Degradation Mechanisms, Encapsulation‐Based Stabilization, and Analytical Detection of Vitamin A
Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Vitamin A is an important lipid‐soluble micronutrient essential for vision, immune function, and overall growth and development. However, vitamin A is unstable and susceptible to environmental factors because of its conjugated structure and inherent chemical reactivity.

Exploring the Metabolic Pathways of Melon (Cucumis melo L.) Yellow Leaf Mutants via Metabolomics
PlantsA yellow leaf mutant named ‘ZT00091’ was discovered during the cultivation of the melon variety ‘ZT091’. An analysis of the leaf ultrastructure revealed that the chloroplasts of ‘ZT00091’ were significantly smaller than those of ‘ZT091’, with irregular ...

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.Polyurethane films were prepared from andiroba (Carapa guianensis) and buriti (Mauritia flexuosa) oil‐derived polyols, emphasizing their potential as bio‐based materials. UV–Vis analysis indicates the retention of carotenoid‐related chromophoric features within the polymer matrix.

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise As the sister clade to angiosperms, extant gymnosperms are crucial for reconstructing ancestral gene regulatory networks in seed plants. This highlights the need for model systems representing each of their distinct lineages. However, tools to quickly and effectively investigate gene function in gymnosperms are still limited due to the

Metabolic and molecular events occurring during chromoplast biogenesis [PDF]
, 2011 Chromoplasts are nonphotosynthetic plastids that accumulate carotenoids. They derive from other plastid forms, mostly chloroplasts. The biochemical events responsible for the interconversion of one plastid form into another are poorly documented. However,

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.The bioactive substances we extracted from Lycium barbarum residue (LBR) have a typical polysaccharide structure. When 1.80% LBR was used to replace maize in the diet, the average daily gain of rossbred Simmental was significantly increased, and anti‐inflammatory ability was improved. In addition, LBR improved the fecal microbial composition, increased
