2. Development of Gelatin-Based Renewable Packaging with Melaleuca alternifolia Essential Oil for Chicken Breast Preservation.
Lima RP, Carrea DA, Garcia VADS; Polymers (Basel)
The aim of this study was to develop gelatin-based films incorporating Melaleuca alternifolia essential oil (MEO) and assess their application on refrigerated chicken breasts. The results showed that MEO exhibited antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella sp., with inhibition zones of 17 mm and 9 mm, respectively. The
3. Positive Chemotaxis of the Entomopathogenic Nematode Steinernema australe (Panagrolaimorpha: Steinenematidae) towards High-Bush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) Root Volatiles.
Ceballos R, Palma-Millanao R, Navarro PD; Int J Mol Sci
The foraging behavior of the infective juveniles (IJs) of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) relies on host-derived compounds, but in a tri-trophic context, herbivore-induced root volatiles act as signals enhancing the biological control of insect pests by recruiting EPNs. In southern Chile, the EPN Steinernema australe exhibits the potential to

4. Unraveling flavor formation mechanism of cigar smoke through volatile compounds in cigar smoke and potential precursors in cigar tobacco.
Zhang X, Dong T, Chen D; Front Plant Sci
The flavor of cigar smoke directly influences the consumer's willingness to purchase. However, the analysis of cigar smoke was lack. In this research, a total of 235 volatile compounds were identified by GCxGC-TOFMS in cigar smoke from Yuxi, Dehong and Pu'er regions of Yunnan, including 72 alkenes, 47 aromatic hydrocarbons, 42 heterocyclics, 28
