Article Abstract
Given the transformation that gastronomy has undergone in recent years, there is a need to characterize some new foods that are being incorporated into the modern diet. Among them, edible flowers stand out, which are used today not only to enhance the organoleptic properties of gourmet dishes but also for some of the beneficial properties they provide to human health. In this study, the volatilomic fingerprint of seven edible flowers that are used daily in Michelin-starred restaurants on Madeira Island was established. For this purpose, the extraction of volatile organic metabolites (VOMs) was carried out using the headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) technique followed by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed a wide variability among the analyzed flowers. While fewer VOMs were detected in some flowers, other flowers, such as and spp., exhibited a greater number of these compounds. had the highest number of detected VOMs. Each of these VOMs contributes to the characteristic aroma representative of the respective flower, highlighting their potential health benefits, as some are known for their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and even anticancer properties.

Objective: The diversity and potency of cannabis products have increased in recent years, underscoring the importance of understanding which products are being used and why. Patients with substance use disorders (SUDs) use have a high prevalence of risky cannabis use, making it especially important to understand use patterns in this group. We aimed to first describe cannabis product characteristics and then explore reasons for choosing products in our sample.

Tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) is a common antioxidant in food oils, and reliable detection methods are needed to ensure food safety. Here, a photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor based on BiO/MgInS/GCE was developed for the detection of TBHQ. The sensor performance was significantly enhanced through electrostatic assembly of sheet-like BiO onto flower-like MgInS, forming a type-II heterojunction with carefully controlled component ratios, pH, and applied potential.

In this study, we investigated the microbial quality and bacterial diversity in Protaetia brevitarsis larvae reared on different substrates (spent mushrooms and oak sawdust). The microbiological quality of the rearing substrates differed significantly. Total viable counts (TVC) did not differ between oak sawdust and mushroom-based substrates, whereas coliforms (4.
