 5 min of contact. Exposed samples showed no growth of during their shelf life. The combination of these compounds did not change significantly ( > 0.05) the physicochemical properties of sweet grape tomatoes and showed that CIN combined with BioAgNP could represent an effective method for decontaminating fruits and vegetables. This combination has great potential for application in the prevention of foodborne diseases.

Fruit wines have become a popular alternative to grape wines for their variability of sensory properties and unique chemical profiles, offering interesting biological activities. Winemaking also utilizes fruits, which are usually sensitive to biological deterioration, thus reducing post-harvest losses. The quality of wines depends on the fermentation conditions, including the wine yeast selection.

To investigate the effect of infection severity on the flavor characteristics of Petit Manseng noble rot wine, this study analyzed wines produced from Petit Manseng grapes grown in the eastern foothills of Helan Mountain, Ningxia, China. The grapes were categorized into three groups based on infection status: uninfected, mildly infected, and severely infected with . Headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) and an electronic nose were employed to detect and analyze the aroma components of wines under the three infection conditions.

Context: Conservative management of discoloration involves bleaching efficacy. Research suggests that addition of sweet potato and grape seed extract to the bleaching agent has enhanced efficacy with less or no deleterious effects on enamel.
Aim: Evaluate the efficacy of combining sweet potato and grape seed extracts with 10% and 35% hydrogen peroxide on bleaching of enamel and assess their post-bleaching effects on enamel surface.

The effect of hydroxycinnamic acids on the aroma formation of Cabernet Sauvignon dry red wine and the molecular mechanism were explored. Four hydroxycinnamic acids were added singly before alcoholic fermentation. Volatile components were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively and aroma characteristics were evaluated by sensory analysis.

The synergistic interaction between grape cultivars and terroir fundamentally shapes wine quality and regional typicity. This three-year (2021-2023) study investigated the flavor profiles of wines produced from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Marselan, Merlot, Malbec, Syrah, Petit Verdot, Dornfelder, and Pinot Noir grown in Manas, Xinjiang, China, combining HPLC-MS, GC-MS, sensory evaluation, and multivariate analyses. Dornfelder, Marselan, and Petit Verdot exhibited better color due to their highest concentrations of monomeric anthocyanins, flavonols, and anthocyanin derivatives, respectively.
