Article Abstract

This study investigated the formation and transformation of key mango aroma during rapid ripening. Physicochemical analysis and volatilomics results showed that (1) a total of 151 volatile compounds were identified across three ripening stages (immature, ripe, and overripe). Among these, 23 volatiles, including (E,Z)-2,6-nonadienal and geraniol (odor activity value >1), were identified as the dominant aroma compounds. (2) (E)-2-hexenal (green odor) and (E)-2-nonenal (waxy odor) were key discriminative volatiles for immature and overripe mangoes, respectively (VIP > 6). (3) Volatile divergence across stages was primarily driven by linolenic acid and linoleic acid catabolism. During ripening, C aldehydes derived from linolenic acid metabolism, such as (E,Z)-2,6-nonadienal, conferred the characteristic mango aroma. During overripeness, linolenic acid metabolism was weakened, and linoleic acid decomposition increased by 48 %, resulting in the production of off-flavor compounds, including (E)-2-nonenal and (Z)-4-heptenal. These findings provide new insights for modern industrial mango processing, facilitating enhanced product quality.

Heart DHA turnover is faster in female compared to male ALA- and EPA-fed mice.

Young females have higher circulating docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) levels than males, though the metabolic basis remains incompletely understood. Building on previous findings demonstrating higher hepatic synthesis of the DHA precursor, docosapentaenoic acid (DPAn-3) in males, this study extends the investigation to n-3 PUFA turnover in extrahepatic tissues of male and female C57BL/6N mice using compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA). Animals were fed a 12-week diet enriched in either α-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), or DHA, starting with a 4-week phase containing low carbon-13 (δC)-n-3 PUFA, followed by an 8-week phase with high δC-n-3 PUFA (n = 4 per diet, time point, sex).

Background: The gut-liver axis, pivotal in managing glucose balance and insulin responsiveness, is central to the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Research has highlighted the regulatory effects of dietary alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), but it remains unclear how ALA modulates gut microbiota and liver inflammation in T2DM.

Purpose: This study aimed to systematically investigate ALA's influence on liver inflammation, intestinal barrier integrity, gut microbial composition, and metabolic homeostasis in T2DM, with a focus on the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Background And Aims: Cell wall invertases have multiple roles in plant growth and development, yet their biological functions in seed oil production are still not understood.

Methods: In the present study, the Oryza sativa (rice) cell wall invertase gene OsGIF1 (GRAIN INCOMPLETE FILLING 1) was ectopically expressed in Glycine max (Soybean) and its functions in grain yield and seed nutrition was investigated.

Key Results: We found that constitutive expression of OsGIF1 significantly improved biomass production, grain yield and seed nutrition in transgenic plants.

Flaxseed oil contains elevated levels of omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 FA), which have been shown to impact reproductive performance. This study aimed to determine the effects of a flaxseed oil-based supplement on reproductive parameters, feeding behavior, and lipid profile in beef heifers. Sixty Angus and Simmental × Angus heifers (14 months old ± 2 months), blocked by full body weight (BW; 396.
