Shrimp sauce is a widely used aquatic seasoning, yet remains insufficient standardization in quality and flavor profiles. This study analyzed seven traditional shrimp sauces and one Antarctic krill-derived fermentation sauce (AK), focusing on basic quality parameters and key flavor compounds. The traditional shrimp sauces contained total protein (TP) ranging from 5.81 % to 12.94 %, with amino acids nitrogen (AAN) (0.62-1.31 g/100 mL), total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) (146.64-318.17 mg N/100 mL), and thiobarbituric acid (TBARS) (0.75-2.36 mg/kg). The AK showed higher nutritional quality (TP:13.57 %; AAN:1.21 g/100 mL) and lower spoilage indicators (TBARS:0.946 mg/kg; TVB-N:97.65 mg N/100 mL). Key flavor compounds identified included Glu, Val, Ala, Lys, acetic acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, nonanal, decanal, propanal, and benzeneacetaldehyde. Additionally, characteristic compounds specific to AK included Arg, GMP and 5-methyl-3-heptanone. These findings provided a foundation for standardizing the quality of shrimp sauce and serve as a reference for flavor enhancement.

Tea (Camellia sinensis) polysaccharides (TPS) and tea polysaccharide conjugates (TPC) are bioactive compounds found in tea leaves and flowers, attracting growing interest for their biological activities and emerging applications in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Despite substantial progress in tea polyphenol research, studies focusing on TPS and TPC are still relatively underrepresented. This review fills a gap in the literature by summarizing the latest advancements in the extraction, characterization, and biological effects of TPS and TPC.

Plant-based fat replacers have attracted considerable interest owing to their contributions to environmental sustainability, animal welfare, and health benefits. Their textural properties and flavor release behavior during processing are key determinants of their quality. Herein, a dual-network gel was produced using gellan gum and curdlan, which are thermally reversible and irreversible gel samples, respectively.

In this study, a novel carbon dots-based system was developed for the sequential quantification of Au and L-cysteine (L-Cys). The system comprises N,F-doped carbon dots (N,F-CDs), a custom-designed miniaturized fluorimeter, and test strips. The N,F-CDs exhibit outstanding optical properties, including a large Stokes shift (127 nm) and high fluorescence intensity.

The growing demand for healthy Tartary buckwheat-based foods has sparked interest in fermentation as a processing technique to enhance food quality and bioactivity. This study investigated the impact of solid-state fermentation of black Tartary buckwheat (BTB) with Monascus purpureus and Eurotium cristatum PW-1 on its quality, biochemical properties, and hypolipidemic potential, using metabolomics, bioinformatics, network pharmacology, and invivo zebrafish models. Fermentation significantly increased total amino acids, γ-aminobutyric acid, and aromatic volatile compounds such as alcohols, esters, terpenes, and terpenoids, enhancing the flavor profile.

The controlled atmosphere (CA) technique, though well-established in perishable food preservation, had been underexplored in broth production. This study investigated the effects of varying cooking times (30, 60, 90 min) and temperatures (105 °C, 110 °C, 115 °C) under CA and non-controlled atmosphere (NCA) conditions on the sensory, compositional, flavor, and stability characteristics of pork bone broth. Clear differences between CA and NCA were found and analyzed.
