Article Abstract
Background: Ocimum basilicum, valued for its medicinal, culinary, ornamental, and aromatic uses, offers significant potential for development. This study analyzed four O. basilicum accessions to comprehensively assess their total flavonoid content, flavonoid metabolites, and flavonoid metabolism-related genes.
Results: A total of 510 flavonoid metabolites were identified, categorized into ten distinct types. Among these, flavones and flavonols were the most prominent, accounting for over 70% of the total flavonoid metabolites. Significant differences in total flavonoid content were observed among the four accessions (P < 0.05). Thirteen flavonols were identified that likely have the greatest impact on the variation in total flavonoid content among these materials. Based on transcriptome data, 768 differentially expressed genes associated with flavonoid metabolism were identified. Several key genes were identified that may influence the accumulation patterns of candidate flavonoid metabolites.
Conclusions: This study investigated the metabolic diversity and regulatory mechanisms of flavonoids in O. basilicum, providing a theoretical foundation for high-quality breeding. It aids in the identification of varieties with high flavonoid content and superior medicinal and industrial value. The research also promotes the utilization of O. basilicum in the pharmaceutical, food, and agricultural industries, supporting sustainable development. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.

Background: Apple pomace (AP), a byproduct of apple processing, is nutrient-rich, and its properties are influenced by both the quality of the apples and the juice extraction process. Drying technology can enhance its economic utilization. This study compared the effects of industrial drum drying (ID) and laboratory hot-air drying, heat pump drying and freeze drying (FD) on the physicochemical, functional and structural properties of from-concentrate AP (FC-AP) and not-from-concentrate AP (NFC-AP).

Tea is consumed worldwide, and it is highly appreciated by consumers as a functional, healthy, and natural drink. The objectives of this research were to evaluate (1) the storage stability and (2) the consumption effect on biomarkers of oxidative stress of an antioxidant tea prepared from purple corn cob and stevia (AOxTea). The AOxTea bags were subjected to storage environments of 75 or 85 % of relative humidity at 30, 40 and 50 °C for up to 19 days.

Whey protein isolate (WPI) is an important food ingredient, but its high allergenicity limit its application. Recently, metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) have been shown to be effective in modifying proteins. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of MPNs formed from (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and Fe on the structure, antibody-binding capacity, and functional properties of WPI.
