Article Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the antioxidant potential in the fruits of different hybrids of and (four hybrids) against the fruit of known cultivars of both species (-three cultivars; -five cultivars) and, using chemometric analysis, to select factors affecting the level of polyphenols and antioxidant properties. Antioxidant activity was determined using the ABTS, DPPH and FRAP tests. Chemometric analysis enabled the separation of and cultivars and classified the hybrid / R1314701 as belonging to the species. Moreover, two hybrids, / R1613411 and / R1613409, can be classified as a purple raspberry. Crossbreeding species/cultivars of the genus may result in an increased content of anthocyanins, but on the other hand, it may lead to a reduction in free radical scavenging activity in the ABTS and DPPH. Spearman's correlations confirm the correlations between the total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity in the DPPH, ABTS and FRAP, as well as the anthocyanin content and antioxidant activity in the ABTS and FRAP tests. Chemometric analysis can be an effective tool in determining the species affiliation of obtained hybrids and cultivars.

Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a robust proinflammatory cytokine that activates immune cells, such as T cells and natural killer cells, to induce antitumor immunity. However, the clinical application of recombinant IL-12 has been limited by systemic immune-related adverse events (irAEs) and rapid degradation. To address these challenges, we employed mRNA technology to encode a tumor-activated IL-12 "lock" fusion protein that offers both therapeutic efficacy and systemic safety.

Yerba mate, a key crop in South America, is prized for its pleasant taste and high organoleptic quality, often linked to lower branch content. To quantify branch content and authenticate high-quality samples (less than 30 % m/m branch content), a Chemometrics-assisted Color Histogram-based Analytical System (CACHAS) was employed. Using Hue-Saturation-Value (HSV) histograms, Partial Least Squares (PLS) demonstrated excellent predictive performance, achieving a root mean square error (RMSEP) of 4.

Organophosphorus nerve agents (OPNAs), including G-agents, EGA (ethyltabun, phosphonamidic acid, P-cyano-N,N-diethyl-, ethyl ester) and V-agents, VM (O-ethyl S-(2-diethylaminoethyl) phosphonothiolate), are highly toxic chemical warfare agents (CWAs) with severe risks to human health and environmental security. This study proposes a chemometric-driven framework for forensic tracing of their synthetic pathways using high-resolution GC × GC-TOFMS. By integrating advanced statistical analysis, we identified 160 synthesis-associated chemical attribution signatures (CAS) for EGA and 138 process-specific CAS for VM, with 11 overlapping markers, including ethoxyphosphates and diethylaminoethylamine derivatives.

The contamination of agricultural soils with military-grade explosives such as 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), 1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazaccyclohexane (RDX) and 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetraazacyclohexane (HMX) is an emerging concern in post-conflict regions, where food crops may take up these compounds. This study presents a novel analytical approach for detecting explosive residues in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown on contaminated substrates.

Fruit and fruit-based products are a valuable source of essential nutrients, critical for food security, and drive economic productivity with minimal inputs. The significant rise in global demand for high-quality imported fruit and fruit-based products reflects a shift in consumer awareness and interest in the products origin and potential health-promoting bioactive compounds. Analytical techniques such as liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, inductively coupled plasma techniques, isotope-ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS), near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, visible near infrared (VIS-NIR) spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging (HSI), mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, terahertz spectroscopy, dielectric spectroscopy, electronic nose (e-nose), and electronic tongue (e-tongue) coupled with supervised and unsupervised chemometrics can be employed for traceability, authentication, and bioactive profiling of fruit and fruit-based products.
