Article Abstract
This study investigated the use Raman spectroscopy to predict the in-pack total viable count (TVC) of microorganism on vacuum packaged and chilled lamb meat. A total of 159 lamb longissimus lumborum muscles (LL) were sourced from an investigation into the effects of chilled storage periods and packaging types. Each LL was measured while still in its packaging using a hand-held Raman spectroscopy device (785 Mira, Metrohm®, Melbourne, AUS) using a 785 ± 0.5 nm laser, 8-10 cm spectral resolution. After Raman measurements, the samples LL were removed from their packaging and analysed for TVC. It was found that Raman spectra only provided modest predictions (R = 0.29; RMSE = 1.34) of in-pack TVC. Raman spectra could, however, differentiate between lamb meat with high and low TVC (based on log 5 CFU/g) with relatively high accuracy (92.5 %) and sensitivity (88.0 %). These findings confirm the application of Raman spectroscopy to provide non-destructive information of the in-pack status of TVC for chilled lamb meat.

Carbon dots (CDs) represent a new class of nontoxic and sustainable nanomaterials with increasing applications. Among them, bright and large Stokes-shift CDs are highly desirable for display and imaging, yet the emission mechanisms remain unclear. We obtained structural signatures for the recently engineered green and red CDs by ground-state femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS), then synthesized orange CDs with similar size but much higher nitrogen dopants than red CDs.

Flexible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a new generation of porous materials and are considered for various applications such as sensing, water or gas capture, and water purification. MIL-88 A (Fe) is one of the earliest and most researched flexible MOFs, but to date, there is a lack in the structural aspects that govern its dynamic behaviour. Here, we report the first crystal structure of DMF-solvated MIL-88 A and investigate the impact of real structure effects on the dynamic behaviour of MIL-88 A (Fe), particularly upon water adsorption.

High-concentration electrolytes (HCEs) face inherent challenges such as high viscosity and diminished ionic conductivity caused by the formation of three-dimensional (3D) anion networks, which limit their practical applications. In this study, it is demonstrated that encapsulating HCEs within metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) effectively disrupts these 3-D networks, resulting in significantly enhanced ionic conductivity. Raman spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations reveal a significant reduction in aggregates (AGGs)-state anion within MOF-confined electrolytes, confirming the reconstruction of the solvation environment.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common hematologic malignancy in children. Current clinical diagnosis primarily relies on invasive detection methods, while molecular subtyping remains a complex and time-consuming process. This study innovatively employed silver nanoparticle-based surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) technology to systematically analyze 116 serum samples, including those with breakpoint cluster region-Abelson (-) fusion genotype, mixed-lineage leukemia (, also known as lysine methyltransferase 2A, ) gene rearrangement subtype, T-lymphoblastic ALL, and healthy controls.
