Thermoultrasound and microwave-assisted freeze-thaw pretreatments for improving infrared drying and quality characteristics of red dragon fruit slices

Ultrasonics Sonochemistry, 2022
The effects of thermoultrasound (US-FT), microwave (MW-FT), and room temperature (RT-FT) freeze–thaw pretreatments were evaluated for improving drying kinetics and quality during infrared drying (IRD) of red dragon fruit slices (RDFS).

Toward “Obesityomics”: Domain‐Specific Omics in Precision Obesity Medicine with a Brief AI Perspective

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Obesity's global rise has outpaced the effectiveness of “one‐size‐fits‐all” prevention and treatment strategies. The promise of precision medicine lies in addressing the etiological and biological diversity of obesity and transforming it into actionable endotypes.

Identification of a catalase-phenol oxidase in betalain biosynthesis in red amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Betalains are a group of nitrogen-containing pigments that color plants in most families of Caryophyllales. Their biosynthesis has long been proposed to begin with hydroxylation of L-tyrosine to L-DOPA through monophenolase activity of tyrosinase, but ...
