Article Abstract
Enhancing food taste remains a pivotal focus of modern food science research and has drawn increasing attention in recent years. Among the fundamental components of food flavor, sweetness holds a position of utmost importance and its impact on consumers' sensory experiences is profound, which has driven extensive use of sweeteners as food additives for sweetness regulation in contemporary food industry. However, its underlying mechanisms are not yet fully understood, presenting numerous questions that warrant further investigation. In this review, we trace the historical development of sweetness research, explore the mechanisms underlying sweetness perception, and offer a comprehensive analysis of the molecular structures of various sweeteners. Furthermore, we discuss recent advancements in sweetness detection technologies, with a particular focus on the GL1 sweetness sensor-an established commercial tool for sweetness measurement-as well as emerging taste sensors. By addressing these three fundamental aspects of sweetness research, this review offers a comprehensive overview with significant scientific and economic implications, contributing to both theoretical advancements and practical applications.

The unparalleled loss-less electrical current conduction of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) materials encourages research on YBaCuO (YBCO) to unravel opportunities toward numerous applications. Nonetheless, production costs and throughput of the commercialized HTS Coated Conductors (CCs) are still limiting a worldwide spread. Transient liquid assisted growth (TLAG) is a non-equilibrium process displaying ultrafast growth rate which, when combined with chemical solution deposition (CSD), is emerging as a strong candidate to reduce the cost/performance ratio of YBCO superconductors.

Abscisic acid (ABA) and calcium respectively work as crucial plant hormones and second signalling molecules in the regulation of fruit development and quality formation, including the sugar content and flavour quality. However, the regulatory mechanisms of fruit sugar accumulation arising from the interaction between ABA and calcium have not yet been fully elucidated. Here, we show that the application of ABA or calcium enhances sugar accumulation in sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) fruit, accompanied by upregulation of the expression level of tonoplast sugar transporter 2 (CsTST2), which mediates the transport of sugars into the vacuole.

Egg white peptides (EWPs) face significant flavor challenges due to bitterness, limiting their high-value applications. This study prepared egg white glycopeptides (EWGP) through transglutaminase-catalyzed glycosylation to investigate their flavor enhancement effect. Egg white protein was hydrolyzed by neutral protease and covalently bound to glucosamine under the mediation of transglutaminase to obtain EWGP.
