Article Abstract

To investigate the regularities and differences in oxidation products of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and examine the influence of variations in fatty acid compositions and head groups on the kinds and contents of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated. A total of 42 VOCs were identified from PE (16:0-18:2), PC (16:0-18:2), and PC (16:0-18:1), with aldehydes and ketones being the main VOCs in three phospholipids (PLs). The content of most VOCs produced by PE (16:0-18:2), PC (16:0-18:2), and PC (16:0-18:1) increases with the increase of oxidation temperature and time. Reached peak at 175 °C for 60 min. The total VOCs contents generated by PE (16:0-18:2) and PC (16:0-18:2) were higher than those produced by PC (16:0-18:1), with PC (16:0-18:2) showing the highest total VOCs contents. PLs exhibited three mass loss processes with increasing temperature, namely stability, reduction, and stabilization. PC (16:0-18:2) experienced the highest mass loss, followed by PE (16:0-18:2), while PC (16:0-18:1) showed the least mass loss. These findings showed that polyunsaturated fatty acids were more susceptible to oxidation and degradation during oxidation, and the presence of choline groups in the form of PE may enhance the oxidative stability of fatty acyl groups compared to PC.

Given that a variety of factors can affect the decomposition process, it can be difficult to determine the post-mortem interval (PMI). The process is highly dependent on microbial activity, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a by-product of this activity. Given both have been proposed to assist in PMI determination, a deeper understanding of this relationship is needed.

China's aluminum-products industry, a large-scale consumer of industrial paints, is a potentially significant source of full-volatility organic compounds (F-VOCs). However, the emission characteristics of F-VOCs, including VOCs, intermediate-, semi-, and low-volatility organic compounds (I/S/LVOCs), and their role in ozone formation potentials (OFP), and secondary organic aerosol formation potentials (SOAP) remain unclear. In this study, we collected in-field samples from three industrial paints (solvent-based, water-based and powder paints) at spraying and drying processes, and treatment devices to analyze the emission characteristics of F-VOCs, OFP, SOAP.

Bacterial volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been investigated as non-invasive approaches for the diagnosis of infectious diseases. Here, we aimed to explore potential diagnostic markers by profiling VOCs in cultures of unique clinical Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) isolates and stool samples from pediatric patients with C.

The effects of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) with different O and CO concentrations (M40: 40 % O/60 % CO and M80: 80 % O/20 % CO) on the bacterial community, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), color, and shelf-life of porcine longissimus muscle (LM) were investigated during 14 days of storage at 4 °C. The results indicated that the LM samples from M40 treatment exhibited significantly (P < 0.05) lower a* and L* values, as well as higher shear force values, compared to the M80 treatment.

Double-Layer Steamed Milk Custard (DLSMC) is a famous traditional Chinese dessert. This study aimed to analyze the flavor and the changes in metabolites during different stages of DLSMC preparation, including raw buffalo milk, thermo-processing, first and second-layer milk skin formation. Electronic nose and electronic tongue were employed to preliminarily assess the overall flavor characteristics between these stages.
